The Ultimate Guide To Item Upgrading
World of Warcraft - Item Upgrading
The item upgrade allows players to boost the gear rating of an item up to 700 points and give it a bonus. Items can be upgraded if they're in your inventory and you bring them to the Kiln.
Certain items can be upgraded for their unique stats (like a perfectly rolled breakpoint armour used in melee PvP) while others like weapons don't change much post upgrade and thus aren't worth upgrading.
Weapons
Weapons can be upgraded to boost their numeric stats, such as damage to attack, crit chance, PvE and damage to PvP. They also have a flat bonus which increases the damage they deal per second. Some weapons also have a fixed bonus which is activated when three or more identical weapons are placed in a single unit. In some cases this bonus can add up to more than the amount of damage that a weapon upgrades on its own.
The cost of upgrading a weapon depends on its rarity and current level. For example, an +2 weapon will require two regular Smithing Stones while a+3 requires four. The number of stones required to upgrade a weapon will continue increase until it requires the higher level of Smithing Stones, at which the number will be reset to one.
Upgrades to weapons can also reroll the stats of their base. This is generally a positive aspect, but it may also have negative consequences. Upgrades can make items unusable, unless you are very lucky.
It is possible to upgrade armor items to improve their performance. For instance, if you have chests or helms this will increase the defense of its base, while gloves and belts increase their strength and dexterity. Armor has a rerolling feature for its Enhanced Defense%. This means that it can sometimes reduce its value.
The upgrade template of a weapon will display the new stats that it will gain when upgrading, along with the values of these 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% does not mean that it will strike for 3 fewer times, since it is an absolute statistic.
A weapon can also be rerolled using the green button with arrows that circle in the item menu. This will reroll the item and change its stats, however, it will not reset the weapon's level nor tie it to the account status.
Armor
A few tweaks to your armor can make huge differences in your ability to survive. Certain sets offer massive increases in resistance to curses, poisons fire, magic, and other. This makes it easier to get through difficult terrains. In general, the greater defense you have for your character, the greater health you can get from each point. Therefore, it's a good idea to upgrade your armor.
To upgrade your armor, go to any of the Great Fairy Fountains in the game. 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 done the main side quest and mastered the fountain in question you'll be able to talk to any Great Fairy to open up the armor upgrade menu.
The amount of materials needed to upgrade each piece of armor is different. In general, you'll be looking at anything from three to five Red Chuchu Jellies and 10 Rupees for the initial upgrade, and then anywhere from five Rubies and 10 Fire-Breath Lizalfos Horns for each subsequent upgrade. For example, the Champion Leathers can be upgraded to +5 defense, allowing you to keep up with a good-sized group of enemies in the majority of cold conditions and the Snowquill Headdress can be upgraded all the way to +20 defense, granting you enough protection to survive a full on raid with a few of your friends.
Note that armor can't be upgraded the same way as weapons, so you'll need to work on enhancing it to increase physical power if you're Warrior or Spell Power in the case of a Mage. It's also worth saving your armor upgrades to use for armor you'll be wearing at the end of the game, such as the Ring of Lightning and Spectral Shield, or the helmet you'll wear for the final boss battle and the Monter Parts Merchant's mask.
By giving the jeweler 10 Twinkling Titanite in Gerudo Town in Gerudo Town, you can gain some benefits to your armor. Generally, you'll want to save these upgrades for the weapon you'll be using to win the game like the Longsword, Battleaxe or Warhammer, but it can be useful to have a few improvements to the helmets and chest armor that let you stealthy battle some monsters.
Potions
Potions are liquids that when consumed by the player, provide a temporary effect. There are five kinds of potions that have different effects and durations. Certain potions can be upgraded to enhance their level of effectiveness. In addition the effects of some potions can be enhanced by adding redstone or glowstone dust to the potions.
Potion upgrades require a certain amount of XP. This can be earned by crafting them on a craft table or by placing them in the Alchemist chest. The price of upgrades 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 it in your inventory. Then select "Upgrade" from the menu. item upgrading will open a GUI where you can choose the potions you wish to upgrade and the amount of XP they'll produce when upgraded. Upgrades to potions can be made in batches of up to five at a time and the XP that they generate will be added to your current XP total.
Once a potion is upgraded, it will not degrade until you re-use it, or break the bottle it is stored in. You can also rename the potion by clicking it in your inventory.
There were some changes to the mechanics of potion 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 that are displayed on the hover display for the item). The table for potion can now be made using four Wood Planks and two Glass. This allows it to be utilized by players in Survival and Bedrock. In contrast to the Java Edition, Bedrock edition potions can't be combined in cauldrons. The same is true for using a potion in a cauldron that is full. This will draw out the potion, and refill the bottle.
Finally, there are simmering potions made using splash and dragon breath potions. Redstone can be added to lingering potions to enhance their effect. The table of potion ingredients is now arranged more like the Java Edition, and new potions were added, such as potion of leaping, decomposition potion, as well as turtle master potions.
Trinkets
A trinket can be described as a small and affordable ornament or piece of jewelry. It could also be an ornament or object that has a purpose but is not important such as a trinket. In some cultures a trinket can be used to express affection or friendship between family members.
Players can upgrade trinkets as well as weapons and armor, as well as potions. Upgrades can be made by paying the appropriate currency to an upgrade vendor. Trinkets like other items that can be upgraded, can be traded at will without losing stats.
The upgrade vendors are found in major cities and in the capital of each zone, as well as in in dungeons. Upgrades for trinkets can be bought with tokens, gold or fragments of rare trinkets.
Upgrades are a cost-effective alternative to buying a brand new trinket. It can be done by players for as little as 12 tokens. The new trinket will have the same level of base as the previous trinket but will also have an additional 1% bonus upgrade.
Once the old Trinkets have become no longer usable, they can be upgraded. This allows players to increase both their power and value with time. They can be traded between players and are a viable alternative to gold.
Players should upgrade their most essential items first. This means that the best-in slot items for each class are upgraded first before their secondary gear and finally other equipment that they won't replace in the near future (such as a ring or an cloak). When deciding on the items to upgrade, players should be aware of the class's preferred stats. For instance when Haste and Crit are the two most important stats for tankers it is recommended that they upgrade their chest, helm shoulders, belt, and chest.
Trinkets can be upgraded to a higher ilvl after they're no longer needed, and the new trinket will have an additional bonus of 1% for upgrading. Re-upgrading can cause damage to the trinket unless it is 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 cheaper than buying an entirely new trinket.
