This plugin requires the Item Core plugin as this plugin is an extension plugin for it. This plugin enables your players to be able to uprade their weapons and armors through a dedicated slot system.
Introduction
Please wait while you are redirected...or Click Here if you do not want to wait.
This plugin requires YEP_ItemCore.
Make sure this plugin is located under YEP_ItemCore in the plugin list.
This plugin adds Item Upgraders, where you can select the base item and then apply the appropriate Item Upgraders onto it to boost its parameters.
Notetags
The following notetags can be used to modify item upgrades.
Weapon, and Armor Notetags
<Upgrade Slots: x>
This sets the number of times an item can be upgraded instead of the default amount defined in the database.
<Slot Variance: x>
This makes it so that there is a random variance for the number of slots provided through the item. If this notetag isn’t used, it will go by the setting in the parameters.
<Upgrade Sound: filename>
Changes the upgrade sound played to ‘filename’. If this notetag isn’t used, the ‘Default Sound’ parameter sound will be used instead.
<Upgrade Effect>

effect
</Upgrade Effect>
These are the effects applied (in the order they’re listed). Refer to the ‘Upgrade Effects List’ in the next section to have those effects applied to the upgraded item.
<Upgrade Item Type: All>
<Upgrade Item Type: Regular>
<Upgrade Item Type: Key>
<Upgrade Item Type: Hidden A>
<Upgrade Item Type: Hidden B>
<Upgrade Item Type: Always>
<Upgrade Item Type: Battle>
<Upgrade Item Type: Menu>
<Upgrade Item Type: Never>
<Upgrade Item Type: string>
This makes it so this item can be used to upgrade the item that matches either the item type or the item occassion. If none of those work for you, you can use the following notetag and place an instance for ‘string’ inside of the item upgrade types.
<Type: string>
Puts this type into the notebox for items (not weapons nor armors) and it will add ‘string’ as its type. You can insert multiple copies of this notetag to enable the item to have more types. Any types in here that match the types for the previous notetag will enable the item to be upgradeable by that upgrade item type.
<Upgrade Weapon Type: x>
<Upgrade Weapon Type: x, x, x>
<Upgrade Weapon Type: x through x>
This makes it so that only weapon types x can use this item for upgrade. If you use weapon type 0, all weapons can be upgraded using this item.
<Upgrade Armor Type: x>
<Upgrade Armor Type: x, x, x>
<Upgrade Armor Type: x through x>
This makes it so that only armor types x can use this item for upgrade. If you use armor type 0, all armor can be upgraded using this item.
