World of Warcraft - Item Upgrading
The item upgrade allows players to boost the gear rating of an item up to 700 points and give it a bonus. Items can be upgraded by having them in inventory and heading to the kiln.
Certain items can be upgraded for their unique stats (like a perfectly broken point armour that is rolled for melee PvP) and others, like weapons, don't change much post upgrade and thus aren't worth upgrading.
Weapons
Upgrades to weapons can improve their numerical stats, including attack damage, crit chance, and PvE/PvP damage. Weapons have a flat-rate bonus that increases damage per second. A lot of weapons also have a fixed bonus which is activated when three or more identical weapons are placed in a group. This bonus can sometimes be more than the damage that a weapon upgrade alone can cause.
The cost of upgrading a weapon varies on its rarity as well as its current level. For instance, a +2 weapon will require two regular Smithing Stones to upgrade while an upgrade of +3 requires four. The number of stones required to upgrade a weapon will continue to rise until it requires the higher level of Smithing Stones, at which point it will reset to one.
Upgrades to weapons will also alter the stats of the base. While this is generally an excellent thing however, it could have negative consequences as well. In the case of items that only see use in a particular build (Whistant's shield for FB Sorcs, for example), upgrading them may render them useless unless you happen to have an extremely lucky roll.
Upgrades can be made to armor items to increase their effectiveness. In the case of chests or helms this will increase its base defense while a belt and gloves will increase their strength and dexterity. Armor has a rerolling option for its Enhanced Defense%. This means that it can sometimes reroll down to a lower value.
The upgrade template for a weapon shows the new stats it will gain upon upgrading, along with their relative values. This means that a change from a sword that has 8 damage to an 11-attack-damage sword would result in a weapon receiving 3% of attack damage. The 3% does not mean that the weapon will hit 3 times less, as it is an absolute number.
A weapon can be rerolled by pressing the green button, which is accompanied by circling arrows in the item menu. This will roll an item and alter its stats but not reset the weapon's level or bind it to account status.
Armor
Making a few improvements to your armor can make a a huge difference in your ability to survive. Certain sets offer massive increases in poison, curse, fire and magic resistance, which can make it easier to navigate through tough terrain. In general, the greater defense you have on your character, the more health you'll get from each point. Therefore, it is recommended to upgrade your armor.
You can upgrade your armor by visiting one of the Great Fairy Fountains. There are four Great Fairy Fountains in the game, and to unlock each fountain, you must complete an additional quest that involves the Stable Trotters. After you've completed the main side quest and completed the fountain that corresponds and then you can contact any Great Fairy to open up the armor upgrade menu.
Each piece of armor can be upgraded to three levels, and the amount of material and Rupees needed for each level will differ. In general, you're looking at anything from three to ten 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. For example the Champion Leathers could be upgraded to +5 defense, which allows you to keep pace with a large group of enemies in the majority of cold conditions, and the Snowquill Headdress can be upgraded all the way to +20 defense, giving the protection needed to survive the full-on assault with a few of your friends.
You can't upgrade armor the same as weapons. If you're playing as a Warrior, you should focus on upgrading your armor to increase physical power or spell power. It is also recommended to save your armor upgrades to upgrade the armor you'll still be wearing at the end of the story, like the Ring of Lightning, Spectral Shield or the mask you'll wear in the final boss fight, the Monter Parts Merchant Mask.
By giving the jeweler 10 Twinkling Titanite in Gerudo Town, you can unlock perks for your armor. You'll generally want to save these upgrades to the weapon you'll use to win the game. For example the Longsword or Battleaxe. However, it's beneficial to have some upgrades for the helmets and chest armor to allow you to escape some monsters.
Potions
Potions are liquids that, when consumed by the player, provide an immediate effect for a short period of time. There are five types of potions with different effects and durations. Certain potions can be upgraded to enhance their level of effectiveness. In addition the effects of some potions can be enhanced by adding glowstone dust or redstone to the potions.
Upgrades to your potion require a specific amount XP. This can be obtained by making them on a crafting table or by storing them in the Alchemist chest. The cost of upgrading varies based on the type of potion and the item's rarity and Mark Level.
To upgrade a potion to the next level, right-click on it in your inventory and select the "Upgrade" option from the menu. This opens a GUI where you can choose the potions you wish to upgrade and the amount of XP they'll give you when upgraded. You can upgrade potions in batches of up to five at once, and their XP will be added to the total XP you have.
Once a potion has been upgraded, it will not be degraded until you use it again or break the bottle it's stored in. Clicking on the potion in your inventory will also allow you to change its name.
There were some changes to the mechanics of potions in version 1.7.2. For example the splash potions now have the duration of zero,08 seconds (this is not the equivalent of 22.5 seconds shown on the hover display of the item). The table of potion constructed from four Wood Planks, and two Glass. It is now able to be utilized in both Survival and Bedrock. Bedrock Edition potions aren't compatible with cauldrons, as is the case with Java Edition. Also, putting a potion on a full cauldron drains the contents and replenishes the bottle.
Lastly, there are now lingering potions, which are made with dragon breath and splash potions. Redstone can also be added to lingering potions to enhance their effect. 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 cheap ornament or piece of jewelry. It can also refer to an object or ornament that serves a function but is not important such as a thimble. In certain cultures, a trinket is used to symbolize affection or friendship, specifically between family members.
In addition to weapons, armor and potions, players can upgrade their trinkets. They can be upgraded by going to an upgrade vendor and paying the appropriate currency. As with other upgrades to items trinkets are able to be traded out at any time without losing their status.
item upgrader can be found at the capitals of every zone, and sometimes in dungeons. Upgrades for trinkets can be bought with tokens, gold or fragments of rare trinkets.
Upgrades are a cheaper alternative to purchasing a new trinket. It is possible to upgrade the player for less than 12 tokens. The new trinket comes with the same base level as the previous trinket but it also comes with an additional bonus of 1% upgrade.
Trinkets can be upgraded when they're no longer needed and allows players to increase their power and worth over time. They can also be traded between players and are a popular alternative to gold.
Players should upgrade their most important items first. This typically means the top-of-the-line items for their class, followed by their secondaries, and finally other items of gear will not be replaced in the near future (for example rings or cloaks). Players should also take into consideration their class's preferred stats when choosing which items to upgrade. For instance, if Haste and Crit are the two most important stats for a tank it is recommended that they upgrade their helm, chest, shoulders, and belt.
When they are no longer useful, trinkets can be upgraded to a higher level. The new trinket comes with an additional 1% bonus. Re-upgrading will destroy the trinket unless it is salvaged using the Black Lion Salvage Kit, or a salvage tool. Upgrades to trinkets can be more expensive than other upgrades but still cheaper than buying new ones.
