World of Warcraft Upgrades and Item Upgrading

Upgrades can boost the value of weapons, armors and rings. Upgrades also boost bonuses like Crit chance and damage from PvE.

If the template for upgrading a weapon is %, it will be able to gain 3% of its previous attack damage each time it is upgraded.

Item upgrading costs crests and the item upgrade's current level. The cost increases as the level of the item rises.

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 obtained through making crafts, buying from vendors, trading with other players, or looting. Certain upgrades also come with specific cosmetic effects.

Upgrade components are only available to devices that have slots. The item must be at least upgraded to a blue level before the component can be used. In contrast to other mods components can only be used one time; they cannot be applied multiple times or replaced with upgrades. Infusions and enrichments are a type of upgrade component that is used to upgrade non-amulet legendary and Ascended equipment, as well as some non-ascended items. Infusions and enrichments can be obtained by salvaging ascended equipment or by completing a mission within the Prophecies, Factions, and Nightfall campaigns.

An upgrade could have a prefix or suffix, modifying the name of the item to which it is applied (for instance 'Canthan Armor Insignia" becomes Canthan Armor of Minor Vigor). Certain upgrades boost an item's Mark Level, or Rarity, allowing players to create stronger versions of that equipment using the smallest amount of Upgrade Crystals than are required to reach the same level of upgrade through normal methods.

A boost upgrade can alter the attack or defence attributes of a weapon, or armor. These upgrades can be made using the Portative Forging Station once the player has completed the cutscene and defeats the Crazed Mechanical. They can be dropped by enemies while upgrading other gear, or by purchasing them in the cash shop for 500 upgrade crystals per.

Each upgrade increases the probability that a higher tier version of an item will be available in the next reset. This gives the player an incentive to keep upgrading their gear, even if they're unsure of how much they'll increase after a future reset.

The process of upgrading an item could be costly and it's possible that the item upgrader mod will eventually become obsolete or even break when the upgrade fails. Upgrade Crystals and assist powders are also destroyed if the upgrade fails. Cash shop items can be used to decrease or eliminate the risk of failure. Some upgrades also give the player a bonus if they are reinserted.

Glyphs

Glyphs are upgrade components which can be put in special sockets on the Paragon Board. Glyphs increase the power of nodes within a radius, including any existing attaches. Glyphs can be upgraded in various ways, and we recommend getting them to level 15 whenever you can.

In the endgame you'll often discover that the best way to enhance your equipment is to use Glyphs. They are the only upgrade component that can be upgraded directly to level 15, and they provide significant boosts to your power and radius on the Paragon Board, enabling you to get higher nodes faster.

Glyphs, the only upgrade component which can be removed without restriction and then replaced with no restrictions are the most commonly used. The only exception is legendary equipment that requires the use of a Black Lion Salvage Kit to salvage and replace.

Each Glyph has a certain range of values it can improve a stat by. The value is displayed when you choose the Glyph in your inventory. You can replace it with an Glyph that is of 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 as well as during Faction Crypt Raids. Every Faction Crypt will drop one of these Glyphs. There are some rare glyphs you can find in any of the Faction Crypts.

Once you have obtained the desired Glyphs you'll require them to be placed on your gear. Each Glyph unlocks a special bonus that boosts the stats of a specific set of nodes within a radius around the Glyph. Depending on the Glyph, this will either be +40 to one of your primary stats, or +25 to two of your secondary stats.

Utilizing Glyphs Glyph will boost all nodes connected to it, and you should try to place your Glyphs near key nodes on the Graph to maximise the impact. For example an Druid should try to position their Glyphs near their primary damage points, however, you may also want to be sure to place them near the most critical damage nodes too.

Leveling

The item upgrading system allows players to improve the effectiveness of certain items by placing upgraded components inside them. This is also known as "upping". Each upgradeable item comes with an amount, which determines its final upgraded stats. Upgraded items can be leveled until they reach a maximum level of ilvl 385. Each item level requires a different amount of components to reach and the cost of upgrading increase as the item is upgraded.

Some upgrades require an ingredient to be activated. This ingredient is obtained from finishing Upgrade Recipes. These recipes can be bought from NPCs, or on the upgrade tab of crafting tables. Each completed upgrade item Recipe yields several Technology Points. These points can be used to level up the item. Once enough are earned, the upgrade will be claimed and any additional bonuses will be added to the item.

When the player upgrades an item it is replaced by a new item of the same type. This means that the same armor piece will get the form of a shield or weapon when upgraded. The new item will also have its own set bonus. This could be a problem because it can make the item more expensive if you do not need it.

Upgrades to items can be rerolled, if the player has enough reroll tokens in order to do this. The item will be replaced by an entirely new item that is based on a level 1 base and completely different bonuses. This can be useful, but should not be repeated often since it can waste resources.

Some upgrades can be rerolled many times, increasing their value and allows the player to modify their equipment. A good example of this is Dolphin's Gift, which gives an advantage when a player repeatedly enters and leaves the water (or does not swim as a dolphin). The item can be upgraded multiple times, increasing the maximum roll every time by 10 increments. This item is very important in PvP. A perfectly rolled version can be worth up to 50x the value of a unupgraded counterpart.

Requirements

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

All items can be upgraded up to five times, with the exception of hero gear, which can be upgraded with eight upgrades. Every time you upgrade a piece of equipment, it has a chance of failing. The failure rate increases when you exceed the maximum number. Failures will result in the item reverting to its original condition, which requires the user to pay more for materials than they would had they stopped upgrading at the maximum amount of upgrades.

If an item does not upgrade the amount of experience in its growth bar is reset to zero. The item also loses any bonuses it gained, such as crit chance, attack damage, or other effects (such as a higher healing rate over time or the speed of reloading). The player can continue to use their weapon or armor after the failure.

Whenever an item is upgraded, the upgrades are applied in order from lowest to highest. This means that, when a weapon gains an increase in its crit chance it will be applied prior to any increase in attack damage. A new attribute known as Slots is now added to the item definition and the value is calculated every time an upgrade is made.

The amount of resources required to upgrade an item is determined by its rarity rating and the number of upgrade slots. The cost for upgrading non-premium items is equal to the base value of the upgrade. For instance, a standard equipment item could have five upgrades with a cost of 25600 Technology Points, 4x Quality Improvement Chance. Hero grade items have a lower cost per upgrade.

Premium items have different requirements for upgrading than standard gear--for instance, they may require fewer sowels, but they will require more minerals and erons. The player will still need to take every piece of gear they want to upgrade to NPC [Armor] Boboko located in Central Flarine. Each upgrade of equipment requires different amounts of upgrade ingredients in addition to the cost mentioned above.
