World of Warcraft Upgrades and Item Upgrading

Upgrades can boost the value of certain numeric stats on armor, weapons and rings. Upgrades can also boost bonuses like Crit chance and damage from PvE.

For instance an item with the upgrade template that is ending in % will take on 3% attack damage every time it upgrades (relative to its previous value).

Item upgrading costs crests and the current level of the item. The cost increases with item's level.

Components

Upgrade components can be added to trinkets, weapons and armor to provide them with a boost in stats or an extra effect. These can be obtained by making crafts, buying from vendors, trading with other players, or looting. Certain upgrades also come with specific cosmetic effects.

Upgrade components can be inserted into equipment that has a slot to accommodate them; the item must have been at a minimum upgraded to blue level in order for the component to be used. Unlike other mods, upgrade components can only be used once and can't be used multiple times or replaced with new upgrades. Infusions and enrichments are a special kind of upgrade component that is designed for non-amulet ascended and legendary equipment as well as the back items that are not ascending. Infusions and enrichments can be recovered by salvaging ascended gear or completing an elite task in the Prophecies, Factions and Nightfall campaigns.

An upgrade could be prefixed or a suffix changing the name of the item to which it is used (for example "Canthan Armor Insignia" becomes Canthan Armor of Minor Vigor). Some upgrades boost an item's Mark Level or Rarity, which allows players to create stronger versions of that equipment with the smallest amount of Upgrade Crystals than would be required to reach the same upgrade level through normal methods.

A 'boost' upgrade can change the attack or defense attributes of a weapon, or armor. These upgrades can be made from the Portative Forging Station once the player completes the cutscene and defeats the Crazed Mechanical. They can be dropped by enemies while upgrading other gear or by buying them from the cash store for 500 upgrade crystals per.

Each upgrade increases the probability that a higher-tier version of the item will be revealed during the next reset. This gives the player some incentive to keep upgrading their gear even if they're uncertain of how much it will improve following a subsequent reset.

The process of upgrading an item could be expensive and it's possible that the item upgrader mod will eventually become obsolete, or even break, in the event that the upgrade fails. Upgrade Crystals and assist powders are also destroyed when an upgrade fails. Cash shop items can be used to decrease or eliminate the chance of failure. Some upgrades also offer an additional bonus when reinserted.

Glyphs

Glyphs are upgrade elements that can be inserted into special sockets on the Paragon Board. Glyphs boost the effectiveness of all nodes in their radius as well as existing affixes on equipment. Glyphs are upgraded in a variety of ways, and we suggest getting them to level 15 as soon as possible.

In the final game you'll often discover that the most effective way to upgrade your gear is by placing Glyphs. They are the only upgrade component that can be upgraded directly to level 15 and provide an enormous boost to your power and radius on the Paragon Board, enabling you to reach higher nodes faster.

The majority of upgrades in the game can be replaced, however Glyphs are the one upgrade component that can be removed and put back in place without any restrictions. Only legendary equipment can be salvaged and re-placed by using a Black Lion Salvage Kit.

Each Glyph has a certain range of values it can improve a stat by. The value is shown when you choose the Glyph in your inventory. You can replace it with a 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 an Gem Store purchase or bundle with certain gathering tools that are unlimited-use as well as through Faction Crypt raids. Every Faction Crypt has a chance to drop one of the many Glyphs and there are some rare glyphs that can be found in the form of drops from any of the four Faction Crypts.

Once you have gotten the desired Glyphs you will require them to be placed on your gear. Each Glyph unlocks a bonus which will boost the stats of a particular set of nodes that are within the radius of the Glyph. This will either be +40 for one of your primary stats or +25 for two of your secondary stats, based on the Glyph.

Glyphs will boost all nodes connected to them, which is why it is best to put Glyphs in strategic spots on the Graph. This will maximize the impact. Druids, for example, should place their Glyphs close to their primary damage nodes. They may also want to consider placing them near their most critical damage nodes.

Leveling

The item upgrading (talking to) system allows players to increase the stats of specific items by putting upgraded components in them. This is also known as "upping". Each upgradeable item has an amount that determines its upgraded stats. Upgraded items can be leveled up to a maximum level of ilvl 385. Each level requires a different number of components to be reached and the costs for upgrading increase as the item gets upgraded.

Certain upgrades require an ingredient to be activated. This ingredient is obtained by finishing Upgrade Recipes. These recipes are available in the upgrade tab of a crafting table or purchased from some NPCs. Each Upgrade Recipe completed results in a certain amount of Technology points. These points can be used to upgrade the item, and once enough are earned, the upgrade will be claimed and any additional bonuses will be added to the item.

When the player upgrades the equipment they have the original item will be replaced by an item that is new. The same armor will receive a weapon or a shield when upgraded. The new item comes with its own bonus. This could be a problem because it can make the item more expensive, even if you don't need it.

If the player has enough tokens they can reroll item upgrades. The item level upgrade will be replaced with the same item, but it has a level 1 basis and totally different bonuses. This can be useful for some items, but it shouldn't be done regularly, as it can waste a lot of resources.

Certain upgrades can be rerolled many times, increasing their value and giving players the ability to alter their gear. Dolphin's Gift is a good example, as it provides buffs when the player is repeatedly in or leaves the water. The item can be upgraded several times and increases the maximum roll every time by 10 increments. This item is highly useful in PvP. A properly rolled version could be worth up to 50x the value of a unupgraded counterpart.

Requirements

Item upgrading allows players to increase the quality of their equippable equipment - weapons, armor, and trinkets that are above ilvl 385 by offering the appropriate items and currencies to an item upgrader NPC. The upgrade of armor set pieces will also boost the defense base of that piece, while upgrading weapon items will increase the damage base as well as the required strength and dexterity to meet the upgraded equipment's requirements.

Each item level upgrade can be upgraded a maximum of five times, with the exception of hero gear which can be upgraded up to eight times. Every when you upgrade an item upgrade, it has an opportunity to fail. The failure rate increases the farther you go over the maximum amount of upgrades. Failures can result in the item reverting to its original state and the player having to pay for more materials than if they had stopped upgrading after the maximum amount.

If an item is not upgraded the experience bar on its growth bar will be reset to zero. Additionally the item will lose any bonus it earned such as crit chance and attack damage, as well as any additional effects associated with the effect (for instance, an increase in heal over time or the speed of reloading). However, the player may still continue to use the weapon or armor after the failure.

If an item is upgraded, the upgrades are applied from lowest to highest. This means that the weapon that is upgraded increases its crit chance, the increase will be applied prior to any damage to attack increases. Slots is a brand-new attribute that was added to the definitions of items. The value is calculated each time an upgrade occurs.

The amount of resources required to upgrade an item is based on the rarity rating and the number of upgrade slots. The cost of upgrading non-premium equipment is equivalent to its value. For instance, a common item might have five upgrades at a cost. 25600 Technology Points 4x Quality Improvement Chance. Hero grade items have a lower cost per upgrade.

Premium items could have different upgrade requirements from regular gear. For instance they might require less sowels, however they may require more minerals and orons. The player will still need to carry every piece of equipment they wish to upgrade to NPC [Armor] Boboko located in Central Flarine. In addition to the upgrade costs listed above, each equipment upgrade will require the use of different ingredients needed to upgrade.
