World of Warcraft Upgrades and Item Upgrading

Upgrades boost the value of certain numeric statistics on armor, weapons and rings. Upgrades also boost bonuses like Crit chance and PvE Damage.

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

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

Components

Upgrade components can be added to trinkets, armor, and weapons in order to provide them with a boost in stats or an extra effect. They can be acquired through crafting, purchasing from vendors, trading or looting. Certain upgrades come with special cosmetic effects.

Upgrade components can be inserted into any equipment with a slot for them. The item must be at the very least upgraded to blue level in order for the component to be used. In contrast to other mods components can only be used once; they cannot be applied multiple times or replaced by new upgrades. Infusions and Enrichments are a type of upgrade component that is used to upgrade non-amulet legendary or ascended equipment, as well other items that are not ascended. Enrichments and Infusions can be obtained by salvaging equipment that is ascended or completing a quest in the Prophecies, Factions, and Nightfall campaigns.

A prefix or suffix can be added to an upgrade, which alters the name of the item it is used on (for instance, 'Canthan Armor Insignia',' changes to Canthan Armor Minor Vigor). Certain upgrades boost the Mark Level or Rarity, allowing players make stronger versions of the equipment that require less Upgrade Crystals than would be required to reach the same level of upgrade through normal methods.

A boost upgrade can alter the attack or defence characteristics of an armored weapon or. Once the player has completed the cutscene and defeated the Crazed Mechanist, these upgrades can be crafted at the Portative Forging Station. They can also be dropped by enemies when upgrading other gear or by buying them from the cash store for 500 upgrade crystals each.

Each upgrade increases the likelihood that a higher-tier version of the item will be available at the next reset. This gives the player some incentive to continue improving their equipment, even if they're unsure of the extent to which it will increase after a future reset.

Whether a boost upgrade is successful or not, the process can be expensive, and there is a significant chance that the item could become obsolete or even break if it fails. A unsuccessful upgrade could cause the destruction of Upgrade Crystals and Assist Powder as well as the upgraded item. This is alleviated by the availability cash shop items to increase or even eliminate the chance of failure, and some upgrades that offer the benefit of being reinserted into an item.

Glyphs

Glyphs are upgrade components that can be placed in special sockets on the Paragon Board. Glyphs boost the power of nodes within a radius, which includes any pre-existing attaches. Glyphs can be upgraded in numerous ways. We recommend upgrading them as quickly as possible to level 15.

It is commonplace to see in the endgame that putting Glyphs is the best method to upgrade your equipment. They are the only upgrade component that can be upgraded directly to level 15 and offer an enormous boost to your power and radius on the Paragon Board, enabling you to reach higher nodes faster.

Glyphs, the sole upgrade component that can be removed without restriction and then replaced again are the most popular. The only exception is legendary equipment that requires the use of a Black Lion Salvage Kit to salvage and re-place.

Each Glyph has a particular range of values that it can improve a stat by, and the value is displayed when you select the Glyph in your inventory. You can choose to replace it with another Glyph with the same rank or higher rank, which will boost the value of the glyph.

Glyphs are available in the Black Lion Trading Post as part of a Gem Store bundle or purchase, with certain unlimited-use tools as well as during Faction Crypt Raids. Every Faction Crypt will drop one of these Glyphs. There are some rare glyphs that you can find in any of the Faction Crypts.

Once you have obtained the desired Glyphs then you need to place them on your gear. Each Glyph will unlock a unique bonus that boosts the stats of a particular set of nodes in the vicinity of 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 boost all nodes that are connected to them, therefore it is best to put Glyphs in key spots on the Graph. This will increase the impact. For example an Druid should try to position their Glyphs near their primary damage nodes, however, you may also want to be sure to place them near the most critical damage nodes as well.

Leveling

The item upgrading system allows players to improve the stats of specific items by putting upgraded components into them. This is referred to as "upping". Each upgradeable item comes with a level that determines its upgraded stats. Upgraded items may be leveled to a maximum of ilvl 385. Each level of item requires various components, and the cost of upgrading increase with each level.

Some upgrades require a special ingredient to activate. This ingredient is obtained by completing Upgrade Recipes. These recipes are available in the upgrade tab of a crafting table, or bought from NPCs. Each Upgrade Recipe that is completed yields a certain number of Technology points. These points can be used to leveling up an item. When enough points have been earned you will be able to claim the upgrade and also receive the bonuses.

When an individual player upgrades the equipment they have, the base item will be replaced by the new item. This means that the same piece of armor will be transformed into a weapon or shield when upgraded. The new item will have a unique bonus. This could be a drawback since the item may increase in price even if you don't need it.

Item upgrades can sometimes be rerolled, provided that the player has enough reroll tokens in order to do this. The item will be replaced with an entirely new item that has a base of level 1 and completely different bonuses. This can be useful but it shouldn't be done often as it can be a waste of resources.

Certain upgrades can boost their value and allow players to modify their equipment. Dolphin's Gift is a good example, since it grants an increase in power if the player continuously enters or exits the water. It is possible to upgrade it several times, each time increasing the maximum roll by a factor of 10. This item is extremely valuable in PvP. A well-rolled version can be worth as much as 50x the value of a non-upgraded counterpart.

Requirements

Item upgrading allows players to upgrade the quality of their equippable gear--armor, weapons and trinkets that are above ilvl 385 by offering the appropriate currency and items to an NPC who upgrades items. Upgrades to armor set pieces also boost the defense base of that piece, while upgrading weapon items will increase the damage base as well as the required strength and dexterity to match the requirements of the upgraded equipment.

Each item upgrade can be upgraded up to five times, with the exception for hero equipment, which can be upgraded eight times. Each time you upgrade an object, it has a chance of failing. The probability of failure increases when you exceed the maximum number. Failures will cause the item to revert to its initial condition, which requires the user to spend more materials than they would had they stopped upgrading at the maximum number of upgrades.

If an item isn't upgraded, the experience bar in the bar for growth will be reset to zero. The item will also lose any bonuses it has gained, such as the chance to crit, attack damage, or other effects (such as increased heal over time, or reloading speed). The player will be able to use their weapon or armor after the failure.

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

The amount of resources required to upgrade an item upgrader mod is determined on the rarity rating and the number of upgrade slots. The cost of upgrading non-premium equipment is equal to its value. For example an item that is commonplace could have five upgrades at a cost. 25600 Technology Points 4x Quality Improvement Opportunity. Hero quality items are less expensive per upgrade.

Premium items could have different upgrade requirements than regular gear. For example they might require less sowels, however they may require more minerals and orons. However, players must visit the NPC [ArmorBoboko in Central Flarine. Boboko in Central Flarine with each piece of equipment they want to upgrade. Each upgrade to equipment requires different amounts of the upgrade ingredients in addition to the expenses mentioned above.
