World of Warcraft - Item Upgrading
The upgrade option lets players boost an item's gear rating up 700 points, and then add a final bonus. Items can be upgraded by keeping them in inventory before heading to the kiln.
Certain items are worth upgrading due to their distinctive stats. (For instance, a perfectly broken point armor that is rolled can be used in melee PvP). Other items, like weapons don't change much after an upgrade and therefore aren't worth the effort.
Weapons
Upgrades to weapons can increase their numerical stats, including attack damage, crit chance, and PvE/PvP damage. 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 equipped in a unit. This bonus may exceed the damage a weapon upgrade can do on its own.
A weapon's upgrade costs depend on the nature of the weapon as well as its current level. For example an item with a rating of +2 will require two regular Smithing Stones to upgrade while a +3 requires four. The number of stones required to upgrade the weapon will continue to increase until it is required to use an upgrade to a higher level of Smithing Stones, at which point it will reset to one.
The upgrade of weapons can also change their base stats. This is usually a good aspect, but it may also have negative consequences. In the case of items that are only used in a particular build (Whistant's shield for FB sorcs for instance) upgrading them can render them useless unless you get a lucky roll.
Upgrades can be made to armor items to improve their performance. In the case of chests or helms it will boost its defense base while a belt and gloves will enhance their required strength and dexterity. Armor also offers the option of rerolling its Enhanced Defense percentage, which means that it may reroll to a lower value.
The upgrade template for a weapon will display the new stats that it will gain when upgraded in addition to their respective values. This means that the weapon will gain 33% attack damage when 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 strike 3 times less, as it is an absolute number.
A weapon can also be rerolled using the green button, which is accompanied by circular arrows within the item menu. The item will be rerolled and alter its stats however, it will not reset the weapon's levels or tie it to the account status.
Armor
Making a few improvements to your armor can make a huge differences in your capacity to withstand. Certain sets offer massive increases in poison or curse, fire, and magic resistance, which makes it easier to navigate through tough terrain. In general, the greater defense your character has the more value you can get from each point of health therefore it is important to improve 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 fountains in all, and each requires you to complete a unique side quest that involves the Stable Trotters musical troupe. After you've completed your main quest and the associated fountains, you can talk to any Great Fairy in order to unlock the armor upgrade menu.
Each piece of armor can be upgraded up to three levels, and the amount of material and Rupees needed for each level will differ. In general, you're looking at anywhere between three Red Chuchu Jellies and ten Rupees for the initial upgrade, and anywhere between five Rubies and ten Fire-Breath Lizalfos Horns for each subsequent upgrade. The Champion Leathers, for example can be upgraded to an increase of 5 defense rating, which allows you to stay ahead in cold environments with a large group of foes. The Snowquill Headdress, on the other is able to be upgraded as high as +20 defense to ensure you're able to survive a battle with friends.
Note that armor can't be upgraded in the same way as weapons, so you'll have to concentrate on enhancing it to increase physical strength if you're a Warrior or Spell Power when you're Mage. It is also recommended to save your armor upgrades to upgrade the armor that you'll still be wearing by 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 in Gerudo Town, you can unlock some perks on your armor. You'll typically want to keep these upgrades for the weapon you'll use to beat the game. For example, the Longsword or Battleaxe. It's nevertheless beneficial to have some upgrades to the chest armor and helmets so that you can sneak around some monsters.
Potions
Potions are substances in bottles that, when consumed, provide the user with an effect on their status for a short period of time. There are five kinds of potions, each with different effects and durations. Certain potions can be upgraded, enhancing the effectiveness of their effects. You can also increase the effects of certain potions by including glowstone dust and redstone.
Upgrades to your potion require a specific amount XP. This can be obtained through crafting 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 potions, right-click it in your inventory. Then, select "Upgrade" from the menu. This will open an GUI where you can choose the potions you want to upgrade and the amount of XP they'll give you when upgraded. You can upgrade potions in batches of up to five at a time, and their XP will be added to the total XP you currently have.
Once a poton is upgraded in quality, it will not deteriorate in the event that you make use of it again or break the bottle in which it is stored. Clicking on the potion in your inventory will also allow you to change the name of the potion.
item upgrades introduced a few changes to the mechanism of potions. For example the splash potions now have a duration of zero,08 seconds (this is not the same as the 22.5 seconds that are displayed on the item hover display). The table of potion now made of four Wood Planks, and two Glass. This allows it to be utilized by players in Survival and Bedrock. Unlike the Java Edition, Bedrock edition potions cannot be combined in cauldrons. The same applies to using a potion in the cauldron that is filled. This will deplete the potion and refill the bottle.
In addition, there are simmering potions made with dragon breath and splash potions. Similar to lingering potions, the' effect is extended by adding redstone to it. 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 potion of decomposition, and turtle master potions.
Trinkets
A trinket can be described as a small and inexpensive ornament or piece of jewelry. It may also refer to a piece of art or a decoration that serves a purpose but isn't particularly significant like a tiny thimble. In some cultures, trinkets are used to symbolize affection or friendship, particularly between family members.
Trinkets can be upgraded by players in addition to weapons or armor, as well as potions. Upgrades can be made by paying the appropriate currency to an upgrade vendor. Trinkets like other items that can be upgraded can be traded at will without losing stats.
The upgrade vendors can be found in major cities and in the capital of each zone, and in some instances in dungeons. Upgrades for trinkets are purchased with gold, tokens or fragments of a rare trinket.
Upgrading a trinket is an economical alternative to buying new ones. You can upgrade a trinket for just 12 tokens. The new trinket will come with the same base ilvl as older one, and come with an additional 1% upgrade bonus.
Trinkets can be upgraded once they're not needed, allowing a player to boost their power and value over time. They can be traded between players and are a viable alternative to gold.
Players should upgrade their most essential items first. This usually refers to the most valuable-in-slot items for their class, then their secondaries, and finally other pieces of gear that they will not be replacing in the near future (for example, a ring or cloak). When choosing which items to upgrade, players must also be aware of the class's preferred stats. For instance when Haste and Crit are the two most important stats for a tank, they should be focusing on upgrading their helm, chest shoulders, belt, and helm.
When they are no longer useful, trinkets can be upgraded to a higher level. The upgraded trinket will give you an additional bonus of 1. However, a re-upgrade will destroy the old trinket until it is salvaged with the Black Lion Salvage Kit or an additional salvage tool of higher quality. Upgrades to trinkets can be more expensive than other upgrades, but still less expensive than purchasing an entirely new trinket.
