5 Killer Quora Answers On Item Upgrading

From VSt Wiki

World of Warcraft - Item Upgrading

item level upgrade upgrading allows players to increase an item's gear score up to 700, and then 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 distinctive stats. (For instance an excellently roll breakpoint armor is used in melee PvP). Other items like weapons aren't changed much after an upgrade and therefore aren't worth it.

Weapons

Upgrades to weapons can improve their numerical stats, including attack damage, crit chance, and PvE/PvP damage. Weapons come with a flat rate bonus that increases damage per second. Additionally, many weapons have a set bonus which is activated when three or more of the same weapon is present on a single unit. In certain instances, this bonus can add up to more than the amount of damage that a weapon is able to upgrade by itself.

The cost of upgrading a weapon is contingent on its rarity as well as its current level. For example an item upgrader with a rating of +2 will require two regular Smithing Stones to upgrade while the +3 model requires four. The number of stones needed to upgrade a weapon will continue to increase until it is required to use an upgrade to a higher level of Smithing Stones, at which the amount will be reset to one.

Upgrading weapons will also reroll their base stats. This is usually a good aspect, but it may also have negative consequences. Upgrades can make things impossible to use, unless you are very lucky.

It is possible to upgrade armor items to boost their stats. For example, if you upgrade a helm or chest, it will boost its defense base while gloves and belts will enhance their required strength and dexterity. Armor also offers the option of rerolling its Enhanced Defense%, meaning that it may 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 would result in a weapon receiving an attack damage of 3. However the 3% difference doesn't mean that it will be hit 3 times less often as it is an absolute number.

A weapon can also be rerolled using the green button with circling arrows in the menu for items. This will reroll the item level upgrade and alter its stats, however, it will not reset the weapon's level or bind to account status.

Armor

Adding a few upgrades to your armor could make a huge differences in your ability to endure. Certain sets can offer MASSIVE increases in poison or curse, fire or magic resistance, which can make traversing tough areas a breeze. In general, the greater defense you can offer your character, the more health you will receive from each point. Therefore, it is recommended to upgrade your armor.

To improve your armor, head to one of the Great Fairy Fountains in the game. There are four Great Fairy Fountains in the game and to unlock them all, you must complete an additional quest that involves the Stable Trotters. Once you've completed the primary side quest and have completed the fountain in question 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 required to complete each will vary. In general, you're looking at anywhere between three Red Chuchu Jellies and ten Rupees for the initial upgrade, and then anywhere from five Rubies and 10 Fire-Breath Lizalfos Horns for each subsequent one. For example the Champion Leathers can be upgraded to +5 defense, which allows you to keep up with a large group of enemies in the majority of cold climates, and the Snowquill Headdress can be upgraded to +20 defense, granting you enough protection to withstand an entire raid with a few friends.

You can't upgrade your armor like weapons. If you're playing as a Warrior it is best to focus on upgrading your armor for physical power or the power of spells. It's also worth saving 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 for the final boss battle, the Monter Parts Merchant's mask.

By giving the jeweler 10 Twinkling Titanite in Gerudo Town, you can unlock some perks on your armor. You'll generally want to save these upgrades to the weapon that you'll use to beat the game. For example, the Longsword or Battleaxe. However, it's beneficial to have some upgrades for the armor on your chest and helmets to let you get around a few monsters.

Potions

Potions are liquids that when consumed by the player, provide the player with a temporary effect for a short period of time. There are five kinds of potions with different effects and durations. Some potions may be upgraded, enhancing the effectiveness of their effects. You can also enhance the effects of certain potions by adding glowstone dust and redstone.

Potion upgrades require a certain amount XP. This can be obtained by making them on a table or by placing them in the Alchemist chest. The cost of upgrading varies based on the type of potion as well as the item's Rarity and Mark Level.

To upgrade a potion, click right on it in your inventory and choose the "Upgrade" option from the menu. This will open an GUI in which you can select the potion you want to upgrade and the amount of XP they'll produce 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 currently have.

When a poton is upgraded and stored, it will not degrade unless you make use of it again or break the bottle in which it is kept. Clicking on the potion in your inventory will also allow you to rename it.

There were a few changes to the mechanics of potions in version 1.7.2. For instance splash potions now have an average duration of 0.08 seconds (this is not the same as the 22.5 seconds shown on the hover display for the item). The table for potion is constructed from four Wood Planks, and two Glass. It can be used in both Survival and Bedrock. Bedrock Edition potions aren't compatible with cauldrons, unlike Java Edition. Also, putting a potion in a cauldron that is full drains the potion and refills the bottle.

In addition, there are lingering potions, which are made with splash and dragon breath potions. Similarly, a lingering potions' effect is extended by adding redstone. The table of potion ingredients is rearranged to look more like the Java Edition. New potions are also added, like the potion of leaping as well as decomposition.

Trinkets

A trinket could be a small, inexpensive ornament or piece of jewelry. It could also be an ornament or object that serves a function but is not important as a Thimble. In certain cultures, a trinket can be used to express friendship or affection between family members.

In addition to weapons, armor and potions, players are able to upgrade their trinkets. Upgrades can be obtained by paying the appropriate currency to an upgrade vendor. As with other upgrades to items, trinkets can be exchanged at will without losing their stats.

Upgrade vendors can be found at the capitals of each zone and in some cases in dungeons. Upgrades for trinkets are purchased using tokens, gold or fragments of rare trinkets.

Upgrades are a cheaper alternative to buying a new trinket. A player can upgrade their trinket for just 12 tokens. The new trinket will have the same level of base as the old trinket but it also comes with an additional bonus of 1% upgrade.

Trinkets can be re-upgraded once they're no longer useful, allowing a player to increase their power and worth 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 most-important slot items for each class are upgraded first then their secondary gear, and then other equipment that they won't replace anytime soon (such as an earring or a cloak). Players should also take into consideration their class's preferred stats when choosing the items to upgrade. If Haste and Crit are two of the most important stats to tank players and they want to upgrade their chest, helm, and shoulders.

When they are no longer useful trinkets are able to be upgraded to a higher level. The new trinket comes with an additional 1percent bonus. However, a re-upgrade will cause the trinket to be destroyed in the event that it is not salvaged with a Black Lion Salvage Kit or a higher-tier salvage tool. This means upgrading trinkets is more expensive than other upgrades, but is still cheaper than buying an entirely new trinket.
