20 Tips To Help You Be Better At Item Upgrading
World of Warcraft - Item Upgrading
The upgrade item option allows players to boost an item's gear rating up 700 points, and then add a final 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 example, a perfectly roll breakpoint armor is used in melee PvP). Other items, like weapons aren't changed much after an upgrade and aren't worth it.
Weapons
Weapons can be upgraded to boost their numeric stats, such as the chance to crit, attack damage as well as PvE and damage from PvP. Weapons come with a flat-rate bonus that increases damage per second. A lot of weapons also come with an unaffected bonus that is activated when three or more identical weapons are equipped in a single unit. This bonus can sometimes be more than the damage a weapon upgrade can do on its own.
The cost of upgrading a weapon is based on the nature of the weapon as well as its current level. For instance the weapon with a +2 rating will require two regular Smithing Stones to upgrade while the +3 model requires four. The number of stones required to upgrade the weapon will continue to increase until it requires a higher tier of Smithing Stones, at which the number will be reset to one.
Upgrades to weapons also alter the stats of their base. While this is generally a good thing, it can have some negative consequences too. For items that only see use in a particular build (Whistant's shield for FB Sorcs, for example), upgrading them may render them useless unless you happen to have an extremely lucky roll.
Armor items can be upgraded to improve their performance. This can increase the defense of a chest or helm as well as belts and gloves. These will increase their required strength and agility. Armor has a rerolling option for its Enhanced Defense percent. This means that it can sometimes reduce its value.
The upgrade template of a weapon will display the new stats that it will gain after upgrading along with the relative values of those stats. This means that an upgrade from a sword that has 8 damage to an 11-attack-damage sword would result in a weapon gaining an attack damage of 3. However the 3% difference doesn't mean that it will hit for 3 times less often because it's an absolute statistic.
A weapon can also be rerolled by pressing the green button with arrows that circle in the menu for items. This will reroll an item and alter its stats, but it will not reset the weapon's levels, or bind it to account status.
Armor
Making a few improvements to your armor can make a huge difference in your ability to endure. Certain sets offer massive increases in poison or curse, fire, and magic resistance, making it easier to navigate through tough terrain. In general, the greater defense you can offer your character, the greater health you can receive from each point. Therefore, it is recommended to upgrade your armor.
To upgrade your armor, head to any of the Great Fairy Fountains in the game. There are four in total, and each requires you to complete a special side quest that involves the Stable Trotters musical troupe. After you've completed the main side quest and mastered the fountain that corresponds, you can then contact any Great Fairy to open up the armor upgrading menu.
The amount of materials needed to upgrade items each piece of armor will vary. You'll require anything between three Red Chuchu jelly and 10 Rupees to upgrade your first armor piece, and between five Rubies or ten Fire-Breath Lizalfos Horns to upgrade the next one. For example the Champion Leathers could be upgraded to +5 defense, allowing you to keep up with a good-sized group of enemies in most cold climates, and the Snowquill Headdress can be upgraded to +20 defense, giving you enough protection to withstand a full on raid with a few of your friends.
You can't upgrade armor like weapons. If you're playing as a Warrior, you should focus on upgrading your armor to increase physical strength or spell power. You should also save your armor upgrades to upgrade the armor you will still be wearing at the end of the story, for example the Ring of Lightning, Spectral Shield or the mask you use 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 some perks on your armor. In general, you should save these upgrades for the weapon you'll use to win the game, such as the Longsword, Battleaxe or Warhammer However, it is beneficial to have a few improvements to the chest armor and helmets to let you stealthy battle some monsters.
Potions
Potions are liquids that, when consumed by the participant, produce the player with a temporary effect. There are five different types of potions, each having particular effects and durations. Some potions can be upgraded, increasing their effectiveness. In addition the effects of certain potions can be enhanced by adding redstone or glowstone dust to them.
Upgrades to potion require a certain amount XP. This can be obtained through crafting them on a table or by placing them in the Alchemist chest. The cost of upgrading varies based on the type of potion and the item upgrading's rarity as well as 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'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 XP you have.
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 also allow you to rename it.
Version 1.7.2 introduced a few modifications to the way potions are used. Splash potions, for instance have now a duration of zero, not the 22.5 seconds that are displayed on the item hover display. The table of potion now crafted from 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, unlike Java Edition. This is the same for the use of a potion in a cauldron that is full. This will draw out the potion and refill the bottle.
There are also simmering potions made with dragon breath and splash potions. Redstone is also added to potions that are lingering to increase their effects. The potion table is now organized more closely to the Java Edition, and new potions were introduced, including the potion of leaping and the potion of decomposition, and turtle master potions.
Trinkets
A trinket can be an ornament that is small and inexpensive or piece of jewelry. It can also refer to an object or ornament that serves a purpose, but is not particularly significant, such as a tiny thimble. In some cultures a trinket is a way to express affection or friendship between family members.
Trinkets can be upgraded by players as well as weapons or armor, as well as potions. Upgrades can be purchased by paying the appropriate currency to an upgrade vendor. Unlike other item upgrades, trinkets can be traded out at any time without losing their status.
Upgrade vendors can be found at the capitals of every zone, and sometimes in dungeons. Upgrades for trinkets are offered with tokens, gold or fragments of trinkets that are rare.
The upgrade item of a trinket can be an economical alternative to buying new ones. You can upgrade their trinket for as little 12 tokens. The new trinket will have the same base level as the old trinket, however, it will also come with an additional 1% bonus upgrade.
Once the old Trinkets are not usable they can be upgraded. This allows a player to increase both their power and value over time. They can be traded between players, making them an alternative to gold.
In general, players should upgrade their top-priority items first. This means that the best-in slot items for each class are first upgraded, followed by their secondary gear, and then other pieces of equipment they will not replace anytime soon (such as an earring or a cloak). When deciding which items to upgrade players should also consider the preferred statistics of their class. For example If Haste and Crit are the two most important stats for tanks, they should be focusing on upgrading their helm, chest shoulders, belt, and helm.
Trinkets are able to be upgraded to a higher ilvl after they no longer have value, and the new trinket will receive an additional 1% upgrade bonus. However, a re-upgrade can destroy the old trinket, unless it is saved using a Black Lion Salvage Kit or a higher-tier salvage tool. This means upgrading trinkets is more expensive than other upgrades, yet is still cheaper than buying an entirely new trinket.
