10 Things Everyone Hates About Item Upgrading
World of Warcraft - Item Upgrading
The upgrade option lets players boost the gear rating of an item up 700 points and also add a bonus. 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 distinctive stats. (For example the perfect broken point armor that is rolled can be used in melee PvP). Other items like weapons don't change much after an upgrade, and aren't worth the effort.
Weapons
Weapons can be upgraded to boost their numeric stats such as the chance to crit, attack damage, PvE and PvP damage. Weapons have a flat-rate bonus that increases damage per second. In addition there are many weapons with a set bonus that activates when three or more of the same weapon are present on a unit. This bonus could be more than the damage that a weapon upgrade alone can do.
The cost of upgrading a weapon is contingent on its rarity and level. For instance, an upgrade to a +2 weapon requires two regular Smithing Stones while a+3 requires four. The number of stones required to upgrade a gun will increase until it requires a higher level of Smithing Stones. At that point, it will reset back to one.
Upgraded weapons can also alter their base stats. While this is generally beneficial however, it could have negative consequences as well. Upgrades can make items unusable, unless you are very lucky.
It is possible to upgrade armor items to boost their effectiveness. For example, if you upgrade a helm or chest, it will boost the defense of its base, while gloves and belts will improve their required strength and dexterity. Armor also offers the option of rerolling its Enhanced Defense percentage, which means that it could change its roll to a lower value.
The upgrade template for a weapon will display the new stats that it will gain when upgraded in addition to their relative values. This means that a weapon will gain 3% attack damage if it is upgraded from an 8 attack damage sword to an 11 attack damage sword. However the 3% difference doesn't mean that it will strike for 3 fewer times because it's an absolute number.
Rerolling a weapon is also possible by pressing the green button within the item menu, using the circling arrows. This will roll an item and change its statistics, but it will not reset the weapon's levels or tie it to the account status.
Armor
A few armor upgrades can make all the difference to your survivability. Certain sets offer massive improvements in the resistance to curses, poisons fire, magic, and other. This can make it easier to navigate difficult areas. In general, the greater defense your character is, the more value you can get from every point of health you possess therefore it is important to improve your armor as often as you can.
You can upgrade your armor by visiting one of the Great Fairy Fountains. There are four Great Fairy Fountains available in the game, and to unlock them all, you have to complete an additional quest involving the Stable Trotters. After you've completed your main quest and the associated fountains, you can talk to any Great Fairy in order to unlock the armor upgrade menu.
Each piece of armor can be upgraded up to three levels and the amount of materials and Rupees required to complete each will vary. In general, you'll need at anything from three to ten Red Chuchu Jellies and ten Rupees for the first upgrade, and then anywhere from five Rubies and ten Fire-Breath Lizalfos Horns for each subsequent upgrade. The Champion Leathers, as an example, can be upgraded to a 5 defense rating, which will allow you to keep up in cold environments with a large group of enemies. The Snowquill Headdress, on the other hand, can be upgraded as high as +20 defense to ensure you're able to survive a battle with your comrades.
It's important to note that armor cannot be upgraded in the same way as weapons, so you'll need to concentrate on enhancing it to increase physical power if you're a Warrior or Spell Power in the case of a Mage. It is also recommended to save your armor upgrades to upgrade the armor you will still be wearing by the end of the story, for example the Ring of Lightning, Spectral Shield or the mask you'll wear in the final boss fight the Monter Parts Merchant Mask.
You can also get some advantages to your armor by presenting the jeweler in Gerudo Town 10 Twinkling Titanite. Generally speaking, you'll want to keep these upgrades for the weapon you'll be using to win the game, like the Longsword, Battleaxe or Warhammer however, it could be useful to have some improvements to the chest armor and helmets that let you stealthy battle some monsters.
Potions
Potions are liquids that, when consumed by the player, provide a temporary effect for a short period of time. There are five types of potions with different effects and durations. Certain potions can be upgraded to enhance their effectiveness. Additionally, the effects of some potions can be enhanced by adding redstone or glowstone dust to them.
Potion upgrades require a certain amount of XP. This can be earned through crafting them on a table or by storing them in the Alchemist chest. The cost of upgrading varies based on the type of potion used and the item's rarity as well as Mark Level.
To upgrade a potion simply right-click on it in your inventory. Then, select "Upgrade" from the menu. This will open an GUI that allows you to select the potion you want to upgrade and the amount of experience they will offer when upgraded. Upgrading potions can be done in batches of up to five at a time and the XP that they generate will be added to your current XP total.
Once a potion has been upgraded, it will not degrade until you use it again, or break the bottle it's stored in. Clicking on the potion in your inventory will allow you to rename it.
There were some changes to potion mechanics in version 1.7.2. Splash potions, for instance have now a duration of that is 0:08 instead of 22.5 seconds displayed on the hover display of the item. The potion table can now be constructed using four Wood Planks and two Glass. This allows it to be utilized by players in Survival and Bedrock. Bedrock Edition potions aren't compatible with cauldrons like Java Edition. Similarly, using a potion on a full cauldron, it drains the contents and refills the bottle.
There are also simmering potions made using splash and dragon breath potions. Similarly, a lingering potions effect can be extended by adding redstone. The potion table is now organized more closely to the Java Edition, and new potions were added such as the potion of leaping, the potion of decomposition, and turtle master potions.
Trinkets
A trinket could be an ornament that is small and inexpensive or piece of jewelry. It can also refer to an ornament or object that serves a purpose, but isn't important such as a Thimble. In some cultures, a trinket is used to show affection or friendship between family members.
Players can upgrade trinkets in addition to weapons, armor, and potions. Upgrades can be obtained by paying the appropriate currency to an upgrade vendor. In contrast to other upgrades for items, trinkets can be exchanged at will without losing their status.
item upgrades are located at the capitals of each zone, and sometimes in dungeons. Upgrades for trinkets are offered with tokens, gold, or fragments from a rare trinket.
Upgrades to trinkets are an affordable alternative to buying a new one. It is possible to upgrade the player for just 12 tokens. The new trinket comes with the same level of base as the old trinket but it also comes with an additional 1% bonus upgrade.
Trinkets can be upgraded once they are no longer needed and allows players to increase their power and worth over time. They can be traded among players, making them an alternative to gold.
In general players should make upgrades to their highest priority items first. This usually means the best-in-slot items for their class, followed by their secondaries, and finally other pieces of gear that will not be replaced in the near future (for instance, a ring or cloak). Players should also take into consideration their class's preferred stats when selecting the items to upgrade. For instance If Haste and Crit are the two most important stats for a tank, they should be focusing on upgrading their chest, helm, shoulders, and belt.
When they are no longer useful trinkets are able to be upgraded to a greater level. The new trinket comes with an additional 1% bonus. Re-upgrading will destroy the trinket unless it can be saved using the help of a Black Lion Salvage Kit, or a higher tier salvage tool. Upgrades to trinkets are more expensive than other upgrades, but still cheaper than buying new ones.
