World of Warcraft Item Upgrades

The item upgrade feature lets players upgrade their existing equipment. This can be done through any item upgrader NPC.

Upgrades boost the stats of an item and add additional features based on the type of item. Examples include Whistan’s shield for FB Sorcs or Goldwraps for build casters.

Armour

Link's armor is a crucial element to protect him from harm. While it can't be upgraded like weapons, it is able to be improved in a variety of ways to enhance its defense capabilities.

The basic idea of armour is to safeguard animals or people from physical injury or harm in the form of direct physical attack or various dangers to the environment or activity. In the past, armour was typically made of leather or fabric, but later metal protections were also utilized particularly in military applications such as heavy cavalry or combat drones.

There are many ways to upgrade your armour, however the majority require you to visit one of the four Great Fairy Fountains scattered throughout Hyrule. Each fountain has a distinct level of upgrade, with higher levels of protection requiring more rupees as well as materials.

First, Armor Upgrades are permanent upgrades. Once they've been installed and removed, they cannot be reverted in the event that you own a piece of equipment with the same upgrade. You should only apply most advanced upgrades to your equipment and ensure that you have all the components required to complete them.

You can find the upgrade components you need in many locations throughout Hyrule. These include merchants, shrines and even enemies. These will generally be marked with an gold circle or blue triangle symbol, and will be available in large quantities as you advance through the game. Although they can appear randomly, there's an opportunity that obtaining certain upgrade components will lead to an adventure that rewards players with more.

It's also worth noting that, even though the level of protection offered by each upgrade differs, it is the same for all upgrades and will always be better than nothing. This is due to the fact that a full set of upgraded armour will give you a significant defense boost, which will shield you from all kinds of attacks, except magic and makes it a formidable tool for any class.

Weapons

If you're looking to make your guns distinctive, you can upgrade them with a variety of special upgrades. They can increase the damage, change the weapon's stats to cater to your specific build, and even unlock new attachments, such as unique ammo types, enchantments and more aesthetic options.

You'll require both the upgrade component and the weapon itself to upgrade it. The weapon must also be at or above a certain point for the upgrade to take effect and most 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 bought from a merchant. The upgrade components themselves are a mix of components that can be slotted into weapons, armor, trinkets, and gathering tools to give an attribute bonus or extra effect when they are in use. The equipment must be a certain level in order to 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 also to increase its scalability with other stats. They can be obtained from enemies dropped in the open, bought from certain merchants or found from combat.

Two NPCs can enhance 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 higher-level version of the weapon as well as an enhancement.

It's important to prioritize upgrading your best-in-slot items first, followed by items that you won't need to replace in the near future. Upgrade your weapon first, then upgrade your shoulders, chest, hands, and feet when you are planning to play a melee build. The same principles apply to Magic and Utility Items, with the caveat that certain products may be superior to others, based on your style of play. Similar is the case for Armour, with some reforges having superior performance over others.

Magic Items

A character can only upgrade one item of magic at a time. If an upgrade project is cancelled, any subsequent upgrades for the item will not start. Magic items that are upgraded will cost twice the amount of gold they normally cost to create or purchase however, they also provide additional benefits.

A magical item is an item that has some special properties or effects. Most of these items are weapons, however some are also shields, armor, cloaks, potions, scrolls, rings and other items. Some of these items are sentient.

Many magic items can enhance their capabilities. This could make them more beneficial to players or help players overcome difficult situations. Infused weapons can offer an additional amount of damage to a specific enemy type, for example. This is particularly beneficial for characters that have reached a point at which they will likely face the same kind of monster repeatedly in dungeons.

A ring infused by magic could give immunity to non-magical attacks that bludgeon, pierce or slash (excluding silvered attacks) until the character is given a second rest. This is especially beneficial for combatants who are melee, or any character who wants to avoid the cost and hassle of purchasing shields.

Some enchanted items have special abilities that let the character cast spells in addition to those on the list of spells for their class. This is useful for a character who has trouble filling their spell slots because of multiclassing. These items with enchanted abilities generally require an Intelligence (Arcana) check prior to use them, and the spell's effectiveness is determined by rolling an index based on the number of Intelligence points used.

Other objects with enchanted powers could allow the player's appearance to be altered or create a new appearance. These are particularly beneficial for characters who have had to leave their homes, or who are in a situation where they might not be accepted. An enchanted item might grant them an invisibility effect, or perhaps make them invisible to all but a select few.

Utility Items

Utility items are any equipment that isn't part of the categories of Clothing or Armor and are able to perform a variety of capabilities. Utility items aren't compatible with each other, unlike Armor or Weapons. Most utility items provide an effect that the player can activate when using them, however, some come with additional capabilities that are activated when the user presses a button or activates an ability.

Generally speaking, the most popular kind of utilitarian item upgrading 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 which allows the player to accelerate in any directions 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.

Players can gain more powerful utility items in addition to the ones available in their regular inventory by purchasing them from the Atomic Shop or from seasonal Scoreboard rewards. Certain of these items can be upgraded for greater effectiveness.

The majority of utility items give the player a navigational advantage or increase the ability to fight. Sharpening stones, created by the Weaponsmith can boost power and Ferocity while Maintenance Oils, crafted by an Huntsman will increase concentration and healing power. Other utility items can be used by the player to boost Damage or Condition Damage.

All XCOM soldiers are capable of equipping one utility item at the beginning of the campaign, and an additional slot becomes available by acquiring certain types of armor or completing engineering research or experiments in the Proving Ground. During the Alien Hunters DLC, additional slots are created by equipping the Grenade Launcher which lets the player equip a Smoke Grenade or Bomb in another grenade slot. an offensive grenade can be placed in the main grenade slot.
