Five Killer Quora Answers To Item Upgrading

From VSt Wiki

World of Warcraft - Item Upgrading

item upgrade upgrading allows players to increase the gear score of an item to 700 and also add an additional perk. Items can be upgraded if they're in your inventory and you decide to take them to the kiln.

Certain items can be upp'd to increase their stats (like perfect rolled breakpoint armour used in melee PvP) and others, like weapons, don't change much post upgrade, and therefore aren't worth upgrading.

Weapons

Upgrades to weapons can increase their numerical stats, like 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 are equipped on a single unit. In certain instances, this bonus could amount to more than the amount of damage a weapon can sustain on its own.

The cost of upgrading a weapon varies on its rarity and level. For example an item with a rating of +2 will require two regular Smithing Stones to upgrade item while a +3 requires four. The number of stones required to upgrade a gun will increase until it needs an upgrade to a higher level of Smithing Stones. At that point, it will reset back to one.

The upgrade of weapons can also change their base stats. This is usually a positive aspect, but it may also have negative consequences. 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 get a lucky roll.

Upgrades can be made to armor items to boost their effectiveness. For instance, if you have chests or helms this will increase its base defense while gloves and belts will increase their strength and dexterity. Armor also has the option of rerolling its Enhanced Defense%, meaning that it can sometimes roll back to a lower number.

The upgrade template for a weapon will display the new stats it will get when upgraded in addition to their relative values. This means that an upgrade from an 8 attack-damage sword to an 11-attack-damage sword will result in a weapon receiving 3% of attack damage. The 3% doesn't mean that the weapon will strike 3 times less, as it is an absolute number.

A weapon can also be rerolled using the green button with circling arrows in the item upgrades menu. This will roll an item upgrades and alter its stats but it will not reset the weapon's level or tie it to the account status.

Armor

A few upgrades to your armor can make a huge difference to your survivability. Certain sets can offer massive increases in resistance to poison, curses and fire as well as magic. This makes it easier to traverse difficult areas. Generally speaking, the more defense your character has the more value you can get out of each point of health you have, so it's important to improve your armor as much as possible.

To upgrade your armor, head to any of the Great Fairy Fountains in the game. There are four Great Fairy Fountains within the game and in order to unlock them all, you must complete an additional quest involving the Stable Trotters. Once you've completed the main quest, and the corresponding fountains, you'll have the option of talking to any Great Fairy in order to unlock the menu for upgrading armor.

The amount of materials required to upgrade each piece of armor will differ. You'll require anything from three Red Chuchu jellies and 10 Rupees to upgrade your first armor piece, and anywhere between five Rubies or 10 Fire-Breath Horns to upgrade the next one. For example the Champion Leathers can be upgraded to +5 defense, which allows you to keep pace with a large group of adversaries in most cold environments and the Snowquill Headdress can be upgraded all the way to +20 defense, providing you enough protection to withstand a full on raid with a few friends.

You can't upgrade armor in the same way as weapons. If you're playing as a Warrior then you should concentrate on upgrading your armor for physical power or the power of spells. It is recommended to save your armor upgrades to upgrade the armor that you'll still be wearing at the end of the story, such as the Ring of Lightning, Spectral Shield or the mask you use in the final boss fight the Monter Parts Merchant Mask.

You can also gain advantages to your armor by presenting the jeweler at Gerudo Town 10 Twinkling Titanite. It is generally recommended to save these upgrades for the weapon that you'll use to win the game. For example, the Longsword or Battleaxe. However, it's beneficial to have some upgrades to the armor on your chest and helmets to let you escape some monsters.

Potions

Potions are liquid substances that, when consumed provide the user with the illusion of status for a few minutes. There are five types of potions, each with specific effects and durations. Some potions may be upgraded, increasing the effectiveness of their effects. You can also enhance the effects of certain potions by adding glowstone dust and redstone.

Upgrades to your potion require a specific amount of XP. This can be obtained by making them on a crafting table or by storing them in the Alchemist chest. The upgrade price varies depending on the type of potion used and 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 where you can choose the potions you wish to upgrade and the amount of XP they will produce when upgraded. Upgrades to potions can be made in batches of up to five at a time, and the XP they earn will be added to your current XP level.

When a poton is upgraded and stored, it will not degrade in the event that you take it out again or break the bottle within the container it is kept. Clicking on the potion in your inventory will also allow you to change its name.

There were a few changes to the mechanics of potion in version 1.7.2. For instance splash potions now have a duration of 0:08 (this is not the same as the 22.5 seconds shown on the item hover display). The potion table can now be made using four Wood Planks and two Glass. This allows it to be used by players playing Survival and Bedrock. Bedrock Edition potions aren't compatible with cauldrons, unlike Java Edition. Also, putting a potion on a full cauldron, it drains the contents and replenishes the bottle.

In addition, there are lingering potions that are brewed using splash and dragon breath potions. Similar to lingering potions, the' effect is extended by adding redstone. 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 and decomposition.

Trinkets

A trinket is a small and inexpensive ornament or piece of jewelry. It could also refer to a small ornament or object that serves a purpose, but isn't essential such as a thimble. In some traditions, trinkets are used to symbolize affection or friendship, specifically between family members.

In addition to armor, weapons and potions, players are able to upgrade their trinkets. These can be upgraded by going to 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 statistics.

Upgrade vendors can be found at the capitals of every zone and in some cases in dungeons. Upgrades for trinkets are available with gold, tokens, or fragments from trinkets that are rare.

Upgrades are a cheaper alternative to buying a brand new trinket. A player can upgrade their trinket for as little as 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.

Trinkets can be re-upgraded once they're no longer useful and allows players to increase their power and worth over time. They can also be traded between players, making them an extremely popular alternative to gold.

Players should upgrade their most important items first. This usually means the best-in-slot items for their class, followed by their secondaries, and finally other items of gear will not be replaced soon (for example, a ring or cloak). When deciding on the items to upgrade, players should take into account the preferred statistics of their class. If Haste and Crit are two of the most important stats for tank players then they should consider upgrading their chest, helm, and shoulders.

After they've become unusable trinkets are able to be upgraded to a greater level. The new trinket has an additional bonus of 1. However, a re-upgrade will cause the trinket to be destroyed until it is salvaged with the Black Lion Salvage Kit or a higher-tier salvage tool. Upgrades to trinkets are more expensive than other upgrades, but still less expensive than purchasing an entirely new trinket.
