World of Warcraft - Item Upgrading
Item upgrading allows players to increase the gear score of an item to 700 and also add a final perk. Items can be upgraded if they are in your inventory and you bring them to the kiln.
Certain items can be upgraded to benefit from their unique stats (like perfect made breakpoint armour that can be rolled to use in melee PvP) while other items, such as weapons do not change significantly after an upgrade, and therefore aren't worth upgrading.
Weapons
Weapons can be upgraded to increase their numeric stats like crit chance, attack damage as well as PvE and PvP damage. They also have a flat bonus that increases the damage they deal per second. Additionally there are many weapons with an added bonus that is activated when three or more of the same weapon are equipped on a unit. This bonus could be greater than the damage that a weapon upgrade alone can do.
The cost of upgrading a weapon is based on the rarity of the weapon and its current level. For instance an item with a rating of +2 will require two regular Smithing Stones to upgrade while an upgrade of +3 requires four. The number of stones required to upgrade the gun will increase until it needs more Smithing Stones. At that point it will reset to one.
The upgrade of weapons can also change their base stats. While item upgrades is usually an excellent thing however, it could have negative effects as well. In the case of items that only see use in a particular build (Whistant's shield for FB sorcs for instance) upgrading them could render them unusable unless you get a lucky roll.
Upgrades can be made to armor items to boost their stats. This can boost the defense of a chest or helm, while belts and gloves will boost their required strength and agility. Armor also offers the option of rerolling its Enhanced Defense%, meaning that it can sometimes reroll to a lower value.
The upgrade template for a weapon shows the new stats it will get when upgraded, along with their relative values. 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% doesn't mean that the weapon will hit 3 times less, as it is an absolute number.
Rerolling a weapon can be possible by pressing the green button within the item menu, using the arrows that circle. 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
A few upgrades to your armor can make a huge difference in your ability to survive. Certain sets can offer massive increases in resistance to curses, poison, fire, and magic. This can make it easier to traverse difficult areas. In general, the greater defense you have for your character, the more health you will gain from each point. Therefore, it is recommended to upgrade your armor.
To upgrade your armor, head to one of the Great Fairy Fountains in the game. There are four Great Fairy Fountains within the game and in order to unlock each fountain, you must complete a side quest that involves the Stable Trotters. Once you've completed the main quest and the corresponding fountains, you'll have the option of talking to any Great Fairy in order to unlock the armor upgrade menu.
The amount of material needed to upgrade each piece of armor is different. You'll need anywhere from three Red Chuchu jellies and 10 Rupees to upgrade the first armor piece, and anywhere between five Rubies or 10 Fire-Breath Horns to upgrade the next one. The Champion Leathers, as an example can be upgraded to an increase of 5 defense rating, which allows you to remain competitive in cold environments with a large number of foes. The Snowquill Headdress, on the other is able to be upgraded as high as +20 defense so that you're able to withstand a rout with your friends.
It's important to note that armor cannot be upgraded in the same way as weapons, so you'll want to concentrate on upgrading it for physical power if you're Warrior or Spell Power when you're Mage. It's also worth saving your armor upgrades for armor you'll be wearing at the end of the game, like the Ring of Lightning and Spectral Shield, or the helmet you wear for the final boss battle, the Monter Parts Merchant's mask.
By giving the jeweler 10 Twinkling Titanite in Gerudo Town and you will be able to gain some benefits to your armor. You'll generally want to save these upgrades for the weapon you'll be using to beat the game. For example the Longsword or Battleaxe. It's nevertheless beneficial to have some upgrades to the armor on your chest and helmets to allow you to get around a few monsters.
Potions
Potions are liquids that, when consumed by the participant, produce a temporary effect. There are five kinds of potions, each with particular effects and durations. Some potions may be upgraded, increasing their effectiveness. You can also enhance the effects of certain potions by adding redstone dust and glowstone dust.
Upgrades to your potion require a specific amount of XP. This can be earned through crafting them on a table or by placing them in the Alchemist chest. The price of upgrades varies based on the type of potion used and the item's rarity and Mark Level.
To upgrade item upgrader , click right on it in your inventory and select the "Upgrade" option from the menu. This will open a GUI in which you can select the potions you wish to upgrade and the amount of XP they will produce 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 have.
Once a potion has been upgraded, it won't degrade until you re-use it, or break the bottle it's stored in. You can also change the name of the potion by clicking it in your inventory.
There were some changes to potion mechanics in version 1.7.2. Splash potions for instance are now available with a time of 0:08 instead of the 22.5 seconds that are displayed on the hover display of the item. The potion table is now made of 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 are not able to be mixed in cauldrons. This is the same for using a potion within the cauldron that is filled. This will draw out the liquid, and then refill the bottle.
Finally, there are simmering potions made with dragon breath and splash potions. Similarly, a lingering potions' effect is extended by adding redstone. The table of potions has been rearranged to look more like the Java Edition. New potions are also added, such as the potion of leaping and decomposition.
Trinkets
A trinket can be a small, inexpensive ornament or piece of jewelry. It can also refer to an object or decoration that serves a function but isn't particularly significant such as a tiny thimble. In some cultures, trinkets are used to signify friendship or affection, especially between family members.
Players can upgrade trinkets as well as weapons and armor, as well as potions. They can be upgraded by going to an upgrade vendor and paying the appropriate amount in currency. Trinkets, unlike other items that can be upgraded can be traded at will without losing stats.
Upgrade vendors can be found at the capitals of each zone, and sometimes in dungeons. Upgrades for trinkets are offered with gold, tokens or fragments of rare trinkets.
Upgrades are a cost-effective alternative to buying a new trinket. One can upgrade their trinket for just 12 tokens. The new trinket will come with the same base ilvl as the previous one, and will come with an additional 1% upgrade bonus.
Trinkets can be upgraded once the old ones are not needed, allowing a player to boost their power and value over time. They can also be traded between players and are an attractive alternative to gold.
Players must upgrade their most valuable items first. This usually refers to the most valuable-in-slot items for their class, followed by their secondary items and finally, other gear items that will not be replaced soon (for example an earring or cloak). It is also important to consider your class's preferred stats when deciding which items to upgrade. For example when Haste and Crit are the two most important stats for tankers, they should prioritize upgrading their chest, helm shoulders, belt, and helm.
Trinkets are able to be upgraded to a higher ilvl after they are no longer useful, and the new trinket will have an additional upgrade bonus of 1. However, a re-upgrade is likely to cause the trinket to be destroyed in the event that it is not salvaged using a Black Lion Salvage Kit or an additional salvage tool of higher quality. Upgrades to trinkets are more expensive than other upgrades, but still cheaper than buying new ones.
