5 Killer Quora Answers To Item Upgrading
From Dark Warriors Wiki
World of Warcraft - Item Upgrading
item upgrader kit upgrading - Informatic officially announced, allows players to increase an Best item upgrade's gear score up to 700 and add an additional perk. Items can be upgraded by having them in inventory, and then taking them to the kiln.
Certain items are worth upgrading because of their unique stats. (For example, a perfectly roll breakpoint armor is used in melee PvP). Other items such as weapons don't really change after an upgrade, and aren't worth it.
Weapons
Upgrades to weapons can improve their numerical stats, like attack damage, crit probability and PvE/PvP damage. Weapons come with 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 group. This bonus could be more than the damage a weapon upgrade alone can do.
The cost of upgrading a weapon is contingent on its rarity as well as its current level. For example the weapon with a +2 rating will require two regular Smithing Stones to upgrade while an upgrade of +3 requires four. The number of stones needed to upgrade a gun will increase until it needs more Smithing Stones. At that point, it will reset back to one.
Upgrades to weapons can also alter the stats of the base. This is usually a good thing, but it can also have negative consequences. For items that only see use in a specific build (Whistant's shield for FB Sorcs, for example), upgrading them may render them useless unless you get a fortunate roll.
Upgrades can be made to armor items to boost their effectiveness. For instance, if you have a helm or chest, it will boost the defense of its base, while gloves and belts will enhance their required strength and dexterity. Armor also has a reroll option for its Enhanced Defense percent, which means that it may change its roll to a lower value.
The upgrade template of a weapon will display the new stats that it will gain when upgrading, as well as the values of these stats. This means that the 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 hit 3 times less often, since it is an absolute statistic.
A weapon can also be rerolled using the green button with circling arrows in the menu for items. This will reroll the Best item upgrade and change its stats, but it won't reset the weapon's level or tie it to the account status.
Armor
Making a few improvements to your armor can make an enormous difference in your capacity to withstand. Certain sets can offer MASSIVE increases in poison, curse, fire and magic resistance, which can make the journey through difficult terrain a breeze. In general, the greater defense your character has the more value you get from each point of health you possess therefore it is important to improve your armor as much as you can.
To upgrade your armor, go to any of the Great Fairy Fountains in the game. There are four fountains in all each of which requires you to complete a specific side quest that involves the Stable Trotters musical troupe. After you've completed your main quest and the corresponding fountains, you'll have the option of talking to any Great Fairy in order to unlock the menu for upgrading armor.
The amount of materials needed to upgrade each piece of armor will vary. You'll require anything from three Red Chuchu jellies and 10 Rupees to upgrade your first armor piece, and anywhere between five Rubies or ten Fire-Breath Lizalfos Horns to upgrade each subsequent one. For example, the Champion Leathers can be upgraded to +5 defense, which allows you to keep up with a decent-sized group of enemies in the majority of cold environments 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 like weapons. If you're playing as a Warrior, you should focus on upgrading your armor for physical strength or spell power. It's also worthwhile to save your armor upgrades for armor you'll still be wearing at the end of the game, such as the Ring of Lightning and Spectral Shield, or the helmet you wear for the final boss fight, the Monter Parts Merchant's mask.
By giving the jeweler 10 Twinkling Titanite in Gerudo Town and you will be able to unlock perks for your armor. It is generally recommended to save these upgrades for the weapon you'll be using to win the game. For instance the Longsword or Battleaxe. However, it's beneficial to have some upgrades to the helmets and chest armor to let you get around a few monsters.
Potions
Potions are liquids that, when consumed by the participant, produce a temporary effect for a short period of time. There are five kinds of potions with different effects and durations. Some potions can be upgraded to enhance their effectiveness. You can also increase the effects of certain potions by including glowstone dust and redstone.
Potion upgrades cost a certain amount of XP. These can be earned by making them using a craft table or the chest of the Alchemist. The price of upgrades varies based on the type of potion as well as the item's rarity and Mark Level.
To upgrade a potion simply right-click on it in your inventory. Then, select "Upgrade" from the menu. This opens an GUI in which you can select the potions you want to upgrade and the amount of XP they'll produce 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 is upgraded and stored, it will not degrade until you make use of it again or break the bottle within the container it is kept. Clicking on the potion in your inventory will also allow you to change the name of the potion.
There were some changes to potion mechanics in version 1.7.2. For instance the splash potions now have an average duration of 0:08 (this is not the same as 22.5 seconds shown on the item upgrader kit hover display). The potion table can now be crafted with four Wood Planks and two Glass. This allows it to be used by players in Survival and Bedrock. Bedrock Edition potions are not compatible with cauldrons like Java Edition. This is the same for using a potion in an empty cauldron. This will drain the potion, and refill the bottle.
Finally, there are lingering potions that are made with splash and dragon breath potions. Redstone can also be added to lingering potions to extend their effect. The potion table is now laid out more in line with the Java Edition, and new potions were added, such as the potion of leaping and the decomposition potion, as well as turtle master potions.
Trinkets
A trinket can be a small, inexpensive ornament or piece jewelry. It could also refer to an ornament or object that serves a purpose, but isn't important such as a trinket. In some cultures a trinket is a way to express affection or friendship between family members.
Players can upgrade trinkets in addition to weapons and armor, as well as potions. They can be upgraded by going to an upgrade vendor and paying the appropriate currency. Trinkets, unlike other items that can be upgraded can be traded at will without losing statistics.
Upgrade vendors are located at the capitals of each zone and in some cases in dungeons. Upgrades for trinkets can be purchased with gold, tokens, or fragments from trinkets that are rare.
Upgrades are a cheaper alternative to buying a brand new trinket. You can upgrade a trinket for just 12 tokens. The new trinket will have the same level of base as the previous trinket however, it will also come with an additional bonus of 1% upgrade.
Once the old Trinkets have become not usable, they can be upgraded. This allows a player to increase their power and value with time. They can also be traded between players which makes them a popular alternative to gold.
In general players should make upgrades to their top-priority items first. This means that the most-important slot items for each class are first upgraded, followed by their secondary gear and other pieces of equipment that won't be replacing in the near future (such as rings or cloaks). Players should also consider their class's preferred stats when choosing the items to upgrade. If Haste and Crit are two of the most important stats to tank players and they want to upgrade their chest, helm and shoulders.
Trinkets are able to be upgraded to a higher level once they're no longer needed, and the new trinket will receive an additional 1% upgrade bonus. However, a re-upgrade will cause the trinket to be destroyed in the event that it is not salvaged using a Black Lion Salvage Kit or an alternative salvage tool that is higher-end. This means upgrading trinkets is more expensive than other upgrades, but is still cheaper than purchasing a new one.
