Generally upgrades increase an items main stat and can give it additional benefits based on the type. Examples include Whistan's shield for FB Sorcs or Goldwraps for caster builds.

Armour

Armour is one of the main factors that keep Link protected from damage in the majority of situations. Although it cannot be upgraded like weapons, you can improve its defence capabilities in various ways.

Armour is designed to safeguard animals and people from injury or harm from direct physical attack or from a variety of environmental or activity hazards. Historically, armour was mostly made of leather or fabric but later, protections made of metal were also utilized for military purposes, particularly like heavy cavalry and combat drones.

There are a variety of ways to upgrade armour however the majority require you to visit one of the four Great Fairy Fountains scattered throughout Hyrule. Each fountain has a distinct degree of improvement with more protection levels requiring more rupees and other materials.

The first thing you need to know about Armor Upgrades is that they are upgrades that last forever, meaning that once they've been applied they are not able to be replaced unless you own another piece of equipment that comes with the same upgrade. It is recommended to only apply the most advanced upgrades to your equipment and ensure that you have all the components needed to complete them.

You will find the upgrades you need in many places around Hyrule. These include merchants, shrines and even enemies. They are typically marked with the blue triangle or gold circle symbol. They are available in large quantities as you progress. While they might appear randomly, there's the possibility that acquiring certain upgrade components will trigger an adventure that rewards you with more.

It's important to keep in mind that, although the level that upgrades offer may vary, it will always be greater than nothing. A full set of upgraded armor will give you a strong defense boost that protects you from all types of attacks, except magic. This makes it an effective weapon for all classes.

Weapons

If you want to make your guns truly unique, you can enhance them with a variety upgrades. These can increase damage, alter the weapon's stats to cater to your specific build or even unlock new attachments such as unique ammo types, enchantments and other options for aesthetics.

To upgrade a weapon, you'll need to have an upgrade component available and the item. The weapon should be at least a certain level before you can upgrade it. Most weapons can only take one upgrade.

Weapon upgrade components can be found all over the world from enemies or from merchants. Upgrade components are a mix of components that you can incorporate into armors, weapons, trinkets and gathering tools in order to gain an attribute bonus. The equipment has to be of a certain level before it can accept the upgrade. It is able to be upgraded in the same way as other items.

The upgrades themselves are a mix of Smithing Stones and Runes, and they are used to improve the stats of a base weapon, and also to increase its scalability with other stats. They can be found among enemies dropped in the open world, purchased from certain merchants, or obtained as drops in combat.

Two NPCs can upgrade your weapon: Blacksmith Hewg in the Roundtable Hold hub zone and the Smithing Master Iji located in the Road to Manor hub zone. Both of these NPCs will take your Smithing Stones and Runes in exchange for a more powerful version of the weapon as well as an upgrade.

Prioritize upgrading your top-in-slot items first. Then upgrade those that you're not likely to replace in the near future. If you're playing a melee build, for example, upgrade your weapon, then your shoulders and chest before your feet and hands. The same principle applies to Magic and Utility Items. However, based on your playstyle, some procs will be more beneficial than others. The same goes for Armour and reforges, with some having superior performance over others.

Magic Items

A character is able to upgrade only one item upgrader mod of magic. If an upgrade project is canceled, no further upgrades will be planned for the item level upgrade. Magic items that are upgraded cost twice the gold they would normally cost to create or purchase however, they also have extra advantages.

A weapon that is infused with some special substance could offer, for instance, additional damage against a specific type of enemy. This is particularly beneficial for characters who have reached a point at which they will likely face the same type of monster repeatedly in dungeons.

A ring that is infused with magic could give immunity to non-magical attacks that bludgeon, pierce or cut (excluding silver-based attacks) until the character takes another long rest. This is particularly beneficial for combatants who are melee, or any character who wishes to get rid of the hassle and expense of buying shields.

Certain items enchanted by magic have special abilities that let the character cast spells in addition to those listed on their class's list of spells. This is useful for characters that have trouble keeping their spell slots full due to multiclassing. These enchanted items typically require an Intelligence (Arcana) check to use, and the spell is determined by rolling a table that is based on the number Intelligence points expended.

Other objects with enchanted powers could allow the player's appearance to be altered, or they could even create a brand new one. These items can be especially useful for characters that are forced to leave their home, or are in a place that they might not be welcomed. A magical item can give them the ability to disappear or make them invisible to everyone, except for the chosen person.

Utility Items

Utility items are anything that does not fall into the categories of clothing or armor and come with a range of capabilities. Utility items aren't compatible with each other, as opposed to Armor or Weapons. Most utility items provide a passive effect that the player can activate by using them however, some come with additional capabilities that are triggered when the user presses an action button or activates an ability.

The most popular kind of utility item upgrading is the Flashlight that illuminates the surrounding area. Other items that are useful include the Helicopter Cap and Rocket Boots which allow the player to float in mid-air while moving, and the Jetpack that allows him to accelerate in any directions while on the ground. Many utility items can be instantly created in the Engineering section while others can be unlocked through research projects or projects at the Proving Ground.

In addition to the items that are available in the normal inventory, players can also unlock additional powerful utility items by buying them from the Atomic Shop and also from seasonal Scoreboard rewards (such as the Shadow Goggles). Some of these items can be upgraded for more effective use.

Most utility items give the player a navigational advantage or increase the ability to fight. For example, Sharpening stones created by the Weaponsmith boost Ferocity and Power, while Maintenance Oils crafted by the Huntsman increase the power of concentration and healing. Other items of utility can be used by the player to boost Damage or Condition Damage.

XCOM soldiers can equip one accessory item upgrading to start the campaign. An additional slot is available after completing certain engineering, research, or experiments on the Proving Ground. In the Alien Hunters downloadable content, additional slots can be obtained by equipping a Grenade Launcher. This allows the player to use an Smoke Grenade or Bomb while an offensive grenade remains in the primary slot.
