World of Warcraft Upgrades and Item Upgrading

Upgrades increase the value of certain numeric stats on armor, weapons and rings. They also boost extra bonuses, such as crit chance and PvE damage.

If the weapon's upgrade template is in %, the weapon will be able to gain an additional 3% of the previous damage for each time it is upgraded.

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

Components

Upgrade components can be incorporated into trinkets, armor, and weapons to provide them with a boost in stats or an extra effect. They can be acquired through crafting, buying from vendors, trading or looting. Certain upgrades have unique cosmetic effects.

Upgrade components can be inserted into any equipment that has a slot for them. The item must be at a minimum upgraded to blue level for a component to be inserted. Upgrade components, unlike other mods can only be applied only once. They are not able to be replaced or applied multiple times. Infusions and Enrichments are a type of upgrade component that can be used to upgrade non-amulet legendary or ascended equipment, as well as some non-ascended items. Infusions and enrichments can be obtained by salvaging equipment from the ascended state or by completing a mission within the Prophecies, Factions, and Nightfall campaigns.

A prefix or suffix may be added to an upgrade items, which alters the name of the item it is applied to (for instance, 'Canthan Armor Insignia,' becomes Canthan Armor Minor Vigor). Certain upgrades boost the Mark Rarity or Level of an Best item upgrade, which lets players to create stronger versions using the smallest amount of Upgrade crystals than they would require to reach the same level with normal methods.

A 'boost upgrade' can modify the attack or defense characteristics of a weapon or armor. These upgrades are available to be made using the Portative Forging Station once the player has completed the cutscene and defeats the Crazed Mechanic. They can be dropped by enemies while upgrading other gear, or by buying them from the cash store for 500 upgrade crystals.

The player is able to have the maximum of five boost upgrades at one time. Each upgrade increases the chance that a better-quality version of the item will be available at the time of the next reset. This gives the player some incentive to keep upgrading their gear, even if they're unsure of how much it will improve after a future reset.

The boost upgrade may be successful or not, the process can be costly and there is a high possibility that the item will be obsolete or even break if it fails; a failure to upgrade can ruin Upgrade Crystals and Assist Powder as well as the upgraded item. Cash shop items can be used to decrease or eliminate the possibility of failure. Some upgrades also offer a bonus if they are reinserted.

Glyphs

Glyphs can be used to upgrade the Paragon Board by placing them in special sockets. Glyphs buff the power of all nodes in the area around them, including pre-existing affixes on equipment. Glyphs can be upgraded in a variety of ways. We recommend upgrading them as fast as possible to level 15.

You'll often see in the final game that placing Glyphs is a great method to upgrade your gear. They are the only upgrade component that can be upgraded to level 15 and give significant boosts to your power on the Paragon Board.

Glyphs, which is the only upgrade component which can be removed without restriction and replaced again, are the most common. The only exception is legendary equipment, which requires an Black Lion Salvage Kit to salvage and replace.

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

You can find Glyphs in the Black Lion Trading Post, as part of a Gem Store purchase or bundle with certain unlimited-use gathering tools and also through Faction Crypt raids. Every Faction Crypt will drop one of these Glyphs. There are some rare glyphs which you can find in any of the Faction Crypts.

After you have acquired the desired Glyphs you will require them to be put on your gear. Each Glyph will unlock a unique bonus that boosts the stats of a specific 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 based on the Glyph.

The use of Glyphs Glyph will boost all nodes that are connected to it, so it is recommended to position your Glyphs close to key nodes on the Graph to maximise the impact. Druids, for instance should put their Glyphs close to their primary damage nodes. They may be able to place them near their primary damage nodes.

Leveling

The item upgrading system lets players increase the stats of specific items by putting upgraded components in them. This is often referred to as "upping". Every upgradeable item level upgrade is assigned an amount that determines the final stats. Upgraded items can be upgraded up to a maximum of 385. Each level of an item requires a different amount 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 finishing Upgrade Recipes. These recipes can be purchased from NPCs or found on the upgrade tab in a crafting table. Each upgrade items Recipe completed yields a certain number of Technology points. These points can be used to level up the item, and when enough points are earned, the upgrade will be claimed and its 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 get a weapon or shield when upgraded. The new item comes with its own set of bonuses. This could be a drawback, as the item can become more expensive even if you do not need it.

If the player has enough tokens they can roll the upgrade of their item. The item will be replaced by an entirely new item that has a base of level 1 and completely different bonuses. This can be useful for some items, but it shouldn't be performed frequently, since it can use up many resources.

Certain upgrades can be rerolled many times to increase their value, allows the player to modify their equipment. A good example of this is Dolphin's Gift, which gives an increase in power when a player repeatedly enters and exits water (or is able to swim like a dolphin). This item can be upgraded many times by increasing the maximum roll each time by 10 increments. This item can be very valuable in PvP as a perfectly rolled version of it could be worth between 20 and 50 times its value without being upgraded.

Requirements

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

Each item can be upgraded a maximum of five times, with the exception of hero gear that can have eight upgrades. Each time you upgrade an item, it has the chance to fail. The failure rate increases the more you go over the maximum number of upgrades. Failures will cause the item to return to its original state and the player having to spend additional items than if they stopped upgrading after the maximum number.

If an item isn't upgraded, the experience bar in its growth bar will be reset to zero. In addition the item will be deducted any bonus it earned, including crit chance and attack damage, as well as all additional effects associated with the 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.

When an item is upgraded, the upgrades are applied from the lowest to the highest. This means that should a weapon gain an increase in its crit chance it will be applied before any increase in attack damage. Slots is a new attribute that was added to item definitions. The value is calculated each time an upgrade occurs.

The amount of resources needed to upgrade an item is determined on the rarity rating and the number of upgrade slots. The cost of upgrading non-premium equipment is equivalent to its base value. For example, a common item might have five upgrades for a price of. 25600 Technology Points 4x Quality Improvement Opportunity. Hero grade items have a lower cost per upgrade.

Premium items have different requirements for upgrading in comparison to standard equipment. For instance, they may require fewer sowels but more minerals and erons. Players will still have to take each piece of gear they wish to upgrade to the NPC [ArmorBoboko. Boboko located in Central Flarine. Each equipment upgrade will require different amounts of upgrade ingredients in addition to the cost that are listed above.
