WoW Item Upgrades
More commonly referred to as "upping"--are enchantments and items that can be applied to armor and weapons and increase their effectiveness. These upgrades can increase the gauge of an item by a specific number of points. Their costs scale depending on their rarity.
A perfectly formed version of this armor is highly sought-after in the melee PvP community for its ability to limit weapon damage.
Type-restricted upgrades
The upgrading process is an essential part of the crafting process. They can improve an item's stats, make it stronger or less durable, and even give it an added benefit. They can also alter the appearance of an item. While certain upgrades are universal, others are governed by specific rules for applying to weapons or armor. Making the wrong upgrade can destroy a fantastic weapon, and could even render it unusable.
As a general rule it is possible to 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 equivalent of the sword. This does not increase the weapon's output of damage, but can reduce the value of its trade.
You can upgrade an item by using flightstones or crests. The amount of each depends on the level of the item and slot. Upgrades to a sword, for example, will cost more flightstones than upgrading the Cloak. You can also avail discounts on the amount of flightstones and crests required to upgrade an item.
When you upgrade an item, it fills its diamond-shaped indicator. Each step increases the Tier level by one-third. Tier 3 is the highest level. It could take a few upgrades to get to this level, based on the item. It is crucial to remember that any procedure that could be used to mount a disk must not be performed when upgrading. Also, you must ensure that the disk you're upgrading is not being used as an operating system drive.
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 it. This process does not add gems or rune slots to the equipment, but it does change the size of the equipment. It increases the size of equipment by the size of a creature that is two categories smaller, so for instance the Blaster Pistol is considered Small and an Stormtrooper Armor is Medium.
Universal upgrades
Universal upgrades are upgrades that can be made on any kind of equipment. This includes weapons, armor and trinkets. Upgrade components can be obtained from Side Quests or random drops. Universal upgrades can be temporary or permanent, and can be combined with Power Ups. They may be linear or branching.
Universal Upgrades begin when "internal technology" can provide sentient beings new capabilities that are unlikely to develop naturally. Implants and prostheses are two examples of internal technology. This type of technology is not the same as medical internal technology which seeks to restore the natural capabilities. It is rather the beginning of an upgrade process that alters civilizations in a fundamentally different way. The universal upgrade is a lengthy and complex process. The process can be divided in two categories that are complete success and partial failure.
It's similar to how resort upgrades work at Disney and Universal. In the case WDW, this is usually due to operational requirements such as room availability or overbooking. In the case of Universal the reason could be to transfer guests from one resort to another one that is open. This is not meant to be rude but it can be unavoidable in the current climate.
Unlike Runes, Sigils and Jewels that can only be applied to specific types of equipment (armor trinkets, weapons, or), universal upgrades can be applied to any type of gear. They can also be applied to multiple items at the same time. This makes them more versatile than other upgrade types. This can be a problem when upgrading items along the same gear route. It can increase the item levels of all pieces along that path.
Before you upgrade, it is essential to stop the PowerShell Universal service and delete the application files that are already in use. Then you can install the new files using the GetChildItem-Recurse command, or Unblock-File. It is also recommended to perform a basic validation against your PSU server to ensure that it is operating properly.
Jewels
Jewels can be incorporated into weapons, armor or other accessories. They give varying stat bonuses and secondary effects based on the gem and reagent that is used to make them. They can be found in Golden Chests, Rift Incursions, V Blood Carriers, and regular enemies. They can also be purchased from a Master Craftsman in exchange for karma or gold. Jewels can be created using a jewelry table by using 5 of the same reagent type and 1 gem to make an item with an upper or lower tier. This process is similar to upgrading a stone on an instrument for gem crafting.
Jewel tiers are determined by the number of modifiers they have and higher-tier jewels have more than lower-tier ones. The primary effect of a jewel is determined by the tier it's and the secondary effect is randomly generated players can use luck potions to increase the chance of having better secondary effects.
Jewels can be incorporated into items that have sockets that match as with other upgrade components. For instance, a Garnet Pebble (gemstone) and an Adorned Garnet Jewel (jewel) both provide a bonus to strength, but the Garnet Pebble only increases the number of hits that are regular, while the Garnet Jewel also boosts the player's powerful attacks. upgrade item can be placed in all armor, weapon and accessory slots. They also work with exotic trinkets or lower rarity trinkets that require slots.
As with other DM mechanics, gems aid to ensure that items are special to their owners. Jewels offer a variety upgrade paths that allow players to customize and find the perfect combination for their needs. They can also upgrade their existing equipment with new jewels if the initial set of a given type is no longer optimal.
Requirements
The upgrade of items in WoW allows players to increase the level of their equipment, weapons and trinkets above their current level using specific Mists of Pandaria or Warlords of Draenor resources. These upgrades boost the stats of items and some have special effects. (For instance, Dolphin's grace gives swimmers the same grace as dolphins). These upgrades can be obtained by upgrading the item or by salvaging it. Different items drop various upgrade components.
The process of upgrading is somewhat complicated, but it's simple. The player first selects the item he wants to upgrade and then clicks the Upgrade button. A window will open with the different upgrades available for this item. This window will show the upgrade level, any upgrade type bonus (such as Tech Points or Quality Chance) and the cost of the upgrade. The bonus for upgrading will be displayed below the bar that displays the upgrade level.
If the player decides to upgrade the item the item will be delivered to the NPC who is upgrading who will explain how to upgrade the item. The player will then have to provide the correct currency needed for the upgrade and may be asked to provide additional items when needed. These requirements are based on the level of manufacture, with weapons typically having higher requirements than armor.
Many upgrade recipes contain the list of acceptable material in addition to the components required. This list outlines what other upgrade components can be used on the item, and includes a flag indicating whether that item has a guaranteed boost or other effect. This is important as the value of an upgrade may vary greatly depending on its 'extras.' For example an item that is properly rolled could be worth much more than the non-upgraded version.
The list of upgrade types that require crests or valorstones will be displayed separately below the main list. The number of crests and the valorstones needed depends on the item's level. Upgrades to weapons require the most Valorstones.
