World of Warcraft Item Upgrades
Upgrades to items give players the ability to upgrade equipment that they already own. This can be accomplished by any item upgrader NPC.
Upgrades can boost the stats of an item and 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 element to protect him from danger. While it cannot be upgraded like weapons, it can still be improved in different ways to increase its defence capabilities.
Armour is designed to shield animals and people from injury or harm from direct physical attack or from a variety of hazards posed by the environment or activities. In the past, most armour was made from fabric or leather, but metal protections were also employed particularly for military purposes like heavy cavalry and combat drones.
There are many ways to upgrade armour however, the majority require you to visit one of the four Great Fairy Fountains scattered throughout Hyrule. Each fountain provides a different degree of improvement, with more protection levels requiring more rupees as well as materials.
First, Armor Upgrades are permanent upgrades. Once they've been put in place they aren't able to be removed unless you own another piece of gear 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 the process.
In terms of acquiring the upgrade items components needed, you'll find them all over Hyrule such as shrines, merchants as well as enemies. These will generally be marked with an gold circle or blue triangle, and will be available in large quantities as you progress through the game. They could appear randomly, but there is a chance that obtaining certain upgrades will trigger a quest which will reward you with more.
It is important to remember that even though the amount offered by each upgrade could differ, it will always be higher than nothing. This is due to the fact that a full set of upgraded armor 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 type of.
Weapons
You can upgrade your guns with special upgrades that make them truly unique. These upgrades can increase damage or alter the stats of the weapon in accordance with your particular build. They also allow new attachments, such as unique enchantments and different kinds of ammunition, and aesthetic options.

Weapon upgrade components are available all over the world, from a variety of sources, including merchants or enemies. The upgrade components themselves are a mix of ingredients that can be put into weapons, armor, trinkets, and gathering tools to grant an attribute bonus or extra effect when they are in use. They require equipment to be of a certain degree to accept the upgrade item and can be upgraded in the same manner as other items.
Upgrades are a mixture of Smithing Stones (a type of stone) and Runes. They are used to improve the effectiveness of weapons and enhance their ability to scale with other stats. These upgrades can be purchased from enemies in the open world, or from merchants. They can also be dropped by 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, then those you won't be replacing in the near future. If you're playing an asymmetrical build, for instance upgrade your weapon, then your chest and shoulders before your feet and hands. The same principles apply to Magic and Utility Items, with the caveat that some items may be better than others based on the style of play you prefer. The same goes for Armour Reforges, with certain types having superior performance over others.
Magic Items
A character is able to upgrade only one magic item. If an upgrade project is canceled, no further upgrades will be made for the item upgrader. Magic items that are upgraded will cost twice the amount of gold it would cost to make or purchase however they may have extra advantages.

A weapon that is infused can provide bonus damage against a particular type of enemy, for instance. This is especially useful for characters that have reached a level where they will likely face the same type of monster in dungeons over and over again.
An infused ring might confer immunity to bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage from nonmagical attacks (not including silver-plated ones) until the next time the character is taking a long rest. This is particularly useful for combatants who are melee or anyone who wants to avoid purchasing a shield.
Some enchanted items have special abilities that allow the character to cast spells in addition to those on their class's spell list. This is helpful for characters who have difficulty filling their spell slots because of multiclassing. These enchanted items generally require an Intelligence (Arcana) check prior to use, and the spell's effectiveness is determined by rolling an index determined by the number of Intelligence points used.
Other objects that are enchanted can allow the player's appearance to be altered, or they could even create a completely new one. These items are especially useful for characters who were forced to leave their home or in a location where they may not be accepted. A magical item may provide them with invisibility or make them invisible to anyone, excluding the person they choose to.
Utility Items
Utility items are products that do not fall under the categories of clothing, armor or Weapons and have a range of different capabilities. Utility items are not compatible with each other, in contrast to Armor or Weapons. Most utility items have an effect that the player can activate when using them, but some have additional abilities that are triggered when the user presses a button or activates a skill.
Generally, the most common kind of utility item upgrading is the Flashlight, which illuminates the surrounding area. Other utility items include the Helicopter Cap and Rocket Boots which allow the player to float in mid-air while 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 unlocked by Research projects or experimental projects on the Proving Ground.
Players can gain more powerful utility items in addition to the ones they have in their usual inventory by purchasing them from the Atomic Shop or from seasonal Scoreboard rewards. Certain of these items can be upgraded for greater effectiveness.
Most utility items increase the combat ability of a particular character or give the player some kind of advantage when it comes to navigation. For example, Sharpening stones crafted by the Weaponsmith boost Ferocity and Power and Maintenance Oils made by the Huntsman improve Concentration and Healing Power. Other items that are useful can be utilized by players to increase Damage or Condition Damage.
XCOM soldiers can equip one accessory item to start the campaign. A second slot is available once you have completed certain research, engineering or experimental projects on the Proving Ground. In the Alien Hunters DLC, additional slots are created by equipping the Grenade Launcher, which allows players to equip a Smoke Grenade or Bomb in another grenade slot. an offensive grenade is equipped in the main slot for grenades.
