9 Signs That Youre The Item Upgrading Expert
World of Warcraft - Item Upgrading
The upgrade of an item lets players increase the gear rating of an item up 700 points and also add a final bonus. Items can be upgraded by keeping them in inventory before heading to the kiln.
Certain items can be upp'd to benefit from their unique stats (like perfect rolled breakpoint armour used in melee PvP) while other items, such as weapons do not vary greatly post upgrade and thus aren't worth upgrading.
Weapons
Weapons can be upgraded to increase their numeric stats such as the chance to crit, attack damage as well as PvE and damage from PvP. Weapons also come with an unchanging bonus that increases the damage they deal per second. Additionally some weapons come with a set bonus which is activated when three or more of the same weapon are present on a unit. In some instances, this bonus could add up to more than the amount of damage a weapon can sustain by itself.
The cost of upgrading a weapon's capabilities is contingent on the quality of the weapon and its current level. For instance, an upgrade to a +2 weapon requires two standard Smithing Stones while a+3 requires four. The number of stones required to upgrade a weapon will continue increase until it is required to use a higher tier of Smithing Stones, at which the amount will be reset to one.
The upgrade of weapons can also change their base stats. This is usually a positive thing, but it can also have negative effects. Upgrades can render items impossible to use, unless you are very lucky.
It is possible to upgrade armor items to boost their stats. This can boost the defense base of a chest or helm, while belts and gloves will increase their required strength and agility. Armor also offers an option to reroll its Enhanced Defense percent, which means that it could roll back to a lower number.
The upgrade template of a weapon will display the new stats it will gain when upgrading, as well as the relative values of those stats. This means that a change from an 8 attack-damage sword to an 11-attack-damage sword will result in a weapon gaining 33% attack damage. However, the 3% doesn't mean that it will be hit for 3 fewer times as it is an absolute number.
A weapon can be rerolled by pressing the green button with circular arrows within the menu for items. This will roll the item and alter its stats however, it will not reset the weapon's level or bind to account status.
Armor
A few upgrades to your armor can make all the difference to your survivability. Certain sets can offer MASSIVE boosts to poison or curse, fire, and magic resistance, which can make it easier to navigate through tough terrain. In general, the greater defense you have for your character, the more health you will gain from each point. Therefore, it's a good idea to upgrade your armor.
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 each fountain, you have to complete a side quest that involves the Stable Trotters. Once you've completed the primary side quest and have completed the fountain that corresponds you'll be able to contact any Great Fairy to open up the armor upgrade menu.
The amount of material needed to upgrade each piece of armor will vary. You'll require anything between three Red Chuchu jelly and 10 Rupees to upgrade the first armor piece, and between five Rubies or ten Fire-Breath Lizalfos Horns to upgrade the next one. For example, the Champion Leathers can be upgraded to +5 defense, allowing you to keep pace with a decent-sized group of enemies in most cold conditions, and the Snowquill Headdress can be upgraded to +20 defense, granting you enough protection to withstand a full on raid with a handful of friends.
It isn't possible to upgrade armor in the same way as weapons. If you're playing as a Warrior then you should concentrate on upgrading your armor to increase physical strength or the power of spells. You should also save your armor upgrades to upgrade the armor you will still be wearing at the end of the story, such as the Ring of Lightning, Spectral Shield or the mask you use in the final boss fight, the Monter Parts Merchant Mask.
You can also get some advantages to your armor by presenting the jeweler in Gerudo Town 10 Twinkling Titanite. Generally speaking, you'll want to keep these upgrades for the weapon you'll be using to win the game, such as the Longsword, Battleaxe or Warhammer however, it could be useful to have a few upgrades to your chest armor and helmets that let you stealthy battle some monsters.
Potions
Potions are bottled substances that, if consumed, provide the user with the illusion of status for a few minutes. There are five kinds of potions, each with specific effects and durations. Certain potions can be upgraded to improve their level of effectiveness. You can also increase the effects of certain potions by adding redstone dust and glowstone dust.
Upgrades to your potion require a specific amount XP. This can be earned by crafting them on a table, or by storing them in the Alchemist chest. The price of upgrades changes depending on what kind of potion you wish 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 an GUI which allows you to choose the potion that you wish to upgrade, and the amount of experience they'll give you 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 level.
Once a potion is upgraded, it won't degrade until you use it again or break the bottle it is stored in. You can also rename the potion by clicking on it in your inventory.
Version 1.7.2 brought a few changes to the mechanism of potions. Splash potions, for example, now have a duration zero, not the 22.5 seconds displayed on the item hover display. The potion table is now crafted from four Wood Planks, and two Glass. It can now be utilized in both Survival and Bedrock. Bedrock Edition potions are not compatible with cauldrons, unlike Java Edition. Also, putting a potion on a full cauldron, it drains the potion and replenishes the bottle.
Lastly, there are now lingering potions that are brewed with splash and dragon breath potions. Similarly, a lingering potions' effect is extended by adding redstone to it. The potion table is now organized more closely to the Java Edition, and new potions were introduced, including the potion of leaping and the potion of decomposition, and turtle master potions.
Trinkets
A trinket is a tiny and cheap ornament or piece of jewelry. It may also refer to an object or ornament that serves a purpose, but is not particularly important such as a tiny thimble. In certain cultures, a trinket is used to signify affection or friendship, specifically between family members.
Players can upgrade trinkets as well as weapons or armor, as well as potions. They can be upgraded by visiting an upgrade vendor and paying the appropriate currency. Trinkets unlike other items that can be upgraded can be swapped at will without losing stats.
Upgrade vendors are located at the capitals of every zone, and in some instances in dungeons. Upgrades for trinkets are purchased with gold, tokens or fragments of a rare trinket.
Upgrading a trinket is a cost-effective alternative to purchasing an entirely new one. A player can upgrade their trinket for as little 12 tokens. The new trinket will have the same base level as the previous trinket but it also comes with an additional 1% bonus upgrade.
Once the old Trinkets have become not usable, they can be upgraded. This allows a player to increase their power and value with time. They can be traded between players which makes them a good alternative to gold.
In general players should upgrade their top-priority items first. This usually refers to the most valuable-in-slot items for their class, then their secondary items and finally, other gear items that they will not be replacing in the near future (for instance, a ring or cloak). It is also important to consider your class's preferred stats when choosing which items to upgrade. For example when Haste and Crit are the two most important stats for tanks it is recommended that they upgrade their helm, chest, shoulders, and belt.
Once they have become useless, trinkets can be upgraded to a higher level. item upgrade has an additional bonus of 1. Re-upgrading can cause damage to the trinket unless it can be salvaged with the help of a Black Lion Salvage Kit, or a higher tier salvage tool. Upgrades to trinkets can be more expensive than other upgrades but still less expensive than buying a new one.
