World of Warcraft Item Upgrades
The upgrade feature for items lets players upgrade their existing equipment. This can be accomplished by any upgrader of items NPC.
Generally, upgrades boost an item's main stat and can give it extras depending on the item type. Examples include Whistan's shield for FB sorcs or Goldwrap for caster builds.
Armour
Armour is among the main factors that keep Link protected from injury in all situations. Although it cannot be upgraded like weapons, it is possible to enhance its defence capabilities in various ways.
The fundamental idea behind armour is to shield the person or animal from harm or injury, either from direct physical assault or from a range of environmental and activity hazards. Historically, most armour was made from leather or fabric, but metal protections were also employed particularly for military purposes like heavy cavalry and combat drones.
Like weapons there are a myriad of ways in which armor can be upgraded but the majority of them require visiting one of the four Great Fairy Fountains located throughout Hyrule. Each fountain comes with its own level of upgrades with higher levels of upgrades granting higher levels of protection, but require a higher price in rupees and the materials needed to unlock.
The first thing to note about Armor Upgrades is that they are permanent upgrades and after they've been put in place, they cannot be replaced unless you own another piece of equipment that has the same upgrade. It is important that you only apply the most effective level of upgrades to your equipment and that you have the necessary materials to complete them.
You can find the upgrades you need in many places throughout Hyrule. These include merchants, shrines and even enemies. These are usually marked by an orange triangle or a gold circle symbol and are available in large quantities as you progress through. They can appear randomly, but there is a possibility that obtaining certain upgrades will trigger a quest which will reward you with more.
It's important to note that, even though the level that upgrades offer may vary but it will always be higher than nothing. This is because a full set of upgraded armour will grant you a high defense boost that will protect you from all kinds of attacks except magic, making it a powerful tool for any class.
Weapons
You can upgrade your guns by using special upgrades that make them unique. These upgrades can increase the damage or alter the stats of the weapon in accordance with your specific build. They also allow new attachments like unique enchantments, different types of ammunition, as well as aesthetic options.
To upgrade a weapon, you'll require an upgrade component available and the item itself. The weapon should also be above a certain level for the upgrade to be effective and the majority of weapons can only take one upgrade at a time.
There are weapon upgrade components scattered around the globe and even from enemies, or they can be bought from a merchant. Upgrade components are a mixture of ingredients that you can slot into weapons, armors, trinkets and gathering tools in order to gain an attribute bonus. The equipment has to be of a certain level in order to accept the upgrade. It can be upgraded the same way as other items.
The upgrades themselves are a mixture of Smithing Stones and Runes, and are used to improve the stats of the base weapon and improving its scaling with other stats. They can be found among enemies who drop them in the open, bought from a few merchants or from combat.
Two NPCs can upgrade your weapon: the Blacksmith Hewg, in the Roundtable Hold hub zone and the Smithing Master Iji, in the Road to Manor hub zone. Both of these NPCs accept your Smithing Stones or Runes to upgrade your weapon.
Prioritize upgrading your top-in-slot items first. Then upgrade the ones you're not likely to replace in the near future. If you're planning to play an asymmetrical build, for instance, upgrade your weapon, then your chest and shoulders before your hands and feet. The same principle applies to Magic and Utility Items. However, based on your playstyle, some specific items are more beneficial than others. Armour is not any different, with some Reforges being better than others.
Magic Items
A character is able to upgrade only one magic item. If an upgrade project has been cancelled, no more upgrades will be offered for that item. Magic items that are upgraded will cost twice the amount of gold it would cost to create or buy however, they also provide additional benefits.
A magical item could be any item that has special properties or effects. These items are mostly weapons, but they could also be shields, armors, cloaks and potions. They could also be rings, scrolls or other items. Some of these items have a sense of being.
Many magic items can have their abilities enhanced. This can make them more useful to players, or can aid them in overcoming any difficult situation. item upgrades that contains an ingredient that is unique could, for instance, provide extra damage against a certain type of enemy. This is especially useful for those who have reached a level where they are likely to encounter a particular type of monster repeatedly in the dungeons.
A ring that is infused with magic may provide immunity to nonmagical attacks that bludgeon, pierce, or cut (excluding silvered attacks) until the character gets another long rest. This is particularly beneficial for combatants who are melee or any person who wishes to stay clear of buying an armor.
Certain objects with enchanted properties have special powers which allow the character to cast spells that aren't on their list of classes. This is beneficial for those who are having trouble filling 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 point expended.
Other items that are enchanted can allow the player to change their appearance, or create a new one. These items are particularly useful for characters who have been forced to leave their home or are in a location where they may not be accepted. A magical item can provide them with invisibility or make them invisible for anyone, excluding the person they choose to.
Utility Items
Utility items are equipment that don't fall into the categories of Armor, Clothing or Weapons and offer various capabilities. Utility items aren't compatible with each other, in contrast to Armor or Weapons. Most utility items have a passive effect which players can activate by using them. Some have additional abilities that can be activated by pressing a button or activating the skill.
The most popular type of utility item is the Flashlight that illuminates the surrounding area. Other utility items include the Helicopter Cap and Rocket Boots which allow the player to hover in mid-air when moving, and the Jetpack that allows the player to accelerate in all directions while on the ground. Several useful items can be immediately manufactured in the Engineering section while others can be unlocked through research projects or projects at the Proving Ground.
Players can unlock more powerful utility items in addition to those that are available in their normal inventory by purchasing them from the Atomic Shop or from seasonal Scoreboard rewards. Certain of these items can be upgraded for more efficient use.
Most utility items provide the player with a navigational advantage or increase the ability to fight. For instance, Sharpening stones created by the Weaponsmith boost Ferocity and Power, while Maintenance Oils crafted by the Huntsman boost Concentration and Healing Power. Other items of utility can be used by the player to boost Damage or Condition Damage.
XCOM soldiers can equip a single utility item to begin the campaign. A second slot is available after completing certain engineering, research, or experiments on the Proving Ground. During the Alien Hunters DLC, additional slots are added by equipping the Grenade Launcher which allows the player to equip an Smoke Grenade or Bomb in another grenade slot. an offensive grenade is placed in the main grenade slot.
