Item Upgrading: 11 Thing You've Forgotten To Do

World of Warcraft Upgrades and Item Upgrading Upgrades can increase the value of weapons, armors and rings. Upgrades can also boost bonuses like crit chance and PvE Damage. If the template for upgrading a weapon ends in %, it will increase an additional 3% of the previous attack damage each time it is upgraded. Item upgrading costs crests and the current level of the item. The cost increases as the item level rises. Components Upgrade components are items that can be put into armor, weapons, and trinkets to provide an additional stat boost or impact while they're being used. They can be obtained by crafting, buying from vendors trading or looting. Certain upgrades have unique cosmetic effects. Upgrade components can only be used on equipment with a slot. The item must be at least upgraded to blue before a component can be used. Like other mods, upgrade components can only be used once and cannot be applied repeatedly or replaced with new upgrades. Infusions and enrichments are a kind of upgrade component that is used to upgrade non-amulet legendary or ascended equipment, as well in some items that aren't ascended. Infusions and enrichments are recovered by salvaging gear that is ascended or completing an elite task in the Prophecies, Factions and Nightfall campaigns. An upgrade could have a prefix or suffix changing the name of the equipment with which it is applied (for examplethe 'Canthan Armor Insignia' becomes Canthan Armor of Minor Vigor). Some upgrades boost the Mark Level or Rarity, allowing players make stronger versions of the equipment that require fewer Upgrade Crystals than would be required to achieve the same level of upgrade through normal methods. A 'boost upgrade' can alter the defense or attack attributes of a weapon or armor. After the player has completed the cutscene and defeated the Crazed Mechanist, these upgrades can be made at the Portative Forging Station. They can be dropped by enemies while upgrading other gear or purchasing them from the cash shop for 500 upgrade crystals each. Each upgrade increases the probability that a higher-tier version of an item will be revealed 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 improve following a subsequent reset. The process of upgrading an item could be expensive and it is likely that the item will become obsolete or even break if the upgrade is unsuccessful. Upgrade Crystals and assist powder are also destroyed when the upgrade fails. This is alleviated by the availability cash shop items that double or even eliminate chances of failure, and a few upgrades that give a bonus when reinserted into an item. Glyphs Glyphs can be used to enhance the Paragon Board by placing them in sockets with special functions. Glyphs buff the power of all nodes in the area around them and include pre-existing affixes to equipment. Glyphs can be upgraded in numerous ways. We suggest upgrading them as soon as you can to level 15. You'll often see in the endgame that placing Glyphs is the best way to upgrade your equipment. They are the only upgrade components that can be upgraded up to level 15 and offer 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 restriction. Only legendary equipment can be salvaged and replaced using the aid of a Black Lion Salvage Kit. Each Glyph has a certain range of values it can improve a statistic by. The value is displayed when you select the Glyph in your inventory. You can replace it with another Glyph that is the same or higher rank to increase the 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 tools for gathering unlimited use and also through Faction Crypt raids. Each Faction Crypt will drop one of these Glyphs. There are also some rare glyphs that you can find in any of the Faction Crypts. When you have the desired Glyphs You will have to put them on your gear. Each Glyph unlocks a unique bonus which will boost the stats of a specific set of nodes that are within the radius of the Glyph. Depending on the Glyph, this will either be +40 to one of your primary stats or +25 to two of your secondary stats. Glyphs will boost all nodes connected to them, which is why it is best to place Glyphs in key spots on the Graph. This will increase the impact. For instance, a Druid should try to position their Glyphs near their primary damage points, however, you may also want to think about placing them near crucial damage nodes too. Leveling The system of upgrading items allows players to increase the stats of certain items by placing upgraded components into them. This is also known as “upping”. Each upgradeable item has an amount, which determines its final upgraded stats. Upgraded items are able to be leveled up to a maximum level of 385 ilvl. Each level of an item requires different components, and the cost of upgrading increase with each level. Some upgrades require an ingredient to be activated. This ingredient is obtained by making Upgrade Recipes. These recipes are available in the upgrade tab of a crafting table, or obtained from NPCs. Each completed Upgrade Recipe earns some Technology Points. These points can be used for the upgrading of an item. When enough points have been earned, you will be able to claim the upgrade and receive its additional bonuses. When an individual player upgrades the equipment they have the original item is replaced by the new item. This means that the same armor piece will get the form of a shield or weapon when upgraded. The new item comes with its own set bonus. This could be a disadvantage in that the item could be more expensive even if you do not need it. Item upgrades can sometimes be rerolled if the player has enough reroll tokens to be able to do this. The item will be replaced by the same item, but it has a level 1 basis and totally different bonuses. This is a good option for certain items, but it's not something that should be performed frequently, since it could waste lots of resources. Certain upgrades can increase their value, allowing players to customize their gear. Dolphin's Gift is a good example, as it gives buffs when the player continuously enters or exits water. The item can be upgraded many times and increases the maximum roll every time by 10 increments. This item is highly valuable in PvP. A properly rolled version can be worth as much as 50x the value of the non-upgraded counterpart. Requirements The ability to upgrade item s allows players to increase the level of their available gear—armor, weapons and trinkets over ilvl 385 by presenting the appropriate items and currencies to an NPC that upgrades items. Upgrades to armor set pieces improve the strength of their base defense, while upgrades to weapon items boost their base damage and also increase their strength and dexterity. Each item can be upgraded up to five times, except for hero gear which can have eight upgrades. Each time you upgrade an object, it has a chance of failing. The rate of failure increases as you go over the maximum number. Failures can cause the item to return to its initial state, which requires the player to purchase more items than if they stopped upgrading after the maximum number. If an item is not upgraded the experience bar in the bar for growth will be reset to zero. The item will also lose any bonuses it earned like chances to be crit, attack damage, or other effects (such as increased heal over time, or the speed of reloading). However, the player can still continue to use the weapon or armor after the failure. Whenever an item is upgraded the upgrades are applied in order from lowest to highest. This means that, if a weapon gains an increase in the chance of crit the increase is applied before any increase in attack damage. A new attribute called Slots is now added to the definition of the item and the value is computed each time an upgrade is made. The amount of resources needed to upgrade an item is based on its rarity rating and upgrade slot count. The upgrade cost for non-premium items is the same as the base value of the upgrade—for example, a common equipment item could have five upgrades with a cost of 25,600 Technology Points and a 4x Quality Improvement Chance—whereas hero quality items will have an incredibly lower cost for each upgrade. Premium items have different upgrade requirements as compared to standard equipment, for instance, they might require fewer sowels, but more minerals and erons. Players will still have to carry each piece of gear they wish to upgrade to NPC [ArmorBoboko. Boboko located in Central Flarine. Each upgrade of equipment requires different amounts of the ingredients needed to upgrade, in addition to the expenses mentioned above.
