World of Warcraft - Item Upgrading
The upgrade of an item lets players boost the gear rating of an item up to 700 points and add a final bonus. Items can be upgraded by keeping them in inventory, and then taking them to the kiln.
Certain items are worth upgrading due to their distinctive stats. (For example the perfect broken point armor that is rolled can be used in melee PvP). Other items, like weapons don't really change after an upgrade, and aren't worth the effort.
Weapons
Weapons can be upgraded to increase their numeric stats, such as crit chance, attack damage as well as PvE and damage to PvP. Weapons have a flat-rate bonus that increases damage per second. Additionally, many weapons have a set bonus which is activated when three or more of the same weapon are present on a single unit. In some instances, this bonus could amount to more than the amount of damage that a weapon can sustain on its own.
The cost of upgrading a weapon is contingent on its rarity and level. For instance, a +2 weapon will require two regular Smithing Stones to upgrade while a +3 requires four. The number of stones needed to upgrade a gun will increase until it needs more Smithing Stones. At that point it will reset to one.
Upgrades to weapons also change the stats of their base. While this is generally an excellent thing however, it could have negative consequences as well. For items that are only used in a specific build (Whistant's shield for FB sorcs, for instance) upgrading them can render them useless unless you get a fortunate roll.
Items of armor can also be upgraded to boost their effectiveness. This will increase the defense of a helm or chest as well as belts and gloves. These can boost their strength and agility. Armor has a rerolling feature for its Enhanced Defense%. This means that it may reduce its value.
The upgrade template of a weapon will display the new stats that it will gain upon upgrading, as well as the values of these stats. 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. The 3% difference does not mean that the weapon will strike three times less, since it is an absolute number.
Rerolling a weapon is possible by pressing the green button in the item menu using the arrows that circle. The item will be rerolled and alter its stats but not reset the weapon's level or connect it to an account's status.
Armor
A few upgrades to your armor can make all the difference in your ability to survive. Certain sets can provide MASSIVE increases in resistance to curses, poison fire, magic, and other. This can make it easier to navigate difficult areas. Generally speaking, the more defense your character has the more value you get from every point of health you have, so it's important to upgrade your armor as often as you can.
To improve your armor, head to any of the Great Fairy Fountains in the game. There are four Great Fairy Fountains available in the game and to unlock each fountain, you must complete an additional quest involving the Stable Trotters. After you've completed your main quest, and the corresponding fountains, you can talk to any Great Fairy in order to unlock the menu for upgrading armor.
The amount of materials needed to upgrade each piece of armor will differ. You'll require anything between three Red Chuchu jelly and 10 Rupees to upgrade the first armor piece, and between five Rubies or 10 Fire-Breath Lizalfos Horns to upgrade each subsequent one. For instance, the Champion Leathers can be upgraded to +5 defense, which allows you to keep up with a decent-sized group of adversaries in most cold environments and the Snowquill Headdress can be upgraded all the way to +20 defense, giving you enough protection to withstand an entire raid with a few friends.
You can't upgrade armor like weapons. If you're playing as a Warrior, you should focus on upgrading your armor to increase physical strength or the power of spells. It's also a good idea to save your armor upgrades for the armor you'll be wearing at the end of the game, such as the Ring of Lightning and Spectral Shield, or the helmet you'll wear for the final boss fight, the Monter Parts Merchant's mask.
You can also get some benefits to your armor by presenting the jeweler in 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 to your chest armor and helmets that permit you to sneak past certain monsters.
Potions
Potions are bottled substances that, if consumed, provide the user with an effect on their status for a short period of time. There are five different types of potions, each having a specific set of effects and durations. Some potions can be upgraded, increasing their effectiveness. You can also increase the effects of certain potions by adding glowstone dust and redstone.
Potion upgrades cost a specific amount of XP. These can be earned by making them on a crafting table or in an chest of the Alchemist. The price of upgrades will vary based on the type of potion you want to upgrade, as well as on the item's Mark Level and Rarity.
To upgrade a potion to the next level, right-click on it in your inventory and select the "Upgrade" option from the menu. This will open a GUI where you can choose the potions you want to upgrade and the amount of XP they will produce when upgraded. You can upgrade potions in batches up to five at once, and their XP will be added to the total XP you currently have.
When a poton is upgraded, it will not degrade in the event that you take it out again or break the bottle within the container it is stored. You can also change the name of the potion by clicking on it in your inventory.
There were a few changes to the mechanics of potions in version 1.7.2. Splash potions, for instance, now have a duration that is 0:08 instead of 22.5 seconds displayed on the hover display for the item. The table for potion can now be crafted with four Wood Planks and two Glass. This allows it to be utilized by players playing Survival and Bedrock. Contrary to Java Edition, Bedrock edition potions are not able to be used in cauldrons. Also, putting a potion on a full cauldron, it drains the liquid and refills the bottle.
Finally, there are simmering potions that are made using splash and dragon breath potions. In the same way, a lingering potion' effect is extended by adding redstone. The table of potions is arranged more like the Java Edition, and new potions were added, such as potion of leaping, decomposition potion, as well as turtle master potions.
Trinkets
A trinket can be described as a small and cheap ornament or piece of jewelry. It may also refer to an object or ornament that serves a purpose, but is not particularly significant such as a thimble. In certain cultures, trinkets are used to symbolize affection or friendship, particularly between family members.
In addition to weapons, armor and potions, players are able to upgrade their trinkets. Upgrades can be obtained by paying the appropriate currency to an upgrade vendor. Unlike other item upgrades trinkets, trinkets can be traded out at any time without losing their stats.
Upgrade vendors can be found at the capitals of every zone, and in some instances in dungeons. Upgrades for trinkets are available with tokens, gold or fragments of rare trinkets.
Upgrades are a less expensive alternative to purchasing a new trinket. A player can upgrade a trinket for just 12 tokens. The new trinket comes with the same base level as the old trinket however, it will also come with an additional 1% bonus upgrade.
Once the old Trinkets have become not usable, they can be upgraded. This allows players to increase their power and value with time. They can be traded between players and are a viable alternative to gold.
In general, players should upgrade their highest priority items first. This typically means the top-of-the-line items for their class, then their secondary items and finally, other gear items that will not be replaced soon (for example, a ring or cloak). It is also important to consider your class's preferred stats when choosing which items to upgrade. If Haste and Crit are two of the most important stats to a tank player then they should consider upgrading their chest, helm, and shoulders.
Once they have become useless trinkets can be upgraded to a higher level. The upgraded trinket will give you an additional bonus of 1. However, a re-upgrade can cause the trinket to be destroyed in the event that it is not 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 buying a new one.
