What The Heck Is Item Upgrades?

World of Warcraft Item Upgrades

The upgrading of your items is a crucial part of equipping your character. Upgrades boost the base damage and enchantments of items.

They also offer rewards and upgrades. They are available by contacting the Blacksmith.

Players can recycle any item by pressing the upgrade button on it. Every item recycled adds level to the upgrade gauge.

Weapons

If a weapon is upgraded, it will gain a base damage bonus and an increase in the scaling factor that affects other stats. The weapon could also gain a number of upgrade components that offer additional effects or attributes as well as distinctive cosmetic effects. These upgrades can be slotted into armor, weapons, trinkets, or gathering tools. Most require that the equipment has an upgrade slot available and meet certain requirements. The upgrade component can be removed from a weapon, armor or trinket, but it cannot be replaced. (Except for  item upgrades ). Upgrade components can be found by using the Black Lion Salvage Kit, Ascended Salvage tool, or a higher-tier salvaging tool for an item.

A weapon can also be upgraded to include a Calibration attribute that improves certain stats, like Weakspot damage or Crit Rate. This is done through the Gear Workbench interaction menu. Based on the tier of the weapon it can be done up to four times.

After the weapon has reached its maximum level of improvement and is then modified to give different bonuses and effects, or to improve specific stats. These upgrades can be applied at once, and their effects will vary depending on how rare the weapon is.

Two Blacksmiths can perform these upgrades in the game: Blacksmith Iji on the Road to the Manor Site of Grace and Smithing Master Hewg at the Church of Elleh hub. Both upgrade materials differ: Smithing Stones to modify the damage weapon does and Somber Smithing Stones to alter the standard weapons.

In general, it's best to increase the damage of your weapon first. Then you can increase your armour defense and finally the secondary stats required by your build. In particular, it is common to see melee druids upgrading their weapon prior to any other gear, since this helps maximise DPS. This is especially relevant for enchantments that enhance a weapon's stats and damage.

Armor

Item Upgrades let players enhance the base stats of certain pieces of armor, weapons, trinkets and gathering tools. These upgrades can also give additional effects, like an increase in damage or a cosmetic enhancement. Item Upgrades can be obtained by crafting, purchasing from NPC vendors, or in loot drops, or as quest rewards.

Armor can be upgraded by visiting the Armorer NPC and spending appropriate currency. Most of the time the armor will be upgraded to next level after an upgrade is applied. Most armor types can be upgraded, but some items (such as the armor used to start in Great Sky Island) cannot.


Most armor upgrades increase the item's strength or defense by just a little. Some upgrade components, however can result in significant increases in defense or strength. This is particularly true when upgrading epic items.

Some upgrades provide specific abilities that can be activated while wearing armor. These abilities can prove beneficial in combat. For example they can increase the speed of attack or block. Certain upgrades also have passive effects, for instance reducing the amount of damage sustained while wearing armor or granting a chance to dodge attacks.

Based on the type of armor being used, upgrading an item could require multiple attempts. For instance for instance, if a player wants to upgrade a Steelclash armor to Dragonscale the first attempt will result in a brand new piece of Dragonscale with a base defense between 59 and 67. The second attempt will result in a brand new Dragonscale armor that has an initial defense of 67-77, and the list goes on.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild lets players upgrade their armor sets to level 4. To do this it is necessary to visit each of the four locations known as Great Fairy Fountains in the game. Each of these locations is home to a powerful fairy who can upgrade a piece of armor for the player.

Contrary to popular belief, armor in The Division 2 is not in any way useless. The truth is that some armors provide significant increases in poison, curse, fire or magic damage reduction, making them extremely useful for specific builds. There are other methods to boost the stats of armor besides upgrading armor, such as using the engineer attribute to increase armor penetration or the challenger trait to decrease total weight.

Potion

By placing a potion on the stand for brewing, you will be able to unlock new effects. The upgrade opens a different tier of potion effects, and is able to be repeated to increase the potency.

The potion also has a custom color code which the player can choose by using /give. This affects area-of-effect clouds and arrows produced by the potions. In Bedrock Edition, the custom color code of the potion is also applied to the effects of the particles in the potions.

The water bottle, a common, thick and awkward potions now have a new texture for brewing. In the Creative Inventory, potion healing and potion weakness are now available. Addition of lingering potions, which can be brewed using splash potions or Dragon breath. Also added is a thick potion that has the status effect Mining Fatigue. Bug Tracker is the place to report any issues related to this patch.

Trinket

A trinket is an inexpensive ornament or piece of jewelry. This can be a ring, necklace or even a small flag that is used to mark a boat's lateen yard. It could also refer to an gilded trinket attached to the mast of a boat.

This macabre trinket is believed to be influencing the denizens of this maze which makes them more prevalent. The trinket, at present, makes all types Xx of replicas more popular and gives each floor an Y% chance that it will contain an ebony copy. Upgrades to this trinket cost a moderate amount energy.

The magic of this enchanted scepter seems to be affecting the dungeon itself which makes it more likely to generate grass and water. This trinket at the current level, will cause X% of the regular floors to be filled with grass or water. It will not affect glyphs, enchantments or cursed weapons or armor, or items that are generated to help solve danger rooms.

This item, which looks like a newt's eyes is believed to affect your vision in a manner that goes beyond just decreasing your field of view. At the present time, this trinket can increase the total health gained from drinking potions of healing, waterskins, and wells of health by X% and gives you eyesight on enemies within Y tiles. This is not a stacking feature with Heightened Senses.

After completing the Mastery Cave after completing the Mastery Cave, you can find Trinkets by defeating Monsters and inside chests and crates within Skull Cavern. They cannot be found in the Mines or Volcano Dungeon.

Place the trinket into the Anvil whenever it is required to be upgraded. This will cause an unintended impact on the trinket either extending its lifespan or enhancing its effects. You can reorge the trinket as often as you'd like however it will always have a new effect.

You can also improve your Trinkets by putting them in a magical catalyst at the Alchemy Station. This will cost you 6 energy and boost the trinket's power by a small amount.
