World of Warcraft Upgrades and Item Upgrading Upgrades increase the value of certain numeric stats on weapons, armor and rings. Upgrades can also boost bonuses like Crit chance and damage from PvE. For instance an item with the upgrade template ending in % will take on an attack damage of 3% each time it is upgraded (relative to its previous value). The cost of upgrading an item increases as it reaches the current level of the item. The cost rises with item's level. Components Upgrade components can be incorporated into trinkets, armor, and weapons to give them a boost in stats or to add an additional effect. They can be acquired through crafting, purchasing from vendors trading, or looting. Certain upgrades also come with specific cosmetic effects. Upgrade components can be placed in equipment that has a slot for them. The item must have been at least upgraded to the blue level for a component to 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 special type of upgrade component used for non-amulet ascended and legendary equipment, as well as some of the back items that are not ascending. Infusions and enrichments can be retrieved by salvaging gear from the ascended, or completing an elite task in the Prophecies, Factions and Nightfall campaigns. A suffix or prefix can be added to an upgrade, thereby changing the name of the item it's used on (for example, 'Canthan Armor Insignia,' becomes Canthan Armor Minor Vigor). Certain upgrades can increase the Mark Rarity or Level of an item, allowing players create stronger versions with fewer upgrade crystals than they require to reach the same level using standard methods. A boost upgrade can change the attack or defense attributes of an armored weapon or. After the player has completed the cutscene and defeated Crazed Mechanist, these upgrades can be crafted at the Portative Forging Station. They can also be dropped by enemies while upgrading other gear or by buying them from the cash shop for 500 upgrade crystals. Each upgrade increases the probability that a higher-tier version of an item will be revealed in the next reset. This gives players a reason to upgrade their gear, even in the event that they don't know how much it can be improved upon a reset. The process of upgrading an item can be costly and it's possible that the item will be obsolete, or even break, if the upgrade fails. Upgrade Crystals and assist powder are also destroyed if the upgrade fails. Cash shop items can be used to decrease or eliminate the chance of failure. Some upgrades also offer a bonus if reinserted. Glyphs Glyphs are upgrade parts that can be placed in special sockets on the Paragon Board. Glyphs increase the power of all nodes within a radius around them, including pre-existing affixes on equipment. Glyphs can be upgraded various ways, and we recommend getting them to level 15 as soon as you can. In the endgame you'll often discover that the best way to improve your gear is to place Glyphs. They are the only upgrade component that can be upgraded directly to level 15, and they provide a large boost to your power and radius on the Paragon Board, enabling you to climb higher nodes faster. Glyphs, the sole upgrade component which can be removed without restriction and replaced with no restrictions, are the most common. Only item upgrading can be salvaged and re-placed using the help of a Black Lion Salvage Kit. The value of each Glyph is displayed when you select it in your inventory. You can replace it with another Glyph of the same rank or a higher rank, which will boost the 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 unlimited-use gathering tools as well as through Faction Crypt raids. Every Faction Crypt has the chance of dropping one of the many Glyphs as well as also a few rare glyphs that can be found in the form of drops from any of the four Faction Crypts. Once you have the desired Glyphs then you have to put them on your equipment. 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. Based on the Glyph it could be +40 to one of your primary stats, or +25 to two of your secondary stats. Glyphs will increase the number of nodes connected to them, so it is best to put Glyphs in key spots on the Graph. This will increase the impact. Druids, for instance should position their Glyphs close to their primary damage nodes. They may also consider placing them near their most critical damage nodes. Leveling The upgrade system for items allows players to increase the performance of certain items by placing upgraded components in them. This is often referred to as “upping”. Every upgradeable item has an amount that determines its final upgraded stats. Upgraded items can be leveled up to a maximum of 385 ilvl. Each item level requires various components, and the cost of upgrading increase with each level. Some upgrades require an ingredient to be activated. This ingredient is obtained by completing Upgrade Recipes. These recipes can be found in the upgrade tab of a crafting table, or bought from NPCs. Each completed Upgrade Recipe yields some Technology Points. These points can be used to level up the item, and when enough points are earned, the upgrade can be claimed and any additional bonuses will be added to the item. When the player upgrade an item, the base item will be replaced with the new item. This means that the same armor piece will become the form of a shield or weapon when upgraded. The new item comes with its own set of bonuses. This can be a disadvantage in that it could cause the item to become more expensive, even if you don't require it. Upgrades to items can be rerolled, provided that the player has enough tokens in order to do this. The item will be replaced with an entirely new item that is based on a level 1 base and totally different bonuses. This is a good idea however it should not be repeated often since it could waste resources. Some upgrades can increase their value and allow players to modify their gear. A good example of this is Dolphin's Gift, which gives an increase in power when a player repeatedly enters and leaves the water (or is able to swim like dolphins). It is possible to upgrade it several times, each time raising the maximum roll by 10 points. This item is highly valuable in PvP. A well-rolled version can be worth 50 times the value of a unupgraded counterpart. Requirements The upgrader for items allows players to raise the level of their equippable equipment (armor weapons, weapons, and trinkets) above ilvl 385 by providing the appropriate currency to the NPC. Upgrades to armor set pieces also boost the defense base of the item, and upgrading weapon items 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, with the exception of hero gear, which can have eight upgrades. Every time you upgrade a piece of equipment, it is at risk of failing. The rate of failure increases when you exceed the maximum number. item upgrading will cause the item to revert back to its original state, which will force the user to spend more materials than they would have to had they stopped upgrading at the maximum number of upgrades. If an item fails to upgrade, the amount of accumulated experience in its growth bar is reset to zero. The item will also lose any bonuses it has gained like the chance to crit damage to attack, other effects (such as an increase in healing over time, or the speed of reloading). However, the player can continue to use the weapon or armor following the failure. When an item is upgraded the upgrades are applied from lowest to highest. This means that, if a weapon gains an increase in its crit chance it will be applied prior to any increase in attack damage. A new attribute called Slots has been added to the definition of the item and the value is calculated each time an upgrade is applied. The amount of resources needed to upgrade an item is based on its rarity rating and the number of upgrade slots. The upgrade cost for non-premium items is the same as the base value of the upgrade—for instance, a standard equipment item could have five upgrades with a cost of 25600 Technology Points 4x Quality Improvement Chance. Hero grade items have lower costs per upgrade. Premium items may have different upgrade requirements from normal equipment. For instance they may require less sowels, but they will require more minerals and orons. The player will need to take every piece of equipment they want to upgrade to the NPC [ArmorBoboko. Boboko located in Central Flarine. Each upgrade to equipment requires different amounts of the ingredients for upgrading, in addition to the expenses listed above.
