10 Myths Your Boss Has Regarding Item Upgrading
World of Warcraft - item upgrader Upgrading
The upgrade option lets players increase an item's gear rating up 700 points and also add a final bonus. Items can be upgraded by keeping them in inventory and heading to the kiln.
Certain items are worth upgrading due to their unique stats. (For example the perfect broken point armor that is rolled can be used in melee PvP). Other items like weapons don't really change after an upgrade and therefore aren't worth the effort.
Weapons
Upgrades to weapons can improve their numerical stats, such as attack damage, crit chance and PvE/PvP damage. Weapons have a flat-rate bonus that increases damage per second. Many weapons also have a fixed bonus which is activated when three or more identical weapons are placed in a single unit. This bonus can sometimes be greater than the damage that a weapon upgrade alone can cause.
The cost of upgrading a weapon is contingent on its rarity 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 needed to upgrade a weapon will continue to increase until it is required to use the higher level of Smithing Stones, at which the amount will be reset to one.
The upgrade of weapons can also change their base stats. While this is generally an excellent thing however, it could have negative consequences too. Upgrades can make things impossible to use, unless you are extremely lucky.
It is possible to upgrade armor items to improve their effectiveness. For example, if you upgrade chests or helms, this will increase its defense base while gloves and belts will enhance their required strength and dexterity. Armor also has the option of rerolling its Enhanced Defense%, meaning that it can sometimes reroll to a lower value.
The upgrade template of a weapon will show the new stats that it will gain upon upgrading, along with the values of these stats. 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. The 3% does not mean that the weapon will strike 3 times less, as it is an absolute number.
Rerolling a weapon can be possible by pressing the green button within the item level upgrade menu with the circling arrows. This will reroll the item upgrading and alter its stats but it won't reset the weapon's level nor bind to account status.
Armor
A few upgrades to your armor can make the world of difference to your survival. Certain sets can offer MASSIVE increases in poison, curse, fire and magic resistance, which can make it easier to navigate through tough terrain. Generally speaking, the more defense your character is, the more value you get out of each point of health you have and it's crucial to upgrade item your armor as much as possible.
You can upgrade your armor by visiting any of the Great Fairy Fountains. There are four of them each of which 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 in question and then you can talk to any Great Fairy to open up the menu for upgrading your armor.
The amount of materials required to upgrade each piece of armor will vary. In general, you're looking at anywhere between three Red Chuchu Jellies and ten Rupees for the initial upgrade, then anywhere between five Rubies and 10 Fire-Breath Lizalfos Horns for each subsequent one. For example, the Champion Leathers can be upgraded to +5 defense, allowing you to keep up with a large group of enemies in most cold conditions and the Snowquill Headdress can be upgraded up to +20 defense, providing you enough protection to withstand a full on raid with a handful of friends.
You can't upgrade your armor the same as weapons. If you're playing as a Warrior it is best to focus on upgrading your armor for physical strength or the power of spells. It's also a good idea to save your armor upgrades for armor you'll be wearing at the end of the game, such as the Ring of Lightning and Spectral Shield, or the helmet you use to fight the final boss as well as the Monter Parts merchant's mask.
You can also get some benefits to your armor by presenting the jeweler in Gerudo Town 10 Twinkling Titanite. You'll typically want to keep these upgrades for the weapon you'll be using to win the game. For instance the Longsword or Battleaxe. It's nevertheless beneficial to have a few upgrades to the helmets and chest armor to allow you to get around a few monsters.
Potions
Potions are liquid substances that, when consumed give the player an effect on their status for a short period of time. There are five types of potions with different effects and durations. Some potions can be upgraded, increasing the effectiveness of their effects. Alternatively the effects of some potions can be enhanced by adding redstone or glowstone dust them.
Upgrades to potion cost a certain amount of XP. These can be earned by crafting them on a table or in the Alchemist's chest. The price of upgrades varies based on the type of potion and the item's rarity as well as Mark Level.
To upgrade a potions you need to right-click it in your inventory. Select "Upgrade" from the menu. This will open an GUI that allows you to select the potions that you want to upgrade and the amount of experience they'll give you when upgraded. The upgrade of potions can be completed in batches of up to five at a time and the XP that they generate will be added to your current XP level.
Once a potion is upgraded, it will not degrade until you use it again or break the bottle it is stored in. You can also change the name of the potion by clicking on it in your inventory.
There were a few updates to potion mechanics in version 1.7.2. Splash potions, for instance, now have a duration zero, not the 22.5 seconds shown on the hover display for the item. The potion table is now made of four Wood Planks, and two Glass. It is now able to be utilized in both Survival and Bedrock. Contrary to Java Edition, Bedrock edition potions cannot be used in cauldrons. Similarly, using a potion in a cauldron that is full drains the contents and replenishes the bottle.
Finally, there are lingering potions that are brewed using splash and dragon breath 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 added, such as the potion of leaping, the decomposition potion, and turtle master potions.
Trinkets
A trinket is an ornament that is small and inexpensive or piece jewelry. It could also refer to an object or ornament that serves a function but isn't essential such as a Thimble. In some cultures a trinket is used to express friendship or affection between family members.
Trinkets can be upgraded by players in addition to 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 are able to be exchanged at will without losing their status.
The upgrade vendors are found in major cities and the capital of each zone, and in in dungeons. Upgrades for trinkets can be purchased using tokens, gold, or fragments from trinkets that are rare.
Upgrades to trinkets are an affordable alternative to buying an entirely new one. One can upgrade a trinket with just 12 tokens. The new trinket has the same level of base as the previous trinket however, it will also come with an additional 1% bonus upgrade.
Trinkets can be upgraded when the old ones are not needed which allows a player to increase their power and value over time. They can also be traded between players, making them an attractive alternative to gold.
Players must upgrade their most valuable items first. This typically means the top-of-the-line items for their class, followed by their secondary items and finally, other gear items that they won't replace in the near future (for instance rings or cloaks). Players should also consider their class's preferred stats when choosing the items to upgrade items. For instance If Haste and Crit are the two most important stats for tankers it is recommended that they upgrade their helm, chest shoulders, belt, and chest.
After they've become unusable, trinkets can be upgraded to a higher level. The new trinket has an additional 1% bonus. However, a re-upgrade can ruin the previous trinket in the event that it is not saved using a Black Lion Salvage Kit or a higher-tier salvage tool. Upgrades to trinkets can be more expensive than other upgrades, but still less expensive than purchasing new ones.
