9 Signs That Youre The Item Upgrading Expert
World of Warcraft - Item Upgrading
The upgrade of an item allows players to increase the gear score of an item to 700 and also add a final perk. Items can be upgraded by having them in inventory before heading to the kiln.
Certain items can be upp'd to increase their 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, so they aren't worth upgrading.
Weapons
Upgrades to weapons can boost their numerical stats, including attack damage, crit chance, and PvE/PvP damage. Weapons also have a flat bonus that increases the damage they deal per second. In addition, many weapons have a set bonus which is activated when three or more of the same weapon are present on a single unit. In some cases this bonus could amount to more than the amount of damage a weapon upgrades by itself.
The cost of upgrading a weapon's capabilities is contingent on the rarity of the weapon and its current level. For instance, a +2 weapon will require two regular Smithing Stones while a+3 requires four. The number of stones required to upgrade a gun will increase until it needs a higher level of Smithing Stones. At item upgrader will reset to one.
The upgrade of weapons can also change their base stats. While this is generally a good thing, it can have some negative consequences too. In the case of items that only see use in a specific build (Whistant's shield for FB sorcs, for instance) upgrading them could make them unusable unless you get a lucky roll.
It is possible to upgrade armor items to increase their effectiveness. This will increase the defense of a chest or helm as well as belts and gloves. These will increase their required strength and agility. Armor also offers the option of rerolling its Enhanced Defense percent, which means that it may roll back to a lower number.
The upgrade template of a weapon will display the new stats that it will gain when upgrading, as well as the relative values of those stats. 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. However the 3% difference doesn't mean that it will be hit 3 times less often, 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. The item will be rerolled and change its statistics, but not reset the weapon's levels or connect it to an account's status.
Armor
Making a few improvements to your armor can make a an enormous difference in your ability to survive. Certain sets provide massive increases in poison or curse, fire or magic resistance, which makes it easier to navigate through tough terrain. In general, the greater defense you have for your character, the more health you can receive from each point. Therefore, it is recommended to upgrade your armor.
To upgrade your armor, head to any of the Great Fairy Fountains in the game. There are four Great Fairy Fountains available in the game and in order to unlock them all, you must complete a side quest that involves the Stable Trotters. Once you've completed the primary side quest and have completed the fountain in question, you can then talk to any Great Fairy to open up the armor upgrade menu.
Each piece of armor can be upgraded to three levels, and the amount of material and Rupees needed for each level will differ. It is possible to use anything from three Red Chuchu jelly and 10 Rupees to upgrade the initial armor piece, and between five Rubies or 10 Fire-Breath Horns to upgrade the next one. For example the Champion Leathers can be upgraded to +5 defense, allowing you to keep pace with a large group of adversaries in most cold climates and the Snowquill Headdress can be upgraded all the way to +20 defense, granting you enough protection to survive an entire raid with a few of your friends.
It isn't possible to upgrade armor in the same way as weapons. If you're playing as a Warrior, you should focus on upgrading your armor to increase physical strength or the power of spells. It is also recommended to save your armor upgrades to upgrade the armor you'll still be wearing by the end of the story, such as the Ring of Lightning, Spectral Shield or the mask you'll wear in the final boss fight The Monter Parts Merchant Mask.
By giving the jeweler 10 Twinkling Titanite in Gerudo Town, you can unlock perks for your armor. In general, you should save these upgrades for the weapon you'll be using to win the game like the Longsword, Battleaxe or Warhammer however, it could be useful to have a few upgrades of the chest armor and helmets to allow you to stealth around some monsters.
Potions
Potions are bottled substances that, when consumed, provide the user with a temporary status effect. There are five kinds of potions, each with particular effects and durations. Some potions can be upgraded to increase their effectiveness. You can also enhance the effects of certain potions by adding glowstone dust and redstone.
Potion upgrades cost a certain amount of XP. These can be earned by crafting them using a craft table or in an chest of the Alchemist. However, the upgrade price is dependent on the type of potion you want to upgrade, as well as on the item's Mark Level and rarity.
To upgrade a potion, right-click on it in your inventory and select the "Upgrade" option from the menu. This will open a GUI which allows you to select the potion you wish to upgrade, and the amount of experience they will offer when upgraded. The upgrade of potions can be completed in batches of up to five at a time and the XP they provide will be added to your current XP total.
Once a poton is upgraded, it will not degrade until you make use of it again or break the bottle within the container it is kept. Clicking on the potion in your inventory will allow you to change the name of the potion.
There were a few updates to the mechanics of potions in version 1.7.2. Splash potions, for instance, now have a duration zero, not the 22.5 seconds shown on the hover display for the item. The potion table is now crafted from four Wood Planks, and two Glass. This allows it to be used by players in Survival and Bedrock. Bedrock Edition potions aren't compatible with cauldrons, unlike Java Edition. This is the same for using a potion in a cauldron that is full. This will deplete the liquid, and then refill the bottle.
In addition, there are lingering potions, which are brewed with dragon breath and splash potions. Similarly, a lingering potions' effect is extended by adding redstone to it. The potion table has been rearranged to look more like the Java Edition. New potions have also been added like the potion of leaping as well as decomposition.
Trinkets
A trinket can be described as a small and inexpensive ornament or piece of jewelry. It could be a reference to an object or decoration that serves a purpose but is not particularly significant such as a trinket. In certain traditions, trinkets are used to signify affection or friendship, particularly between family members.
Players can upgrade trinkets as well as weapons, armor, and potions. They can be upgraded by visiting an upgrade vendor and paying the appropriate amount in currency. As with other upgrades to items trinkets are able to be swapped out at will without losing their stats.
Upgrade vendors are located at the capitals of each zone and in some cases in dungeons. Upgrades for trinkets are available with tokens, gold, or fragments from a rare trinket.
Upgrades are a less expensive alternative to buying a new trinket. A player can upgrade their trinket for as little 12 tokens. The new trinket will have the same level of base as the previous trinket but will also have an additional bonus of 1% upgrade.
Once the old Trinkets have become no longer usable they can be upgraded. This allows a player to increase both their power and value over time. They can be traded between players, making them an alternative to gold.
Players should upgrade their most important items first. This usually means the best-in-slot items for their class, followed by their secondaries and then other items of gear they will not be replacing soon (for example an earring or cloak). When choosing which items to upgrade players should also be aware of the class's preferred stats. If Haste and Crit are two of the most important stats for tank players and they want to upgrade their helm, chest and shoulders.
Trinkets can be upgraded to a higher ilvl once they no longer have value, and the new trinket will have an additional 1% upgrade bonus. However, a re-upgrade can cause the trinket to be destroyed until it is salvaged with a Black Lion Salvage Kit or a higher-tier salvage tool. Upgrades to trinkets are more expensive than other upgrades but still less expensive than purchasing an entirely new trinket.
