World of Warcraft Item Upgrades

Item upgrades provide players with the ability to upgrade equipment that they already have. This can be done at any item upgrader NPC.

Upgrades increase the main stat of an item upgrader mod, and can also add extras depending on its type. Examples include Whistan's shield for FB sorcs, or Goldwrap for casting builds.

Armour

Link's armor is a crucial factor in keeping him safe from harm. Although it isn't able to be upgraded like weapons, it is able to be improved in different ways to enhance its defense capabilities.

Armour is designed to shield people or animals from harm or injury from direct physical attack or from a variety of hazards posed by the environment or activities. Historically, most armour was made of fabric or leather, but metal protections were also employed in military applications, particularly like heavy cavalry or combat drones.

There are many ways to upgrade armour, but the majority of them require you to visit one of the four Great Fairy Fountains scattered throughout Hyrule. Each fountain has a distinct level of upgrade and more protection levels requiring more rupees and other materials.

The first thing you need to know about Armor Upgrades is that they are upgrades that last forever and once they've been installed, they cannot be replaced unless you own another piece of equipment that has the same upgrade. You should only apply most advanced upgrades to your equipment, and ensure that you have the equipment required 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 a blue triangle or a gold circle symbol. They can be found in great quantities as you progress. They could appear randomly, but there is a possibility that getting certain upgrades can trigger a quest that will reward you with more.

It's also worth noting that although the level of protection offered by each upgrade differs, it is the same across all upgrades and will always be superior to nothing. A full set of upgraded armor will give you a powerful defense boost that protects you from any kind of attack and will also protect against magic. This makes it a formidable weapon for any class.

Weapons

If you'd like to make your guns truly unique, you can enhance them by utilizing a variety of unique upgrades. They can increase the damage, change the weapon's stats to cater to your specific build or even unlock new attachments such as unique ammo types, enchantments and other options for aesthetics.

To upgrade a weapon you'll need to have an upgrade component in place as well as the item itself. The weapon should also be at a certain level for the upgrade to be effective and the majority of weapons can only take one upgrade at a time.

There are weapons upgrade components scattered throughout the globe and even from enemies and can be purchased from vendors. Upgrade components are a mixture of ingredients that you can put into weapons, armors, trinkets and gathering tools to earn an attribute bonus. The equipment has to be of a certain level before it can accept the upgrade. It is able to be upgraded in the same way as other items.

The upgrades themselves are a combination of Smithing Stones and Runes, and they can be used to enhance the base stats of a weapon and improving its scaling with other stats. They can be obtained from enemies dropped in the open world, purchased from certain vendors or found from combat.

There are two NPCs who 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 accept your Smithing Stones or Runes to upgrade your weapon.

It's crucial to prioritise upgrading your top-of-the-line items first, and then those you won't be replacing soon. Upgrade your weapon first, and then upgrade your chest, shoulders, hands, and feet if you plan to play in a melee-based build. The same principles apply to Magic and Utility Items, with the caveat that some procs may be better than others depending on your playstyle. Armour is not any different, with some refining better than others.

Magic Items

A character can upgrade only one magic item at one time. If an upgrade project is canceled, no further upgrades will be made for the item. Magic items that are upgraded will cost twice the gold they would normally cost to create or purchase however they may offer additional benefits.

A magical item is any item upgrade that has special properties or effects. These are usually weapons, but they could also be shields, armors and cloaks, as well as potions. They can also be scrolls, rings or other items. Some of these items may be made sentient.

Many magic items can have their abilities enhanced. This makes them more useful to a player, or it can help them overcome any difficult situation. A weapon infused with an ingredient that is unique could offer, for instance, an extra level of damage to a particular enemy type. This is particularly beneficial for characters who have reached a level where they will likely face the same kind of monster in dungeons repeatedly.

A ring that is infused with magic may provide immunity to nonmagical attacks that bludgeon, pierce or cut (excluding attacks that are silvered) until the character takes another long rest. This is particularly beneficial for combatants who are melee or anyone who wants to avoid buying a shield.

Certain enchanted objects possess special powers which allow the character to cast spells that are not in their class list. This is useful for characters who have difficulty filling their spell slots due to multiclassing. These magical objects require an Intelligence check (Arcana), and the spell is determined by rolling a table based on the number of Intelligence points expended.

Other objects with enchanted powers could allow the character's appearance be changed, or they could even create a new appearance. These can be particularly useful for characters who have had to leave their home, or are in a situation where they might not be welcome. A magical item can grant them invisibility or make them invisible to everyone except the chosen person.

Utility Items

Utility items are anything that doesn't fall under the categories of Armor or Clothing and have a variety of capabilities. Unlike Armor and Weapons and Clothing, no utility item can conflict with another. Most utility items have an effect that a player can activate by using them but some have additional abilities that are activated when the user presses the button or activates a skill.

The Flashlight is the most common utilitarian item upgrades. It illuminates the surrounding area. Other utilities include the Helicopter Hat and Rocket Boots, which allow the player to be floating in the air while moving and the Jetpack which allows players to accelerate in any direction while on the ground. A variety of utilitarian items can be quickly created in the Engineering section while others can be unlocked through research projects or projects in the Proving Ground.

In addition to the items available in the standard inventory, players can unlock the most useful items of utility by buying 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 increase an individual combat ability or give the player a kind of navigation advantage. For instance, Sharpening stones crafted by the Weaponsmith boost Ferocity and Power and Maintenance Oils made by the Huntsman boost Concentration and Healing Power. Other items of utility can be used by players to increase Damage or Condition Damage.

XCOM soldiers can equip one accessory item to start the campaign. An additional slot is available after completing certain research, engineering or research projects on the Proving Ground. During the Alien Hunters DLC, additional slots are created 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 slot for grenades.
