10 Things People Hate About Item Upgrading

World of Warcraft – Item Upgrading The upgrade of an item allows players to boost an item's gear rating up to 700 points and add a bonus. Items can be upgraded by having them in inventory and heading to the kiln. Certain items can be upgraded to increase their stats (like a perfectly broken point armour that is rolled for melee PvP) while other items, such as weapons do not vary greatly post upgrade, and therefore aren't worth upgrading. Weapons Weapons can be upgraded to increase their numeric stats such as crit chance, attack damage PvE and PvP damage. Weapons also come with a flat bonus which increases the damage they deal per second. Additionally some weapons come with a set bonus that activates when three or more of the same weapon are equipped on a unit. In some cases this bonus could add up to more than the amount of damage that a weapon is able to upgrade on its own. The cost of upgrading a weapon is contingent on its rarity and level. For example, an +2 weapon requires two regular Smithing Stones while a+3 requires four. The number of stones required to upgrade a weapon will increase until it requires more Smithing Stones. At that point, it will reset back to one. Upgraded weapons can also alter their base stats. This is generally a positive thing, but it can also have negative effects. In the case of items that only see use in a certain build (Whistant's shield for FB Sorcs, for example), upgrading them may make them unusable unless you have an extremely lucky roll. Items of armor can also be upgraded to improve their effectiveness. This can boost the base defense of a chest or helm, while belts and gloves will boost their required strength and agility. Armor also has an option to reroll its Enhanced Defense%, meaning that it can sometimes roll back to a lower number. The upgrade template for a weapon will display the new stats that it will gain when upgraded in addition to their relative values. This means that the weapon will gain 33% attack damage when it is upgraded from an 8 attack damage sword to an 11 attack damage sword. However the 3% does not mean that it will hit for 3 times less often, since it is an absolute number. Rerolling item upgrade is possible by pressing the green button on the item menu with the circling arrows. This will roll an item and change its statistics, but it will not reset the weapon's levels or connect it to an account's status. Armor A few upgrades to your armor can make the world of difference to your survival. Certain sets can offer MASSIVE boosts to poison, curse, fire and magic resistance, which can make it easier to navigate through tough terrain. In general, the greater defense your character has, the more value you can get from each point of health you possess and it's crucial to upgrade your armor as often as you can. You can upgrade your armor by visiting one of the Great Fairy Fountains. There are four of them each of which requires you to complete a specific side quest that involves the Stable Trotters musical troupe. Once you've done the main side quest and mastered the corresponding fountain, you can then contact any Great Fairy to open up the armor upgrade menu. Each piece of armor can be upgraded up to three levels, and the amount of material and Rupees needed for each will vary. It is possible to use anything from three Red Chuchu jellies 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 instance the Champion Leathers can be upgraded to +5 defense, allowing you to keep pace with a decent-sized group of adversaries in most cold climates, and the Snowquill Headdress can be upgraded to +20 defense, providing you enough protection to withstand an entire raid with a few friends. Note that armor can't be upgraded in the same way as weapons, so you'll want to concentrate on upgrading it to gain physical strength if you're a Warrior or Spell Power in the case of a Mage. It's also worthwhile to save your armor upgrades for the armor you'll wear at the end of the game, like the Ring of Lightning and Spectral Shield or the helmet you use to fight the final boss, the Monter Parts Merchant's mask. You can also gain perks for your armor by presenting the jeweler in Gerudo Town 10 Twinkling Titanite. Generally speaking, you'll want to keep these upgrades for the weapon you'll use to win the game, such as the Longsword, Battleaxe or Warhammer, but it can be beneficial to have a few improvements to the chest armor and helmets that let you stealthy battle certain monsters. Potions Potions are liquids that when consumed by the player, give the player with a temporary effect. There are five types of potions, each having specific effects and durations. Certain potions can be upgraded, increasing their level of effect. You can also increase the effects of certain potions by adding glowstone dust and redstone. Potion upgrades cost a specific amount of XP. This can be earned by making them on a table or in an chest of the Alchemist. However, the upgrade price changes depending on what type of potion you want to upgrade, and also on the item's Mark Level as well as its rarity. To upgrade a potion you need to right-click it in your inventory. Select “Upgrade” from the menu. This will open a GUI which allows you to select the potion you wish to upgrade, and the amount of experience they will offer when upgraded. Upgrading item upgrades can be done in batches of up to five at a time and the XP they provide will be added to your current XP total. 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 rename the potion by clicking on it in your inventory. Version 1.7.2 introduced a few modifications to the mechanism of potions. For example splash potions now have an average duration of 0.08 seconds (this is not the equivalent of 22.5 seconds that are displayed on the hover display for the item). The table of potion can now be constructed using four Wood Planks and two Glass. This allows it to be utilized by players in Survival and Bedrock. Bedrock Edition potions aren't compatible with cauldrons like Java Edition. Additionally, using a potentio on a full cauldron, it drains the liquid and replenishes the bottle. Lastly, there are now lingering potions that are made using splash and dragon breath potions. Redstone can be added to potions that are lingering to increase their effects. The potion table is rearranged to look more like the Java Edition. New potions are also 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 can also refer to an object or ornament that serves a purpose, but is not important such as a trinket. In certain cultures, a trinket is a way to show affection or friendship between family members. Players can upgrade trinkets in addition to weapons and armor, as well as potions. Upgrades can be purchased by paying the appropriate currency to an upgrade vendor. As with other upgrades to items trinkets are able to be exchanged at will without losing their status. The upgrade vendors are located in major cities and in the capital of each zone, and in some instances in dungeons. Upgrades for trinkets are available with gold, tokens, or fragments from a rare trinket. Upgrading a trinket is an economical alternative to buying new ones. A player can upgrade a trinket for just 12 tokens. The new trinket comes with the same level of base as the previous 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 boost their power and value over time. They can be traded between players, making them an alternative to gold. Players should upgrade their most important items first. This usually means the best-in-slot items for their class, followed by their secondaries and then other gear items that will not be replaced soon (for example rings or cloaks). When deciding which items to upgrade, players should also take into account the class's preferred stats. If Haste and Crit are two of the most important stats to tank players then they should consider upgrading their chest, helm, and shoulders. Trinkets can be upgraded to a higher ilvl after they are no longer useful and the new trinket can be upgraded to have an additional 1% upgrade bonus. Re-upgrading can cause damage to the trinket unless it is salvaged with the help of a Black Lion Salvage Kit, or a higher tier salvage tool. This means upgrading trinkets is more expensive than other upgrades, yet is still cheaper than buying an entirely new trinket.
