World of Warcraft Item Upgrades
The upgrade feature for items lets players upgrade their equipment. This can be accomplished by any upgrader of items NPC.
Upgrades increase the main stat of an item and add extras depending on its type. Examples include Whistan's shield for FB sorcs and Goldwrap for build casters.
Armour
Armour is among the key things that keeps Link protected from injury in most situations. While it can't be upgraded like weapons, it can be improved in different ways to improve its defence capabilities.
Armour is designed to protect animals and people from harm or injury from direct physical attack or a variety of environmental or activity hazards. Historically, the majority of armour was made from leather or fabric, but metal protections were also utilized, especially for military applications like heavy cavalry and combat drones.
As with weapons there are a myriad of ways in which armor can be upgraded, but most will require visiting one of the four Great Fairy Fountains located throughout Hyrule. Each fountain has a distinct degree of improvement, with higher levels of protection that require more rupees and materials.
The first thing to note 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 there is another piece of equipment that has the same upgrade. It is essential to only apply the highest grade of upgrades to your equipment and that you have enough of the materials needed to complete them.
You can find the upgrade components you need in many locations throughout Hyrule. These include shrines, merchants, and even enemies. They're usually identified with a blue triangle or a gold circle symbol and are found in huge quantities as you progress. While they might appear randomly, there's a chance that acquiring certain upgrade components will result in a quest that will reward players with more.
It's also worth noting that even though the amount of protection provided by each upgrade is different but it's the same across all upgrades and will always be better than nothing. A complete set of upgraded armor will give you a strong defense boost that protects you from all types of attacks, except magic. This makes it an effective weapon for all classes.
Weapons
You can upgrade your guns by using special upgrades that create a truly unique weapon. These upgrades can increase damage or alter the stats of the weapon to match your build. They can also unlock new attachments, such as unique enchantments, different types of ammo, and aesthetic options.
You'll require both the upgrade component as well as the weapon itself to upgrade it. The weapon must also be at a certain level for the upgrade to be effective and most weapons only take one upgrade at a time.
Weapon upgrade components can be found all over the world, from enemies or from merchants. The upgrade components themselves are a mix of ingredients that can be slotted into weapons, armor trinkets and gathering tools to provide an attribute bonus or extra effect while they're in use. The equipment must be a certain level to accept the upgrade. It can be upgraded in 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. These upgrades can be obtained from enemies in the open world or from merchants. They can also be obtained through combat.
item upgrading can upgrade your weapon: 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 will take 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 ones you're not likely to replace in the near future. If you're planning on playing a melee build, for instance, upgrade your weapon first, then your chest and shoulders followed by your hands and feet. The same principle applies to Magic and Utility Items. But, depending on your playstyle, some procs will be more useful than others. Armour is the same, with certain reforges better than others.
Magic Items
A character can only upgrade one item of magic at a time. If an upgrade project is cancelled, no more upgrades will be made for the item. Magic items that are upgraded cost twice the amount of gold they normally cost to create or buy however they may offer additional advantages.
A magical item is any item that has some special properties or effects. These are typically weapons, but they can also be shields, armors, cloaks and potions. They can also be rings, scrolls, or other items. Some of these items are sentient.
Many magic items can be enhanced in their abilities. This can make them more useful to a player, or it can help them overcome any difficult situation. A weapon that is infused can provide an additional amount of damage to a specific enemy type, for example. This is especially useful for characters who have reached a point at which they will likely face the same kind of monster in dungeons over and over again.
An infused ring might confer the ability to resist piercing, bludgeoning or slashing injuries from non-magical attacks (not even silvered ones) until the next time the character takes a long rest. This is particularly useful for melee martial characters or anyone who wants to stay clear of buying an armor.
Certain enchanted objects possess special abilities that allow the character to cast spells that aren't on their class list. This is beneficial for characters who have trouble filling their spell slots due to multiclassing. These enchanted items typically require an Intelligence (Arcana) check prior to use, and the spell cast is determined by rolling a table based on the number of Intelligence points used.
Other objects that are enchanted can allow the character's appearance change or create a completely new one. These can be particularly useful for characters who have had to leave their home, or are in a place that they aren't welcome. A magical item could grant them invisibility or make them invisible for everyone except the chosen person.
Utility Items
Utility items are any equipment that does not fall into the categories of clothing or armor and have a variety of capabilities. Utility items are not compatible with each other, in contrast to weapons or armor. The majority of utility items have a passive effect which players can activate while using them. However, some of them have additional abilities which are activated by pressing a button, or by activating an ability.
The Flashlight is the most common accessory. It is used to illuminate the area around it. Other utility items include the Helicopter Cap and Rocket Boots which allow the player to float in mid-air while moving and the Jetpack which allows the player to accelerate in all directions when on the ground. Several utilitarian items can be quickly produced in the Engineering section, while others can be unlocked through research projects or experimental 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. Some of these items can be upgraded for more efficient use.
Most utility items increase the combat ability of a particular character or give the player some kind of navigation advantage. For instance, sharpening stones created by the Weaponsmith increase Power and Ferocity, while Maintenance Oils crafted by the Huntsman boost the power of concentration and healing. Other utility items like Writs and Theses crafted by the Scribe can be used to give players either an increase in damage or condition damage.
XCOM soldiers can equip a single utility item to begin the campaign. A second slot is available once you have completed certain research, engineering or experiments on the Proving Ground. In the Alien Hunters downloadable content, additional slots can be obtained by equipping a Grenade Launcher. This permits the player to make use of a Smoke Grenade or Bomb while an offensive grenade is kept in the main slot.
