Five Tools That Everyone In The Item Upgrading Industry Should Be Making Use Of

World of Warcraft - Item Upgrading
The [1] item upgrade lets players increase the gear rating of an item by up to 700 points and give it a bonus. Items can be upgraded by having them in inventory and heading to the kiln.
Certain items can be upgraded to benefit from their unique stats (like perfect rolled breakpoint armour used in melee PvP) while other items, such as weapons do not change significantly after an upgrade and thus aren't worth upgrading.
Weapons
Upgrades to weapons can improve their numerical stats, such as attack damage, crit chance and PvE/PvP damage. Weapons have a flat-rate bonus that increases damage per second. In addition some weapons come with a set bonus which is activated when three or more of the same weapon is present on a single unit. In some instances, this bonus could amount to more than the amount of damage that a weapon is able to upgrade on its own.
The cost of upgrading a weapon depends on its rarity and level. For instance the weapon with a +2 rating will require two regular Smithing Stones to upgrade while a +3 requires four. The number of stones required to upgrade a gun will increase until it needs more Smithing Stones. At that point, it will reset back to one.
The upgrade of weapons can also change their base stats. While this is generally a good thing, it can have some negative consequences too. For items that are only used in a particular build (Whistant's shield for FB sorcs for instance) upgrading them can make them unusable unless you happen to have an extremely lucky roll.
Armor items can also be upgraded to improve their stats. For instance, if you have chests or helms, this will increase its base defense while gloves and belts will increase their strength and dexterity. Armor has a rerolling option for its Enhanced Defense%. This means that it can sometimes reduce its value.
The upgrade template for a weapon displays the new stats that it will gain upon upgrading, along with their respective values. This means that the weapon will gain 3% attack damage if it is upgraded from an 8 attack damage sword to an 11 attack damage sword. The 3% does not mean that the weapon will be hit three times less, since it is an absolute number.
Rerolling a weapon is also possible by pressing the green button on the item menu, using the arrows that are circling. This will roll the item and alter its stats, however, it will not reset the weapon's level or tie it to the account status.
Armor
Making a few improvements to your armor could make a huge differences in your ability to survive. item upgrades offer massive increases in resistance to curses, poisons fire, magic, and other. This can make it easier to traverse difficult areas. The more defense your character has, the more value you get out of each point of health therefore it is important to improve 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 and each one requires you to complete a special side quest involving the Stable Trotters musical troupe. After you've completed the main quest, and the corresponding fountains, you'll be able to talk to any Great Fairy in order to unlock the menu for upgrading armor.
The amount of materials required to upgrade each piece of armor will vary. In general, you're looking at anywhere between three Red Chuchu Jellies and 10 Rupees for the first upgrade, then anywhere between five Rubies and 10 Fire-Breath Lizalfos Horns for each subsequent upgrade. The Champion Leathers, for example can be upgraded to a +5 defense rating, which allows you to keep up in frigid environments with a large number of adversaries. The Snowquill Headdress, on the other side, can be upgraded as high as +20 defense, which means you're able to withstand a rout with your friends.
You can't upgrade your armor in the same way as weapons. If you're playing as a Warrior, you should focus on upgrading your armor for physical power or spell power. It's also a good idea to save your armor upgrades for armor you'll wear at the end of the game, like the Ring of Lightning and Spectral Shield or the helmet you use for the final boss fight as well as the Monter Parts merchant's mask.
You can also unlock some benefits to your armor by presenting the jeweler at Gerudo Town 10 Twinkling Titanite. In general, you should save these upgrades for the weapon you'll be using to win the game like the Longsword, Battleaxe or Warhammer however, it could be useful to have some improvements to the helmets and chest armor that permit you to sneak past certain monsters.
Potions
Potions are liquid substances that, when consumed provide the user with the illusion of status for a few minutes. There are five types of potions, each having particular effects and durations. Certain potions can be upgraded to improve their level of effectiveness. You can also enhance the effects of certain potions by adding glowstone dust and redstone.
Potion upgrades require a certain amount of XP. This can be earned by crafting them on a crafting table or by storing them in the Alchemist chest. The price of upgrades is dependent on the kind of potion you wish to upgrade, and also on the item's Mark Level and Rarity.
To upgrade a potions simply right-click on it in your inventory. Then select "Upgrade" from the menu. This opens a GUI in which you can select the potion you want to upgrade and the amount of XP they'll yield when upgraded. Upgrading potions can be done in batches of up to five at a time and the XP they earn will be added to your current XP level.
Once a potion has been upgraded, it won't degrade until you re-use it, or break the bottle it's stored in. Clicking on the potion in your inventory will also allow you to rename it.
Version 1.7.2 introduced a few changes to the mechanics of potions. Splash potions, for instance, now have a duration that is 0:08 instead of 22.5 seconds that are displayed on the item hover display. The potion table is now made of four Wood Planks, and two Glass. It can be used in both Survival and Bedrock. Unlike the Java Edition, Bedrock edition potions can't be used in cauldrons. Additionally, using a potentio on a full cauldron, it drains the liquid and replenishes the bottle.
In addition, there are lingering potions that are brewed with dragon breath and splash potions. In the same way, a lingering potion' effect is extended by adding redstone to it. The potion table 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 could be a small, inexpensive ornament or piece jewelry. It can also refer to an ornament or object that serves a purpose, but is not important such as a thimble. In some cultures, a trinket can be used to show affection or friendship between family members.
In addition to armor, weapons, and potions, players can upgrade their trinkets. They can be upgraded by visiting an upgrade vendor and paying the appropriate amount in currency. Trinkets, unlike other items that can be upgraded can be swapped at will without losing stats.
The upgrade vendors can be found in major cities and the capital of each zone, as well as in some cases, dungeons. Upgrades for trinkets are purchased using tokens, gold or fragments of a rare trinket.
Upgrades are a cost-effective alternative to buying a brand new trinket. One can upgrade their trinket for as little 12 tokens. The new trinket will have the same base ilvl as the older one, and have an additional upgrade bonus of 1.
Once the old Trinkets are not usable they can be upgraded. This allows a player to increase their power and value with time. They can also be traded between players, making them a popular alternative to gold.
In general players should make upgrades to their highest priority items first. This typically means the top-of-the-line items for their class, then their secondaries, and finally other pieces of gear that will not be replaced soon (for instance, a ring or cloak). When choosing the items to upgrade, players must also consider the class's preferred stats. If Haste and Crit are two of the most important stats for a tank player then they should consider upgrading their chest, helm and shoulders.
Once they have become useless, trinkets can be upgraded to a higher level. The upgraded trinket will give you an additional 1% bonus. Re-upgrading will destroy the trinket unless it is salvaged with the Black Lion Salvage Kit, or a higher tier salvage tool. This means upgrading trinkets is more expensive than other upgrades, however it is still less expensive than buying the new one.
