World of Warcraft - Item Upgrading
Item upgrading allows players to boost the gear score of an item up to 700 and also add a final perk. item upgrading can be upgraded if they're in your inventory and you decide to take them to the Kiln.
Certain items are worth upgrading because of their distinctive 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 damage to attack, crit chance as well as PvE and damage to PvP. Weapons also have a flat bonus which increases their damage per second. Additionally there are many weapons with a set bonus which is activated when three or more of the same weapon are present on a unit. This bonus can sometimes be more than the damage a weapon upgrade alone can do.
The cost of upgrading a weapon varies on its rarity and 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 the weapon will continue to rise until it requires an upgrade to a higher level of Smithing Stones, at which point it will reset to one.
Upgrades to weapons will also change the stats of the base. This is usually a positive aspect, but it may also have negative consequences. For items that only see use in a particular build (Whistant's shield for FB Sorcs, for example) upgrading them could render them useless unless you happen to have an extremely lucky roll.
The ability to upgrade armor items to boost their stats. This can boost the base defense of a chest or helm, while belts and gloves will increase their required strength and agility. Armor has a rerolling option for its Enhanced Defense percent. This means that it may roll down to a lower value.
The upgrade template of a weapon will display the new stats that it will gain when upgrading, as well as the relative values of those stats. This means that the weapon will gain an attack damage of 3% if it is upgraded from an 8 attack damage sword to an 11 attack damage sword. The 3% difference does not mean that the weapon will hit 3 times less, as it is an absolute number.
Rerolling a weapon is possible by pressing the green button within the item menu using the circling arrows. This will roll the item and alter its stats, however, it will not reset the weapon's levels or connect to the status of your account.
Armor
Adding a few upgrades to your armor can make a an enormous difference in your capacity to withstand. Certain sets can provide MASSIVE improvements in the resistance to poison, curses fire, magic, and other. This makes it easier to get through difficult terrains. In general, the greater defense you can offer your character, the greater health you can gain from each point. So, it's best to upgrade your armor.
To improve your armor, head to one of the Great Fairy Fountains in the game. There are four Great Fairy Fountains within the game, and to unlock them all, you have to complete an additional quest that involves the Stable Trotters. After you've completed your main quest and the corresponding fountains, you'll be able to talk to any Great Fairy in order to unlock the menu for upgrading armor.
The amount of material needed to upgrade each piece of armor will vary. In general, you'll need at anything from three to ten Red Chuchu Jellies and 10 Rupees for the first upgrade, then anywhere between five Rubies and 10 Fire-Breath Lizalfos Horns for each subsequent upgrade. The Champion Leathers, for example, can be upgraded to an increase of 5 defense rating, which will allow you to keep up in cold environments with a large group of foes. The Snowquill Headdress, on the other is able to be upgraded to +20 defense to ensure you can survive a raid with friends.
It's important to note that armor cannot be upgraded the same way as weapons, so you'll have to focus on upgrading it to gain physical power if you're Warrior or Spell Power if you're a Mage. It is recommended to save your armor upgrades to upgrade the armor that you will still be wearing at the end of the story, for example 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 and you will be able to unlock some perks on your armor. You'll typically want to keep these upgrades to the weapon you'll use to beat the game. For instance, the Longsword or Battleaxe. However, it's beneficial to have some upgrades to the armor on your chest and helmets to allow you to sneak around some monsters.
Potions
Potions are bottled substances that, if consumed, provide the user with a temporary status effect. There are five types of potions, each with a specific set of effects and durations. Some potions can be upgraded, enhancing their effectiveness. In addition the effects of certain potions can be enhanced by adding glowstone dust or redstone to the potions.
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. However, the upgrade price will vary based on the type of potion you'd like to upgrade, as well as on the item's Mark Level and Rarity.
To upgrade a potion, right-click on it in your inventory and select the "Upgrade" option from the menu. This will open a GUI that allows you to select the potions that you wish to upgrade, and the amount of experience they'll offer when upgraded. Upgrades to potions can be made in batches of up to five at a time, and the XP they earn will be added to your current XP level.
When a poton is upgraded and stored, it will not degrade unless you use it again or break the bottle in the container it is stored. Clicking on the potion in your inventory will also allow you to change its name.
There were some changes to the mechanics of potion in version 1.7.2. For instance, splash potions now have a duration of 0.08 seconds (this is not the same as the 22.5 seconds that are displayed on the item hover display). The table for potion can now be crafted with four Wood Planks and two Glass. This allows it to be used by players in 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, it drains the potion and replenishes the bottle.
There are also simmering potions made using dragon breath and splash potions. Redstone can also be added to potions that are lingering to increase their effects. The table of potion ingredients is now organized more closely to the Java Edition, and new potions were added such as the potion of leaping and the decomposition potion, and turtle master potions.
Trinkets
A trinket could be a small, inexpensive ornament or piece of jewelry. It can also refer to an ornament or object that serves a function but isn't important as a thimble. In certain traditions, trinkets are used to symbolize affection or friendship, particularly between family members.
Players can upgrade trinkets in addition to weapons or armor, as well as potions. Upgrades can be obtained by paying the appropriate currency to an upgrade vendor. Trinkets like other items that can be upgraded can be swapped at will without losing stats.
The upgrade vendors are located in major cities and the capital of each zone, as well as in some instances in dungeons. Upgrades for trinkets are available with tokens, gold or fragments of rare trinkets.
Upgrades to trinkets are a cost-effective alternative to purchasing new ones. You can upgrade a trinket for just 12 tokens. The new trinket comes with the same base level as the old trinket but it also comes with an additional bonus of 1% upgrade.
Once item upgrader have become not usable, they can be upgraded. This allows a player to increase both their power and value over time. They can also be traded between players which makes them a popular alternative to gold.
In general, players should upgrade their most important items first. This usually refers to the most valuable-in-slot items for their class, then their secondaries and then other items of gear will not be replaced in the near future (for instance an earring or cloak). When choosing which items to upgrade, players must also take into account the class's preferred stats. For instance If Haste and Crit are the two most important stats for tankers, they should prioritize upgrading their helm, chest shoulders, belt, and helm.
Trinkets can be re-upgraded to a higher level once they're no longer needed, and the new trinket will have an additional upgrade bonus of 1. Re-upgrading will destroy the trinket unless it can be salvaged with the Black Lion Salvage Kit, or a salvage tool. Upgrades to trinkets are more expensive than other upgrades, but still cheaper than buying a new one.
