World of Warcraft Item Upgrades
The upgrading of your items is a crucial element of equipping your character. Upgrades increase item damage and the ability to enchant.
They also offer bonus effects and enhancements. The Blacksmith can also sell them to you.
The upgrade button is available on any item. Every recycled item adds one level to the gauge for upgrading.
Weapons
When an item is upgraded, it is granted a base damage bonus as well as a scaling factor that can affect other stats. Certain upgrade components have cosmetic effects and others provide additional features. These upgrades can be inserted into armor, weapons trinkets, and gathering tools, and most require the equipment to have an upgrade slot available and meet certain requirements. The upgrade component can be removed from the weapon, armor or trinket, however it cannot be replaced. (Except for legendary equipment). Upgrade components can be retrieved using a Black Lion Salvage Kit or an Ascended Salvage Tool, or using a high-tier salvage tool on the item itself.
A weapon can also be upgraded to include a Calibration attribute that boosts certain stats, like Weakspot damage or Crit Rate. This can be done through the Gear Workbench's interaction menu. Based on the tier of the weapon the process can be repeated up to four times.
Once the weapon has reached maximum upgrade, it can be reforged using a variety of different types of upgrades to increase specific stats or to add bonuses and effects. All of these upgrades can be applied at once and the effects vary depending 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 to alter the damage a weapon deals.
It is generally recommended to upgrade weapon damage first, followed by armour defense, then the other secondary stats that are required by your build. It is not uncommon to see melee Druids upgrade their weapon before upgrading any other equipment. This can help increase DPS. This is especially relevant to enchantments that can be very effective in boosting the weapon's damage and other stats.
Armor
Item Upgrades allow players to enhance the base stats of certain pieces of armor trinkets, weapons, trinkets, and gathering tools. These upgrades may also have additional effects like increased damage or cosmetic enhancements. Item Upgrades can be obtained through crafting, purchasing from NPC vendors and loot drop, or as rewards for quests.
Armor can be improved by visiting the Armorer NPC, and spending the appropriate currency. In most cases, a piece of armor will be upgraded to next tier once an upgrade is applied. This is the case for most types of armor, but certain types of armor cannot be upgraded at all (such as the armor used to start in Great Sky Island).
Most armor upgrades increase the strength or defense of an item by a small amount. However, certain upgrade components can offer significant enhancements to defense or strength, particularly when upgrading an epic item.
Certain upgrades grant special abilities that can be activated when wearing armor. These abilities can be very beneficial in combat. For example, they can boost the speed of attack or block. Certain upgrades provide passive effects that can be beneficial for example, the ability to reduce damage while wearing armor, or increasing the chance of avoiding an attack.
Depending on the type of armor being used, upgrading an item can require multiple tries. If a player wants to upgrade Steelclash armor into Dragonscale, then the first attempt will result in a brand new Dragonscale armor that has a defense base between 59-67. The second attempt would result in a new Dragonscale armor with the base defense between 67 and 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 players must visit each of the four locations referred to as Great Fairy Fountains in the game. Each of these locations contains a powerful fair who can improve a piece of armor for you.
Contrary to popular belief, armor in The Division 2 is not useful. Certain armors provide a significant increase in the ability to reduce the damage caused by poison, curse, magic, or fire. This makes them useful for certain types of builds. There are other ways to boost the stats of armor besides upgrading the armor, like using the engineer attribute to increase armor penetration or the challenger trait to decrease the total weight.
Potion
A potion can be upgraded by placing it in a brewing stand to unlock new effects. The upgrade unlocks a brand new level of potion effect and can be repeated for more tiers of potency.
The potion also gains a custom color code which the player can select via /give, and that alters the area-of-effect clouds and arrows generated by the potions. In Bedrock Edition, the custom color code of the potion is also applied to the effects of the potion's particle effects.
The water bottle, a common, thick and awkward potions now have a fresh texture of brewing. In the Creative Inventory potion healing and weakness have been added. Added lingering potions that can be made with dragon breath or splash potions and a strong potion with the status effect Mining Fatigue (duration 4 hours). Problems related to this update are tracked on the Bug Tracker.
Trinket
A trinket is a small, inexpensive ornament or piece jewelry. This can be a ring, necklace or even a tiny flag to mark a boat's yard that is lateen. It can also be the trinket with gilded gold that is fixed to the mast of a boat.
This macabre trinket seems to be influencing the inhabitants of this maze which makes them more prevalent. At the moment, this trinket makes all types of mimic Xx more prevalent and gives each floor a Y% chance to have an ebony mimic. This trinket is priced at a moderate amount of energy to upgrade.
This enchanted Scepter's magic seems to influence the dungeon and increase the likelihood of producing water and grass. This trinket at the moment will cause X% of regular floors to be filled with grass or water. It does not alter glyphs, enchantments, cursed armor or weapons, or items that are produced to aid in the elimination of the dangers in rooms.
This item, which appears like a eyes of a nymph appears to alter your vision in a manner that goes beyond merely reducing your field-of-view. At the present time, this trinket boosts the overall health gained from drinking potions of healing, waterskins and wells of health by X% and grants mind the ability to see enemies within the Y tiles. More inspiring ideas is not a stacking feature with Heightened Senses.
Skull Cavern is where you will find Trinkets after you have completed the Mastery Cave. You can find them by defeating Monsters and in chests and crates. They are not found in the Mines or Volcano Dungeon.
When you have a trinket which requires upgrading then place it in the Anvil to upgrade it. This will affect the trinket, either increasing or strengthening its effects. You can reorge an item multiple times as often as you want, though it will always have an effect that is different from the one you had when you forged it.
You can also upgrade your Trinkets by placing them in a Magical Catalyst at the Alchemy Station. It will cost you 6 energy and increase the trinket's power by a small amount.
