World of Warcraft Upgrades and Item Upgrading Upgrades can boost the value of armors, weapons and rings. They also boost extra bonuses like damage from PvE and crit chance. If the weapon's upgrade template is %, it will gain 3percent of its previous attack damage every time it is upgraded. The cost of upgrading an item increases as it reaches the current level of the item. The cost increases as the item's level rises. Components Upgrade components are items that can be slotted into armor, weapons and trinkets to give an additional stat boost or effect while they're in use. They can be obtained by crafting, buying from vendors trading or looting. Certain upgrades also come with specific cosmetic effects. Upgrade components can only be used on devices that have slots. The item must be at least upgraded to blue level before a component can be used. Upgrade components, unlike other mods, can only be applied once. They cannot be replaced or applied several times. Infusions and enrichments are a type of upgrade component that can be used to upgrade non-amulet legendary and Ascended equipment, as well as some non-ascended items. Infusions and enrichments can be obtained by salvaging equipment that is ascended or completing a mission in the Prophecies, Factions, and Nightfall campaigns. An upgrade may have a prefix or suffix, modifying the name of the equipment to which it is applied (for example 'Canthan Armor Insignia' becomes Canthan Armor of Minor Vigor). Some upgrades increase the Mark Rarity or Level of an item, which lets players create stronger versions with the smallest amount of Upgrade crystals than they would require to reach the same level using normal methods. A boost upgrade can alter the attack or defense attributes of the weapon or armor. These upgrades are available to be crafted from the Portative Forging Station once the player has completed the cutscene and defeats the Crazed Mechanic. These upgrades can be obtained by purchasing them from the cash shop or by collecting them from enemies when upgrading other equipment. Each upgrade increases the likelihood that a higher tier version of an item will be available during the next reset. This gives players the opportunity to upgrade their equipment even if they are unsure how much it will be improved after an update. The process of upgrading an item can be expensive, and it is possible that the item will eventually become obsolete or even break when the upgrade fails. Upgrade Crystals and assist powder are also destroyed when an upgrade fails. This is reduced by the availability of cash shop items that can double or even eliminate chances of failure, and some upgrades that offer a bonus when reinserted into an item. Glyphs Glyphs are upgrade components that can be inserted into special sockets on the Paragon Board. Glyphs buff the effectiveness of all nodes in their radius, including pre-existing affixes on equipment. Glyphs can be upgraded many ways, and we suggest getting them to level 15 as soon as possible. In the endgame you'll find that the best way to enhance your gear is to place Glyphs. These are the only upgrade component that can be upgraded up to level 15 and provide a significant boost to your power on the Paragon Board. The majority of upgrades in the game can be replaced, but Glyphs are the only upgrade component that can be removed and re-placed without restrictions. Only legendary equipment can be salvaged and re-placed with the help of a Black Lion Salvage Kit. Each Glyph has a specific range of values it can improve a stat by. The value is shown when you select the Glyph in your inventory. You can choose to replace it with a different Glyph of the same rank, or a higher rank, which will boost the overall value of the Glyph. There are Glyphs in the Black Lion Trading Post, as part of an Gem Store purchase or bundle with certain unlimited-use gathering tools, and through Faction Crypt raids. Every Faction Crypt has the chance of dropping one of the numerous Glyphs, and there are some rare glyphs to be found in the form of drops from any of the four Faction Crypts. Once you have the desired Glyphs then you need to place them on your gear. Each Glyph unlocks a special bonus that will boost a specific set of stat nodes that are within the radius of the Glyph. Based on the Glyph it could be +40 to one of your primary stats or +25 to two of your secondary stats. Utilizing Glyphs Glyph can boost all nodes connected to it, so it is recommended to position your Glyphs near key nodes on the Graph to maximise the impact. Druids for instance should put their Glyphs close to their primary damage nodes. They might be able to place them near their primary damage nodes. Leveling The system of upgrading items lets players increase the effectiveness of specific items by putting upgraded components into them. This is known as “upping”. Each upgradeable item has a level that determines the final stats. Upgraded items can be upgraded 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 upgraded. Certain upgrades require an ingredient to be activated. This ingredient is obtained by the completion of Upgrade Recipes. These recipes can be purchased from NPCs or found on the upgrade tab of crafting tables. Each Upgrade Recipe that is completed will result in a certain amount of Technology points. These points can be used to upgrade the item, and when enough points have been earned, the upgrade will be claimed and the additional bonuses will be added to the item. When a player improves an item, the base item is replaced by the new item. The same armor will be upgraded to the form of a weapon or shield when upgraded. The new item comes with its own set of bonuses. This could be a problem, as it can make the item more expensive if you do not require it. If the player has enough tokens, they can roll item upgrades . This causes the item to be traded for a new one, which will come with a level 1 base and a different set of bonus bonuses. This is a good option for certain items, but it shouldn't be done regularly, as it can use up many resources. Certain upgrades can be rerolled many times which increases their value and allows the player to modify their gear. Dolphin's Gift is a good example, as it provides an increase in power if the player repeatedly enters or exits the water. It is possible to upgrade it several times, each time raising the max roll by an increment of 10. This item is very useful in PvP. A perfectly rolled version can be worth up to 50x the value of the unupgraded counterpart. Requirements Item upgrading allows players to boost the level of their equippable gear—armor, weapons and trinkets that are above ilvl 385 by providing the appropriate items and currencies to an NPC that upgrades items. Upgrading armor set pieces will also increase the defense base of that piece, while upgrading weapon equipment will increase the base damage and the strength and dexterity required to meet the upgraded equipment's requirements. All items can be upgraded up to five times except for hero equipment, which can be upgraded eight times. Every each time you upgrade an item it has a chance to fail—the rate of failure increases as you exceed the maximum number of upgrades. Failures will cause the item to go to its original condition, which requires the user to spend more money on materials than they would had they stopped upgrading at the highest number of upgrades. If an item is not upgraded the experience bar in the bar for growth will be reset to zero. The item also loses any bonuses it gained like crit chance attack damage, additional effects (such as an increase in healing over time or reloading speed). However, the user can continue to use the weapon or armor after the failure. When an item is upgraded, the upgrades are applied from the lowest to highest. This means that, should a weapon gain an increase in the chance of crit, the increase is applied prior to any increase in attack damage. Slots is a brand new attribute that was added to item definitions. The value is recalculated 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 for upgrading non-premium items is the same as the base value of the upgrade. For example, a common equipment item may have five upgrades, each costing 25600 Technology Points, 4x Quality Improvement Chance. Hero quality items have a lower cost per upgrade. Premium items have different requirements for upgrading in comparison to standard equipment. For instance, they might require fewer sowels, but they will require more minerals and erons. Regardless, the player must visit the NPC [ArmorBoboko in Central Flarine. Boboko in Central Flarine with each piece of equipment they want to upgrade. In addition to the upgrade costs listed above, each equipment upgrade requires a different amount of the ingredients for upgrading.
