upgraded but nothing happened?

The only thing that improves is the defense and since its just a roll it can roll the lowest defense for that item type and end up lower. A

Corona has a defense value range of 111-165 where the

Grand Crown has 78-113. So you can actually get a worst defense when upgrading lol.

damn..lol thanks tho

Typically it's only really effective to upgrade weapons for the damage increase, boots for assassin kick damage, or shields for paladin

Smite damage. Normal Armor/helm/shields only get a little boost in defense for everyone else.

yeah that's true, although i expected it to increase for at least slightly

Also stat (and level) requirements; be careful with upping not to end with a too heavy item.

Worth upgrading:
Body armors, the defense difference is huge (

Eth

Shaftstop,

Eth

Duriel's Shell,

Skin of the Vipermagi,...)

Belts from normal to exceptional for max slots (namely

Goldwrap)

Weapons (any you might like are worth it IMO, just have fun, I upgraded a

Steeldriver for my Druid and then an ethereal

Warlord's Trust, the final iteration will be

Ribcracker)

I also like upgrading

Magefist/

Chance Guards at least once for 50 extra def that gets upped by

Frozen Armor on sorceress or

Holy Shield on paladin. You can safely upgrade

Magefist to elite since they still have lower str req than

Monarch for your sorc.

Not worth upgrading:
Helmets (even ethereal), Shields (not a fan of upgrading

Herald Of Zakarum either: 1) str req from 89 to 142 2) you can end up with very little defense gain like in helmets' case)

Lol i keep forgetting about this one. Those 4 extra slots help so much!
