World of Warcraft Item Upgrades
Item upgrades give players the ability to upgrade equipment that they already have. This can be accomplished by any upgrader for items NPC.
Generally, upgrades boost an item's main stat and can give it additional benefits based on the type. Examples include Whistan’s shield for FB Sorcs or Goldwraps for caster builds.
Armour
Link's armor is a key element to protect him from harm. Although it cannot be upgraded like weapons, it is possible to improve its defence capabilities in various ways.
The principle of armour is to protect the person or animal from physical harm or injury in the form of direct physical attack or from various dangers posed by the environment and activities. Historically, armour was mostly made from fabric or leather however later, metal protections were also utilized for military purposes, particularly such as heavy cavalry or combat drones.
There are many ways to upgrade your armour, but the majority of them require you to visit one of the four Great Fairy Fountains scattered throughout Hyrule. Each fountain offers a different degree of improvement, with more protection levels requiring more rupees and materials.
First, Armor Upgrades are permanent upgrades. Once they've been applied, they can't be removed in the event that you own a piece of equipment that has the same upgrade. You should only apply highest-level upgrades to your equipment, and ensure that you have the equipment needed to complete them.
You will find the upgrades you need in many places around Hyrule. These include shrines, merchants, and even enemies. These are usually marked by the blue triangle or gold circle and can be found in great numbers as you progress. While they may appear randomly, there's the possibility that acquiring certain upgrade elements will lead to a quest that will reward you with more.
It's also worth noting that, even though the level of protection provided by each upgrade varies, it is the same across all upgrades and will always be superior to nothing. item upgrade of upgraded armor will give you a high-defense boost that protects you from all types of attacks and will also protect against magic. This makes it an effective weapon for all classes.
Weapons
You can upgrade your guns by using special upgrades to make them unique. These can increase damage, alter the weapon's stats in order to adapt to your particular build or even unlock new attachments, such as unique ammo types, enchantments and other options for aesthetics.
You'll need both the upgrade component as well as the weapon itself to upgrade it. The weapon has to be at a minimum of an appropriate level to upgrade it. Most weapons only take one upgrade.
Weapon upgrade components can be found all over the world, from the enemy or from merchants. The upgrade components themselves are a combination of ingredients that can be slotted into weapons, armor trinkets, trinkets, or gathering tools to provide 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 the same way as other items.
The upgrades themselves are a combination of Smithing Stones and Runes, and are used for enhancing the stats of a base weapon and improving its scaling with other stats. They can be obtained from enemies dropped in the open, bought from a few merchants or through drops during combat.
Two NPCs can upgrade your weapon: the Blacksmith Hewg in the Roundtable Hold hub zone and the Smithing Master Iji located in the Road to Manor hub zone. Both of these NPCs accept your Smithing Stones or Runes to upgrade your weapon.
It's crucial to prioritise upgrading your top-of-the-line items first, then the ones you won't replace in the near future. Upgrade your weapon first, then upgrade your chest, shoulders feet, hands, and shoulders if you plan to play a melee build. The same principle applies to Magic and Utility Items. But, depending on your style of play, certain procs will be more useful than others. Armour is the same, with certain refining better than others.
Magic Items
A character can only upgrade one item of magic. If an upgrade project has been canceled, no further upgrades will be offered for that item. Upgraded magic items cost twice the amount of gold to create or purchase, but can provide other benefits.
A magical item is any item that has some special properties or effects. These are typically weapons, but they could also be shields, armors, cloaks and potions. They can also be scrolls, rings or other items. Some of these items are sentient.
Many magic items can have their abilities enhanced. This can make them more useful to a player, or it can help them overcome a particularly challenging encounter. A weapon that is infused can provide bonus damage against a particular enemy type, for example. This is especially beneficial for those who have reached the point where they're likely to face a single type of monster in the dungeons.
A ring with an infusion could grant immunity to bludgeoning, piercing or slashing injuries from nonmagical attacks (not including silvered ones) until the next time the character is taking a long rest. This is especially beneficial for melee fighters or anyone who would like to avoid the hassle and expense of buying a shield.
Certain items enchanted by magic have special powers which allow the character to cast spells in addition to those on the list of spells for their class. This is beneficial for those who are having trouble filling their spell slots because of multiclassing. These enchanted items typically require an Intelligence (Arcana) check to use, and the spell cast is determined by rolling a table that is based on the number Intelligence points used.
Other enchanted items might allow the user to alter their appearance, or create a new appearance. These can be particularly useful for characters who have had to leave their homes, or who are in a situation where they might not be accepted. A magical item may grant them invisibility or make them invisible to everyone except the chosen person.
Utility Items
Utility items are those that don't fall into the categories of Armor, Clothing or Weapons and offer a range of different capabilities. Contrary to Weapons and Armor, no one utility item will be in conflict with the other. The majority of utility items have an effect that a player can activate by using them, however, some come with additional capabilities that are triggered when the user presses an action button or activates an ability.
The most popular kind of utility item is the Flashlight, which illuminates the surrounding area. Other utilities include the Helicopter Hat and Rocket Boots, which allow players to fly in the air while they move, and the Jetpack which allows players to accelerate in any direction while on the ground. A variety of utility items can be instantly produced in the Engineering section, while others are unlockable through Research projects or experimental projects in the Proving Ground.
In addition to the items that are available in the normal inventory, players can also obtain the most powerful utility items 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 make them more effective.
Most utility items enhance a specific combat attribute or give the player some sort of advantage in navigation. Sharpening stones, crafted by an Weaponsmith will increase power and Ferocity while Maintenance Oils, made by the Huntsman can increase concentration and healing power. Other utility items can be utilized by players to boost Damage or Condition Damage.
All XCOM soldiers can be equipped with a useful item at the beginning of the campaign. Eventually, an additional slot can be obtained through the use of certain types armor or by completing engineering, research or experimental projects in the Proving Ground. In the Alien Hunters DLC, additional slots are added by equipping the Grenade Launcher, which lets the player equip a Smoke Grenade or Bomb in an additional grenade slot while an offensive grenade can be placed in the main grenade slot.
