Buzzwords, De-Buzzed: 10 Other Ways To Say Item Upgrading
World of Warcraft - Item Upgrading
Upgrades to items allow players to boost the gear score of an item to 700 and add a final perk. Items can be upgraded if they are in your inventory and you bring them to the kiln.
Certain items are worth upgrading due to their unique stats. (For instance, a perfectly rolled breakpoint armor used in melee PvP). Other items, like weapons don't really change after an upgrade, and aren't worth it.
Weapons
Upgrades to weapons can increase their numerical stats, like attack damage, crit probability and PvE/PvP damage. Weapons have a flat-rate bonus that increases damage per second. A lot of weapons also have a fixed bonus which is activated when three or more identical weapons are used in a group. In some instances, this bonus could add up to more than the amount of damage a weapon is able to upgrade on its own.
The cost of upgrading a weapon is based on the quality of the weapon and its current level. For instance the weapon with a +2 rating will require two regular Smithing Stones to upgrade while an upgrade of +3 requires four. The number of stones required to upgrade a weapon will increase until it requires more Smithing Stones. At that point it will reset to one.
Upgrades to weapons also alter the stats of the base. This is usually a positive factor, but it could also have negative consequences. Upgrades can render items inaccessible, unless you're very lucky.
The ability to upgrade armor items to increase their stats. For instance, if you have a helm or chest, it will boost its base defense while gloves and belts will enhance their required strength and dexterity. Armor also offers the option of rerolling its Enhanced Defense percent, which means that it could roll back to a lower number.
The upgrade template for a weapon will display the new stats it will gain when upgraded in addition to their relative values. This means that the weapon will gain an attack damage of 3% if it is upgraded from an 8 attack damage sword to an 11 attack damage sword. However the 3% does not mean that it will strike for 3 fewer times because it's an absolute statistic.
Rerolling a weapon is possible by pressing the green button on the item menu with the circling arrows. The item will be rerolled and alter its stats but it will not reset the weapon's levels, or connect it to an account's status.
Armor
A few armor upgrades can make a huge difference to your survival. Certain sets can provide MASSIVE improvements in the resistance to curses, poison fire, magic, and other. This can make it easier to navigate difficult terrains. In general, the greater defense your character is, the more value you can get from each point of health therefore it is important to upgrade your armor as much as possible.
You can upgrade your armor by visiting any of the Great Fairy Fountains. There are four fountains in all, and each requires you to complete a unique side quest involving the Stable Trotters musical troupe. After you've completed your main quest and the corresponding fountains, you can talk to any Great Fairy in order to unlock the armor upgrade menu.
Each piece of armor can be upgraded to three levels and the amount of material and Rupees needed for each will vary. In general, you'll be looking at anywhere between three Red Chuchu Jellies and ten Rupees for the first upgrade, and then anywhere from five Rubies and 10 Fire-Breath Horns for each subsequent upgrade. The Champion Leathers, for instance can be upgraded to a +5 defense rating, which will allow you to remain competitive in frigid environments with a large group of adversaries. The Snowquill Headdress, on the other side, can be upgraded to +20 defense so that you're able to withstand a rout with your comrades.
item upgrades to note that armor cannot be upgraded in the same way as weapons, so you'll want to work on enhancing it to increase physical strength if you're a Warrior or Spell Power if you're a Mage. You should also save your armor upgrades to upgrade the armor that you'll still be wearing by the end of the story, like the Ring of Lightning, Spectral Shield or the mask you use in the final boss fight The Monter Parts Merchant Mask.
By giving the jeweler 10 Twinkling Titanite in Gerudo Town in Gerudo Town, you can gain some benefits to your armor. You'll generally want to save these upgrades for the weapon that you'll use to beat the game. For example the Longsword or Battleaxe. It's nevertheless beneficial to have some upgrades to the armor on your chest and helmets to allow you to sneak around some monsters.
Potions
Potions are liquids that, when consumed by the player, give an immediate effect. There are five kinds of potions, each with a specific set of effects and durations. Certain potions can be upgraded to enhance their effectiveness. Alternatively the effects of certain potions can be enhanced by adding glowstone dust or redstone to them.

Potion upgrades require a certain amount XP. This can be obtained by making them on a table or by placing them in the Alchemist chest. The price of upgrades changes depending on what type of potion you want to upgrade, as well as on the item's Mark Level as well as its rarity.
To upgrade a potion, right-click on it in your inventory and select the "Upgrade" option from the menu. This opens a GUI where you can choose the potions you wish to upgrade and the amount of XP they will give you when upgraded. Upgrades to potions can be made in batches of up to five at a time, and the XP they earn will be added to your current XP total.
Once a potion is upgraded and stored, it will not degrade until you make use of it again or break the bottle in the container it is stored. You can also change the name of the potion by clicking on it in your inventory.
There were a few updates to the mechanics of potions in version 1.7.2. Splash potions for instance are now available with a time of that is 0:08 instead of 22.5 seconds shown on the item hover display. The table for potion can now be crafted with 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. The same applies to using a potion within a cauldron that is full. This will drain the potion and refill the bottle.
In addition, there are simmering potions made using splash and dragon breath potions. Redstone can also be added to lingering potions to enhance their effect. The potion table is now laid out more in line with the Java Edition, and new potions were introduced, including the potion of leaping and the decomposition potion, as well as turtle master potions.
Trinkets
A trinket is an ornament that is small and inexpensive or piece jewelry. It can also refer to an object or ornament that serves a function but is not important as a trinket. In some cultures, a trinket can be used to express friendship or affection between family members.
Players can upgrade trinkets as well as weapons or armor, as well as potions. They can be upgraded by visiting an upgrade vendor and paying the appropriate currency. As with other upgrades to items trinkets, trinkets can be exchanged at will without losing their stats.
The upgrade vendors are located in major cities and the capital of each zone, as well as in some cases, dungeons. Upgrades for trinkets are available using tokens, gold, or fragments from rare trinkets.
Upgrades are a cheaper alternative to purchasing a new trinket. It is possible to upgrade a player for as little as 12 tokens. The new trinket will come with the same base ilvl as the old one, and will come with 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 over time. They can also be traded between players and are a popular alternative to gold.
In general, players should upgrade their highest priority items first. This means that the best-in slot items for each class are first upgraded before their secondary gear and finally other pieces of equipment they won't replace anytime soon (such as rings or cloaks). Players should also take into consideration their class's preferred stats when choosing the items to upgrade. For instance, if Haste and Crit are the two most important stats for a tank, they should be focusing on upgrading their chest, helm shoulders, belt, and chest.
Trinkets can be upgraded to a higher level once they no longer have value, and the new trinket can be upgraded to have an additional 1% upgrade bonus. However, a re-upgrade will cause the trinket to be destroyed until it is salvaged using the Black Lion Salvage Kit or a higher-tier salvage tool. Upgrades to trinkets are more expensive than other upgrades but still less expensive than purchasing new ones.
