World of Warcraft Item Upgrades
The upgrading of your items is a crucial element of equipping your character. Upgrades increase item damage and enhancements.
They also offer rewards and upgrades. The Blacksmith can also sell them to you.
The upgrade button is available on any item. Every item recycled adds level to the upgrade gauge.
Weapon
If a weapon is upgraded, it receives an initial damage bonus as well as an increase in the scaling factor that affects other stats. Certain upgrade components come with cosmetic effects and others provide additional features. These upgrades can be inserted into armor, weapons trinkets, or gathering tools, and most require that the equipment have an available upgrade slot and meet certain requirements. If a weapon piece has an upgrade component in it, the item can be upgraded, but the prior upgrade will be destroyed (except for legendary equipment and upgrades). Upgrade components can be recovered using the Black Lion Salvage Kit Ascended Salvage tool, or high-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 can be done through the Gear Workbench's interaction menu. Based on the tier of the weapon it can be done up to four times.
Once the weapon is at maximum upgrade, it can be reforged using a variety of different types of upgrades to increase certain stats or add bonuses and effects. Several of these upgrades can be used simultaneously, and the effects are based on the rarity of the weapon.
There are item upgrade in the game who 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 upgrade materials differ: Smithing Stones to modify the kind of damage weapon does and Somber Smithing Stones to modify the standard weapons.
Generally, it is advised to improve 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 for enchantments that increase a weapon's stats as well as damage.
Armor
Item Upgrades let players enhance the effectiveness of certain armors, weapons trinkets, trinkets, or gathering tools. They can also provide additional effects such as increased damage or cosmetic enhancements. Item Upgrades can be obtained by crafting, purchasing from NPC vendors, in loot drops, or as rewards for quests.
The armor can be upgraded by visiting the Armorer NPC, and spending the appropriate currency. In most cases the armor will be upgraded to next tier once an upgrade is applied. Most armor types are upgradeable, however certain items (such as the armor used to start in Great Sky Island) cannot.
Most armor upgrades offer some improvement to an item's defense base or strength. However, some upgrade components can provide significant improvements in strength or defense, particularly when upgrading an item that is epic.
In addition to increasing the defense of an item, some upgrades also offer specific abilities that can be activated while wearing a piece of armor. These abilities can be extremely useful in combat. For instance they can boost attack speed or block. Certain upgrades also offer passive effects, for instance cutting down on the amount of damage that is taken while wearing armor or granting the chance to avoid attacks.
Based on the type of armor being used, upgrading an item can require multiple attempts. If a player is looking to upgrade Steelclash armor into Dragonscale and the first attempt will result in a brand new Dragonscale armor with an armor base defense of 59-67. The second attempt will result in an Dragonscale armor with the base defense of between 67-77.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild lets players upgrade their armor sets up to level 4. To do this, players must visit the four Great Fairy Fountains that are located in the game. Each of these locations is home to the power of a fairy who can upgrade one piece of armor for the player.
Contrary to popular belief, armor in The Division 2 is not useless. Some armors offer a significant boost in the reduction of damage caused by poison spells, curses, magic or fire. This makes them beneficial for certain types of builds. There are also ways to improve armor stats beyond the use of upgradeable armor such as the engineer trait that increases armor penetration or the challenger trait to reduce the weight of the entire armor.
Potion
When you put a potion into the stand for brewing, you can unlock new effects. The upgrade opens a different tier of potion effects, and can be re-used to unlock more potencies.
The potions also gain the ability to select a custom color that can be chosen by the player using the /give. This color will affect the area-of-effect clouds as well as the arrows generated. In Bedrock Edition, the custom potion color also applies to the effects of the potion's particle effects.
The water bottle, mundane and thick potions and difficult potions, now have a different texture when they are brewed. In the Creative Inventory potion healing and weakness are now available. There are lingering potions available that can be brewed with dragon breath or splash potions and a thick pot that has the status effect of Mining Fatigue (duration 4 hours). Problems related to this update are maintained on the Bug Tracker.
Trinket
A trinket is a small inexpensive piece of jewelry. It could be a ring or necklace. Or even a small banner used to mark the lateen yard of a boat. It could also refer to a trinket that is gilded on the mast of a ship.
This macabre trinket appears to be influencing the residents of this maze by making them more prevalent. At present the trinket makes all types of mimic Xx more common, and gives each floor an X% chance of having an ebony mimic. Upgrades to this trinket will cost an amount of energy.
The magic of this enchanted scepter seems to affect the dungeon itself, making it more likely to produce 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 weapons or armor, or items that are generated to solve danger rooms.
Although it appears to be a normal newt's eye, this mystical item seems to be affecting your vision in ways that go beyond simply reducing your field of view. This trinket, at its current level, increases the health benefits gained from drinking healing potions and wells of life by X% and gives you mind-sight on enemies within Y tile. This trinket does not stack with the Increased Senses.
Skull Cavern is where you will find Trinkets after you've completed the Mastery Cave. You can find them after defeating Monsters, and in chests and crates. They are not in the Mines or Volcano Dungeon.
Place the trinket into the Anvil when it needs to be upgraded. This will have an effect on the trinket, either increasing or strengthening its effects. You can reorge the trinket as often as you like however it will always have a new effect.
You can also upgrade your Trinkets at the Alchemy Station by placing them into the Magical Catalyst. This will cost 6 energy, but increase the power of the trinkets by a small amount.
