Upgradeable Items
Upgradeable items are items in Remixed Dungeon that can be enhanced with scrolls or special abilities to improve their performance and effectiveness.
Types of Upgradeable Items
- Weapons - Can be upgraded to increase damage output and special effects
- Armor - Can be upgraded to increase defense, resistance, or special effects
- Rings - Can be upgraded to increase the potency of their special effects
- Potions - Some special potions can be upgraded for enhanced effects (like Potion of Might from Potion of Strength)
- Artifacts - Some artifacts may have upgrade mechanics, though these are often more complex than simple level increases
Upgrade Mechanisms
- Scroll of Upgrade - Applies a single upgrade level to any upgradeable item
- Also removes curses from the item
- Does not add special properties like enchantments or inscriptions
- Scroll of Weapon Upgrade - Specifically for weapon upgrades
- Also adds a random enchantment to the weapon when upgraded
- Armor Kit - Special item that upgrades armor to class-specific armor
- Transforms regular armor into class armor (e.g., Warrior's Cuirass, Mage's Robe)
- Found as a drop from the King boss
- Special Abilities - Some hero classes and subclasses have abilities to upgrade items
- NPC Services - Some NPCs may provide item upgrade services
Effects of Upgrading
- Weapons - Increased damage range (min/max), potential enchantment addition (with Scroll of Weapon Upgrade)
- Armor - Increased defense power (DR = tier * 2 + level * tier), potential glyph addition (with Scroll of Upgrade, may lose existing glyph)
- Rings - Increased effect potency of the ring's special property
- Curses - Upgrading removes curses from items
Special Considerations
- Some items may have special behaviors when upgraded
- Cursed items become uncursed when upgraded
- Upgrading does not affect item properties other than base stats (for basic upgrades)
- Some items have special mechanics that interact with upgrade levels
