World of Warcraft Item Upgrades
Upgrades to items are an essential aspect of preparing your character. Upgrades increase the base damage as well as the enchantments of items.
They also provide bonuses and enhancements. The Blacksmith can sell them to you.
The upgrade button can be found on any item. Every item recycled adds a level to the gauge of upgrade.
Weapon
When the weapon is upgraded it will gain an initial damage bonus and a scaling factor that influences other stats. Certain upgrade components come with cosmetic effects and others provide additional features. These upgrades can be added to weapons, armors, trinkets and gathering tools. Most require that the equipment has an upgrade slot and that it meets 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 Ascended Salvage Tool, or using a salvage tool of high-end quality on the item the item.
A weapon can also be upgraded to include a calibration attribute that improves certain stats, like Weakspot damage or Crit Rate. This is done via the Gear Workbench's interaction menu. Based on the tier of the weapon, this can be done up to four times.
Once the weapon has reached its maximum level of upgrade, it can then be reforged to add different effects and bonuses or to boost specific stats. Many of these upgrades can be re-applied at once, and the effects are based on the nature of the weapon.
There are two Blacksmiths in the game that can perform these upgrades: Blacksmith Hewg in the Church of Elleh hub area as well as Smithing Master Iji in the Road to the Manor Site of Grace. Both upgrade materials are different: Smithing Stones to modify the kind of damage weapons deal and Somber Smithing Stones to alter the standard weapons.
In general, it's advisable to improve your weapon's damage first. Then you can increase your armour defense and finally the secondary stats that are required by your build. In particular, it is common to see melee druids enhancing their weapon before they upgrade any other gear, because it helps maximise DPS. This is especially applicable to enchantments, which can be extremely efficient in increasing the weapon's damage and other stats.
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, or in loot drops, or as rewards for quests.
The upgrade of armor can be done by visiting the Armorer NPC and spending appropriate currencies. Most armor will upgrade to the next level following an upgrade. Most types of armor can be upgraded, but some items (such as the starter armour found in Great Sky Island) cannot.
Most armor upgrades offer some improvement to an item's base defense or strength. Certain upgrade components, however can result in significant increases in defense or strength. This is particularly relevant when upgrading epic items.
Certain upgrades offer specific abilities that can be activated when wearing armor. These abilities can be extremely beneficial in combat. For example they can increase attack speed or block. Certain upgrades provide effect that are passive and can be useful for example, decreasing damage when wearing armor, or increasing the chance to dodge an attack.
Upgrades to armor could require multiple attempts, based on the type. If a player wishes to upgrade Steelclash armor to Dragonscale, then the first attempt will result in a new Dragonscale armor with an armor base defense of 59-67. The second attempt would result in a new Dragonscale armor that has the base defense between 67 and 77, and it goes on.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild lets players upgrade their armor sets up to level 4. To do so, they must visit each of the four locations known as Great Fairy Fountains in the game. Each location has a powerful fair who can upgrade a piece of armor for you.
Contrary to popular opinion, armor in The Division 2 is not useful. The fact of the matter is that certain armors come with very substantial enhancements to poison or curse, fire or magical damage reduction, making them invaluable for certain builds. Additionally, there are upgrade item to improve armor stats beyond the use of upgradeable armor such as the engineer trait to boost armor penetration or the challenger trait that reduces the weight of the entire armor.
Potion
A potion can be upgraded by putting it in an brewing stand in order to unlock new effects. The upgrade opens a new level of potion effects, and can be repeated for more tiers of potency.
The potion also has an individual color code, which the player can choose using /give and which can affect the area-of-effect clouds as well as arrows produced by the potions. In Bedrock Edition, the custom color code of the potion is also applied to the potions' particle effects.
The water bottle, common and thick potions and awkward potions now have a distinct the texture of brewing. The potion of weakness was added to the potion of healing in Creative inventory.
