10 Things Everyone Hates About Item Upgrading
World of Warcraft - Item Upgrading
The item upgrade lets players increase the gear rating of an item by up 700 points and also give it a bonus. Items can be upgraded if they're in your inventory and you bring them to the Kiln.
Certain items are worth upgrading due to their unique stats. (For instance, a perfectly broken point armor that is rolled can be used in melee PvP). Other items like weapons aren't changed much after an upgrade and therefore aren't worth it.
Weapons
Weapons can be upgraded to increase their numeric stats, such as damage to attack, crit chance as well as PvE and PvP damage. Weapons also come with a flat bonus which increases the damage they deal per second. item upgrading come with a fixed bonus which is activated when three or more identical weapons are used in a single unit. In some instances, this bonus could amount to more than the amount of damage a weapon is able to upgrade on its own.
The cost of upgrading a weapon depends on its rarity as well as its current level. For instance, a +2 weapon will require two regular Smithing Stones to upgrade while the +3 model requires four. The number of stones required to upgrade the gun will increase until it needs more Smithing Stones. At that point it will reset to one.
The upgrade of weapons can also change their base stats. This is usually a good thing, but it can also have negative consequences. Upgrades can render items inaccessible, unless you're extremely lucky.
It is possible to upgrade armor items to increase their performance. For instance, if you have a helm or chest, it will boost its defense base while gloves and belts increase their strength and dexterity. Armor also offers an option to reroll its Enhanced Defense%, meaning that it could change its roll to a lower value.
The upgrade template for a weapon displays the new stats that it will gain when upgraded in addition to their respective values. This means that an upgrade from a sword with 8 damage to an 11-attack-damage sword will result in a weapon gaining an attack damage of 3. However the 3% does not mean that it will strike for 3 times less often as it is an absolute statistic.
A weapon can be rerolled by pressing the green button with circling arrows in the menu for items. This will roll an item and change its statistics, but it will not reset the weapon's levels, or connect it to an account's status.
Armor
A few upgrades to your armor can make all the difference in your ability to survive. Certain sets offer massive increases in poison or curse, fire, and magic resistance, which can make it easier to navigate through tough terrain. Generally speaking, the more defense your character has the more value you can get from every point of health you have and it's crucial to upgrade your armor as much as you can.
You can upgrade your armor by visiting one of the Great Fairy Fountains. There are four in total, and each requires you to complete a special side quest that involves the Stable Trotters musical troupe. Once you've done the main side quest and have completed the corresponding fountain and then you can talk to any Great Fairy to open up the menu for upgrading your armor.
The amount of material needed to upgrade each piece of armor will differ. You'll require anything between three Red Chuchu jelly and 10 Rupees to upgrade the first armor piece, and between five Rubies or 10 Fire-Breath Horns to upgrade each subsequent one. The Champion Leathers, as an example can be upgraded to a 5 defense rating, which will allow you to remain competitive in frigid environments with a lot of enemies. The Snowquill Headdress, on the other is able to be upgraded as high as +20 defense so that you can survive a raid with friends.
It's important to note that armor cannot be upgraded the same way as weapons, so you'll need to focus on upgrading it to gain physical power if you're a Warrior or Spell Power in the case of a Mage. You should also save your armor upgrades to upgrade the armor that you'll still be wearing by 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 benefits to your armor by giving the jeweler in Gerudo Town 10 Twinkling Titanite. 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 a few improvements to the helmets and chest armor that allow you to stealth around certain monsters.
Potions
Potions are liquids that when consumed by a player, provide the player with a temporary effect for a short period of time. There are five different types of potions, each having specific effects and durations. Certain potions can be upgraded, increasing their level of effect. You can also increase the effects of certain potions by including glowstone dust and redstone.
Potion upgrades require a certain amount of XP. This can be obtained by making them on a craft 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 simply right-click on it in your inventory. Then select "Upgrade" from the menu. This will open a GUI that lets you choose the potion that you would like to upgrade and the amount of experience they'll offer when upgraded. Upgrading potions can be done in batches of up to five at a time and the XP they provide will be added to your current XP count.
Once a poton is upgraded in quality, it will not deteriorate unless you take it out again or break the bottle within the container it is kept. Clicking on the potion in your inventory will allow you to change the name of the potion.
Version 1.7.2 introduced a few changes to the mechanism of potions. For instance, splash potions now have the duration of 0.08 seconds (this is not the same as the 22.5 seconds that are displayed on the hover display of the item). The table for potion is now crafted from four Wood Planks, and two Glass. It can be utilized in both Survival and Bedrock. Bedrock Edition potions are not compatible with cauldrons, unlike Java Edition. The same is true for using a potion in an empty cauldron. This will deplete the potion and refill the bottle.
In addition, there are lingering potions, which are made using splash and dragon breath potions. In the same way, a lingering potion effect can be extended by adding redstone. The table of potions is laid out more in line with the Java Edition, and new potions were added such as the potion of leaping and the decomposition potion, and turtle master potions.
Trinkets
A trinket can be a small, inexpensive ornament or piece jewelry. It may be a reference to a piece of art or a decoration that serves a purpose, but isn't particularly significant like a thimble. In some cultures, trinkets are used to signify affection or friendship, particularly between family members.
Trinkets can be upgraded by players as well as weapons and armor, as well as potions. These can be upgraded by visiting an upgrade vendor and paying the appropriate amount in currency. In contrast to other upgrades for items, trinkets can be traded out at any time without losing their status.
The upgrade vendors can be found in major cities and in the capital of each zone, and in in dungeons. Upgrades for trinkets are purchased using tokens, gold or fragments of a rare trinket.
Upgrades to trinkets are a cost-effective alternative to purchasing a new one. It is possible to upgrade players for less than 12 tokens. The new trinket will come with the same base ilvl as the old one, and will come with an additional 1% upgrade bonus.
When the old Trinkets are no longer usable they can be upgraded. This allows a player to increase both their power and value over time. They can be traded between players and are a viable alternative to gold.
In general players should make upgrades to their top-priority items first. This usually refers to the most valuable-in-slot items for their class, followed by their secondary items and finally, other gear items that they will not be replacing soon (for example rings or cloaks). It is also important to consider your class's preferred stats when deciding the items to upgrade. If Haste and Crit are two of the most important stats to a tank player then they should consider upgrading their chest, helm and shoulders.
Trinkets can be re-upgraded to a higher ilvl after they are no longer useful and the new trinket will receive an additional 1% upgrade bonus. However, a re-upgrade can ruin the previous trinket until it is salvaged with the Black Lion Salvage Kit or an alternative salvage tool that is higher-end. Upgrades to trinkets are more expensive than other upgrades, but still less expensive than buying an entirely new trinket.
