11 Ways To Completely Revamp Your Item Upgrading
World of Warcraft - Item Upgrading
The item upgrader upgrade lets players increase the gear rating of an item up 700 points, and then give it a bonus. Items can be upgraded by having them in inventory before heading to the kiln.
Certain items are worth upgrading due to their unique stats. (For instance, a perfectly roll breakpoint armor is used in melee PvP). Other items, like weapons don't change much after an upgrade, and aren't worth it.
Weapons
Upgrades to weapons can improve their numerical stats, including attack damage, crit chance, and PvE/PvP damage. Weapons also come with a flat bonus which increases their damage per second. In addition some weapons come with a set bonus which is activated when three or more of the same weapon is present on a single unit. In some instances, this bonus could add up to more than the amount of damage that a weapon upgrades by itself.
The cost of upgrading a weapon is contingent on its rarity as well as its current level. For instance, a +2 weapon will require two standard Smithing Stones while a+3 requires four. The number of stones required to upgrade a weapon will continue to increase until it is required to use the higher level of Smithing Stones, at which point it will reset to one.
Upgrades to weapons can also reroll the stats of the base. While this is generally an excellent thing but it can also have negative consequences too. In the case of items that only see use in a particular build (Whistant's shield for FB sorcs, for instance), upgrading them may render them useless unless you get a lucky roll.
Armor items can also be upgraded to increase their performance. This can increase the base defense of a chest or helm, while belts and gloves will boost their required strength and agility. Armor has a rerolling option for its Enhanced Defense%. This means that it is able to reroll down to a lower value.
The upgrade template for a weapon displays the new stats it will gain upon upgrading in addition to their respective values. This means that a change from an 8 attack-damage sword to an 11-attack-damage sword would result in the weapon gaining 33% attack damage. However, the 3% doesn't mean that it will be hit for 3 times less often as it is an absolute number.
Rerolling a weapon is also possible by pressing the green button within the item level upgrade menu, using the arrows that are circling. This will reroll the item and alter its stats but it won't reset the weapon's levels or connect to the status of your account.
Armor
Adding a few upgrades to your armor can make a a huge difference in your capacity to withstand. Certain sets can provide MASSIVE increases in resistance to poison, curses and fire as well as magic. This can make it easier to get through difficult terrains. The more defense your character has the more value you will get out of each point of health you possess therefore it is important to upgrade your armor as often as you can.
To upgrade your armor, head to any of the Great Fairy Fountains in the game. There are four Great Fairy Fountains available in the game and in order to unlock each one you have to complete an additional quest that involves the Stable Trotters. After you've completed your main quest, and the corresponding fountains, you'll be able to talk to any Great Fairy in order to unlock the menu for upgrading armor.
Each piece of armor can be upgraded to three levels and the amount of material and Rupees required to complete each level will differ. It is possible to use anything from three Red Chuchu jellies and 10 Rupees to upgrade the first armor piece, and between five Rubies or 10 Fire-Breath Lizalfos Horns to upgrade the next one. For instance, the Champion Leathers can be upgraded to +5 defense, which allows you to keep pace with a decent-sized group of enemies in the majority of cold climates and the Snowquill Headdress can be upgraded up to +20 defense, giving you enough protection to withstand a full on raid with a few friends.
Be aware that armor can't be upgraded the same way as weapons, so you'll want to concentrate on upgrading it for physical power if you're Warrior or Spell Power when you're a Mage. You should also save your armor upgrades to upgrade the armor that you'll still wear at the end of the story, such as the Ring of Lightning, Spectral Shield or the mask you'll wear in the final boss fight The Monter Parts Merchant Mask.
By giving the jeweler 10 Twinkling Titanite in Gerudo Town in Gerudo Town, you can unlock perks for your armor. You'll typically want to keep these upgrades for the weapon you'll use to beat the game. For instance, the Longsword or Battleaxe. However, it's beneficial to have some upgrades for the armor on your chest and helmets to let you escape some monsters.
Potions
Potions are bottled substances that, when consumed, give the user an effect on their status for a short period of time. There are five types of potions, each having specific effects and durations. Certain potions can be upgraded, enhancing the effectiveness of their effects. You can also enhance the effects of certain potions by adding redstone dust and glowstone dust.
Upgrades to your potion require a specific amount of XP. This can be obtained through crafting them on a table, or by storing them in the Alchemist chest. The upgrade price varies depending on the type of potion used and the item upgrader's rarity and Mark Level.
To upgrade a potion, right-click on it in your inventory and select the "Upgrade" option from the menu. This opens an GUI in which you can select the potions you want to upgrade and the amount of XP they will produce when upgraded. You can upgrade potions in batches of up to five at a time, and their XP will be added to the total amount of XP you have.
Once a poton is upgraded, it will not degrade until you take it out again or break the bottle within the container it is stored. You can also change the name of the potion by clicking on it in your inventory.
Version 1.7.2 brought a few changes to the mechanism of potions. Splash potions, for example are now available with a time of that is 0:08 instead of 22.5 seconds shown on the hover display of the item. The potion table is constructed from four Wood Planks, and two Glass. This allows it to be used by players playing Survival and Bedrock. Unlike the Java Edition, Bedrock edition potions can't be combined in cauldrons. Similarly, using a potion on a full cauldron drains the potion and replenishes the bottle.
Lastly, there are now lingering potions that are made using splash and dragon breath potions. Redstone can also be added to lingering potions to extend their effects. The table of potion ingredients has been 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 can be a small, inexpensive ornament or piece of jewelry. It could be a reference to an object or ornament that serves a purpose but isn't particularly significant like a trinket. In certain traditions, trinkets are used to symbolize friendship or affection, especially between family members.
In addition to armor, weapons, and potions, players can upgrade their trinkets. They can be upgraded by visiting an upgrade vendor and paying the appropriate amount in currency. Unlike other item upgrades trinkets are able to be traded out at any time without losing their stats.
The upgrade vendors can be found in major cities and the capital of each zone, as well as in some instances in dungeons. Upgrades for trinkets are purchased with gold, tokens or fragments of a rare trinket.
The upgrade of a trinket can be a cost-effective alternative to purchasing an entirely new one. It is possible to upgrade a player for as little as 12 tokens. The new trinket will come with the same base ilvl of the old one, and will have an additional upgrade bonus of 1.
Trinkets can be re-upgraded once they are not needed, allowing a player to increase their power and worth over time. They can be traded between players and are a viable 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 then other gear items that they will not be replacing in the near future (for instance rings or cloaks). When deciding on which items to upgrade, players must also take into account their class's preferred statistics. If Haste and Crit are two of the most important stats for tank players, then they should upgrade their helm, chest 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. Re-upgrading will cause the trinket to be destroyed unless it can be salvaged with the Black Lion Salvage Kit, or a salvage tool. This makes upgrading trinkets more expensive than other upgrades, yet is still cheaper than buying a new one.
