World of Warcraft Upgrades and Item Upgrading Upgrades boost the value of certain numeric stats on armor, weapons and rings. Upgrades also boost bonuses like crit chance and PvE Damage. For instance a weapon that has the upgrade template that ends in % will gain 3damage to attack each time it is upgraded (relative to its previous value). The cost of upgrading an item is determined by the item's level. The cost increases with the item's level. Components Upgrade components can be incorporated into weapons, armor and trinkets in order to provide them with a boost in stats or to add an additional effect. They can be acquired through crafting, purchasing from vendors trading, or looting. Some upgrades can also be accompanied by special cosmetic effects. Upgrade components can only be used on equipment that has a slot. The item must be upgraded to a blue level before a component can be applied. Upgrade components, unlike other modifications, can only be applied only once. They are not able to be replaced or applied multiple times. Infusions and enrichments are a type of upgrade component that is used to upgrade non-amulet legendary and ascended equipment, as well other items that are not ascended. Enrichments and Infusions can be obtained by salvaging equipment that is ascended or completing a quest in the Prophecies, Factions, and Nightfall campaigns. An upgrade may be prefixed or a suffix that alters the name of the equipment with which it is used (for examplefor example 'Canthan Armor Insignia” becomes Canthan Armor of Minor Vigor). Certain upgrades boost an item's Mark Level, or Rarity, which allows players to create stronger versions of the equipment using fewer Upgrade Crystals than would be required to reach the same upgrade level through normal methods. A 'boost upgrade' can modify the attack or defense characteristics 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 by buying them from the cash shop for 500 upgrade crystals per. The player can have the maximum of five boost upgrades at a time. Each upgrade increases the probability that a higher-tier version of the item will be available in the next reset. This gives players a reason to upgrade their equipment even when they're not sure how much it will be improved after an update. The process of upgrading an item could be expensive, and it is possible that the item will become obsolete, or even break, in the event that the upgrade is unsuccessful. Upgrade Crystals and assist powders are also destroyed when the upgrade fails. Cash shop items can be used to reduce or eliminate the chance of failure. Certain upgrades also provide the player a bonus if they are they are reinserted. Glyphs Glyphs are upgrade elements which can be put in special sockets on the Paragon Board. Glyphs increase the power of all nodes in their radius and include pre-existing affixes to equipment. Glyphs are upgraded in many ways. We recommend upgrading them as fast as possible up to 15 levels. You'll often see in the endgame that putting Glyphs is the best method to upgrade your equipment. These are the only upgrade component that can be upgraded to level 15 and offer 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 commonly used. Only legendary equipment can be salvaged and rebuilt with the help of a Black Lion Salvage Kit. Each Glyph has a specific range of values it can improve a statistic by. The value is shown when you choose the Glyph in your inventory. You can replace it with a Glyph that is of the same or higher rank to increase the 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. Each Faction Crypt has a chance to drop one of the various 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 obtained the desired Glyphs You will have to attach them to your gear. Each Glyph unlocks a bonus which will boost the stats of a specific set of nodes that are within the radius of the Glyph. Depending on the Glyph the bonus will be +40 to one of your primary stats or +25 to two of your secondary stats. Utilizing a Glyph can boost all nodes that are linked to it, so you should try to place your Glyphs close to key nodes on the Graph to maximise the impact. Druids, for instance should position their Glyphs close to their primary damage nodes. They may also want to consider placing them near their most critical damage nodes. Leveling The system of upgrading items allows players to increase the stats of certain items by placing upgraded components inside them. This is referred to as “upping”. Each upgradeable item comes with a level that determines its final upgraded stats. Upgraded items can be upgraded up to a maximum of 385 ilvl. Each item level requires a different number of components to reach, and the upgrade costs increase as the item gets leveled up. Some upgrades require an ingredient to be activated. This ingredient is obtained from the completion of Upgrade Recipes. These recipes are available in the upgrade tab of a crafting table, or obtained from NPCs. Each Upgrade Recipe that is completed earns some Technology Points. These points can be used to upgrading an item. Once enough points are earned, you will be able to claim the upgrade and receive its additional bonuses. When a player upgrade a piece of equipment the original item will be replaced by a new item. The same armor will be upgraded to an weapon or shield when upgraded. The new item will also have a unique bonus. This could be a drawback, as it can cause the item to become more expensive, even if you don't need it. Upgrades to items can be rerolled, provided that the player has enough reroll tokens to be able to do so. This causes the item to be exchanged for a new one, which will have a level 1 base and a different set of bonuses. This can be useful however it shouldn't be done often as it can waste resources. Certain upgrades can increase their value and allow players to modify their equipment. Dolphin's Gift is a good example, as it gives buffs when the player repeatedly enters or exits water. The item can be upgraded multiple times and increases the maximum roll every time by 10 increments. This item is very valuable in PvP. A properly rolled version could be worth as much as 50x the value of its non-upgraded version. Requirements The item upgrade r allows players to raise the level of their equippable equipment (armor weapons, weapons trinkets, and armor) beyond ilvl385 by handing over the appropriate currency to the NPC. The upgrade of armor set pieces will also increase the base defense 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. Each item 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 has a chance of failing. The rate of failure increases when you exceed the maximum number. Failures will cause the item to revert to its initial state, requiring the player to spend more money on materials than they would have to had they stopped upgrading at the maximum amount of upgrades. If an item isn't upgraded the experience bar in its growth bar will reset to zero. Additionally the item will lose any bonuses it gained such as crit chance and attack damage, as well as any other effects that are associated with that effect (for instance, a higher healing over time or speed of reload). However, the user can still continue to use the weapon or armor after the failure. When an item is upgraded the upgrades are applied from the lowest to the highest. This means that if a weapon gains an increase in crit chance it will be applied before any increase in attack damage. A new attribute known as Slots is now added to the definition of the item and the value is computed every time an upgrade is applied. The amount of resources required to upgrade an item is determined on the rarity rating and the number of upgrade slots. The cost of upgrading non-premium products is equal to the base value of the upgrade—for instance, a typical equipment item might have 5 upgrades with a cost of 25600 Technology Points 4x Quality Improvement Chance. Hero grade items have a lower cost per upgrade. Premium items have different upgrade requirements in comparison to standard equipment. For instance, they might require fewer sowels, but they will require more minerals and erons. Regardless, the player will have to visit the NPC [Armor] Boboko in Central Flarine with each piece of equipment they wish to upgrade. Each upgrade of equipment will require different amounts of upgrade ingredients in addition to the cost listed above.
