World of Warcraft Upgrades and Item Upgrading

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

If the weapon's upgrade template ends in %, it will increase 3% of its previous damage for every time it is upgraded.

Item upgrading costs crests and the current level of the item. The cost increases as the level of the item increases.

Components

Upgrade components are items that can be slotted into armor, weapons and trinkets to give an extra stat boost or effect when they're used. They can be obtained through crafting, purchasing from vendors or trading with other players or looting. Certain upgrades come with special cosmetic effects.

Upgrade components can only be used on equipment that has a slot. The item must be at least upgraded to blue before a component can be used. Upgrade components, unlike other mods can only be applied only once. They cannot be replaced or applied multiple times. Infusions and Enrichments are type of upgrade component that can be used to upgrade non-amulet legendary and ascending equipment, as other items that are not ascended. Infusions and enrichments are recovered by salvaging gear that is ascended or by completing an elite mission in the Prophecies, Factions and Nightfall campaigns.

An upgrade could include a suffix or prefix that alters the name of the equipment to the upgrade (for example 'Canthan Armor Insignia is changed to Canthan Armor of Minor Vigor). Certain upgrades boost an item's Mark Level or Rarity, allowing players create stronger versions of that equipment using less Upgrade Crystals than are required to reach the same upgrade level through normal methods.

A boost upgrade can change the attack or defence characteristics of an armored weapon or. Once the player has completed the cutscene and defeated Crazed Mechanist, these upgrades can be crafted at the Portative Forging Station. These upgrades can be obtained by purchasing them from the cash shop or by collecting them from enemies when upgrading other equipment.

The player can have up to five boost upgrades at one time. Each upgrade increases the probability that a higher-tier version of the item will drop during the next reset. This gives players the opportunity to upgrade their gear even when they're not sure what will be improved after a reset.

If a boost upgrade is successful or not, the process can be expensive, and there is a substantial chance that the item could become obsolete or even break if it fails; a failed upgrade will ruin Upgrade Crystals and Assist Powder, as well as the upgraded item. Cash shop items can be used to minimize or eliminate the risk of failure. Certain upgrades also provide the player a bonus if they are they are reinserted.

Glyphs

Glyphs are upgrade parts that can be inserted into special sockets on the Paragon Board. Glyphs can boost the performance of nodes within a radius, including any existing attaches. Glyphs are upgraded in many ways. We recommend upgrading them as quickly as you can to level 15.

You will often find in the final game that placing Glyphs is the most effective way to upgrade your gear. They are the only upgrade components that can be upgraded directly to level 15, and they provide a large boost to your power and radius on the Paragon Board, enabling you to climb higher nodes more quickly.

Glyphs, which is the only upgrade component which can be removed without restriction and then replaced again are the most commonly used. Only legendary equipment can be salvaged and rebuilt with the help of a Black Lion Salvage Kit.

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

Glyphs can be found in the Black Lion Trading Post as part of the Gem Store bundle or purchase, with certain unlimited-use tools, and during Faction Crypt Raids. Each Faction Crypt has the chance of dropping one of the numerous Glyphs, and there are some 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 put them on your gear. Each Glyph will unlock a unique bonus that will boost the stats of a specific set of nodes within a radius around the Glyph. Depending on the Glyph it could be +40 to one of your primary stats, or +25 to two of your secondary stats.

Glyphs boost all nodes connected to them, which is why it is Best item upgrade to place Glyphs in key locations on the Graph. This will maximize the impact. For instance an Druid should aim to place their Glyphs near their primary damage nodes but you should also consider placing them near critical damage nodes, too.

Leveling

The item upgrading system lets players increase the performance of specific items by putting upgraded components inside them. This is often referred to as "upping". Every upgradeable item is assigned an amount that determines the final statistics. Upgraded items can be leveled up to a maximum of 385. Each level of an item requires a different number of components and the costs for upgrading increase as the item is leveled up.

Some upgrades require an ingredient to be activated. This ingredient can be obtained by finishing 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 earns several Technology Points. These points can be used to upgrading an item level upgrade. When enough points have been earned you'll be able to claim your upgrade and also receive the bonuses.

When the player upgrades an item, the base item is replaced by a new item of the same type. This means that the same armor piece will become the form of a shield or weapon when upgraded. The new item will come with a bonus of its own. This could be a disadvantage in that the item could be more expensive even if you don't need it.

Upgrades to items can be rerolled, provided that the player has enough reroll tokens to be able to do so. This will cause the item to be traded for a new one, which will have an initial level and a completely different set of bonuses. This is a good option for certain items, but it shouldn't be performed frequently, since it could waste lots of resources.

Certain upgrades can increase their value and allow players to modify their equipment. One example is Dolphin's Gift, which gives an increase in power when a player repeatedly enters and exits water (or swims like a dolphin). The item can be upgraded several times and increases the maximum roll every time by 10 increments. This item is extremely useful in PvP battles, since a perfectly rolled version of it can be worth between 20 and 50x its value without being upgraded.

Requirements

Item upgrading allows players to upgrade the quality of their equippable gear--armor, weapons and trinkets that are above ilvl 385 by presenting the appropriate items and currency to an item upgrader NPC. Upgrades to armor set pieces improve the strength of their base defense and upgrades to weapon items boost their base damage as well as their strength and dexterity.

All items can be upgraded a maximum of five times, with the exception of hero gear, which can be upgraded up to eight times. Every time you upgrade an object, it is at risk of failing. The probability of failure increases as you go over the maximum number. Failures can cause the item to revert to its initial state, which will force the user to spend more materials than they would have to had they stopped upgrading at the maximum amount of upgrades.

If an item fails to upgrade, the amount of accumulated experience in its growth bar is reset to zero. In addition, the item level upgrade will lose any bonuses it gained such as crit chance, attack damage, and all additional effects associated with that effect (for example, increased heal over time or the speed of reloading). The player is able to use their weapon or armor after the failure.

If an item is upgraded the upgrades are applied in order from the lowest to the highest. This means that, if a weapon gains an increase in its crit chance, the increase is applied prior to any increase in attack damage. A new attribute known as Slots is now added to the item's definition and the value is computed every time an upgrade is applied.

The amount of resources required to upgrade an item is determined on the rarity rating and number of upgrade slots. The cost of upgrading equipment that is not premium is equal to its value. For instance an item of common use could have five upgrades at a cost of. 25,600 Technology Points and a 4x Quality Improvement Chance--whereas hero grade items will come with an incredibly lower cost for each upgrade.

Premium items have different requirements for upgrading in comparison to standard equipment. For instance, they might require fewer sowels but more minerals and erons. Players will still have to bring every piece of equipment they want to upgrade to NPC [ArmorBoboko. Boboko located in Central Flarine. In addition to the upgrade costs listed above, each upgrade will require the use of different upgrade ingredients.
