"The Ultimate Cheat Sheet On Item Upgrade
From Shiapedia
Items and Upgrade Components in World of Warcraft
The ability to upgrade items is an excellent way to boost the value of your weapon and armor. However upgrading common equipment isn't worth the investment as uncommon or exclusive equipment will quickly outclass it.
A product can be upgraded up to six times. Each upgrade adds points to the item upgrader's level gauge.
Glyphs
Glyphs can be used to improve an item and increase its characteristics. Glyphs are commonly used to upgrade a weapon, or armor, but they can also be used to improve a hat, ring, necklace, or any other accessory. Glyphs are available at various levels and are available from vendors in the city of Deneb. They are generally expensive but are a worthwhile investment as they can boost an item upgrader's stats.
A glyph is an encoded character that symbolizes the shape of a letter, numeral, or symbol. It has a particular appearance and is given an individual code that is unique to it in various fonts. In addition to regular letters, glyphs could also include special characters like arrows or mathematical symbols. They may be used to represent symbols or icons that are utilized by a particular language. There are also ligatures, which connect two letters, and swashes, which are symbols for decoration.
There are a variety of glyphs, and a font may include a variety of variants. Adobe Caslon Pro's default glyphs include regular characters, ornaments, fractions, and swashes. The Glyphs panel lets you examine these variations and add them into your document.
Glyph measurements are the parameters that determine the way a text layout is constructed. These metrics are determined by several factors, such as the advance width and side bearings. These measurements are essential to ensure that glyphs will fit perfectly on the screen and appear correctly in text.
The Glyphs panel is an effective tool for designing documents and altering existing ones. It is able to display all glyphs in a font, or it can be restricted to a particular group of glyphs such as punctuation symbols or math symbols. The panel can be resized, and is accessible via the Windows menu bar. Glyphs must be used with care to avoid unexpected results.
The Glyphs panel can be confusing as it shows all the possible glyphs in the font currently available and not just those that were added recently. Click the circle widget to the left of "Glyphs" to take a closer look at the glyphs. You can then choose to view the panel collapsed or expanded, or to only show the newly added the glyphs.
Growthstones
When you upgrade a weapon, armor, or accessory you can apply Growthstones to boost its power. This process can be time-consuming and it's possible the item won't be at its intended level. For instance, a typical headpiece can be upgraded to level six but not to level nine. The maximum upgrade level for an item depends on its quality. Rare and Epic items can be upgraded up to level 9, whereas Uncommon items are only able to reach level 6.
Growthstones can be purchased from NPCs in the major cities or from the auction house of the player. You can also get them as rewards during the Ancient Arena season. These items can be used to level up weapons and armor, and also to upgrade Passive Skills.
Once you have enough Growthstones you can visit any Equipment Enchanting NPC and boost the level of upgrade for your gear. Different types of armor, weapons and accessories require different Growthstones. You can also find Active Skill Growth Books and Passive Skill Growth Books at these NPCs, and the special Precious Skill Growth Book: Omnipotence can be used to improve your weapon's ultimate abilities.
While you can upgrade items your equipment and skills at these NPCs however, you'll need to spend a lot of money to do so. Each upgrade level will cost a certain amount of crests and Valorstones which are usually the most expensive, with weapons costing the most. You'll also have to complete certain quests in order to obtain the items. If you're looking to upgrade your armor, for instance you'll require one of three Power Dices that are dropped by monsters who are above level 21 and certain amounts of Erons and Minerals.
Recycled items
Recycled items are made from materials that were otherwise wasted. These materials include paper, plastics, glass bottles, aluminum cans and even electronics. In addition to preserving resources, recycling can reduce the necessity to extract or harvest new raw materials from the Earth. This can stop harmful disturbances to the natural world and reduce the impact of pollution on water, soil, air and other ecosystems. It also reduces the necessity to cut down forests, divert rivers, or harm wild animals in order to harvest new materials.
Many of the things that we recycle are used to create new ones. For instance, a recycled glass bottle can be made into a new jar, or a new piece of fiber glass. A discarded aluminum can may be transformed into a thumbtack, or license plate. Even an old piece newspaper can be reused to create a notepad, or an envelope. Many other items are also recyclable from automobiles to steel and asphalt.
To ensure that your recycling is being utilized in the most efficient way, it is essential to know what items can be recycled and which items are not recyclable. Paper in your recycling bin, for example could cause damage to the equipment for sorting or cause issues with recycling facilities. Instead, you should opt for reusable grocery bags or cloth towels to reduce the number of plastics that are in the trash. Wire hangers can also cause fires in recycling bins, and can pose other dangers to facilities that handle recyclables.
The best option is to only recycle items that your local recycling program will accept. Find out online if the recycling program accepts materials that are accepted in your area. Paper bags tissue boxes, cans of tin are generally recyclable. Glass beverage and food containers are also acceptable however, you must make sure that you wash them prior to placing them in the recycle bin.
The items that do not belong in your recycling include plastic grocery bags, batteries, and wire hangers. These items could cause fires in recycling plants and issues with tangling for recycling equipment and trucks. Instead, you should take these items to a drop-off point for recycling.
Suffix
Suffixes are a great upgrade components to enhance weapons and armor. They can be salvaged by removing them from products or purchased from the store through the Salvage Kit. Upgrades are color-coded to show what kind of item they can be applied to. Upgrades that are identified can be sold to the merchant for gold. Upgrades can be done with two prefixes and one suffix. Upgrades are only available for items that have an average rarity of blue or more which includes items found in the end chests in the Factions and Nightfall campaign. Upgrade components cannot be used for crafting new items.
A suffix is a word or group of letters that gives meaning to a larger word like -tion for the verb create or -phoria within the noun sense. Suffixes can also alter the pronunciation of words. For instance the suffix -er in English and German's suffix -ismus. They can also alter the spelling of words, for example, the adjective defenseless being insecure.
There are many types of suffixes that range from nouns to verbs to adjectives and adverbs. Adding suffixes to words can change their meaning or pronunciation, and some even have rules that apply. Suffixes can be used to alter the grammatical structure of a word, such as adding -ness to make the word an adjective, or -ic to make the possessive of a noun.
In addition to being used to add a new meaning to the word, suffixes can be also used in the names of people and places. For example, a man who is single may be named "Paulauskaite" while a married woman will have the name "Paulauskiene".
The most frequently used suffixes signify status. They include -ion as well as -ist. They can also be used as a way to define a person's personality characteristics, such as -iveness or -phoria.
Item affixes are used to improve weapons and armor with additional parameters that provide bonuses. They can be a combination of one or more prefixes or suffixes. For instance, -Fiery increases atk power by introducing fire elemental damage. Item affixes can be used on all items up to level 80 and are not applicable to made ascended armour and crafted trinkets.
