World of Warcraft Upgrades and Item Upgrading

Upgrades can increase the value of weapons, armors and rings. Upgrades also increase bonuses such as Crit chance and PvE Damage.

For instance, a weapon with the upgrade template that is ending in % will take on 3damage to attack each time it upgrades (relative to its previous value).

item upgrade upgrading costs crests and the item's current level. The cost rises with item's level.

Components

Upgrade components are items that can be put into armor, weapons, and trinkets to give an additional stat boost or effect when they're used. They can be acquired through crafting, buying from vendors trading or looting. Some upgrades also have special cosmetic effects.

Upgrade components can be inserted into any equipment that has a slot for them. The item must have been at a minimum upgraded to blue level to allow a component to be applied. Upgrade components, unlike other mods can only be applied only once. They cannot be replaced or applied multiple times. Infusions and Enrichments are a type of upgrade component that can be used to upgrade non-amulet legendary and ascended equipment, as well in some items that aren't ascended. Infusions and Enrichments can be obtained by salvaging equipment that is ascended or completing a quest in the Prophecies, Factions, and Nightfall campaigns.

A prefix or suffix may be added to an upgrade, thereby changing the name of the item it's used on (for example, 'Canthan Armor Insignia,' is changed to Canthan Armor Minor Vigor). Some upgrades boost the Mark Level or Rarity, which allows players to create stronger versions of the equipment that require fewer Upgrade Crystals than would be required to achieve the same level of upgrade through normal methods.

A boost upgrade can alter the attack or defence attributes 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. They can also be dropped by enemies when upgrading other gear or buying them in the cash shop for 500 upgrade crystals per.

The player is able to have the maximum of five boost upgrades at one time. Each upgrade increases the probability that a better-quality version of the item upgrader will be available during the next reset. This gives the player an incentive to keep improving their equipment even if they're uncertain of how much they'll improve after a future reset.

The process of upgrading an item could be expensive, and it is possible that the item will be obsolete, or even break, in the event that the upgrade is unsuccessful. Upgrade Crystals and assist powder are also destroyed if the upgrade fails. This is mitigated by the availability of cash shop items to increase or even eliminate the chances of failure, as well as some upgrades that provide an additional benefit when they are inserted into an item.

Glyphs

Glyphs can be used to enhance the Paragon Board by placing them in sockets with special functions. Glyphs boost the power of nodes within a radius, which includes any pre-existing affixes. Glyphs can be upgraded a variety of ways, and we suggest upgrading them to 15 levels whenever you can.

You will often find in the endgame that putting Glyphs is a great way to upgrade your gear. They are the only upgrade component that can be upgraded straight to level 15, and they provide a large boost to your power and radius on the Paragon Board, enabling you to reach higher nodes more quickly.

Most of the upgrades in the game can be replaced however, Glyphs are only the one upgrade component that can be removed and replaced without any restrictions. The only exception is legendary equipment, which requires the use of a Black Lion Salvage Kit to salvage and re-place.

The value of each Glyph is displayed when you choose it in your inventory. You can replace it with another Glyph that is the same or higher rank to increase the value of the Glyph.

There are Glyphs in the Black Lion Trading Post, as part of the Gem Store purchase or bundle with certain unlimited-use gathering tools and also through Faction Crypt raids. Every Faction Crypt has a chance to drop one of the numerous Glyphs, and there are also a few rare glyphs that can be found in the form of drops from any of the four Faction Crypts.

When you have the desired Glyphs, you will have to attach them to your equipment. Each Glyph unlocks a unique bonus that will boost a specific set of stat nodes within a radius around the Glyph. This will either be +40 for one of your primary stats or +25 for two of your secondary stats based on the Glyph.

Glyphs will boost all nodes connected to them, which is why it is recommended to place Glyphs in the most important places on the Graph. This will maximize the impact. For example, a Druid should try to position their Glyphs near their primary damage points, but you should also be sure to place them near the most critical damage nodes as well.

Leveling

The item upgrading system allows players to improve the effectiveness of certain items by placing upgraded components into them. This is often referred to as "upping". Each upgradeable item has an amount that determines its upgraded stats. Upgraded items can be upgraded up to a maximum of 385. Each level of an item requires a different number of components, and the upgrade costs increase as the item is leveled up.

Certain upgrades require an ingredient to be activated. This ingredient can be obtained by making Upgrade Recipes. These recipes can be purchased from NPCs or on the upgrade tab in crafting tables. Each completed Upgrade Recipe yields several Technology Points. These points can be used to level the item. Once enough are earned, the upgrade can be claimed and the additional bonuses will be added to the item.

When the player upgrades an item it is replaced with a different item of the same kind. This means that the same armor piece will become the form of a shield or weapon when upgraded. The new item also comes with its own set bonus. This can be a disadvantage because it can make the item more expensive, even if you don't require it.

If the player has enough tokens, they can roll the upgrade of their item upgrader. This will cause the item to be traded for a new one, which will come with a level 1 base and a completely different set of bonus bonuses. This is a good idea, but should not be used frequently as it can be a waste of resources.

Some upgrades can be rerolled several times which increases their value and allowing the player to customize their equipment. Dolphin's Gift is a good example, as it gives buffs when the player is repeatedly in or exits the water. It is possible to upgrade it several times, each time raising the maximum roll by a factor of 10. This item is highly valuable in PvP. A perfectly rolled version can be worth up to 50x the value of its unupgraded counterpart.

Requirements

Item upgrading allows players to boost the level of their available equipment--armor, weapons, and trinkets above ilvl 385--by offering the appropriate items and currency to an NPC that upgrades items. Upgrades to armor set pieces boost the defense of the base set and upgrades to weapon items increase the damage they deal and also increase their strength and dexterity.

All items can be upgraded up to five times, except for hero equipment, which is able to be upgraded eight times. Each time you upgrade a piece of equipment, it is at risk of failing. The rate of failure increases as you go over the maximum number. Failures will cause the item to revert back to its original state, which will force the user to spend more materials than they would had they stopped upgrading at the maximum amount of upgrades.

If an item isn't upgraded the experience bar in its growth bar will be reset to zero. Additionally the item will lose any gained bonuses, including crit chance and attack damage, and all other effects that are associated with that effect (for example, increased heal over time or the speed of reloading). The player can continue to use their weapon or armor after the failure.

When an item upgrader kit is upgraded, the upgrades are applied from lowest to highest. This means that when a weapon gains an increase in its crit chance the increase is applied before any increase in attack damage. Slots is a brand-new attribute that has been added to item definitions. The value is recalculated every time an upgrade occurs.

The amount of resources required to upgrade an item is determined by its rarity rating and upgrade slot count. The cost for upgrading non-premium products is equal to the base value of the upgrade--for example, a common equipment item might have 5 upgrades with a cost of 25,600 Technology Points and a 4x Quality Improvement Chance. Hero grade items will have an incredibly lower cost for each upgrade.

Premium items could have different upgrade requirements than normal equipment. For example they might require fewer sowels, but more minerals and orons. The player will still need to carry every piece of gear 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 ingredients needed to upgrade.
