7 Things About Item Upgrading You ll Kick Yourself For Not Knowing
World of Warcraft - Item Upgrading
The upgrade of an item upgrader allows players to boost the gear score of an item upgrader mod 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 are worth upgrading due to their unique stats. (For example an excellently broken point armor that is rolled can be used in melee PvP). Other items such as weapons don't change much after an upgrade and aren't worth the cost.
Weapons
Weapons can be upgraded to boost their numeric stats, such as crit chance, attack damage PvE and damage from PvP. Weapons come with a flat-rate bonus that increases damage per second. Additionally some weapons come with an added bonus that is activated when three or more of the same weapon is present on a single unit. This bonus can sometimes be more than the damage that an upgrade can do on its own.
The cost of upgrading a weapon's capabilities is contingent on the quality of the weapon and its current level. For instance, an upgrade to a +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 amount will be reset to one.
Upgrades to weapons also change the stats of the base. While this is usually a good thing but it can also have negative effects as well. For items that only see use in a specific build (Whistant's shield for FB sorcs, for instance) upgrading them can make them unusable unless you get a fortunate roll.
Items of armor can also be upgraded to increase their effectiveness. This will increase the base defense of a chest or helm as well as belts and gloves. These will boost their required strength and agility. Armor has a rerolling feature for its Enhanced Defense%. 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 in addition to their respective values. This means that a change from a sword with 8 damage to an 11-attack-damage sword would result in a weapon receiving 33% attack damage. The 3% does not 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, which is accompanied by circling arrows in the item upgrader kit menu. This will roll the item and alter its stats, but it won't reset the weapon's level nor connect to the status of your account.
Armor
A few upgrades to your armor can make a huge difference to your survivability. Certain sets offer massive improvements in the resistance to curses, poisons and fire as well as magic. This makes it easier to get through difficult terrains. The more defense your character has the more value you will get from every point of health you have and it's crucial to improve your armor as much as possible.
To upgrade your armor, head to one of the Great Fairy Fountains in the game. There are four in total each of which requires you to complete a specific side quest that involves the Stable Trotters musical troupe. Once you've completed the primary side quest and mastered the fountain that corresponds and then you can speak to any Great Fairy to open up the menu for upgrading your armor.
Each piece of armor can be upgraded up to three levels, and the amount of materials and Rupees required for each level will differ. It is possible to use anything between three Red Chuchu jelly and 10 Rupees to upgrade the first armor piece, and anywhere between five Rubies or ten Fire-Breath Lizalfos Horns to upgrade the next one. For instance the Champion Leathers can be upgraded to +5 defense, allowing you to keep up with a large group of adversaries in most cold climates, and the Snowquill Headdress can be upgraded up to +20 defense, providing you enough protection to withstand an entire raid with a handful of friends.
Be aware that armor can't be upgraded the same way as weapons, so you'll need to focus on upgrading it to gain physical strength if you're a Warrior or Spell Power in the case of Mage. It's also a good idea to save your armor upgrades to use for armor you'll wear at the end of the game, such as the Ring of Lightning and Spectral Shield, or the helmet you wear to fight the final boss and the Monter Parts Merchant's mask.
By giving the jeweler 10 Twinkling Titanite in Gerudo Town and you will be able to unlock perks for your armor. Generally speaking, you'll want to keep these upgrades for the weapon you'll use to beat the game, like the Longsword, Battleaxe or Warhammer however, it could be useful to have a few improvements to the chest armor and helmets that permit you to sneak past certain monsters.
Potions
Potions are substances in bottles that, if consumed, give the player a temporary status effect. There are five types of potions, each with particular effects and durations. Certain potions can be upgraded, enhancing their effectiveness. Additionally, the effects of some potions can be enhanced by adding redstone or glowstone dust them.
Potion upgrades require a certain amount of XP. This can be obtained by making them on a craft table or by placing them in the Alchemist chest. The price of upgrades varies based on the type of potion as well as the item's rarity as well as Mark Level.
To upgrade a potion, click right on it in your inventory and select 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 yield when upgraded. You can upgrade potions in batches up to five at a time and their XP will be added to the total amount of XP you have.
When a poton is upgraded in quality, it will not deteriorate in the event that you make use of it again or break the bottle within which it is stored. Clicking on the potion in your inventory will also allow you to change its name.
There were a few changes to potion mechanics in version 1.7.2. Splash potions, for example, now have a duration zero, not the 22.5 seconds displayed on the hover display of the item upgrade. The potion table can now be made using four Wood Planks and two Glass. It can be used in both Survival and Bedrock. Bedrock Edition potions are not compatible with cauldrons, unlike Java Edition. This is the same for using a potion within an empty cauldron. This will draw out the liquid, and then refill the bottle.
There are also simmering potions made using dragon breath and splash potions. Similarly, a lingering potions' effect is extended by adding redstone to it. The table of potion ingredients is rearranged to look more like the Java Edition. New potions have also been added, like the potion of leaping as well as decomposition.
Trinkets
A trinket can be a small, inexpensive ornament or piece jewelry. It could be a reference to an object or decoration that serves a function but isn't particularly significant like a tiny thimble. In certain cultures, a trinket can be used to express friendship or affection between family members.
In addition to armor, weapons and potions, players can upgrade their trinkets. They can be upgraded by going to an upgrade vendor and paying the appropriate currency. Unlike other item upgrades trinkets are able to be exchanged at will without losing their status.
The upgrade vendors can be found in major cities and in the capital of each zone, as well as in some instances in dungeons. Upgrades for trinkets can be purchased with tokens, gold, or fragments from a rare trinket.
Upgrades are a less expensive alternative to buying a new trinket. It is possible to upgrade players for just 12 tokens. The new trinket has the same level of base as the old trinket, but will also have an additional bonus of 1% upgrade.
Trinkets can be upgraded once they are not needed and allows players to increase their power and value over time. They can also be traded between players and are an extremely popular alternative to gold.
In general players should make upgrades to their most important items first. This means that the best-in slot items for each class are upgraded first, followed by their secondary gear and other pieces of equipment they won't replace in the near future (such as an earring or a cloak). It is also important to consider your class's preferred stats when choosing which items to upgrade. For instance If Haste and Crit are the two most important stats for tanks, they should prioritize upgrading their helm, chest, shoulders, and belt.
Trinkets can be re-upgraded to a higher ilvl once they're no longer needed and the new trinket will have an additional 1% upgrade bonus. A re-upgrade, however, will cause the trinket to be destroyed unless it can be salvaged using the 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 the new one.
