Weapon upgrades are enhancement levels that increase the base stats of weapons in Remixed Dungeon.

Weapons can be upgraded to improve their performance:

• Positive Upgrades - Each positive level increases damage output and may improve other stats
• Negative Upgrades - Each negative level decreases damage output and performance
• Curses - Negative effects that can be applied to weapons (removed when upgrading)

Each positive upgrade level provides:

• Increased damage range (specific formula varies by weapon type)
• No change to attack speed (DLY property remains constant)
• Better overall performance
• Higher chance of success when fighting enemies

Negative upgrades result in:

• Reduced damage output
• No change to attack speed
• Lower overall performance

• Scroll of Upgrade - Applies a single upgrade level to any upgradable item (weapon, armor, ring)
  • Also removes curses from the item
  • Does not add enchantments to weapons
• Scroll of Weapon Upgrade - Applies a single upgrade level specifically to weapons
  • Also removes curses from the weapon
  • May add a random enchantment to the weapon when upgraded
• Shop purchases - Occasionally found in higher-level shops
• Treasure drops - Higher-level weapons may spawn upgraded

• Java Class: Item.upgrade() and Item.degrade() methods
• Weapon Upgrade: Weapon.upgrade(boolean enchant) method
• Scroll of Upgrade: ScrollOfUpgrade.java
• Scroll of Weapon Upgrade: ScrollOfWeaponUpgrade.java

• Balance upgrade level with your strength requirements (STR stat needed to wield)
• Prioritize upgrading your main weapon for maximum impact
• For weapons with high upgrade levels, ensure you can meet strength requirements
• Consider that upgrading a weapon with an enchantment might remove the enchantment

• Scroll of Remove Curse - Can remove curses but doesn't directly downgrade items
• Upgrading removes curses from items automatically
