What is an Item Upgrader?
Item upgrader allows players to increase the quality of their equipment. The upgrade of items requires the appropriate currencies and items. For weapons and armor, this includes Valorstones and crests.
Other upgrades, such as Hot Potato Books, give weapons a stat boost or let them be used in dungeons. These upgrades are generally available in the cash shop.
Leveling
A variety of sources can be used to upgrade the level of equipment. Based on the type of item and upgrade track, it costs Valorstones or Crests to raise an item's levels. Weapons, for instance cost more than bracers or gloves.
You can also upgrade items in the game. Upgrade shards can be obtained by defeating bosses on any dungeon. These shards can be used to upgrade armor and weapons sets, allowing for them to reach their maximum level. They can only be upgraded once.
A gem can be used to boost the performance of your equipment. You can also acquire a gem through the item upgrader. This is useful for many reasons, including increasing the power of the gear or decreasing its weight. The cost of upgrading a piece by adding gems is more expensive.
The cost of upgrading an object isn't the only factor to consider. There is also the possibility that the upgrade may fail. The likelihood of this happening is contingent on the number of times you have upgraded an item in the past and its upgrade process. Cash shop items can improve the chances of success or help you avoid losing an item due to an unfinished upgrade.
For Icewind Dale, the item upgrader is a fantastic tool for enhancing your equipment. The upgrader has two major drawbacks It is the first that you can't rely on certain items being upgradeable since they're part of a random treasure lists. Additionally, it is frustrating to find a rare item that's a perfect fit for your build and not being able upgrade it.
Rerolling
Item upgraders are accessories that allow players to boost the effectiveness of their units. These upgrades can be added to armors, weapons and rings. Each upgrade can boost one of three stats: physical power, spell power, or health. They can also be boosted by a variety of additional bonuses. These bonuses are based upon the type of weapon you are using and may change every time you roll.
To upgrade an item, the player must first obtain the item. This can be accomplished by finishing quests, killing enemies or purchasing it from merchants. The item is now ready to be rerolled. After rerolling the item, it will be reset to level 1 with an additional bonus set. The item can also be transformed into a random class. A sword, for instance is transformed into an axe while a bow will change to an axe.
Rerolling a feature in a plugin is easy, but it requires careful thought. Rerolling an item will take away the original item. This will waste resources and gold. It is recommended to not reroll an item that has been upgraded.
Plugins can make use of Notetags to alter the behavior of an upgrader. These notetags are similar the tags used in RPG Maker MV, but they can be associated with specific features. This allows the creator to create custom traits and properties for an upgrader. For instance, a Reroll plugin can be used to tag an upgrader that only applies if it's equipped with a specific type of weapon. This will prevent players from rerolling upgraded items over and over again. This will save time and resources and stop players from receiving the same upgrade over and over.
Sets
Sets are collections of components that can be arranged into distinct groups. They are useful for various fields, including data management and statistics. Sets also have important properties, such as the associative and commutative properties. These properties let you perform operations on them, like union and intersection. For example, you can ask the group to join together (union of sets), or search for those who haven't done their homework in a class of students (intersection of sets). Sets are also used in everyday life to classify items and organize information. For instance, you can make use of a set to separate your music playlists into different categories depending on the genre.
In the game, players can upgrade their gear at NPCs that upgrade items by spending the appropriate currencies and items. The items that you can upgrade include weapons, armor, and trinkets. Upgrades cost a specific amount for each level of currency or item. For example upgrading a piece of gear from Explorer to Champion costs 2 coins and from Champion to Veteran or Heroic requires 6 or 12 coins, whichever is the higher.
Using an item upgrader can increase the chances of success, but be aware that the upgrade could fail. If it fails, your items and Upgrade Crystals will be lost. The process of upgrading is slow, and you cannot always guarantee that a product will be upgraded.
Extra stats
Item upgraders allow players to boost the stats of their weapons and gear. They can accomplish this by upgrading the base item of a unique, set or rare item. This will boost the overall strength of the item and include interesting modifiers. This process is commonly known as "upping."
The NPC who upgrades items will ask you to input how you would like to spend, based on your currency. The NPC will then show a glimpse of the item's upgrade. The preview will be dependent on the item's Mark Level and, after Mk XV, its rarity. It will also show when the upgrade adds an extra modifier.
Most upgrades will increase the main stats. A Muscle Band upgraded would increase its attack by +1 whereas upgrading to Level 30 will increase it by +10. The majority of upgrades boost another stat in addition to the primary stat. The extra stat can differ between different items and could be a different type.
Glyphs are a special upgrade component that can be added to items to give them bonus effects. These can range from boosting an item's gathering speed to giving it a unique boost. In contrast to other upgrade components, glyphs can easily be removed and then reinserted to the inventory when no longer required.
The interface for the upgrader of items has a simple and intuitive design. It displays all upgrade options for the player's equipment, sorted by rarity and level. It will also show the current Boost number, and change the name of the item to reflect its current status. (ex: "+3 % LUK"). The player can choose one of the boost numbers or choose 'ALL' to affect all stats.
Recycling
If you want to improve the stats of an item that's not quite at the level you want it to be you can reuse it. This process will cost some amount, which scales with the amount of rarity of the item. This can be accomplished by the upgrader for the item NPC.
You can also add extra materials to increase the item upgrade's chances of success. The materials you add can't exceed the 100% success rate. These materials can't also be used to apply an upgrade. They are only useful for re-upgrading previously upgraded items.
The best way to acquire top equipment is to gather many materials, and then visit the upgrader for the item NPC in every city. You can find these NPCs by looking for the hammer icon on the map. This will allow you to upgrade your equipment to the highest available level and you can add enchantments to enhance their capabilities.
You can also make use of the Gear Transfer feature in Lost Ark to upgrade items. You can transfer a piece of equipment and its upgrade onto another character. This is beneficial if you need an item of a different kind or if you're bored of the one you have.
