Are You Getting The Most From Your Item Upgrading?

World of Warcraft - Item Upgrading

The upgrade of an item allows players to increase the gear score of an item upgrades up to 700 and add a final perk. Items can be upgraded by keeping them in inventory, and then taking them to the kiln.

Certain items are worth upgrading because of their distinctive stats. (For instance an excellently broken point armor that is rolled can be used in melee PvP). Other items like weapons don't really change after an upgrade and therefore aren't worth the cost.

Weapons

Weapons can be upgraded to boost their numeric stats like the chance to crit, attack damage, PvE and PvP damage. Weapons come with a flat-rate bonus that increases damage per second. In addition there are many weapons with a set bonus that activates when three or more of the same weapon is present on a single unit. In some cases this bonus can add up to more than the amount of damage a weapon can sustain by itself.

The cost of upgrading a weapon depends on its rarity as well as its current level. For instance an item with a rating of +2 will require two regular Smithing Stones to upgrade while the +3 model 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 the amount will be reset to one.

The upgrade of weapons can also change their base stats. While this is generally beneficial, it can have some negative consequences too. Upgrades can render items inaccessible, unless you're exceptionally lucky.

Armor items can be upgraded to boost their effectiveness. This can increase the defense of a chest or helm, while belts and gloves can boost their strength and agility. Armor also offers a reroll option for its Enhanced Defense percentage, which means that it may reroll to a lower value.

The upgrade template of a weapon will show the new stats that it will gain after upgrading, as well as the relative value 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% doesn't mean that the weapon will hit 3 times less, as it is an absolute number.

A weapon can also be rerolled using the green button that has circling arrows in the menu for items. This will roll the item upgrade and alter its stats, however, it will not reset the weapon's level nor connect to the status of your account.

Armor

Adding a few upgrades to your armor could make a huge differences in your ability to survive. Certain sets provide massive boosts to poison or curse, fire, and magic resistance, making traversing tough areas a breeze. In general, the greater defense your character has, the more value you will get from each point of health you have and it's crucial to improve your armor as often as you can.

You can upgrade your armor by visiting one of the Great Fairy Fountains. There are four Great Fairy Fountains within the game and to unlock each fountain, you must complete a side quest that involves the Stable Trotters. After you've completed the main side quest and completed the fountain in question and then you can talk to any Great Fairy to open up the menu for upgrading your armor.

Each piece of armor can be upgraded to three levels, and the amount of materials and Rupees required for each will vary. It is possible to use anything from three Red Chuchu jellies and 10 Rupees to upgrade your first armor piece, and anywhere between five Rubies or ten Fire-Breath Lizalfos Horns to upgrade the next one. The Champion Leathers, for instance, can be upgraded to a 5 defense rating, which will allow you to stay ahead in cold environments with a large group of foes. The Snowquill Headdress, on the other side, can be upgraded as high as +20 defense to ensure you're able to survive a battle with friends.

It's important to note that armor cannot be upgraded the same way as weapons, so you'll have to concentrate on upgrading it for physical power if you're a Warrior or Spell Power when you're a Mage. It's also a good idea to save your armor upgrades for armor you'll wear at the end of the game, like the Ring of Lightning and Spectral Shield or the helmet you wear for the final boss fight and the Monter Parts Merchant's mask.

By giving the jeweler 10 Twinkling Titanite in Gerudo Town in Gerudo Town, you can gain some benefits to your armor. You'll generally want to save these upgrades for the weapon you'll use to win the game. For instance, the Longsword or Battleaxe. However, it's beneficial to have some upgrades for the helmets and chest armor to let you get around a few monsters.

Potions

Potions are liquid substances that, if consumed, provide the user with a temporary status effect. There are five kinds of potions, each having particular effects and durations. Some potions can be upgraded, increasing their level of effect. Alternatively the effects of certain potions can be enhanced by adding redstone or glowstone dust them.

Upgrades to potion cost a certain amount of XP, which can be earned by crafting them using a craft table or in the Alchemist's chest. However, the cost of upgrading changes depending on what type of potion you want to upgrade, as well as on the item's Mark Level as well as its rarity.

To upgrade a potion to the next level, right-click on it in your inventory and choose the "Upgrade" option from the menu. This will open an GUI which allows you to choose the potion that you would like to upgrade and the amount of experience they'll offer when upgraded. You can upgrade potions in batches up to five at a time, and their XP will be added to the total XP you currently 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 allow you to rename it.

Version 1.7.2 introduced a few changes to the mechanism of potions. For example the splash potions now have a duration of 0.08 seconds (this is not the equivalent of 22.5 seconds shown on the hover display of the item). The potion table is constructed from four Wood Planks, and two Glass. It is now able to be used in both Survival and Bedrock. Bedrock Edition potions are not compatible with cauldrons, unlike Java Edition. Similarly, using a potion on a full cauldron, it drains the contents and refills the bottle.

Finally, there are lingering potions, which are made with splash and dragon breath potions. Redstone is also added to potions that are lingering to increase their effects. The potion table is now laid out more in line with the Java Edition, and new potions were added, such as the potion of leaping and the decomposition potion, as well as turtle master potions.

Trinkets

A trinket is a small and inexpensive ornament or piece of jewelry. It may also refer to an object or ornament that serves a purpose but isn't particularly significant like a thimble. In some cultures, a trinket is a way to show affection or friendship between family members.

In addition to armor, weapons, and potions, players can upgrade their trinkets. They can be upgraded by going to an upgrade vendor and paying the appropriate amount in currency. Unlike other item upgrades trinkets are able to be traded out at any time without losing their status.

The upgrade vendors can be found in major cities and in the capital of each zone, as well as in some instances in dungeons. Upgrades for trinkets are available using tokens, gold or fragments of a rare trinket.

Upgrades to trinkets are an economical alternative to buying an entirely new one. You can upgrade a trinket for as little 12 tokens. The new trinket will come with the same base ilvl as the previous one, and will include an additional upgrade bonus of 1.

Trinkets can be upgraded when they're not needed, allowing a player to increase their power and value over time. They can be traded between players, making them an alternative to gold.

In general players should make upgrades to their most important items first. This means that the most-important slot items for each class are first upgraded then their secondary gear and other pieces of equipment they won't replace in the near future (such as a ring or an cloak). Players should also consider their class's preferred stats when choosing the items to upgrade items. For instance If Haste and Crit are the two most important stats for tankers, they should be focusing on upgrading their helm, chest shoulders, belt, and helm.

After they've become unusable trinkets can be upgraded to a greater level. The new trinket has an additional bonus of 1. However, a re-upgrade can destroy the old trinket, unless it is salvaged using the Black Lion Salvage Kit or an alternative salvage tool that is higher-end. Upgrades to trinkets are more expensive than other upgrades, but still less expensive than buying a new one.
