World of Warcraft Upgrades and Item Upgrading
Upgrades can boost the value of weapons, armors and rings. Upgrades can also boost bonuses like Crit chance and PvE Damage.
If the template for upgrading a weapon is %, it will gain 3percent of its previous damage for each time it is upgraded.
The cost of upgrading an item is determined by the item's level. The cost increases as the item level increases.
Components
Upgrade components can be incorporated into trinkets, weapons and armor in order to give them a stat boost or to add an additional effect. They can be obtained by crafting, purchasing from vendors, trading or looting. Some upgrades also have specific cosmetic effects.
Upgrade components are only available to devices that have slots. The item must be at least upgraded to blue before the component can be used. Like other mods, upgrade components can only be used once and cannot be applied multiple times or replaced by new upgrades. Infusions and enrichments are a type of upgrade component used to upgrade non-amulet legendary and ascended equipment, as well as some non-ascended items. Infusions and enrichments are recovered by salvaging gear from the ascended, or by completing an elite mission in the Prophecies, Factions and Nightfall campaigns.
A prefix or suffix can be added to an upgrade, which alters the name of the Best item upgrade it's used on (for example, 'Canthan Armor Insignia,' becomes Canthan Armor Minor Vigor). Some upgrades increase the Mark Level or Rarity of an item, allowing players to create stronger versions using fewer Upgrade crystals than they would need to reach the same level with normal methods.
A 'boost upgrade' can modify the attack or defense characteristics of a weapon or armor. After the player has completed the cutscene and defeated Crazed Mechanist, these upgrades can be created at the Portative Forging Station. These upgrades are available for purchase them from the cash shop or getting them from enemies while upgrading other equipment.
The player can have up to five boost upgrades at a time. Each upgrade increases the probability that a higher-tier version of the item will be available at the time of the next reset. This gives players a reason to upgrade their gear, even if they are unsure how much it can be improved upon a reset.
The process of upgrading an item could be costly, and it is possible that the item will become obsolete, or even break, when the upgrade is unsuccessful. Upgrade Crystals and assist powder are also destroyed if the upgrade fails. Cash shop items can be used to reduce or eliminate the risk of failure. Some upgrades also give a bonus if reinserted.
Glyphs
Glyphs are upgrade components that can be inserted into special sockets on the Paragon Board. Glyphs boost the power of nodes within a radius, which includes any pre-existing affixes. Glyphs can be upgraded in many ways, and we recommend getting them up to level 15 as soon as possible.
You'll often see in the final game that placing Glyphs is the most effective method to upgrade your equipment. These are the only upgrade components which can be upgraded to level 15 and provide a significant boost to your power on the Paragon Board.
The majority of upgrades in the game can be replaced, however, Glyphs are only the one upgrade component that can be removed and put back in place without restrictions. The only exception is legendary equipment, which requires an Black Lion Salvage Kit to salvage and re-place.
The value of each Glyph is displayed when you select it in your inventory. You can replace it with another Glyph that is the same or higher rank to boost the value of the Glyph.
Glyphs are available in the Black Lion Trading Post as part of an Gem Store bundle or purchase them with certain tools that are unlimited in use and also during Faction Crypt Raids. Every Faction Crypt has the possibility of dropping one of the various Glyphs as well as some rare glyphs that can be found in the form of drops from any of the four Faction Crypts.
After you have acquired the desired Glyphs you'll need them to be placed on your gear. Each Glyph will grant a distinct bonus that boosts the stats of a particular set of nodes in the vicinity of the Glyph. It can be +40 for one of your primary stats or +25 for two of your secondary stats depending on the Glyph.
Using Glyphs Glyph will boost all nodes that are connected to it, and you should aim to place your Glyphs close to key nodes on the Graph to maximise the impact. Druids, for example, should place their Glyphs close to their primary damage nodes. They may also consider placing them near their most critical damage nodes.
Leveling
The upgrade system of items allows players to increase the stats of specific items by adding upgraded components. This is also known as "upping". Each upgradeable item has an amount that determines the final statistics. Upgraded items can be upgraded to a maximum of ilvl 385. Each item level requires various components, and upgrade costs increase with each level.
Certain upgrades require an ingredient to be activated. This ingredient is obtained from completing Upgrade Recipes. These recipes are available in the upgrade tab of a crafting table, or purchased from some NPCs. Each Upgrade Recipe that is completed results in a certain amount of Technology points. These points can be used to level up the item. Once enough points are earned, the upgrade will be claimed and the additional bonuses will be added to the item.
When an item is upgraded by a player to a higher level, the original item is replaced with a new item of the same type. The same armor will be upgraded to an weapon or shield when upgraded. The new item will also come with a bonus of its own. This could be a disadvantage since the item may be more expensive even if you do not need it.
Item upgrades can sometimes be rerolled, if the player has enough reroll tokens to do this. This causes the item to be exchanged for a new one, which will come with a level 1 base and a different set of extra bonuses. This is a good option for certain items, but it shouldn't be repeated often, as it can waste lots of resources.
Some upgrades can increase their value and allow players to personalize their gear. One example is Dolphin's Gift, which gives an advantage when a player is repeatedly in and out of the water (or swims like dolphins). This item can be upgraded several times and increases the maximum roll every time by 10 increments. This item is very useful in PvP. A well-rolled version could be worth as much as 50x the value of a non-upgraded counterpart.
Requirements
The upgrader for items allows players to raise the level of their equipment (armor weapons, armor, and trinkets) above ilvl385 by presenting the appropriate currency to the NPC. Upgrades to armor set pieces increase its base defense and upgrades to weapon items increase the damage they deal as well as the required strength and dexterity.
All items can be upgraded up to five times, except for hero gear that can have eight upgrades. Every time you upgrade an object, it has a chance of failing. The probability of failure increases when you exceed the maximum number. Failures can cause the item to return to its initial state, which requires the player to pay for more resources than if they had stopped upgrading after the maximum number.
If an Best item upgrade does not upgrade the amount of experience in its growth bar is reset to zero. The item will also lose any bonuses it earned like chances to be crit attack damage, additional effects (such as a higher healing rate over time or the speed of reloading). The player is able to use their weapon or armor even after the failure.
If an item is upgraded the upgrades are applied from the lowest to the highest. This means that the weapon that is upgraded gains a crit chance increase that it will be applied before any attack damage increases. A new attribute called Slots is now added to the item definition and the value is computed each time an upgrade is applied.
The amount of resources needed to upgrade an item are determined by its rarity rating and upgrade slot count. The cost of upgrading non-premium equipment is equivalent to the value of the base item. For instance an item upgrade of common use could have five upgrades at a cost. 25,600 Technology Points and a 4x Quality Improvement Chance. Hero grade items will come with a much lower cost for each additional upgrade.
Premium items have different requirements for upgrading as compared to standard equipment, for instance, they might require fewer sowels but more minerals and erons. The player will need to carry every piece of equipment they wish to upgrade to NPC [ArmorBoboko. Boboko located in Central Flarine. In addition to the upgrade cost mentioned above, each upgrade requires a different amount of the upgrade ingredients.
