Item Upgrades: The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly

World of Warcraft Item Upgrades

Upgrades to items are an essential element of enhancing your character. Upgrades increase the base damage as well as enchantments of items.

They also offer rewards and upgrades. They can be purchased through the Blacksmith.

The upgrade button can be found on any item. Every item recycled adds a level to the gauge of upgrade.

Weapons

If a weapon is upgraded, it will gain a base damage bonus, as well as an adjustment factor that affects other stats. The weapon may also gain a number of upgrade components that offer additional features or effects as well as distinctive cosmetic effects. These upgrades can be put into weapons, armor, trinkets, and gathering tools. Most require that the equipment has an upgrade slot available and meet certain specifications. The upgrade component can be removed from an armored weapon, weapon or trinket, however it cannot be replaced. (Except for legendary equipment). Upgrade components can be found by using a Black Lion Salvage Kit or an Ascended Salvage Tool, or by using a high-end salvage tool on the item it self.

In addition to the standard upgrades, a weapon may be upgraded using a Calibration Attribute that improves certain stats, such as Weakspot Damage or Crit Rate. This is accomplished through the Gear Workbench's interaction menu. Based on the level of the weapon, this can be done up to four times.

Once the weapon has reached the maximum level of upgrade, it may be reforged using a variety of different upgrade types to boost certain stats or add bonuses and effects. Several of these upgrades can be re-applied simultaneously, and the effects vary depending on the quality of the weapon.

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 kind of damage a weapon deals.

In  item upgrading , it's advisable to improve your weapon's damage first. Then, you can upgrade your armor defense, and then the secondary stats required by your build. In particular, it is common to see melee druids enhancing their weapon before they upgrade any other gear, because it will increase DPS. This is particularly applicable to enchantments that enhance a weapon's stats and damage.

Armor

Item upgrades allow players to improve the base stats of certain pieces of armor trinkets, weapons, trinkets, and gathering tools. They can also provide additional effects like increased damage or cosmetic enhancements. Item upgrades can be obtained through crafting, buying from NPC vendors, in loot drops or as rewards for quests.

The quality of armor can be upgraded by visiting the Armorer NPC, and spending the appropriate currency. Most armor upgrades to the next level following an upgrade. This is the case for any type of armor, but certain types of armor cannot be upgraded in any way (such as the armor used to start in Great Sky Island).

Most armor upgrades provide only a slight increase in the item's defense or strength. However, certain upgrade components can provide significant increases to defense or strength, particularly when upgrading an item that is epic.

Some upgrades provide special abilities which can be activated when wearing armor. These abilities can prove beneficial in combat. For instance they can boost attack speed or block. Certain upgrades can have effect that are passive and can be useful like reducing damage while wearing armor, or increasing the chance of avoiding an attack.


Depending on the type of armor being used, upgrading an item may require multiple attempts. For example, if a player wanted to upgrade the strength of a Steelclash armor to Dragonscale The first attempt will result in a brand new piece of Dragonscale with an initial defense range of 59 and 67. The second attempt will result in a brand new Dragonscale armor with an initial defense of 67-77, and so on.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild lets players to upgrade their armor sets up to level 4. To do this it is necessary to visit each of the four locations referred to as Great Fairy Fountains in the game. Each location has an incredibly fair that can upgrade a piece of armor for you.

Contrary to popular belief it isn't a necessity in The Division 2. The fact of the matter is that certain armors come with very substantial enhancements to poison or curse, fire or magic damage reduction, which makes them very useful for certain builds. There are other methods to improve armor stats besides upgrading the armor, like using the engineer attribute to increase armor penetration or the challenger to reduce the total weight.

Potion

A potion can be upgraded by putting it in an brewing stand in order to unlock new effects. The upgrade unlocks a brand new level of potion effects, and can be repeated for more potency levels.

The potions also gain the ability to select a custom color that can be set by the player using the /give. This color will affect the clouds that affect the area of effect as well as the arrows generated. In Bedrock Edition the custom potion colour also applies to the particle effects of the potions.
