World of Warcraft Item Upgrades
Item upgrades give players the ability to upgrade equipment that they already have. This can be done at any item upgrader NPC.
Generally, upgrades boost an item's main stat and can give it extra benefits, based on the item type. Examples include Whistan’s shield for FB Sorcs, or Goldwraps for build casters.
Armour
Link's armor is a key factor in keeping him safe from harm. While upgrade item can't be upgraded like weapons, it is able to be improved in a variety of ways to enhance its defense capabilities.
Armour is designed to shield animals or people from injury or harm, whether it's from a direct physical attack or a variety of activity or environmental hazards. In the past, most armour was made from fabric or leather, but metal protections were also used, especially for military applications like heavy cavalry or combat drones.
There are many ways to upgrade armour however the majority require you to visit one of the four Great Fairy Fountains scattered throughout Hyrule. Each fountain has a distinct degree of improvement and more protection levels requiring more rupees as well as materials.
The first thing to remember about Armor Upgrades is that they are permanent upgrades, meaning that once they've been installed, they are not able to be replaced unless there is another piece of equipment that comes with the same upgrade. It is recommended to only apply the highest-level upgrades to your equipment, and ensure that you have all the components required to complete the process.
For those who want to acquire the necessary upgrade components to upgrade your character, they are available in various locations around Hyrule, including merchants, shrines as well as enemies. They're usually identified by a blue triangle or a gold circle and are available in large numbers as you progress through. They could appear randomly, but there is a possibility that getting certain upgrades will trigger a quest which will reward you with more.
It's also worth noting that although the level of protection offered by each upgrade differs however, it's the same for all upgrades and will always be superior to nothing. This is because a full set of upgraded armour will grant you a high defense boost that will protect you from all forms of attacks, excluding magic which makes it a very effective weapon for any class.
Weapons
You can upgrade your guns by using special upgrades that make them unique. These upgrades can boost damage or alter the performance of the weapon to match your particular build. They also allow new attachments such as unique enchantments, various kinds of ammunition, and aesthetic options.
To upgrade a weapon, you'll need to have an upgrade component available as well as the item itself. The weapon must also be at or above a certain point for the upgrade to take effect and the majority of weapons can only take one upgrade at a time.
Weapon upgrade components can be found scattered throughout the world, from the enemy or from merchants. The upgrade components themselves are a mix of ingredients that can be incorporated into armor, weapons, trinkets, and gathering tools to grant an attribute bonus or extra effect while they're in use. The equipment must be a certain level in order to accept the upgrade. It can be upgraded in the same way as other items.
The upgrades themselves are a mix of Smithing Stones and Runes, and are used to improve the stats of a base weapon and improving its scaling with other stats. These upgrades are available from enemies in the open world or from merchants. They can also be dropped by combat.
There are two NPCs that can upgrade your weapons: 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 take your Smithing Stones and Runes in exchange for a more powerful version of the weapon and an upgrade.
Prioritize upgrading your best-in slot items first. Then, upgrade the items that you won't replace soon. If you're planning on playing in a melee-based build, for example upgrade your weapon, then your chest and shoulders, then your feet and hands. item upgrading applies to Magic and Utility Items. However, based on the style you play, certain specific items are more beneficial than others. Armour is no different, with some reforges better than others.
Magic Items
A character can only upgrade one magic item. If an upgrade project is canceled, any subsequent upgrades for the item won't begin. Upgraded magic items cost twice as much gold to create or purchase, but can provide additional benefits.
A magical item could be any item that has special properties or effects. These items are mostly weapons, but they can also be shields, armors or cloaks as well as potions. They could also be rings, scrolls or other items. Certain of these items can be made to speak.
Most magic items can be upgraded to be infused with additional abilities. This makes them more useful to a player, or it can help them overcome any difficult situation. An infused weapon might provide an additional amount of damage to a specific kind of enemy, for example. This is particularly useful for those who have reached the level where they are likely to face a single kind of monster over and over again in the dungeons.
A ring that is infused can grant immunity to bludgeoning, piercing or slashing damages from nonmagical attacks (not including silvered ones) until the next time the character takes a long rest. This can be particularly helpful for combatants who are melee, or any character who wants to save the hassle and expense of buying a shield.
Certain items with enchanted properties have special abilities that allow the character to cast spells in addition to those on their class's spell list. This is useful for characters who have difficulties maintaining their spell slots because of multiclassing. These magical objects require an Intelligence check (Arcana) and the spell is determined by rolling a table based upon the number of Intelligence points expended.
Other enchanted objects might allow the character's appearance be changed or create a completely new one. These can be particularly useful for those who have to leave their homes, or are in a place that they aren't welcome. A magical item could provide them with invisibility or make them invisible for anyone, excluding the person they choose to.
Utility Items
Utility items are anything that does not fall into the categories of clothing or armor and come with a range of capabilities. Utility items aren't compatible with each other, as opposed to weapons or armor. Most utility items have a passive effect that players can activate while using them. Some have additional abilities that are activated by pressing a button or triggering the skill.
Generally speaking, the most popular kind of utilitarian item is the Flashlight, which illuminates the surrounding area. Other items of utility include the Helicopter Hat and Rocket Boots, which allow the player to float in the air while moving and the Jetpack that allows the player to accelerate in any direction while on the ground. In the Engineering section you can instantly produce several utilitarian items, whereas others are available only through research projects or experimental projects on the Proving Ground.
In addition to the items available in the standard inventory, players can unlock additional useful items of utility by purchasing them from the Atomic Shop and also from seasonal Scoreboard rewards (such as the Shadow Goggles). Certain of these items can be upgraded to allow more efficient use.
Most utility items give the player an advantage in navigation or enhance a specific combat ability. For example, Sharpening stones made by the Weaponsmith increase Power and Ferocity as well as Maintenance Oils created by the Huntsman boost Concentration and Healing Power. Other useful items, such as Writs and Theses made by the Scribe, can be used to give players an increase in Damage or Condition Damage.
XCOM soldiers can equip a single accessory item to start the campaign. A second slot is available once you have completed certain research, engineering or experimental projects on the Proving Ground. In the Alien Hunters DLC, additional slots are made available by equipping the Grenade Launcher which allows the player to equip an Smoke Grenade or Bomb in an additional grenade slot while an offensive grenade is placed in the main grenade slot.
