World of Warcraft - Item Upgrading

Item upgrading allows players to boost the gear score of an item up to 700 and also add an additional 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 because of their unique stats. (For example, a perfectly broken point armor that is rolled can be used in melee PvP). Other items such as weapons don't change much after an upgrade and therefore aren't worth the cost.

Weapons

Weapons can be upgraded to increase their numeric stats such as the chance to crit, attack damage as well as PvE and damage from PvP. Weapons come with a flat rate bonus that increases damage per second. Some weapons also come with a fixed bonus which is activated when three or more identical weapons are used in a group. This bonus can sometimes be more than the damage that an upgrade alone can do.

A weapon's upgrade costs depend 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 required to upgrade the gun will increase until it requires a higher level of Smithing Stones. At that point, it will reset back to one.

The upgrade of weapons can also change their base stats. While this is usually an excellent thing, it can have some negative consequences too. Upgrades can render items unusable, unless you are extremely lucky.

It is possible to upgrade armor items to boost their effectiveness. For instance, if you have chests or helms, it will boost its base defense while a belt and gloves will enhance their required strength and dexterity. Armor has a rerolling feature for its Enhanced Defense%. This means that it can sometimes roll down to a lower value.

The upgrade template for a weapon shows the new stats it will gain when upgraded in addition to their relative values. This means that a weapon will gain an attack damage of 3% if it is upgraded from an 8 attack damage sword to an 11 attack damage sword. However the 3% difference doesn't mean that it will hit 3 times less often as it is an absolute number.

Rerolling a weapon is also possible by pressing the green button on the item upgrade menu with the arrows that are circling. This will roll an item and alter its stats, but it will not reset the weapon's levels or bind it to account status.

Armor

A few armor upgrades can make the world of difference to your survivability. Certain sets can offer massive improvements in the resistance to curses, poisons and fire as well as magic. This can make it easier to get through difficult areas. In general, the greater defense your character is, the more value you get from each point of health you possess and it's crucial to upgrade your armor as often as you can.

To upgrade your armor, head to any of the Great Fairy Fountains in the game. There are four Great Fairy Fountains in the game and to unlock each fountain, you must complete an additional quest involving the Stable Trotters. Once you've done the main side quest and have completed the corresponding fountain and then you can talk to any Great Fairy to open up the menu for upgrading your armor.

The amount of material needed to upgrade each piece of armor will vary. In general, you'll need at anything from three to five Red Chuchu jellies and 10 Rupees for the first upgrade, and then anywhere from five Rubies and ten Fire-Breath Lizalfos Horns for each subsequent one. The Champion Leathers, for instance can be upgraded to an increase of 5 defense rating, which will allow you to stay ahead in frigid conditions with a large group of foes. The Snowquill Headdress, on the other hand, can be upgraded as high as +20 defense so that you're able to withstand a rout with friends.

Note that armor can't be upgraded in the same manner as weapons, so you'll have to concentrate on enhancing it to increase physical strength if you're a Warrior or Spell Power if you're a Mage. It's also a good idea to save your armor upgrades to use for armor you'll be wearing at the end of the game, like the Ring of Lightning and Spectral Shield, or the helmet you use for the final boss battle and the Monter Parts Merchant's mask.

You can also get some advantages to your armor by presenting the jeweler at Gerudo Town 10 Twinkling Titanite. Generally, you'll want to save these upgrades for the weapon you'll be using to win the game like the Longsword, Battleaxe or Warhammer however, it could be beneficial to have a few improvements to the chest armor and helmets to let you stealthy battle certain monsters.

Potions

Potions are liquids that when consumed by a player, give a temporary effect. There are five types of potions that have different effects and durations. Certain potions can be upgraded to improve their effectiveness. You can also increase 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 upgrade's rarity and Mark Level.

To upgrade a potion simply right-click on it in your inventory. Then, select "Upgrade" 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 of up to five at once, and their XP will be added to the total amount of XP you have.

Once a poton is upgraded and stored, it will not degrade unless you make use of it again or break the bottle in which it is kept. Clicking on the potion in your inventory will also allow you to change the name of the potion.

There were a few updates to potion mechanics in version 1.7.2. Splash potions, for example are now available with a time of zero, not the 22.5 seconds shown on the hover display for the item. The table for potion can now be crafted with four Wood Planks and two Glass. It can be used in both Survival and Bedrock. Unlike the Java Edition, Bedrock edition potions are not able to be mixed in cauldrons. Additionally, using a potentio on a full cauldron, it drains the contents and refills the bottle.

In addition, there are lingering potions that are brewed using splash and dragon breath potions. Similarly, a lingering potions' effect is extended by adding redstone. The table of potion ingredients has been rearranged to look more like the Java Edition. New potions are also added, like the potion of leaping as well as decomposition.

Trinkets

A trinket can be an ornamental item upgrader mod that is small, cheap or piece of jewelry. It can be a reference to a piece of art or a decoration that serves a purpose, 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 weapons, armor and potions, players can upgrade their trinkets. Upgrades can be obtained by paying the appropriate currency to an upgrade vendor. As with other upgrades to items, trinkets can be traded out at any time without losing their status.

Upgrade vendors are located at the capitals of each zone and in some cases in dungeons. Upgrades for trinkets are offered with tokens, gold, or fragments from rare trinkets.

Upgrades are a cheaper alternative to purchasing a new trinket. A player can upgrade a trinket for just 12 tokens. The new trinket has the same base level as the previous trinket however, it will also come with an additional bonus of 1% upgrade.

When the old Trinkets are no longer useful they can be upgraded. This allows a player to increase both their power and value over time. They can also be traded between players, making them an attractive alternative to gold.

Players must upgrade their most valuable items first. This typically means the top-of-the-line items for their class, followed by their secondary items and finally, other items of gear they will not be replacing soon (for example an earring or cloak). Players should also take into consideration their class's preferred stats when selecting which items to upgrade. For instance when Haste and Crit are the two most important stats for a tank, they should prioritize upgrading their chest, helm, shoulders, and belt.

Trinkets are able to be upgraded to a higher ilvl after they're no longer needed and the new trinket will receive an additional upgrade bonus of 1. However, a re-upgrade is likely to ruin the previous trinket in the event that it is not saved using a Black Lion Salvage Kit or an additional salvage tool of higher quality. This means upgrading trinkets is more expensive than other upgrades, however it is still cheaper than buying the new one.
