World of Warcraft Item Upgrades
The upgrade feature for items allows players to upgrade their equipment. This can be done at any item upgrade r NPC.
Upgrades increase the main stat of an item and also add extras depending on its type. Examples include Whistan's shield for FB sorcs, or Goldwrap for casting builds.
Armour
Armour is one of the most important factors that keep Link safe from harm in all situations. Although it cannot be upgraded like weapons, you can still improve its defence capabilities in various ways.
Armour is designed to safeguard animals or people from injury or harm regardless of whether it's a direct physical attack or a range of activity or environmental hazards. Historically, most armour was made of fabric or leather, but metal protections were also utilized particularly for military purposes like heavy cavalry and combat drones.
Like weapons there are a variety of ways in which armour can be upgraded, but most will require visiting one of the four Great Fairy Fountains located throughout Hyrule. Each fountain comes with its own level of upgrades available, with more granting greater levels of protection, but requiring a higher cost in rupees and the materials needed to unlock.
The first thing you need to know about Armor Upgrades is they are permanent upgrades, meaning that after they've been put in place, they are not able to be replaced unless you have another piece of equipment that comes with the same upgrade. It is important that you only apply the highest level of upgrades to your gear and that you have the necessary materials to complete the upgrade.
You will find the upgrades you require in a variety places around Hyrule. These include merchants, shrines and even enemies. They are usually marked with an gold circle or blue triangle symbol and can be found in large quantities as you advance through the game. They can appear randomly, but there is a possibility that getting certain upgrades will trigger a quest which will reward you with more.
It's important to keep in mind that even though the amount offered by each upgrade could vary however, it will always be more than nothing. This is because a full set of upgraded armour will grant you a high defense boost, which will shield you from all types of attacks, excluding magic and makes it a formidable tool for any class.
Weapons
If you want to make your guns truly unique, you can enhance them with a variety upgrades. These upgrades can boost damage or alter the stats of the weapon to match your particular build. They can also unlock new attachments like unique enchantments and different types of ammo, and aesthetic options.
You'll require both the upgrade component and the weapon itself to upgrade it. The weapon must also be at a certain level for the upgrade to take effect and most weapons can only take one upgrade at one time.
You can find weapons upgrade components scattered across the globe and from enemies or bought from a merchant. Upgrade components are a mix of ingredients that you can incorporate into armors, weapons, trinkets and gathering tools in order to gain an attribute bonus. The equipment must be a certain level before it can accept the upgrade. It is able to be upgraded in the same way as other items.
Upgrades are a mix of Smithing Stones (a type of stone) and Runes. They are used to enhance the power of weapons and increase their effectiveness in comparison to other stats. These upgrades can be obtained from enemies in the open or from merchants. They can also be dropped by combat.
There are two NPCs who can upgrade your weapons: the Blacksmith Hewg in the Roundtable Hold hub area and the Smithing Master Iji in the Road to the Manor hub area. Both of these NPCs will accept your Smithing Stones and Runes in exchange for a more powerful version of the weapon as well as an upgrade.
Prioritize upgrading your most-used slot items first. Then, upgrade the items that you won't replace soon. Upgrade your weapon first, and then upgrade your chest, shoulders, hands, and feet in case you intend to play a melee build. The same principle applies to Magic and Utility Items. However, based on your playstyle, some procs will be more beneficial than others. Armour is the same, with certain refining better than others.
Magic Items
A character is able to upgrade only one magic item. If an upgrade project is canceled, no further upgrades will be made for the item. Magic items that are upgraded cost double the amount of gold they normally cost to create or purchase however, they also provide additional advantages.
A magical item is an item that has special properties or effects. The majority of these items are weapons, but some are also shields, armor, cloaks, potions, scrolls, rings and other items. Certain of these items can be made sentient.
Many magic items can be enhanced in their abilities. This makes them more useful to players, or can help them overcome an especially difficult challenge. A weapon that contains some special substance could offer, for instance, an extra level of damage to a particular enemy type. This is especially useful for characters who have reached a level where they'll likely encounter the same type of monster in dungeons repeatedly.
A ring with an infusion could grant the ability to resist piercing, bludgeoning, or slashing damage from nonmagical attacks (not even silvered ones) until the next time the character takes a lengthy rest. This can be particularly helpful for melee fighters, or any character who wishes to avoid the cost and hassle of purchasing shields.
Some enchanted items have special abilities that allow the character to cast spells in addition to those on their class's list of spells. This is a great benefit for characters who have difficulty keeping their spell slots full due to multiclassing. These items that are enchanted typically require an Intelligence (Arcana) check prior to use them, and the spell's effectiveness is determined by rolling a table determined by the number of Intelligence points expended.
Other enchanted objects might allow the player's appearance to be changed, or they could even create a new appearance. These items can be especially useful for characters who have been forced to leave their home or located in an area that they might not be accepted. An enchanted item might give them an invisible effect, or perhaps make them invisible to anyone other than a selected person.
Utility Items
Utility items are those that do not fall under the categories of clothing, armor or Weapons and have a range of different capabilities. Contrary to Weapons and Armor and Clothing, no utility item will be in conflict with the other. Most utility items have an effect that a player can activate by using them but some have additional abilities that are triggered when the user presses the button or activates the ability.
Generally speaking, the most popular kind of utilitarian item is the Flashlight that illuminates the surrounding area. Other utilities include the Helicopter Hat and Rocket Boots, which allow the player to be floating in the air while moving, and the Jetpack, which allows the player to accelerate in any direction while on the ground. In the Engineering section, you can create instantly a variety of useful items, while others are unlocked by Research projects or experimental projects on the Proving Ground.
In addition to the items available in the normal inventory, players can unlock the most useful items of utility by purchasing them from the Atomic Shop and also from seasonal Scoreboard rewards (such as the Shadow Goggles). Some of these items are upgradeable to increase their effectiveness.
Most utility items enhance a specific combat attribute or give the player some kind of navigation advantage. Sharpening stones, made by the Weaponsmith will increase power and Ferocity. Maintenance Oils, crafted by the Huntsman, increase Concentration and healing power. Other items of utility can be utilized by players to increase Damage or Condition Damage.
XCOM soldiers can equip a single utility item to begin the campaign. A second slot is available after the completion of certain research, engineering or experiments on the Proving Ground. During the Alien Hunters downloadable content, additional slots are available by equipping the Grenade Launcher. This enables the player to use an Smoke Grenade or Bomb while an offensive grenade remains in the primary slot.
