World of Warcraft - Item Upgrading

Item upgrading allows players to increase an item's gear score up to 700 and also add a final perk. Items can be upgraded if they are in your inventory and you decide to take them to the kiln.

Certain items are worth upgrading due to their unique stats. (For instance, a perfectly roll breakpoint armor is used in melee PvP). Other items like weapons don't change much after an upgrade and therefore aren't worth the effort.

Weapons

Weapons can be upgraded to improve their numeric stats such as the chance to crit, attack damage, PvE and PvP damage. They also have a flat bonus which increases the damage they deal per second. Additionally some weapons come with an added bonus that is activated when three or more of the same weapon are equipped on a unit. In some cases this bonus could add up to more than the amount of damage that a weapon can sustain on its own.

The cost of upgrading a weapon's capabilities is contingent on the nature of the weapon as well as its current level. For instance, a +2 weapon requires two standard Smithing Stones while a+3 requires four. The number of stones needed to upgrade the gun will increase until it needs a higher level of Smithing Stones. At that point it will reset to one.

Upgraded weapons can also alter their base stats. While this is generally a good thing but it can also have negative effects as well. Upgrades can make items unusable, unless you are extremely lucky.

Upgrades can be made to armor items to boost their performance. For instance, if you have a helm or chest, it will boost the defense of its base, while a belt and gloves will increase their strength and dexterity. Armor also has a reroll option for its Enhanced Defense percent, which means that it could roll back to a lower number.

The upgrade template of a weapon will display the new stats it will gain upon upgrading, as well as the values of these stats. This means that an upgrade from a sword that has 8 damage to an 11 attack-damage sword will result in the weapon gaining 3% of attack damage. However, the 3% doesn't mean that it will hit for 3 fewer times as it is an absolute number.

A weapon can be rerolled by pressing the green button with arrows that circle in the menu for items. This will roll the item level upgrade and alter its stats, but it won't reset the weapon's level or bind to account status.

Armor

Making a few improvements to your armor could make a a huge difference in your capacity to withstand. Certain sets can offer massive improvements in the resistance to curses, poisons, fire, and magic. This can make it easier to navigate difficult terrains. In general, the greater defense your character has the more value you will get out of each point of health you possess, so it's important to improve your armor as often as you can.

You can upgrade your armor by visiting one of the Great Fairy Fountains. There are four Great Fairy Fountains within the game, and to unlock each fountain, you have to complete an additional quest that involves the Stable Trotters. After you've completed the main quest, and the corresponding fountains, you'll have the option of talking to any Great Fairy in order to unlock the armor upgrade menu.

The amount of materials required to upgrade each piece of armor will vary. In general, you'll be looking at anything from three to five Red Chuchu Jellies and ten Rupees for the initial upgrade, and anywhere between five Rubies and ten Fire-Breath Lizalfos Horns for each subsequent one. For instance the Champion Leathers can be upgraded to +5 defense, which allows you to keep pace with a good-sized group of adversaries in most cold conditions, and the Snowquill Headdress can be upgraded up to +20 defense, providing you enough protection to survive the full-on assault with a handful of friends.

It isn't possible to upgrade armor like weapons. If you're playing as a Warrior it is best to focus on upgrading your armor for physical strength or spell power. It's also worth saving your armor item upgrading upgrades to use for armor you'll wear at the end of the game, such as the Ring of Lightning and Spectral Shield, or the helmet you use for the final boss battle, the Monter Parts Merchant's mask.

You can also get some benefits to your armor by presenting the jeweler at Gerudo Town 10 Twinkling Titanite. Generally, you'll want to keep these upgrades for the weapon you'll be using to beat the game, like the Longsword, Battleaxe or Warhammer, but it can be useful to have a few upgrades of the chest armor and helmets to permit you to sneak past certain monsters.

Potions

Potions are liquids that when consumed by a player, give a temporary effect for a short period of time. There are five types of potions, each with different effects and durations. Some potions may be upgraded, enhancing the effectiveness of their effects. You can also enhance the effects of certain potions by including glowstone dust and redstone.

Upgrades to potion cost a certain amount of XP. This can be earned by crafting them on a table or in the Alchemist's chest. However, the upgrade price is dependent on the type of potion you want to upgrade, and also on the item level upgrade's Mark Level as well as its rarity.

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 a GUI in which you can select the potions you want to upgrade and the amount of XP they'll produce when upgraded. The upgrade of potions can be completed in batches of up to five at a single time, and the XP that they generate will be added to your current XP total.

Once a poton is upgraded in quality, it will not deteriorate until you use it again or break the bottle in the container it is kept. Clicking on the potion in your inventory will also allow you to change its name.

There were a few changes to potion mechanics in version 1.7.2. For instance splash potions now have an average duration of 0:08 (this is not the same as the 22.5 seconds displayed on the item upgrades hover display). The table for potion can now be made using four Wood Planks and two Glass. It is now able to be used in both Survival and Bedrock. Bedrock Edition potions are not compatible with cauldrons, as is the case with Java Edition. Additionally, using a potentio on a full cauldron drains the potion and refills the bottle.

In addition, there are lingering potions, which are brewed with dragon breath and splash potions. Redstone is also added to potions that are lingering to increase their effect. The potion table is now laid out more in line with the Java Edition, and new potions were added, such as the potion of leaping and the potion of decomposition, and turtle master potions.

Trinkets

A trinket could be an ornament that is small and inexpensive or piece jewelry. It can be a reference to an object or ornament that serves a function but is not particularly important like a tiny thimble. In certain cultures, a trinket is used to symbolize affection or friendship, particularly between family members.

In addition to armor, weapons, and potions, players can upgrade their trinkets. Upgrades can be made by paying the appropriate currency to an upgrade vendor. As with other upgrades to items trinkets are able to be exchanged at will without losing their stats.

The upgrade vendors are found in major cities and in the capital of each zone, and in in dungeons. Upgrades for trinkets are purchased using tokens, gold or fragments of rare trinkets.

Upgrading a trinket is an economical alternative to buying an entirely new one. One can upgrade their trinket for just 12 tokens. The new trinket will come with the same base ilvl as previous one, and will come with an additional upgrade bonus of 1.

Trinkets can be re-upgraded once they're no longer useful which allows a player to boost their power and value over time. They can be traded among players and are a viable alternative to gold.

In general players should upgrade their most important items first. This means that the top-in slot items for each class are first upgraded then their secondary gear, and then other pieces of equipment that will not replace in the near future (such as an earring or a cloak). When deciding the items to upgrade, players should also be aware of the class's preferred stats. For Item upgrading instance when Haste and Crit are the two most important stats for a tank, they should be focusing on upgrading their helm, chest, shoulders, and belt.

After they've become unusable trinkets are able to be upgraded to a higher level. The new trinket has an additional 1% bonus. However, a re-upgrade is likely to destroy the old trinket, unless it is salvaged with the Black Lion Salvage Kit or an alternative salvage tool that is higher-end. This makes upgrading trinkets more expensive than other upgrades, but is still less expensive than buying the new one.
