WoW Item Upgrades
Item upgrades--more commonly known as "upping"--are an enchantment and item that can be applied to armor and weapons and increase their stats. These upgrade items increase the gauge of an item by a certain number of points. Their costs scale depending on their rarity.
A perfectly formed version of this armor is highly prized in the melee PvP community due to its ability to minimize the damage caused by weapons.
Type-restricted upgrades
The upgrading process is an essential part of the crafting process. They can improve an item's stats as well as make it stronger or weaker, and even give it an additional benefit. They also affect the item's appearance. While certain upgrades are universal, other are governed by specific rules when applied to armor or weapons. Making the wrong upgrade can ruin an otherwise fantastic weapon, and could even lead to it becoming ineffective.
As a general rule you can only upgrade the equipment you have to the level of its top-level counterpart. You are able to upgrade helms only to the highest level. Weapons can be upgraded up to the level equivalent of the sword. This does not increase the weapon's output of damage, but it can decrease the value of trade.
To upgrade an item you need to purchase flightstones and crests. The amount of both depends on the level of the item as well as the slot. Upgrades to swords, for instance, will cost more flightstones than an upgrade to an Cloak. You can also avail discounts on the number of crests and flightstones needed to upgrade an item.
The diamond-shaped indicator on an item gets filled up when it's upgraded. Each step increases the item's Tier by one-third. Tier 3 is the highest level. Depending on the item it could require a different amount of upgrades to reach this point. It is essential to keep in mind that any procedure that could mount a disk shouldn't be performed during the process of upgrading. In addition, you need to ensure that the disk being upgraded is not used as a system disk.
Enchantment lets you change white or Common items to blue or rare ones. Eleanor's Enchantment Shop, located in the Capital District is where you can do it. This procedure does not add gem or rune slots to the equipment but it does change its size. It increases the size of the equipment by the size two categories smaller. For instance an example, a Stormtrooper armor is Medium, and a Blaster Pistol Small.
Universal upgrades
Universal upgrades are upgrades that can be applied to any type of equipment. This includes armor, weapons and trinkets. Upgrade components are available through Side Quests or random drops. Universal upgrades can be temporary or permanent and can also be combined with Power-Ups. They can also be branching or linear.
Universal Upgrades start when "internal technology" can give sentient beings new capabilities they are unlikely to develop naturally. Implants and prostheses are both examples of internal technology. This type of upgrade is different from medical internal technology which seeks to restore natural capabilities. It is the beginning of the process that will alter civilizations fundamentally. The universal upgrade is a complicated procedure that can take a long time to complete. The process can be classified into two types: complete success and partial failure.
This is similar to the ways that resort upgrades are implemented at Disney or Universal. In the case WDW the reason for this is usually due to operational needs like availability of rooms or overbooking. In the case of Universal, this could be to transfer guests from one resort to another one that is open. This is not intended to be a mean-spirited thing however it could be inevitable in the current environment.
Unlike Runes, Sigils and Jewels that are only applicable to specific types of equipment (armor trinkets, weapons, or), universal upgrades can be applied to any equipment. They can be used on multiple items at the same time. They are therefore more adaptable than any other upgrade type. This flexibility can be a problem when upgrading items that are on a particular gear route. It will increase the levels of each of the items on that path.
Prior to performing an upgrade, it's important to stop the PowerShell Universal service and delete the existing application files. After that, you can install the new files using the Get-ChildItem -Recurse or the Unblock-File command. To ensure that your PSU server is operating properly you must also conduct an initial validation.
Jewels
Jewels are enhancements that can be put into weapons, armor and accessories. They give varying stat bonuses and secondary effects based on the gemstone and reagent used to create them. They are found in Golden Chests and Rift Incursions. They can also be bought from a master craftsman for gold or karma. Jewels can also be made at a table for jewelry using one gem and five of the same type of reagent to create a jewel that is of a lower or higher level; this procedure is identical to upgrading a gem using a table for gem crafting.
Jewel tiers are based on the amount of modifiers they have and higher-tier jewels have more than lower-tier ones. The primary effect is determined by the jewel's tier, whereas the secondary effect is random. The players can use luck potions to increase their chances of receiving better secondary effects.
Jewels can be added to items with matching sockets, just like other upgrade components. A Garnet Jewel and a Garnet Stone both boost power however, a Garnet Jewel also boosts a player's ability to strike with force. Jewels can be placed in every level of armor, weapon and accessory slots, as well as some trinkets of exotic or lower rarity that require a slot that is not used.
Gems are a specific mechanic for DMs that can help make items feel special to their owners. Through offering a variety of different upgrade paths gems let players modify their equipment and choose the right combination for their needs. They can upgrade their gear by purchasing new gems if they feel the existing set is no longer appropriate.
Requirements
WoW's item upgrades allow players to increase the item levels of equipment set pieces, weapons and trinkets beyond their current item level from specific Mists of Pandaria and Warlords of Draenor sources. These upgrades boost the base stats of the item and some also offer special effects (such as Dolphin's Grace, which allows players to feel like dolphins while they swim). These upgrades can be obtained by upgrading items or reclaiming them. Different items will drop various upgrade components.
The upgrade process is quite complex, but simple. First, the player chooses the item they want to upgrade, and then click on the Upgrade button. A window will appear with the various upgrades available for this item. The window will display the upgrade level, any upgrade type bonus (such as Tech Points or Quality Chance), and the cost of the upgrade. The upgrade level is displayed in a bar at the top of the screen. the upgrade type bonus is shown below it.
If the player chooses to upgrade their item, the item will be brought to the NPC who is upgrading, who will explain the procedure for upgrading the item. The player then has to provide the proper currency to make the upgrade, and could be asked to provide additional materials should they require it. These requirements are based on the item level and the weapon's requirements are typically higher requirements than armor.
In addition to the required upgrade components, a lot of upgrade recipes also have an 'Acceptable Materials' list. This list outlines what other upgrade components are available on the item, and includes an indication of whether the item is guaranteed to boost or extra effect. This is important as the value of an upgrade can differ greatly based on its 'extras. For instance the gear that is perfectly rolled can be worth more than a non-upgraded model.
For the kinds of upgrades that require crests or valorstones, these will be listed in a separate list below the main list. The crests and valorstones required depend on the item level and weapon upgrades needing the most Valorstones.
