World of Warcraft Upgrades and Item Upgrading
Upgrades can increase the value of weapons, armors and rings. Upgrades also increase bonuses such as Crit chance and damage from PvE.
For instance a weapon that has the upgrade template that ends in % will take on 3damage to attack each time it is upgraded (relative to its previous value).
Item upgrading costs crests and the item's current level. The cost increases with the item's level.
Components
Upgrade components are items that can be inserted into armor, weapons and trinkets in order to provide an extra stat boost or effect when they're used. These can be obtained by crafting, buying from vendors, trading with other players, 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 have been at the very least upgraded to blue level in order for the component to be applied. In contrast to other mods components can only be used once and cannot be applied repeatedly or replaced with upgrades. Infusions and enrichments are a kind 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 completing a mission in the Prophecies, Factions, and Nightfall campaigns.
A suffix or prefix can be added to an upgrade, which alters the name of the item it's used on (for instance, 'Canthan Armor Insignia',' changes to Canthan Armor Minor Vigor). Some upgrades boost the Mark Level or Rarity, which allows players to create stronger versions of that equipment with less Upgrade Crystals than are required to achieve the same level of upgrade through normal methods.
A boost upgrade is a way to modify the attack or defense characteristics of a weapon or armor. After the player has completed the cutscene and defeated Crazed Mechanist, these upgrades can be made at the Portative Forging Station. They can also be dropped by enemies while upgrading other gear or buying them from the cash store for 500 upgrade crystals per.
The player is able to have up to five boost upgrades at a time; each upgrade increases the probability that a better-quality version of the item will be available at the time of the next reset. This gives players an incentive to upgrade their equipment even in the event that they don't know how much it can be improved upon an update.
The process of upgrading an item can be expensive and it is likely that the item will be obsolete, or even break, in the event that the upgrade fails. Upgrade Crystals and assist powders are also destroyed if the upgrade fails. Cash shop items can be used to decrease or eliminate the chance of failure. Some upgrades also give a bonus if they are reinserted.
Glyphs
Glyphs can be used to improve the Paragon Board by placing them in sockets with special functions. Glyphs increase the power of nodes within a radius, which includes any existing affixes. Glyphs are upgraded in a variety of ways, and we suggest getting them up to level 15 as soon as possible.
You will often find in the final game that placing Glyphs is a great method to upgrade your equipment. 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.
Glyphs, the only upgrade component that can be removed without restriction and replaced with no restrictions are the most popular. Only legendary equipment can be salvaged and replaced by using a Black Lion Salvage Kit.
The value of each Glyph is displayed when you select it in your inventory. You can replace it with a Glyph of the same rank or a higher rank, which will boost the overall value of the glyph.
You can find Glyphs in the Black Lion Trading Post, as part of an Gem Store purchase or bundle with certain gathering tools that are unlimited-use, and through Faction Crypt raids. Each Faction Crypt will drop one of these Glyphs. There are also some rare glyphs which you can find in any of the Faction Crypts.
Once you have gotten the desired Glyphs you'll need them to be placed on your gear. Each Glyph will grant a distinct bonus that can boost the stats of a specific set of nodes in the vicinity of the Glyph. Depending on the Glyph it could be +40 to one of your primary stats or +25 to two of your secondary stats.
Utilizing a Glyph can boost all nodes connected to it, so it is recommended to position your Glyphs near the most important nodes of the Graph to maximize the impact. Druids, for example should put their Glyphs close to their primary damage nodes. They may also want to consider placing them near their primary damage nodes.
Leveling
The item upgrading system allows players to improve the performance of specific items by putting upgraded components into them. This is commonly known as "upping". Each upgradeable item is assigned a level which determines the final statistics. Upgraded items are able to be leveled until they reach a maximum level of ilvl 385. Each item level requires various components, and upgrade costs increase with each level.
Some upgrades require a special ingredient to activate. This ingredient is obtained by making Upgrade Recipes. These recipes can be purchased from NPCs or on the upgrade tab in the crafting table. Each completed Upgrade Recipe yields some Technology Points. These points can be used to leveling up an item. When enough points have been earned you'll be able to claim your upgrade and also receive the bonuses.
When the player improves a piece of equipment it will be replaced by the new item. This means that the same piece of armor will be transformed into an weapon or shield once upgraded. The new item will come with a bonus of its own. This could be a drawback in that the item could be more expensive even if you do not need it.
Upgrades to items can be rerolled, provided that the player has enough tokens to be able to do so. The item will be replaced by an entirely new item that has a level 1 basis and completely different bonuses. This is a good idea, but should not be repeated often since it can waste resources.
Certain upgrades can boost their value, allowing players to customize their equipment. A good example of this is Dolphin's Gift, which gives a buff when the player is repeatedly in and out of the water (or swims like a dolphin). It can be upgraded multiple times, each time increasing the max roll by 10 points. This item is very useful in PvP. A well-rolled version can be worth 50 times the value of the non-upgraded counterpart.
Requirements
The upgrader for items allows players to raise the level of their equippable equipment (armor, weapons trinkets, and armor) above ilvl385 by presenting the appropriate currency to the NPC. Upgrading armor set pieces will also boost the defense base of that piece, while upgrading weapons will increase the damage base as well as the required strength and dexterity to meet the upgraded equipment's requirements.
All items can be upgraded a maximum of five times, with the exception of hero gear that can be upgraded up to eight times. Each time you upgrade an object it is at risk of failing. The failure rate increases as you go over the maximum number. Failures will cause the item to go back to its original state, requiring the player to spend more money on materials than they would had they stopped upgrading at the maximum amount of upgrades.
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 crit chance, attack damage, or additional effects (such as increased heal over time or the speed of reloading). However, the user can still continue to use the weapon or armor following the failure.
When an item is upgraded, the upgrades are applied from the lowest to the highest. This means that if a weapon receives a crit chance boost that it will be applied prior to any damage to attack increases. A new attribute known as Slots is now added to the definition of the item and the value is calculated every time an upgrade is made.
The amount of resources required to upgrade an item is determined on the rarity rating and number of upgrade slots. The cost of upgrading equipment that is not premium is equal to its value. For instance an item of common use could have five upgrades at a cost. 25600 Technology Points, 4x Quality Improvement Chance. Hero grade items have lower costs per upgrade.
Premium items could have different upgrade requirements than standard gear. For instance they may require fewer sowels, but more minerals and orons. Players will still have to take each piece of gear they want to upgrade to NPC [ArmorBoboko. Boboko located in Central Flarine. item upgrades of equipment requires different amounts of ingredients needed to upgrade, in addition to the costs mentioned above.
