Weapon upgrade

Weapon Upgrades are a type of upgrade that must be equipped to items and recovered from a weapon through salvaging.

Obtaining Upgrades
All weapon upgrades are obtained by using an Expert Salvage Kit on a weapon that has upgrades installed. The chance of gaining the upgrade is around 90%, and if a weapon has two upgrades salvaging can recover at most one of them.

You'll know if a weapon has an upgrade on it if it has a prefix and/or suffix added to the weapon's name; a Scimitar is standard, while a Fiery Scimitar has a special hilt and a Scimitar of Charrslaying has an upgraded pommel.

Prefixed and/or suffixed weapons obtained from Quests and/or Collectors cannot be salvaged to get their upgrades.

Upgrade items can sometimes be recovered from Salvage Items.

Applying Upgrades
Simply double-click the upgrade, and then click on an appropriate weapon to attach it. A weapon can only have one attachment of each type (commonly referred to as prefix/blade/head upgrades and suffix/hilt/wrapping upgrades).

Unlocking Upgrades
By using an Identification Kit on magical weapons, you can unlock upgrades for use in PVP Character Creation, if the weapon has any present and you haven't unlocked it before.
