I am confused about one item though under upgrading magic items. Both cloaks and vests of resistance may now be upgraded. Does this mean 1. If you encounter a cloak or vest of resistance +2 bonus, you may upgrade a vest from +1 to +2. or 2. You must encounter a vest +2 before you can upgrade a vest +1 to +2. or 3. If you have a caster level of 6 or higher, you may upgrade a vest +1 to +2.

It means that you can upgrade a vest of resistance if you (a) have access to the relevant vest and the appropriate caster level [for example, access to a +2 vest and caster level 6] or (b) do not have access to the relevant vest but have the appropriate caster level +2 [for example, no access to a +2 vest but caster level 8]. It doesn't mean that access to a cloak gives you access to a vest and vice versa. Hope this helps, Gary Johnson
