You may now improve the quality, and thus enchanting capacity, of existing equipment during downtime. Upgrading an item obeys the following rules:
- Each time you upgrade an item, it moves up to the next higher quality: Normal to High, High to Superior, and Superior to Masterwork. If you want to move it up more than one grade, you have to repeat the activity.
- You must meet the minimum profession rating for the new quality level: 15 for High, 40 for Superior, and 75 for Masterwork. The profession needed to upgrade an item is the same as the profession used to make it.
- The amount of production required is the same as if you were making the item at the new quality level from scratch: 2 for High, 7.5 for Superior, and 25 for Masterwork. Because of this, upgrading an item is not as optimal as creating it at the desired quality to begin with.
- Nothing else changes about the item, so all enhancements are retained. This way you can improve upon existing equipment over time.
Cody, you probably just want to get a superior quality ring. The optimal way to do that is to have someone make it superior quality from the get-go. Upgrading is only relevant for you if you already have a high quality ring and just want to make it superior.
Upgrades improve the quality of the item by one step, Jop (again, normal to high, high to superior, and superior to masterwork). The quality of the item then determines the item's enchanting capacity. High quality items can hold one enchantment, superior items can hold three, and masterwork items can hold five. Does that answer your question?
So I was talking about having an enchanted ring with three slots in it earlier. How would I go about creating said slots in the ring?
