World of Warcraft - Item Upgrading

The item upgrade lets players increase the gear rating of an item by up 700 points and also add a bonus. Items can be upgraded if they're in your inventory and you decide to take them to the Kiln.

Certain items can be upgraded to benefit from their unique stats (like perfect rolled breakpoint armour used in melee PvP) while others like weapons do not change significantly after an upgrade, and therefore aren't worth upgrading.

Weapons

Upgrades to weapons can boost their numerical stats, such as attack damage, crit chance, and PvE/PvP damage. Weapons come with a flat rate bonus that increases damage per second. Additionally, many weapons have an added bonus that is activated when three or more of the same weapon are equipped on a unit. This bonus could be more than the damage that a weapon upgrade alone can cause.

A weapon's upgrade costs depend on the rarity of the weapon and its current level. For example, a +2 weapon will require two regular Smithing Stones to upgrade while a +3 requires four. The number of stones needed to upgrade a weapon will continue increase until it is required to use an upgrade to a higher level of Smithing Stones, at which the number will be reset to one.

Upgrades to weapons can also reroll the stats of the base. While this is generally beneficial however, it could have negative effects as well. Upgrades can render items inaccessible, unless you're extremely lucky.

It is possible to upgrade armor items to increase their performance. In the case of chests or helms it will boost the defense of its base, while a belt and gloves will increase their strength and dexterity. Armor offers a rerolling option for its Enhanced Defense percent. This means that it can sometimes roll down to a lower value.

The upgrade template for a weapon will display the new stats it will get when upgraded in addition to their respective values. This means that an upgrade from a sword that has 8 damage to an 11 attack-damage sword will result in a weapon gaining 3% of attack damage. The 3% doesn't mean that the weapon will hit three times less, since it is an absolute number.

A weapon can also be rerolled by pressing the green button with arrows that circle in the item menu. The item upgrade will be rerolled and alter its stats, but it won't reset the weapon's levels or bind to account status.

Armor

A few upgrades to your armor can make a huge difference to your survivability. Certain sets can offer massive improvements in the resistance to poison, curses, fire, and magic. This can make it easier to traverse difficult terrains. In general, the more defense you have for your character, the more health you'll get from each point. So, it's best to upgrade your armor.

You can upgrade your armor by visiting any of the Great Fairy Fountains. There are four Great Fairy Fountains available in the game and to unlock each one you must complete a side quest that involves the Stable Trotters. After you've completed your main quest, and the corresponding fountains, you'll be able to 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 required to complete each level will differ. In general, you're looking at anything from three to five Red Chuchu Jellies and 10 Rupees for the first upgrade, then anywhere between five Rubies and 10 Fire-Breath Lizalfos Horns for each subsequent upgrade. The Champion Leathers, for instance can be upgraded to an increase of 5 defense rating, which allows you to keep up in cold environments with a large group of enemies. The Snowquill Headdress, on the other side, can be upgraded as high as +20 defense, which means you're able to withstand a rout with your friends.

Note that armor can't be upgraded in the same way as weapons, so you'll need to concentrate on upgrading it for physical power if you're a Warrior or Spell Power in the case of a Mage. It's also worthwhile to save your armor upgrades for armor you'll still be wearing at the end of the game, like the Ring of Lightning and Spectral Shield or the helmet you'll wear to fight the final boss and the Monter Parts Merchant's mask.

You can also gain benefits to your armor by presenting the jeweler in Gerudo Town 10 Twinkling Titanite. Generally, you'll want to save these upgrades for the weapon you'll be using to beat the game, such as the Longsword, Battleaxe or Warhammer However, it is useful to have some upgrades to your helmets and chest armor that let you stealthy battle certain monsters.

Potions

Potions are liquid substances that, if consumed, give the player a temporary status effect. There are five types of potions, each having specific effects and durations. Certain potions can be upgraded to improve their effectiveness. Alternatively, the effects of some potions can be enhanced by adding redstone or glowstone dust to them.

Potion upgrades require a certain amount of XP. This can be obtained through crafting them on a craft table or by storing them in the Alchemist chest. However, the upgrade price will vary based on the kind of potion you wish to upgrade, and also on the item's Mark Level as well as its rarity.

To upgrade a potion, right-click on it in your inventory and select the "Upgrade" option from the menu. This opens a GUI where you can select the potion you want to upgrade and the amount of XP they'll yield when upgraded. Upgrades to potions can be made in batches of up to five at a single time, and the XP that they generate will be added to your current XP count.

Once a potion has been upgraded, it will not be degraded until you use it again, or break the bottle it is stored in. You can also change the name of the potion by clicking on it in your inventory.

There were some changes to the mechanics of potions in version 1.7.2. For example the splash potions now have the duration of 0.08 seconds (this is not the same as 22.5 seconds displayed on the hover display for the item upgrader mod). The table for potion is now made of four Wood Planks, and two Glass. This allows it to be utilized by players in Survival and Bedrock. Bedrock Edition potions are not compatible with cauldrons like Java Edition. Similarly, using a potion on a full cauldron, it drains the contents and refills the bottle.

In addition, there are lingering potions that are brewed with splash and dragon breath potions. Redstone is also added to lingering potions to enhance their effect. The table of potions is arranged more like the Java Edition, and new potions were added such as the potion of leaping, the potion of decomposition, and turtle master potions.

Trinkets

A trinket is a small, inexpensive ornament or piece of jewelry. It could also refer to a small ornament or object that serves a function but isn't important, like a Thimble. In some cultures, a trinket is used to show affection or friendship between family members.

Trinkets can be upgraded by players as well as weapons, armor, and potions. Upgrades can be made by paying the appropriate currency to an upgrade vendor. Unlike other item upgrades trinkets are able to be traded out at any time without losing their status.

Upgrade vendors can be found at the capitals of each zone, and sometimes in dungeons. Upgrades for trinkets can be bought with tokens, gold or fragments of rare trinkets.

The upgrade of a trinket can be an affordable alternative to buying new ones. A player can upgrade their trinket for as little as 12 tokens. The new trinket will feature the same base ilvl of the old one, and will include an additional upgrade bonus of 1.

Trinkets can be upgraded when they are no longer needed which allows a player to increase their power and worth over time. They can also be traded between players and are an extremely popular alternative to gold.

Players should upgrade their most important items first. This means that the top-in slot items for each class are upgraded first, followed by their secondary gear and finally other equipment that they won't replace in the near future (such as an earring or a cloak). Players should also consider their class's preferred stats when choosing which items to upgrade. For example when Haste and Crit are the two most important stats for tanks, they should prioritize upgrading their chest, helm, shoulders, and belt.

After they've become unusable, trinkets can be upgraded to a higher level. The new trinket comes with an additional 1percent bonus. However, a re-upgrade can cause the trinket to be destroyed until it is saved using a Black Lion Salvage Kit or a higher-tier salvage tool. This makes upgrading trinkets more expensive than other upgrades, yet is still less expensive than buying a new one.
