What The Heck What Is Item Upgrades

World of Warcraft Item Upgrades
Item upgrades are a key part of gearing up your character. Upgrades increase the damage of your item and enchantments.
They also offer bonus effects and improvements. The Blacksmith can also sell them to you.
Players can recycle any item by pressing the upgrade button on it. Each recycled item adds one level to the upgrade gauge.
Weapon
If a weapon is upgraded, it gets a base damage bonus and an increase in the scaling factor that affects other stats. The weapon can also gain a variety of upgrade components that provide additional attributes or effects as well as unique cosmetic effects. These upgrades can be added to armors, weapons, trinkets and gathering tools. They generally require that the item has an upgrade slot available and meet certain specifications. The upgrade component can be removed from the weapon, armor or trinket, but it cannot be replaced. (Except for legendary equipment). Upgrade components can be retrieved through the Black Lion Salvage Kit Ascended Salvage tool, or a high-tier salvaging tool that is attached to an item.
A weapon can also be upgraded to include a calibration attribute that improves certain stats, for example Weakspot damage or Crit Rate. This can be done through the Gear Workbench's interaction menu. This can be repeated four times, based on weapon's level.
Once the weapon is at the maximum level of upgrade, it may be reforged using a variety of different types of upgrades to increase specific stats or to add bonuses and effects. Many of these upgrades can be used at once, and the effects are based 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 as well as Smithing Master Iji in the Road to the Manor Site of Grace. Both upgrade materials differ: Smithing Stones to modify the type of damage that a weapon deals and Somber Smithing Stones to modify the standard weapons.
In general, it's best to increase the damage of your weapon first. Then, you can upgrade your armour defense and, finally those secondary stats that are required by your build. Particularly, it is common to see melee druids upgrade their weapon before they upgrade any other gear, because it helps maximise DPS. This is especially true for enchantments that can 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 other effects, such as an increase in damage or cosmetic enhancements. Item Upgrades are available through crafting, buying from NPC vendors, or in loot drops or as quest rewards.
Armor can be improved by visiting the Armorer NPC, and spending the appropriate currency. Most of the time the armor will be upgraded to next level once an upgrade is applied. This can be done for any type of armor, however certain items are not upgradeable at all (such as the armor used to start in Great Sky Island).
Most armor upgrades increase the strength or defense of an item by just a little. Certain upgrades, however, can lead to significant increases in defense or strength. This is particularly true when upgrading epic items.
Some upgrades provide special abilities that can be activated while wearing armor. These abilities can be useful in combat, such as giving a boost to attack speed or blocking. Certain upgrades also have passive effects, for instance cutting down on the amount of damage taken while wearing armor or granting a chance to dodge attacks.
Based on the type of armor, upgrading an item may require several tries. For example for instance, if a player wants to upgrade an existing Steelclash armor to Dragonscale, the first attempt would result in a new piece of Dragonscale with the base defense of 59-67. The second attempt will result in a brand new Dragonscale armor with a base defense between 67-77, and the list goes on.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild allows players to upgrade their armor sets up to level 4. To do this players must visit each of the four locations referred to as Great Fairy Fountains in the game. Each location has a powerful fair who can improve a piece of armor for you.
Despite popular belief it isn't a necessity in The Division 2. The fact of the matter is that certain armors have very significant increases in poison or curse, fire or magic damage reduction, making them invaluable for certain types of builds. There are upgrade item to increase the strength of armor apart from upgrading armor, such as using the engineer trait to increase armor penetrating or the challenger trait to decrease the total weight.
Potion
By putting a potion in a stand for brewing, you will be able to unlock new effects. The upgrade unlocks a new effect tier, and is able to be repeated to increase the potency.
The potion also gets an individual color code, which the player can select using /give and which affects area-of-effect clouds and arrows created by the potions. In Bedrock Edition, the custom potion color also applies to the potions' particle effects.
The water bottle, the mundane potions that are thick and awkward now have a new brewing texture. The potion of weakness was added to the healing potion in the Creative inventory. Addition of lingering potions, that can be prepared by using splash potions or Dragon breath. Also added is a potent potion that has the status effect of Mining Fatigue. Bug Tracker is the place for you to report issues with this patch.
Trinket
A trinket could be a small, inexpensive ornament or piece of jewelry. It could be a ring or necklace. Or, it could be a tiny banner used to mark the lateen yard of a boat. It could also refer to a gold-plated trinket on the mast of a ship.
This bizarre trinket appears to be influencing the residents of this maze which makes them more prevalent. At the moment it makes all kinds of mimic Xx more popular and gives every floor the chance to have an ebony mimic. This trinket is priced at a moderate amount of energy to upgrade.
The magic of the enchanted Scepter appears to affect the dungeon by increasing the probability of generating grass and water. At its current level this trinket will make X% of the floors fill with water or grass, but doesn't affect enchantments or the glyphs, cursed weapons, armor, or other items created to aid in the elimination of hazards.
The item, which appears like a eyes of a nymph appears to alter your vision in a way that goes beyond merely narrowing your field of vision. At the moment, this trinket boosts the overall health gained from drinking potions of healing, waterskins and wells of health by X% and gives you the ability to see enemies within Y tiles. This trinket is not stacked with the Increased Senses.
Skull Cavern is where you will find Trinkets after you have completed the Mastery Cave. You can find them by defeating Monsters and chests and crates. They are not found in the Mines or Volcano Dungeon.
Place the trinket into the Anvil whenever it is required to be upgraded. This will have a random impact on the trinket either increasing its duration or enhancing its effects. You can reorge a Trinket as many times as you wish, however it will always have a different effect than the one you had when you made it.
You can also upgrade your Trinkets at the Alchemy Station by placing them into a Magical Catalyst. This will cost you 6 energy and increase the power of the trinket by just a little.
