World of Warcraft - Item Upgrading
The upgrade option lets players increase the gear rating of an item up 700 points and also add a bonus. Items can be upgraded by having them in inventory, and then taking them to the kiln.
Certain items can be upp'd to increase their stats (like a perfectly made breakpoint armour that can be rolled to use in melee PvP) while other items, such as weapons do not vary greatly post upgrade and thus aren't worth upgrading.
Weapons
Weapons can be upgraded to boost their numeric stats such as crit chance, attack damage PvE and damage to PvP. Weapons come with a flat rate bonus that increases damage per second. Additionally there are many weapons with a set bonus that activates when three or more of the same weapon is present on a single unit. In certain instances, this bonus could add up to more than the amount of damage a weapon upgrades on its own.
A weapon's upgrade costs depend on the nature of the weapon as well as its current level. For example, an +2 weapon will require two standard Smithing Stones while a+3 requires four. The number of stones needed to upgrade a weapon will increase until it needs more Smithing Stones. At that point, it will reset back to one.
Upgrades to weapons will also alter the stats of their base. This is usually a positive thing, but it can also have negative consequences. In the case of items that are only used in a certain build (Whistant's shield for FB sorcs for instance) upgrading them could render them unusable unless you happen to have an extremely lucky roll.
item upgrader of armor can also be upgraded to boost their stats. In the case of a helm or chest, it will boost the defense of its base, while a belt and gloves will enhance their required strength and dexterity. Armor offers a rerolling option for its Enhanced Defense percent. This means that it can sometimes reroll down to a lower value.
The upgrade template of a weapon will show the new stats that it will gain after upgrading along with the relative value of those stats. This means that an upgrade from an 8 attack-damage sword to an 11-attack-damage sword will result in the weapon gaining an attack damage of 3. However the 3% does not mean that it will hit 3 times less often, since it is an absolute number.
Rerolling a weapon is possible by pressing the green button in the item menu using the arrows that circle. This will roll an item and alter its stats but not reset the weapon's levels or tie it to the account status.
Armor
A few armor upgrades can make a huge difference in your ability to survive. Certain sets offer massive improvements in the resistance to curses, poison fire, magic, and other. This can make it easier to get through difficult terrains. In general, the greater defense you have for your character, the greater health you'll gain from each point. So, it's best to upgrade your armor.
You can upgrade your armor by visiting any of the Great Fairy Fountains. There are four fountains in all, and each requires you to complete a special side quest that involves the Stable Trotters musical troupe. Once you've done the main side quest and mastered the fountain in question, you can then speak to any Great Fairy to open up the armor upgrade menu.
The amount of material needed to upgrade each piece of armor will differ. In general, you're looking at anything from three to five Red Chuchu Jellies and 10 Rupees for the first upgrade, and anywhere between five Rubies and 10 Fire-Breath Lizalfos Horns for each subsequent one. The Champion Leathers, as an example, can be upgraded to a +5 defense rating, which will allow you to remain competitive in frigid environments with a large group of enemies. The Snowquill Headdress, on the other hand, can be upgraded to +20 defense, which means you're able to survive a battle with friends.
It isn't possible to upgrade armor the same as weapons. If you're playing as a Warrior then you should concentrate on upgrading your armor to increase physical power or spell power. It's also worth saving your armor upgrades to use for armor you'll still be wearing at the end of the game, such as the Ring of Lightning and Spectral Shield or the helmet you use for the final boss fight as well as the Monter Parts merchant's mask.
You can also get some benefits to your armor by presenting the jeweler in Gerudo Town 10 Twinkling Titanite. In general, you should keep these upgrades for the weapon you'll be using to win the game like the Longsword, Battleaxe or Warhammer However, it is beneficial to have a few upgrades of the helmets and chest armor that allow you to stealth around certain monsters.
Potions
Potions are liquids that when consumed by the player, provide a temporary effect. There are five kinds of potions with different effects and durations. Certain potions can be upgraded to enhance their effectiveness. You can also enhance the effects of certain potions by adding glowstone dust and redstone.
Potion upgrades require a certain amount of XP. This can be obtained by making them on a table or by storing them in the Alchemist chest. The price of upgrades varies based on the type of potion as well as the item's rarity as well as Mark Level.
To upgrade a potion to the next level, right-click on it in your inventory and choose the "Upgrade" option from the menu. This will open an GUI where you can select the potions you wish to upgrade and the amount of XP they will yield when upgraded. You can upgrade potions in batches up to five at a time, and their XP will be added to the total XP you currently have.
Once a poton is upgraded, it will not degrade in the event that you take it out again or break the bottle within the container it is stored. Clicking on the potion in your inventory will allow you to change its name.
Version 1.7.2 introduced a few modifications to the mechanics of potions. Splash potions, for instance have now a duration of zero, not the 22.5 seconds displayed on the hover display of the item. The table for potion is constructed from four Wood Planks, and two Glass. This allows it to be utilized by players in Survival and Bedrock. Bedrock Edition potions aren't compatible with cauldrons like Java Edition. The same is true for the use of a potion in the cauldron that is filled. This will draw out the liquid, and then refill the bottle.
There are also simmering potions made using dragon breath and splash potions. Redstone is also added to lingering potions to extend their effects. The potion table is now laid out more in line with the Java Edition, and new potions were added such as potion of leaping, potion of decomposition, and turtle master potions.
Trinkets
A trinket is a tiny and affordable ornament or piece of jewelry. It can also refer to an object or decoration that serves a function but is not particularly significant such as a tiny thimble. In some cultures, a trinket can be used to express friendship or affection between family members.
In addition to armor, weapons, and potions, players are able to upgrade their trinkets. Upgrades can be purchased by paying the appropriate currency to an upgrade vendor. Trinkets like other items that can be upgraded can be exchanged at any time without losing stats.
The upgrade vendors can be found in major cities and the capital of each zone, and in in dungeons. Upgrades for trinkets can be purchased with gold, tokens or fragments of a rare trinket.
Upgrades to trinkets are a cost-effective alternative to purchasing a new one. One can upgrade a trinket with as little 12 tokens. The new trinket has the same level of base as the old trinket however, it will also come with an additional 1% bonus upgrade.
Once the old Trinkets are no longer useful, they can be upgraded. This allows a player to increase their power and value with time. They can be traded between players, making them an alternative to gold.
In general, players should upgrade their top-priority items first. This means that the most-important slot items for each class are upgraded first, followed by their secondary gear, and then other pieces of equipment that won't be replacing in the near future (such as a ring or an cloak). Players should also consider their class's preferred stats when choosing the items to upgrade. If Haste and Crit are two of the most important stats for tank players then they should consider upgrading their chest, helm and shoulders.
Trinkets are able to be upgraded to a higher ilvl once they're no longer needed and the new trinket can be upgraded to have an additional bonus of 1% for upgrading. A re-upgrade, however, can cause damage to the trinket unless it can be salvaged using the help of a Black Lion Salvage Kit, or a higher tier salvage tool. This means upgrading trinkets is more expensive than other upgrades, yet is still less expensive than buying a new one.
