World of Warcraft Item Upgrades
Upgrades to items are an essential element of enhancing your character. Upgrades increase the base damage as well as the enchantments of items.
They also offer bonuses and improvements. They are available by contacting the Blacksmith.
The upgrade button is located on any item. Each item recycled adds a level to the gauge for upgrading.
Weapon
When a weapon is upgraded, it receives a base damage bonus, as well as an adjustment factor that affects other stats. The weapon may also be upgraded with a number of upgrade components, which provide additional attributes or effects as well as distinctive cosmetic effects. These upgrades can be inserted into weapons, armor, trinkets and gathering tools. Most require that the equipment have an available upgrade slot and meet certain requirements. Once a weapon or armor piece features an upgrade component within it, it can be upgraded with a different one, but the prior upgrade will be destroyed (except for legendary equipment and upgrades). Upgrade components can be recovered using a Black Lion Salvage Kit or an Ascended Salvage Tool, or using a salvage tool of high-end quality on the item itself.
A weapon can also be upgraded to include a calibration attribute that improves certain stats, such as Weakspot damage or Crit Rate. This can be done via the Gear Workbench interaction menu. Based on the level of the weapon, this can be done up to four times.
Once the weapon has reached maximum upgrade, it can be reforged with a number of different upgrade types to improve certain stats or add bonuses and effects. These upgrades can all be used simultaneously, and their effects will differ based on how rare the weapon is.
There are two Blacksmiths in the game that can perform these upgrades: Blacksmith Hewg in the Church of Elleh hub area, and Smithing Master Iji on the Road to the Manor Site of Grace. Both require different upgrade materials: Smithing Stones for standard weapons, and Somber Smithing Stones for modifying the damage a weapon can cause.
Generally, it is recommended to upgrade weapon damage first, followed by armour defense, and then the other secondary stats as required by your build. In particular, it is common to see melee druids enhancing their weapon before any other gear, since this helps maximise DPS. This is especially applicable to enchantments, which can be extremely efficient in increasing the weapon's damage and other stats.
Armor
Item Upgrades let players enhance the stats of certain weapons, armors trinkets, trinkets, or gathering tools. These upgrades can also give additional effects, like more damage or cosmetic enhancement. Item Upgrades are available through crafting, buying from NPC vendors, in loot drops or as rewards for quests.
Armor can be upgraded by visiting the Armorer NPC and spending appropriate currency. In most cases the armor will be upgraded to next level once an upgrade is applied. Most types of armor can be upgraded, however certain items (such as the armor used to start in Great Sky Island) cannot.
The majority of armor upgrades boost the item's strength or defense by just a little. Certain upgrade components, however can lead to significant increases in strength or defense. This is especially the case when upgrading epic items.
In addition to increasing the defense of an item, certain upgrades also offer special abilities that can be activated while wearing a piece of armor. These abilities can be useful in combat, such as providing a boost to attack speed or blocking. Certain upgrades can have passive effects that can be beneficial like reducing damage while wearing armor, or increasing the chance to dodge an attack.
Upgrades to armor could require multiple attempts, depending on the type of armor. For instance for instance, if a player wants to upgrade the strength of a Steelclash armor to Dragonscale, the first attempt would result in a new piece of Dragonscale with a base defense between 59-67. The second attempt will result in an Dragonscale armor with an initial defense range of between 67-77.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild allows players to upgrade their armor sets to level 4. To upgrade their armor, players must visit the four Great Fairy Fountains located in the game. Each of these locations has a powerful fair who can improve a piece of armor for you.
Contrary to what many believe it isn't a necessity in The Division 2. The truth is that certain armors come with very substantial enhancements to poison or curse, fire, or magic damage reduction, making them very useful for certain types of builds. There are other ways to improve armor stats beyond the use of upgradeable armor such as the engineer trait to boost armor penetration or the challenger trait to lower the weight of the entire armor.
Potion
A potion can be upgraded by placing it in an brewing stand in order to unlock new effects. The upgrade unlocks a brand new level of potion effects, and can be repeated for higher levels of potency.
The potion also has an individual color code, which the player can select via /give, and that affects area-of-effect clouds and arrows generated by the potions. In Bedrock Edition, the custom color of the potion also affects the effects of the potion's particle effects.
The water bottle, the mundane, thick and awkward potions now have a fresh texture for brewing. Added potion of weakness and potion of healing in Creative inventory. Added lingering potions that can be brewed with splash potions or dragon breath and a thick pot with the status effect Mining Fatigue (duration 4:00). Problems related to this update can be tracked on the Bug Tracker.
Trinket
A trinket could be a small, inexpensive ornament or piece jewelry. It could be a necklace, ring, or even a small flag used to identify a boat's lateen yard. It could also be a reference to a gold-plated trinket on the mast of a vessel.
This bizarre trinket seems to be influencing the residents of this maze by making them more common. At its current level the trinket makes all kinds of mimic Xx more popular and gives every floor an X% chance of having an ebony mimic. Upgrades to this trinket cost a moderate amount energy.
The magic of the enchanted scepter is believed to be affecting the dungeon itself, making it more likely to produce water and grass. This trinket at the current level, will cause X% of regular floors to be filled with water or grass. It doesn't alter glyphs, enchantments, cursed weapons or armor or items that are produced to help solve danger rooms.
This item, which appears like eyes of a newt, seems to affect your vision in a manner that goes beyond simply narrowing your field of vision. This trinket, at its current level, boosts the health benefits gained from drinking healing potion and wells of life by X%, and grants mind sight on enemies within the Y tile. This does not stack with Heightened Senses.
Skull Cavern is where you will find Trinkets after you've completed the Mastery Cave. You will find them when you defeat Monsters and in chests and crates. They are not available in the Mines or Volcano Dungeon.
Place the trinket in the Anvil whenever it is required to be upgraded. This will have an effect on the trinket which is random that will either enhance or intensify its effects. upgrade item can reorge the Trinket as many times as you like, but it will always be able to produce a new effect.
You can also improve your Trinkets by putting them in a Magical Catalyst located at the Alchemy Station. It will cost you 6 energy and increase the power of the trinket by a small amount.
