World of Warcraft - Item Upgrading
Upgrades to items allow players to boost the gear score of an item up to 700 and also add a final perk. Items can be upgraded by keeping them in inventory before heading to the kiln.
Certain items are worth upgrading due to their unique stats. (For instance an excellently broken point armor that is rolled can be used in melee PvP). Other items, like weapons don't change much after an upgrade and aren't worth the cost.
Weapons
Weapons can be upgraded to boost their numeric stats like crit chance, attack damage PvE and PvP damage. Weapons come with a flat rate bonus that increases damage per second. Additionally some weapons come with a set bonus that activates when three or more of the same weapon are equipped on a single unit. This bonus could exceed the damage that a weapon upgrade alone can do.
A weapon's upgrade costs depend on the nature of the weapon as well as its current level. For example, an +2 weapon requires two standard Smithing Stones while a+3 requires four. The number of stones needed to upgrade a weapon will continue to increase until it is required to use a higher tier of Smithing Stones, at which the amount will be reset to one.
Upgrades to weapons will also reroll the stats of their base. This is usually a good factor, but it could also have negative effects. In the case of items that are only used in a certain build (Whistant's shield for FB sorcs, for instance), upgrading them may render them useless unless you have an extremely lucky roll.
Upgrades can be made to armor items to improve their stats. For instance, if you have chests or helms, it will boost its base defense while gloves and belts will enhance their required strength and dexterity. Armor offers a rerolling option for its Enhanced Defense percent. This means that it can sometimes roll down to a lower value.
The upgrade template for a weapon displays the new stats it will gain when upgraded and their relative values. This means that the weapon will gain 33% attack damage when 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 hit 3 times less often as it is an absolute statistic.
A weapon can be rerolled by pressing the green button, which is accompanied by arrows that circle in the menu for items. This will reroll the item and alter its stats however, it will not reset the weapon's levels or connect to the status of your account.
Armor
A few upgrades to your armor can make all the difference in your ability to survive. Certain sets provide massive boosts to poison, curse, fire and magic resistance, making it easier to navigate through tough terrain. The more defense your character has the more value you get from every point of health you possess and it's crucial to improve your armor as much as possible.
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 must complete an additional quest involving the Stable Trotters. After you've completed the main quest and the associated fountains, you'll be able to talk to any Great Fairy in order to unlock the armor upgrade menu.
The amount of materials needed to upgrade each piece of armor is different. In general, you're looking at anything from three to five Red Chuchu jellies and 10 Rupees for the initial upgrade, and anywhere between five Rubies and 10 Fire-Breath Lizalfos Horns for each subsequent upgrade. The Champion Leathers, as an example can be upgraded to a 5 defense rating, which allows you to stay ahead in cold environments with a lot of foes. The Snowquill Headdress, on the other is able to be upgraded as high as +20 defense, which means you can survive a raid with friends.
You can't upgrade your armor like 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. It's also worth saving your armor upgrades to use for armor you'll wear at the end of the game, like the Ring of Lightning and Spectral Shield, or the helmet you wear to fight the final boss as well as the Monter Parts merchant's mask.
By giving the jeweler 10 Twinkling Titanite in Gerudo Town, you can unlock perks for your armor. You'll typically want to keep these upgrades to the weapon you'll use to win the game. For item upgrading , the Longsword or Battleaxe. It's nevertheless beneficial to have some upgrades for the helmets and chest armor so that you can sneak around some monsters.
Potions
Potions are liquids that, when consumed by the participant, produce an immediate effect. There are five kinds of potions with different effects and durations. Some potions may be upgraded, increasing their level of effect. You can also increase the effects of certain potions by adding redstone dust and glowstone dust.
Potion upgrades cost a specific amount of XP. This can be earned by crafting them using a craft table or the Alchemist's chest. However, the upgrade price changes depending on what kind of potion you wish to upgrade, and also on the item's Mark Level and rarity.
To upgrade a potion to the next level, right-click on it in your inventory and choose the "Upgrade" option from the menu. This will open a GUI that lets you choose the potion that you want to upgrade and the amount of experience they'll offer when upgraded. You can upgrade potions in batches up to five at a time, and their XP will be added to the total XP you have.
Once a potion is upgraded, it won't degrade until you use it again or break the bottle it's stored in. You can also rename the potion by clicking it in your inventory.
Version 1.7.2 introduced a few changes to the mechanism of potions. Splash potions for instance, now have a duration that is 0:08 instead of 22.5 seconds that are displayed on the item hover display. The table of potion can now be made using four Wood Planks and two Glass. It can now be utilized in both Survival and Bedrock. Bedrock Edition potions aren't compatible with cauldrons, unlike Java Edition. This is the same for using a potion in the cauldron that is filled. This will drain the potion, and refill the bottle.
In addition, there are lingering potions that are made with dragon breath and splash potions. In the same way, a lingering potion can be enhanced by adding redstone. The potion table is now laid out more in line with the Java Edition, and new potions were added such as the potion of leaping and the potion of decomposition, and turtle master potions.
Trinkets
A trinket is an ornamental item that is small, cheap or piece of jewelry. It may be a reference to an object or ornament that serves a purpose, but is not particularly significant, such as a tiny thimble. In certain cultures, a trinket is used to symbolize friendship or affection, especially between family members.
In addition to weapons, armor and potions, players are able to upgrade their trinkets. They can be upgraded by visiting an upgrade vendor and paying the appropriate amount in currency. Trinkets unlike other items that can be upgraded can be exchanged at any time without losing stats.
The upgrade vendors are located in major cities and in the capital of each zone, and in in dungeons. Upgrades for trinkets are available with gold, tokens, or fragments from a rare trinket.
Upgrades are a less expensive alternative to buying a brand new trinket. A player can upgrade a trinket with as little as 12 tokens. The new trinket will have the same base level as the previous trinket but it also comes with an additional bonus of 1% upgrade.
Trinkets can be upgraded when they're no longer useful, allowing a player to increase their power and worth over time. They can be traded between players which makes them a good alternative to gold.
In general players should upgrade their most important items first. This usually refers to the most valuable-in-slot items for their class, followed by their secondaries, and finally other items of gear they won't replace soon (for example, a ring or cloak). It is also important to consider your class's preferred stats when choosing which items to upgrade. For example If Haste and Crit are the two most important stats for a tank, they should prioritize upgrading their chest, helm shoulders, belt, and chest.
Trinkets are able to be upgraded to a higher ilvl once they're no longer needed and the new trinket can be upgraded to have an additional upgrade bonus of 1. Re-upgrading will cause the trinket to be destroyed unless it is saved using 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 new ones.
