10 Things People Hate About Item Upgrading
World of Warcraft - Item Upgrading
The item upgrade lets players increase the gear rating of an Item upgrader Kit by up to 700 points and give it a bonus. Items can be upgraded by having them in inventory before heading to the kiln.
Certain items can be upgraded for their unique stats (like a perfectly rolled breakpoint armour used in melee PvP) and others, like weapons, do not vary greatly post upgrade and thus aren't worth upgrading.
Weapons
Upgrades to weapons can improve their numerical stats, including attack damage, crit probability and PvE/PvP damage. Weapons come with a flat rate bonus that increases damage per second. Additionally there are many weapons with a set bonus that activates when three or more of the same weapon are equipped on a single unit. In certain instances, this bonus could amount to more than the amount of damage a weapon can sustain on its own.
The cost of upgrading a weapon varies on its rarity and level. For example, a +2 weapon 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 the higher level of Smithing Stones, at which point it will reset to one.
Upgrading weapons will also reroll their base stats. While this is generally an excellent thing, it can have some negative consequences as well. In the case of items that are only used in a specific build (Whistant's shield for FB Sorcs, for example) upgrading them can render them useless unless you get a lucky roll.
Armor items can be upgraded to boost their effectiveness. This can increase the defense of a helm or chest as well as belts and gloves. These can boost their strength and agility. Armor has a rerolling option for its Enhanced Defense%. This means that it may reroll down to a lower value.
The upgrade template of a weapon will display the new stats that it will gain when upgrading, along with the values of these stats. This means that a weapon will gain an attack damage of 3% if it is upgraded from an 8 attack damage sword to an 11 attack damage sword. However the 3% does not mean that it will strike 3 times less often because it's an absolute number.
A weapon can also be rerolled by pressing the green button, which is accompanied by circling arrows in the menu for items. The item upgrader mod will be rerolled and change its stats, however, it will not 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 provide MASSIVE increases in resistance to poison, curses fire, magic, and other. This makes it easier to traverse difficult areas. In general, the more defense you have on your character, the more health you will gain from each point. So, it's best to upgrade your armor.
To upgrade your armor, head to one of the Great Fairy Fountains in the game. There are four in total, and each requires you to complete a unique side quest that involves the Stable Trotters musical troupe. After you've completed the main side quest and have completed the fountain in question and then you can speak to any Great Fairy to open up the armor upgrade menu.
The amount of material needed to upgrade each piece of armor is different. It is possible to use anything between three Red Chuchu jelly and 10 Rupees to upgrade the initial 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 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 survive an entire raid with a few of your friends.
It isn't possible to upgrade armor in the same way as weapons. If you're playing as a Warrior it is best to focus on upgrading your armor to increase physical power or spell power. It is recommended to save your armor upgrades to upgrade the armor that you'll still be wearing by the end of the story, like the Ring of Lightning, Spectral Shield or the mask you'll wear 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 perks for your armor. You'll typically want to keep these upgrades to the weapon you'll use to beat the game. For example the Longsword or Battleaxe. It's nevertheless beneficial to have some upgrades to the chest armor and helmets so that you can get around a few monsters.
Potions
Potions are substances in bottles that, when consumed give the player the illusion of status for a few minutes. There are five kinds of potions, each having particular effects and durations. Some potions can be upgraded to increase their effectiveness. You can also enhance the effects of certain potions by including glowstone dust and redstone.
Potion upgrades require a certain amount of XP. This can be obtained by making them on a crafting table or by placing them in the Alchemist chest. The upgrade price varies depending on the type of potion as well as the item's rarity and Mark Level.
To upgrade a potion, right-click on it in your inventory and choose the "Upgrade" option from the menu. This will open an GUI which allows you to choose the potion that you want to upgrade and the amount of experience they will give you when upgraded. Upgrading potions can be done in batches of up to five at a time and the XP that they generate will be added to your current XP total.
Once a poton is upgraded in quality, it will not deteriorate in the event that you make use of it again or break the bottle in the container it is kept. Clicking on the potion in your inventory will allow you to change the name of the potion.
Version 1.7.2 introduced a few modifications to the mechanics of potions. For example splash potions now have the duration of 0:08 (this is not the equivalent of 22.5 seconds shown on the item level upgrade hover display). The table for potion is constructed from four Wood Planks, and two Glass. It is now able to be utilized in both Survival and Bedrock. Bedrock Edition potions aren't compatible with cauldrons, as is the case with Java Edition. The same is true for using a potion within a cauldron that is full. This will draw out the potion, and refill the bottle.
In addition, there are lingering potions that are made with dragon breath and splash potions. Redstone can also be added to lingering potions to enhance their effects. The table of potion ingredients has been rearranged to appear more like the Java Edition. New potions have also been added, for instance, the potion of leaping as well as decomposition.
Trinkets
A trinket is a tiny and inexpensive ornament or piece of jewelry. It could also refer to an object or ornament that serves a function but is not important, like a trinket. In some cultures, trinkets are used to symbolize friendship or affection, especially between family members.
In addition to weapons, armor and potions, players can upgrade their trinkets. Upgrades can be obtained by paying the appropriate currency to an upgrade vendor. Trinkets like other items that can be upgraded, can be exchanged at any time without losing statistics.
The upgrade vendors can be found in major cities and the capital of each zone, as well as in some instances in dungeons. Upgrades for trinkets are offered with tokens, gold, or fragments from rare trinkets.
Upgrades are a cost-effective alternative to buying a new trinket. It is possible to upgrade a player for less than 12 tokens. The new trinket comes with the same level of base as the old trinket however, it will also come with an additional 1% bonus upgrade.
Trinkets can be re-upgraded once they're no longer useful which allows a player to increase their power and value over time. They can be traded between players, making them an alternative to gold.
Players should upgrade their most essential items first. This means that the most-important slot items for each class are upgraded first before their secondary gear, and then other pieces of equipment that won't be replacing anytime soon (such as rings or cloaks). When deciding which items to upgrade, players should be aware of their class's preferred statistics. For example, if Haste and Crit are the two most important stats for a tank, they should prioritize upgrading their chest, helm shoulders, belt, and helm.
Trinkets can be upgraded to a higher ilvl after they're no longer needed, and the new trinket will receive an additional bonus of 1% for upgrading. However, a re-upgrade items can ruin the previous trinket in the event that it is not saved using the Black Lion Salvage Kit or an additional salvage tool of higher quality. Upgrades to trinkets are more expensive than other upgrades but still less expensive than buying an entirely new trinket.
