+====== 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 [[en:rpd:potion_of_might_item|Potion of Might]] from [[en:rpd:potion_of_strength_item|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 [[en:rpd:king_mob|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
