Ten Things You Learned In Kindergarden To Help You Get Started With Item Upgrades
World of Warcraft Item Upgrades
The upgrading of your items is a vital aspect of equipping your character. Upgrades boost the base damage and the enchantments of items.
They also offer bonuses and improvements. The Blacksmith is able to sell them to you.
The upgrade button can be found on any item. Each recycled item adds one level to the gauge for upgrading.
Weapons
If a weapon is upgraded, it gets an initial damage bonus as well as a scaling factor which affects other stats. The weapon can also be upgraded with a number of upgrade components, which provide additional attributes or effects and some even have distinctive cosmetic effects. These upgrades can be added to weapons, armors, trinkets and gathering tools. Most require that the item has an upgrade slot available and meet certain requirements. When a weapon or armor piece features an upgrade component within it, the item can be upgraded however the prior upgrade will be destroyed (except for legendary equipment and upgrades). Upgrade components can be found through the Black Lion Salvage Kit, Ascended Salvage tool, or high-tier salvaging tool that is attached to an item.
In addition to the normal upgrades, a weapon may be upgraded using an attribute called Calibration that increases certain stats such as Weakspot Damage or Crit Rate. This is accomplished through the Gear Workbench's interaction menu. This can be done four times based on the weapon level.
Once the weapon has reached its maximum upgrade and is then reforged to add different bonuses and effects or improve specific stats. Many of these upgrades can be used at once, and their effects differ based on the rarity of the weapon.
Two Blacksmiths can perform these upgrades in the game: Blacksmith Iji on the Road to the Manor Site of Grace and Smithing Master Hewg at the Church of Elleh hub. Both require different upgrade materials: Smithing Stones for standard weapons and Somber Smithing Stones for modifying the damage that a weapon inflicts.
In general, it's best to upgrade your weapon damage first. Then you can increase your armor defense, and then the secondary stats that are required by your build. It is not uncommon to see melee Druids upgrade their weapon before upgrading other gear. item upgrading can help increase DPS. This is especially applicable to enchantments that boost a weapon's stats and damage.
Armor
Item Upgrades allow players to increase the effectiveness of certain armors, weapons trinkets and gathering tools. These upgrades can also bring additional effects, like additional damage or a cosmetic enhancement. Item Upgrades are available through crafting, buying from NPC vendors, in loot drops, or as rewards from quests.

The quality of armor can be upgraded by visiting the Armorer NPC, and spending the appropriate currency. In most cases, a piece of armor will be upgraded to the next level once an upgrade is applied. This is possible for all types of armor, however certain types of armor cannot be upgraded in any way (such as the armor that is used as a starter in Great Sky Island).
Most armor upgrades increase the item's defense or strength by a small amount. Certain upgrade components, however, could result in significant improvements in defense or strength. This is especially true when upgrading epic items.
In addition to increasing the base defense of an item, certain upgrades also give specific abilities that can be activated while wearing an armor. These abilities can be extremely beneficial in combat. For instance, they can boost attack speed or block. Certain upgrades can have passive effects that are useful, such as reducing damage while wearing armor, or increasing the chance to dodge an attack.
Upgrades to armor may require several attempts, depending on the type. For instance the case of a player wanting to upgrade an existing Steelclash armor to Dragonscale The first attempt would result in a new piece of Dragonscale with a base defense between 59-67. The second attempt would result in a new Dragonscale armor with an initial defense of 67-77, and so on.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild allows players to upgrade their armor sets up to level 4. To upgrade their armor players must visit the four Great Fairy Fountains located in the game. Each of these locations houses the power of a fairy who can upgrade a piece of armor for the player.
Contrary to popular belief, armor in The Division 2 is not useless. Certain armors provide a significant boost to the reduction of damage from poison or curse, magic or fire. This makes them very useful for certain builds. There are many other ways to increase the strength of armor apart from upgrading the armor, like using the engineer trait to increase armor penetration or the challenger trait to decrease the total weight.
Potion
A potion can be upgraded by putting it in an brewing stand in order to unlock new effects. The upgrade unlocks a new level of effects from the potion and can be repeated to increase the potency.
The potions also get a custom color, which can be selected by the player via /give. The color affects the effect clouds' area-of-effect as well as the arrows that are generated. In Bedrock Edition, the custom color code of the potion is also applied to the effects of the potion's particle effects.
