The upgrade button is located on any item. item upgrade adds a level to the gauge for upgrading.
Weapon
When a weapon is upgraded, it will gain an initial damage bonus as well as a scaling factor that influences other stats. Certain upgrade components have aesthetic effects while others give additional attributes. These upgrades can be slotted into armor, weapons trinkets, and gathering tools, and they generally require the equipment to have an upgrade slot available and meet certain specifications. The upgrade component can be removed from a weapon, armor or trinket, but it is not replaced. (Except for legendary equipment). Upgrade components can be recovered by using the Black Lion Salvage Kit Ascended Salvage tool, or a high-tier salvaging tool for an item.
In addition to the standard upgrades, a weapon can be upgraded by adding a Calibration Attribute that improves certain stats such as Weakspot Damage or Crit Rate. This is accomplished through the Gear Workbench's interaction menu. Based on the level of the weapon the process can be repeated up to four times.
Once the weapon has reached the maximum level of upgrade, it may be rebuilt using a variety of different types of upgrades to increase specific stats or to add bonuses and effects. A variety of these upgrades can be used simultaneously, and the effects differ based on the rarity of the weapon.
There are two Blacksmiths in the game that can perform these upgrades: Blacksmith Hewg in the Church of Elleh hub area, and Smithing Master Iji on the Road to the Manor Site of Grace. Both require different upgrade materials: Smithing Stones for standard weapons, and Somber Smithing Stones to alter the kind of damage a weapon deals.
In general, it is recommended to upgrade weapon damage first, followed by armor defense, and finally the other secondary stats as required by your build. It is not unusual to see melee Druids upgrade their weapon before upgrading other gear. This helps maximize DPS. This is especially relevant to enchantments that can be very efficient in increasing the damage of a weapon and other stats.
Armor
Item upgrades allow players to boost the effectiveness of specific weapons, armors trinkets, trinkets, or gathering tools. They can also provide additional effects like increased damage or cosmetic enhancements. Item Upgrades can be obtained through crafting, purchasing from NPC vendors and loot drop, or as rewards for quests.
The armor can be upgraded by visiting the Armorer NPC, and spending the appropriate currency. The majority of armor upgrades to the next level following an upgrade. This can be done for all types of armor, however certain items are not upgradeable at all (such as the starter armor in Great Sky Island).
The majority of armor upgrades boost the strength or defense of an item by a small amount. However, some upgrade components can give significant improvements in strength or defense, particularly when upgrading an item that is epic.
Certain upgrades offer special abilities which can be activated while wearing armor. These abilities can be helpful in combat, for instance giving a boost to attack speed or blocking. Certain upgrades provide passive effects that are useful like reducing damage while wearing armor or enhancing the chance to dodge an attack.
Depending on the type of armor, upgrading an item could require multiple attempts. If a player wishes to upgrade Steelclash armor to Dragonscale and the first attempt will result in a new Dragonscale armor with an armor base defense of 59-67. The second attempt will result in a Dragonscale armor that has the base defense of between 67 and 77.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild allows players to upgrade their armor sets to level 4. To do this, they must visit each of the four locations referred to as Great Fairy Fountains in the game. Each of these locations contains an incredibly fair that can change the quality of an item of armor for you.
Contrary to popular belief armor isn't useless in The Division 2. Some armors offer a significant boost to the reduction of damage from poison spells, curses, magic or fire. This makes them valuable for certain builds. Additionally, there are ways to boost armor stats beyond the use of upgradeable armor, such as the engineer trait that increases armor penetration or the challenger trait to reduce the weight of the entire armor.
