World of Warcraft – Item Upgrading The upgrade of an item allows players to boost an item's gear score up to 700 and add an additional perk. Items can be upgraded if they are in your inventory and you bring them to the Kiln. Certain items can be upgraded 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 vary greatly post upgrade, and therefore aren't worth upgrading. Weapons Upgrades to weapons can boost their numerical stats, such as attack damage, crit probability and PvE/PvP damage. Weapons come with a flat-rate bonus that increases damage per second. A lot of weapons also come with an unaffected bonus that is activated when three or more identical weapons are placed in a group. In certain instances, this bonus could add up to more than the amount of damage that a weapon is able to upgrade by itself. The cost of upgrading a weapon's capabilities is contingent on the nature of the weapon as well as 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 needed to upgrade a weapon will increase until it needs a higher level of Smithing Stones. At that point it will reset to one. Upgrades to weapons will also change the stats of the base. While this is usually an excellent thing, it can have some negative consequences as well. For items that are only used in a particular build (Whistant's shield for FB sorcs for instance) upgrading them could render them unusable unless you get a lucky roll. Items of armor can also be upgraded to increase their performance. This can increase the defense of a helm or chest as well as belts and gloves. These will boost their required strength and agility. Armor offers a rerolling option for its Enhanced Defense%. This means that it can sometimes reroll down to a lower value. The upgrade template for a weapon shows the new stats that it will get when upgraded and their relative values. This means that a change from a sword with 8 damage to an 11-attack-damage sword would result in a weapon receiving 3% of attack damage. The 3% does not mean that the weapon will strike 3 times less, as it is an absolute number. Rerolling a weapon is also possible by pressing the green button in the item menu, using the arrows that are circling. The item will be rerolled and change its statistics, but it will not reset the weapon's level or bind it to account status. Armor A few tweaks to your armor can make a a huge difference in your capacity to withstand. Certain sets offer massive boosts to poison, curse, fire and magic resistance, which makes the journey through difficult terrain a breeze. In general, the greater defense your character is, the more value you will get from each point of health you possess and it's crucial to improve your armor as much as possible. You can upgrade your armor by visiting any of the Great Fairy Fountains. There are four Great Fairy Fountains within the game and to unlock each one you must complete a side quest that involves the Stable Trotters. After you've completed the main side quest and completed the fountain that corresponds and then you can contact any Great Fairy to open up the armor upgrade menu. Each piece of armor can be upgraded up to three levels, and the amount of material and Rupees needed for each will vary. In general, you'll be looking at anywhere between three Red Chuchu Jellies and ten Rupees for the initial upgrade, and then anywhere from five Rubies and ten Fire-Breath Lizalfos Horns for each subsequent upgrade. For example the Champion Leathers can be upgraded to +5 defense, which allows you to keep pace with a decent-sized group of enemies in most cold environments and the Snowquill Headdress can be upgraded to +20 defense, granting you enough protection to survive an entire raid with a few of your friends. item upgrades can't upgrade your armor the same as weapons. If you're playing as a Warrior, you should focus on upgrading your armor for physical strength or the power of spells. It's also a good idea to save your armor upgrades for the armor you'll still be wearing at the end of the game, such as the Ring of Lightning and Spectral Shield or the helmet you use to fight the final boss, the Monter Parts Merchant's mask. By giving the jeweler 10 Twinkling Titanite in Gerudo Town and you will be able to unlock some perks on your armor. Generally, you'll want to save 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 some upgrades of the chest armor and helmets to allow you to stealth around certain monsters. Potions Potions are liquids that when consumed by the participant, produce an immediate effect. There are five kinds of potions, each with particular effects and durations. Some potions can be upgraded, increasing their level of effect. You can also enhance the effects of certain potions by adding redstone dust and glowstone dust. Upgrades to potion require a certain amount XP. This can be earned by making them on a crafting table or by storing them in the Alchemist chest. However, the cost of upgrading changes depending on what type of potion you want to upgrade, as well as on the item's Mark Level as well as its rarity. To upgrade a potion, click right on it in your inventory and choose the “Upgrade” option from the menu. This will open an GUI which allows you to select the potion you want to upgrade and the amount of experience they will offer 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. When a poton is upgraded and stored, it will not degrade until you use it again or break the bottle in which it is stored. Clicking on the potion in your inventory will allow you to rename it. There were some changes to potion mechanics in version 1.7.2. Splash potions, for instance have now a duration of 0:08 instead of the 22.5 seconds displayed on the hover display for the item. The potion table can now be crafted with four Wood Planks and two Glass. It can now be utilized in both Survival and Bedrock. Bedrock Edition potions are not compatible with cauldrons like Java Edition. This is the same for using a potion in the cauldron that is filled. This will drain the liquid, and then refill the bottle. Finally, there are simmering potions made using dragon breath and splash potions. Similarly, a lingering potions' effect is extended by adding redstone to it. The table of potions has been rearranged to appear more like the Java Edition. New potions have also been added, for instance, the potion of leaping as well as decomposition. Trinkets A trinket could be a small, inexpensive 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 trinket. In some cultures a trinket is used to express affection or friendship between family members. Trinkets can be upgraded by players in addition to weapons and armor, as well as potions. These can be upgraded by visiting an upgrade vendor and paying the appropriate amount in currency. As with other upgrades to items, trinkets can be traded out at any time without losing their stats. The upgrade vendors are found in major cities and the capital of each zone, as well as in some instances in dungeons. Upgrades for trinkets are bought with tokens, gold or fragments of rare trinkets. Upgrades are a cost-effective alternative to purchasing a new trinket. It can be done by the player for just 12 tokens. The new trinket comes with the same level of base as the old trinket, but it also comes with an additional bonus of 1% upgrade. Once the old Trinkets are no longer useful they can be upgraded. This allows players to increase their power and value over time. They can be traded among players and are a viable alternative to gold. Players should upgrade their most important items first. This means that the top-in slot items for each class are upgraded first before their secondary gear, and then other pieces of equipment that will not replace in the near future (such as rings or cloaks). When deciding which items to upgrade, players should also consider the class's preferred stats. For example, if Haste and Crit are the two most important stats for tankers, they should prioritize upgrading their chest, helm shoulders, belt, and chest. Once they have become useless, trinkets can be upgraded to a greater level. The upgraded trinket will give you an additional 1% bonus. However, a re-upgrade can destroy the old trinket until it is saved using the Black Lion Salvage Kit or a higher-tier salvage tool. Upgrades to trinkets are more expensive than other upgrades, but still cheaper than buying new ones.
