World of Warcraft - Item Upgrading
The item upgrade allows players to boost the gear rating of an item up 700 points, and then give it a bonus. Items can be upgraded by keeping them in inventory and heading to the kiln.
Certain items can be upp'd to benefit from their unique stats (like an ideally made breakpoint armour that can be rolled to use in melee PvP) while others like weapons do not change significantly after an upgrade and thus aren't worth upgrading.
Weapons
Weapons can be upgraded to improve their numeric stats like crit chance, attack damage, PvE and PvP damage. Weapons have 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 are equipped on a unit. In some cases this bonus could add up to more than the amount of damage a weapon is able to upgrade on its own.
The cost of upgrading a weapon is contingent on its rarity as well as its current level. For instance, a +2 weapon requires two regular Smithing Stones while a+3 requires four. The number of stones required to upgrade a weapon will increase until it requires more Smithing Stones. At that point, it will reset back to one.
Upgraded weapons can also alter their base stats. This is usually a good factor, but it could also have negative effects. For items that are only used in a certain build (Whistant's shield for FB sorcs, for instance), upgrading them may make them unusable unless you happen to have an extremely lucky roll.
Armor items can be upgraded to improve their effectiveness. For example, if you upgrade chests or helms it will boost its base defense while a belt and gloves will increase their strength and dexterity. Armor offers a rerolling option for its Enhanced Defense%. This means that it can sometimes roll down to a lower value.
The upgrade template of a weapon will display the new stats that it will gain after upgrading, along with the relative value of those stats. This means that a weapon will gain 3% attack damage 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 be hit three times less, since it is an absolute number.
Rerolling a weapon is possible by pressing the green button within the item menu with the arrows that circle. This will reroll an item and alter its stats but it will not reset the weapon's levels or tie it to the account status.
Armor
A few tweaks to your armor could make a an enormous difference in your capacity to withstand. Certain sets offer massive increases in resistance to curses, poison and fire as well as magic. This can make it easier to navigate difficult areas. In general, the more defense you have for your character, the more health you'll get from each point. Therefore, it is recommended to upgrade your armor.
To improve your armor, head to one of the Great Fairy Fountains in the game. There are four of them each of which requires you to complete a specific side-quest involving the Stable Trotters musical troupe. Once you've done the main side quest and completed the fountain in question you'll be able to talk to any Great Fairy to open up the menu for upgrading your armor.
The amount of material needed to upgrade each piece of armor will vary. In general, you'll need at anything from three to five Red Chuchu Jellies and 10 Rupees for the first upgrade, and anywhere between five Rubies and ten Fire-Breath Lizalfos Horns for each subsequent one. For instance the Champion Leathers can be upgraded to +5 defense, which allows you to keep pace with a large group of enemies in most cold climates, and the Snowquill Headdress can be upgraded up to +20 defense, providing you enough protection to survive the full-on assault with a few friends.
You can't upgrade your armor like weapons. If you're playing as a Warrior then you should concentrate on upgrading your armor for physical strength or the power of spells. It is also recommended to save your armor upgrades to upgrade the armor you'll still wear by the end of the story, such as the Ring of Lightning, Spectral Shield or the mask you 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. Generally speaking, you'll want to keep these upgrades for the weapon you'll be using to beat the game, such as the Longsword, Battleaxe or Warhammer, but it can be useful to have a few improvements to the helmets and chest armor that allow you to stealth around some monsters.
Potions
Potions are liquids that when consumed by the participant, produce a temporary effect for a short period of time. There are five kinds of potions, each having particular effects and durations. Certain potions can be upgraded, enhancing the effectiveness of their effects. Additionally the effects of certain potions can be enhanced by adding redstone or glowstone dust to the potions.
Potion upgrades cost a specific amount of XP, which can be earned by crafting them on a table or the Alchemist's chest. The price of upgrades varies based on the type of potion as well as the item's rarity and Mark Level.
To upgrade a potions simply right-click on it in your inventory. Select "Upgrade" from the menu. This will open an GUI that allows you to choose the potion that you wish 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 amount of XP you have.
Once a poton is upgraded, it will not degrade unless you take it out again or break the bottle in which it is stored. Clicking on the potion in your inventory will allow you to change the name of the potion.
There were some changes to potion mechanics in version 1.7.2. For instance, splash potions now have an average duration of 0.08 seconds (this is not the same as the 22.5 seconds displayed 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 utilized in both Survival and Bedrock. Unlike the Java Edition, Bedrock edition potions can't be mixed in cauldrons. Additionally, using a potentio on a full cauldron drains the liquid and replenishes the bottle.
In addition, there are lingering potions that are brewed with dragon breath and splash potions. In the same way, a lingering potion can be enhanced by adding redstone to it. 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, and turtle master potions.
Trinkets
A trinket is a tiny and affordable ornament or piece of jewelry. It can be a reference to an object or ornament that serves a function but isn't particularly significant, such as a trinket. In certain cultures, a trinket is a way to express friendship or affection between family members.
Players can upgrade trinkets in addition to weapons and armor, as well as potions. They can be upgraded by going to an upgrade vendor and paying the appropriate amount in currency. As with other upgrades to items trinkets are able to be exchanged at will without losing their status.
Upgrade vendors are located at the capitals of each zone, and sometimes in dungeons. Upgrades for trinkets can be purchased with tokens, gold, or fragments from trinkets that are rare.
Upgrades are a cost-effective alternative to purchasing a new trinket. It is possible to upgrade the player for just 12 tokens. The new trinket will have the same base ilvl as previous one, and will include an additional 1% upgrade bonus.
Trinkets can be upgraded once they are not needed and allows players to increase their power and value over time. They can be traded between players which makes them a good alternative to gold.
Players should upgrade their most essential items first. This means that the best-in slot items for each class are first upgraded, followed by their secondary gear, and then other equipment that they won't replace anytime soon (such as an earring or a cloak). Players should also take into consideration their class's preferred stats when selecting the 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.
After item upgrading become unusable trinkets are able to be upgraded to a higher level. The new trinket comes with an additional bonus of 1. However, a re-upgrade is likely to cause the trinket to be destroyed in the event that it is not salvaged with the Black Lion Salvage Kit or an alternative salvage tool that is higher-end. This means upgrading trinkets is more expensive than other upgrades, however it is still cheaper than buying an entirely new trinket.
