World of Warcraft - item level upgrade Upgrading

The upgrade option lets players increase an item's gear rating up 700 points, and then add a final bonus. 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 a perfectly broken point armour that is rolled for melee PvP) and others, like weapons, do not vary greatly post upgrade, and therefore aren't worth upgrading.

Weapons

Weapons can be upgraded to improve their numeric stats such as the chance to crit, attack damage as well as PvE and PvP damage. Weapons also have a flat bonus which increases their damage per second. In addition, many weapons have a set bonus that activates when three or more of the same weapon is present on a unit. This bonus may be greater than the damage that a weapon upgrade alone can do.

The cost of upgrading a weapon depends on its rarity and level. For instance an item level upgrade with a rating of +2 will require two regular Smithing Stones to upgrade while an upgrade of +3 requires four. The number of stones needed to upgrade a weapon will continue to increase until it requires an upgrade to a higher level of Smithing Stones, at which point it will reset to one.

Upgrades to weapons can also alter the stats of the base. This is generally a positive factor, but it could also have negative consequences. Upgrades can make things unusable, unless you are extremely lucky.

It is possible to upgrade armor items to improve their performance. For instance, if you have a helm or chest, this will increase its base defense while gloves and belts will improve their required strength and dexterity. Armor has a rerolling feature for its Enhanced Defense%. This means that it is able to reduce its value.

The upgrade template of a weapon will show the new stats that it will gain upon upgrading, as well as the relative values of those stats. This means that a weapon will gain 33% attack damage when 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 hit three times less, since it is an absolute number.

A weapon can also be rerolled by pressing the green button that has circular arrows within the item menu. This will reroll the item and change its stats, but it won't reset the weapon's level nor tie it to the account status.

Armor

A few armor upgrades can make a huge difference to your survival. Certain sets provide massive boosts to poison or curse, fire, and magic resistance, making traversing tough areas a breeze. Generally speaking, the more defense your character is, the more value you get from each point of health you possess, so it's important 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 in the game, and to unlock them all, you have to complete a side quest that involves the Stable Trotters. After you've completed the main side quest and completed the fountain in question you'll be able to contact any Great Fairy to open up the armor upgrade menu.

The amount of materials needed to upgrade each piece of armor will vary. In general, you'll be looking at anywhere between three Red Chuchu Jellies and 10 Rupees for the initial 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 a 5 defense rating, which will allow you to remain competitive in cold environments with a large group of enemies. The Snowquill Headdress, on the other hand, can be upgraded as high as +20 defense to ensure you can survive a raid with your friends.

You can't upgrade your armor in the same way as weapons. If you're playing as a Warrior, you should focus on upgrading your armor for physical power or spell power. You should also save your armor upgrades to upgrade the armor you'll still wear by the end of the story, for example the Ring of Lightning, Spectral Shield or the mask you use in the final boss fight, the Monter Parts Merchant Mask.

You can also unlock some perks for your armor by presenting the jeweler in Gerudo Town 10 Twinkling Titanite. In general, you should keep these upgrades for the weapon you'll use to win the game like the Longsword, Battleaxe or Warhammer However, it is useful to have some upgrades of the chest armor and helmets that permit you to sneak past some monsters.

Potions

Potions are liquids that, when consumed by the player, provide the player with a temporary effect. There are five kinds of potions, each with different effects and durations. Some potions can be upgraded, enhancing the effectiveness of their effects. You can also increase the effects of certain potions by adding redstone dust and glowstone dust.

Upgrades to potion cost a certain amount of XP. These can be earned by crafting them on a crafting table or in an chest of the Alchemist. The upgrade price varies depending on the type of potion as well as the item's rarity and Mark Level.

To upgrade a potions, right-click it in your inventory. Then select "Upgrade" from the menu. This will open a GUI that allows you to choose the potion that you want to upgrade and the amount of experience they'll offer when upgraded. Upgrading potions can be done in batches of up to five at a time, and the XP that they generate will be added to your current XP level.

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 a few changes to the mechanics of potions in version 1.7.2. Splash potions for instance are now available with a time of 0:08 instead of the 22.5 seconds displayed on the hover display of the item level upgrade. The table of potion now made of four Wood Planks, and two Glass. It can now be used in both Survival and Bedrock. Contrary to Java Edition, Bedrock edition potions cannot be used in cauldrons. Additionally, using a potentio in a cauldron that is full drains the contents and replenishes the bottle.

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

Trinkets

A trinket is a small and inexpensive ornament or piece of jewelry. It can also refer to an ornament or object that serves a function but isn't essential such as a thimble. In certain cultures, a trinket can be used to show affection or friendship between family members.

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

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

Upgrades are a less expensive alternative to purchasing a new trinket. One can upgrade their trinket for as little as 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 re-upgraded once they are no longer needed and allows players to increase their power and value over time. They can also be traded between players and are a popular alternative to gold.

Players should upgrade their most essential items first. This usually refers to the most valuable-in-slot items for their class, then their secondaries and then other items of gear they will not be replacing soon (for example rings or cloaks). When deciding on the items to upgrade, players should also consider the preferred statistics of their class. For example when Haste and Crit are the two most important stats for tankers it is recommended that they upgrade their helm, chest shoulders, belt, and chest.

Once they have become useless, trinkets can be upgraded to a higher level. The new trinket comes with an additional bonus of 1. However, a re-upgrade can ruin the previous trinket in the event that it is not salvaged with a Black Lion Salvage Kit or an additional salvage tool of higher quality. This makes upgrading trinkets more expensive than other upgrades, but is still less expensive than buying an entirely new trinket.
