WoW Item Upgrades
More commonly referred to as "upping"--are items and enchantments that can be applied to weapons and armor pieces and increase their power. These upgrade item s add a number of points to the level gauge for the item, with their costs scaling with their popularity.
A perfectly made version of this armor is highly prized in the melee PvP community due to its ability to minimize weapon damage.
Type-restricted upgrades
The process of upgrading is a vital part of the crafting process. They can enhance the quality of an item as well as make it stronger or less durable, and even provide an additional benefit. They can also change the appearance of an item. While some upgrades are universal, others have specific rules for armor or weapons. Using the wrong type of upgrade could ruin a excellent weapon, and could even render it unusable.
A general rule is that you should only upgrade an piece of equipment to the standard of the highest-level gear in its category. This means that you are able to upgrade helms, body armors, shields and gloves to the same level as their highest-level counterparts. Weapons on the other hand, can be upgraded to the level of a sword. However, this doesn't boost the weapon's damage output and could decrease its value in trade.
You can upgrade an item by using crests or flightstones. The amount of each depends on the item level and slot. Upgrades to swords, for example will cost more flightstones compared to upgrading the cloth. Also, you can get discounts on the amount of flightstones or crests required to upgrade an item.
When you upgrade an item, it fills its diamond-shaped indicator. Each step raises the item's Tier level by one-third. Tier 3 is the highest level. It can take several upgrades to reach this level, depending on the item. It is crucial to remember that any procedures that might mount a disk must not be performed during an upgrade. Additionally, you should ensure that the disk being upgraded is not used as a system disk.
Enchantment lets you change white or Common items to rare or blue items. Eleanor's Enchantment Shop in the Capital District is where you can do this. This process does not add gems or rune slots to the equipment, however it does alter the size of the equipment. It increases the equipment's size by the size two categories smaller. For example, the size of a Stormtrooper armor is Medium, and Blaster Pistol Small.
Universal upgrades
Universal upgrades are upgrades that can be utilized on any type of equipment. This includes armor, weapons and trinkets. item upgrading are usually random drops, however they can also be found from completing Side Quests. Universal upgrades can be temporary or permanent, and they can overlap with Power-Ups. They may be linear or branching.
Universal Upgrades start when "internal technology" can give sentient beings new capabilities they are extremely unlikely to develop in natural ways. Implants and prostheses are examples of internal technology. This kind of improvement is not the same as medical internal technology which seeks to restore the capabilities of nature. It is the start of the process that will alter civilizations fundamentally. The universal upgrade is a complicated procedure that can take several years to complete. However, the process can be divided into two categories: complete success and partial failure.
Similar to the way resort upgrades are implemented at Disney and Universal. In the case of WDW, this is usually due to operational reasons such as room availability or overbooking. In the case of Universal this could be to move guests to a different resort that is open. This is not intended to be rude but it can be unavoidable in the present climate.
Unlike Runes, Sigils and Jewels, which can only be applied to certain types of equipment (armor weapons, trinkets or weapons) universal upgrades can be applied to any type of gear. They can also be applied to multiple items at once. They are therefore more flexible than any other upgrade type. However, this flexibility could cause issues when upgrading items in the same gear path because it increases the value of all the pieces within that path.
Before upgrading, it's important to stop PowerShell Universal and delete any existing application files. After that you can install the new files using the Get-ChildItem-Recurse or Unblock-File commands. It is also recommended to perform a basic validation against your PSU server to ensure that it works correctly.
Jewels
Jewels are upgrades that can be put into weapons, armor and accessories. The gems and reagents used to create them provide different stat bonuses as well as secondary effect. They are available in Golden Chests and Rift Incursions. They can be purchased from a master craftsman for gold or karma. Jewels can also been made on a jewelry table with one gem and five of the same type of chemical reagents to create a gem that is of a lower or higher tier. This process is similar to upgrading a gem using a table for gem crafting.
Jewel tiers are determined by the number of modifiers they have which means that higher-tier jewels have more modifiers than lower-tier ones. The primary effect is determined by a jewel's tier. The secondary effect is random. Players can make use of luck potions in order to increase their chances of getting better secondary effects.
Jewels can also be added to items that have sockets that match, just like other upgrade components. For example Garnet Pebble (gemstone) and an Adorned Garnet Jewel (jewel) both provide a bonus to strength, but the Garnet Pebble only increases regular hits while the Garnet Jewel also boosts the player's strong attacks. Jewels can be put into every level of armor, weapon, and accessory slots, as well as some trinkets with exotic or lower rarity that require an unused slot.
Gems are a DM-specific mechanism that allows items to feel special to their owners. With a range of upgrade options jewels let players alter their equipment to find the best combination for their needs. They can upgrade their equipment by purchasing new gems if they feel the existing set is no longer appropriate.
Requirements
WoW's item upgrades allow players to level up the levels of their equipment set pieces, weapons and trinkets beyond their current level of item from specific Mists of Pandaria and Warlords of Draenor sources. These upgrades increase the stats of the base item and some also offer special effects (such as Dolphin's Grace which allows players to feel like dolphins while they swim). The players can get these upgrades at any upgrader NPC or by rescuing the items that contain them, with a variety of items dropping different upgrade components.
The process of upgrading is quite complex, but simple. First, the player picks the item they wish to upgrade and then click on the Upgrade button. A window will open with the various upgrades available for the item. This window will display the upgrade level, the upgrade type bonus (such a Tech Points or a Quality Chance) and the cost of upgrading. The upgrade level is displayed in a bar at the top of the screen and the upgrade type bonus is displayed below it.
If the player chooses to upgrade the item the item will be taken to the upgrader NPC who will explain the process of upgrading the item. The player must then provide the correct currency and, if required, additional materials. These requirements are based on the item's level and the weapon's requirements are typically higher requirements than armor.
Many upgrade recipes come with an acceptable material list as well as the required components. This list shows what other upgrade components are available on the item, and also includes a flag that indicates whether the item can be guaranteed to boost or extra effect. This is crucial because the value of an upgrade may differ greatly based on its 'extras.' For example the gear that is perfectly rolled can be worth more than the unupgraded version.
For the types of upgrades that require crests and valorstones, they will be listed in a separate list below the main list. The amount of crests and valorstones needed depends on the level of the item. Upgrades to weapons require the most Valorstones.
