World of Warcraft Upgrades and Item Upgrading

Upgrades can boost the value of armors, weapons and rings. Upgrades can also boost bonuses like Crit chance and damage from PvE.

If the weapon's upgrade template ends in %, it will gain 3% of its previous damage for every time it is upgraded.

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

Components

Upgrade components are items that can be put into armor, weapons, and trinkets in order to provide a stat bonus or extra impact while they're being used. They can be obtained through making crafts, buying from vendors, trading with other players, or looting. Certain upgrades have unique cosmetic effects.

Upgrade components can be placed in equipment that has a slot for them. The item must have been at the very least upgraded to blue level to allow a component to be used. Upgrade components, unlike other modifications, can only be applied once. They are not able to be replaced or applied several times. 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 gear that is ascended or by completing an elite mission in the Prophecies, Factions and Nightfall campaigns.

An upgrade can have a prefix or suffix changing the name of the item to the upgrade (for example 'Canthan Armor Insignia is changed to Canthan Armor of Minor Vigor). Certain upgrades boost an item upgrader's Mark Level or Rarity, allowing players to make stronger versions of the equipment with the smallest amount of Upgrade Crystals than would be required to reach the same level of upgrade using normal methods.

A 'boost' upgrade can alter the attack or defence characteristics of the weapon or armor. These upgrades are available to be crafted from the Portative Forging Station once the player has completed the cutscene and Item upgrading defeats the Crazed Mechanical. These upgrades can be obtained by purchasing them in the cash shop or getting them from enemies while upgrading other gear.

The player can have up to five boost upgrades at one time. Each upgrade increases the chance that a better-quality version of the item will appear during the next reset. This gives players the opportunity to upgrade their equipment even if they are unsure how much it can be improved upon a reset.

If a boost upgrade is successful or not, the process could be costly, and there is a substantial risk that the item may become obsolete or even break when it fails; a failure to upgrade can destroy Upgrade Crystals and Assist Powder as well as the upgraded item. This is reduced by the availability of cash shop items that increase or even eliminate the chances of failure, as well as some upgrades that offer the benefit of being reinserted into an item.

Glyphs

Glyphs are upgrade parts that can be inserted into special sockets on the Paragon Board. Glyphs boost the power of all nodes in the area around them, including pre-existing affixes on equipment. Glyphs can be upgraded in numerous ways. We recommend upgrading them as fast as possible to level 15.

In the endgame you'll find that the best way to enhance your gear is by placing Glyphs. These are the only upgrade components that can be upgraded to level 15 and provide an enormous boost to your power on the Paragon Board.

The majority of upgrades in the game can be replaced, however, Glyphs are only the one upgrade component that can be removed and replaced without restriction. The only exception is legendary equipment that requires a Black Lion Salvage Kit to salvage and replace.

Each Glyph has a specific range of values that it can improve a statistic by. The value is displayed when you choose the Glyph in your inventory. You can replace it with an Glyph that is of the same or higher rank to boost 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 gathering tools that are unlimited-use, and through Faction Crypt raids. Every Faction Crypt will drop one of these Glyphs. There are some rare glyphs which you can find in any of the Faction Crypts.

After you have acquired the desired Glyphs you will require them to be put on your gear. Each Glyph unlocks a bonus that boosts the stats of a particular set of nodes within a radius around the Glyph. This will either be +40 for one of your primary stats, or +25 for two of your secondary stats depending on the Glyph.

The use of Glyphs Glyph will boost all nodes that are linked to it, and you should aim to place your Glyphs near key nodes on the Graph to maximise the impact. For example that a Druid should try to position their Glyphs near their primary damage nodes, however, you may also want to think about placing them near crucial damage nodes as well.

Leveling

The item upgrading system allows players to improve the effectiveness of certain items by placing upgraded components inside them. This is commonly known as "upping". Every upgradeable item is assigned a level which determines the final stats. Upgraded items can be upgraded up to a maximum of 385 ilvl. Each level of an item requires various components, and upgrade costs increase with each level.

Some upgrades require a special ingredient to activate. This ingredient can be obtained by making Upgrade Recipes. These recipes can be found in the upgrade tab of a crafting table, or obtained from NPCs. Each Upgrade Recipe completed will result in a certain amount of Technology points. These points can be used to the upgrading of an item. When enough points have been earned, you will be able to claim your upgrade and receive its additional bonuses.

When the player upgrades an item it is replaced with a different item of the same kind. The same armor will be upgraded to a weapon or a shield when 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 don't require it.

Item upgrades can sometimes be rerolled if the player has enough reroll tokens to be able to do so. The item will be replaced by an entirely new item that is based on a level 1 base and totally different bonuses. This is a good option for certain items, but it's not something that should be done regularly, as it could waste lots of resources.

Certain upgrades can boost their value and allow players to personalize their gear. A good example of this is Dolphin's Gift, which gives an increase in power when a player is repeatedly in and out of the water (or does not swim as a dolphin). The item can be upgraded several times by increasing the maximum roll every time by 10 increments. This item is extremely valuable in PvP. A well-rolled version can be worth as much as 50x the value of its unupgraded counterpart.

Requirements

Item upgrading allows players to upgrade the level of their equippable equipment - weapons, armor, and trinkets over ilvl 385 by offering the appropriate items and currency to an NPC who upgrades items. Upgrading armor set pieces will also increase the base defense of that piece, while upgrading weapons will increase the base damage as well as the required strength and dexterity to match the requirements of the upgraded equipment.

Each item can be upgraded up to five times, with the exception for hero equipment, which is able to be upgraded eight times. Each each time you upgrade an item it is given a chance to fail--the rate of failure increases as you exceed the maximum amount of upgrades. Failures can cause the item to go to its initial state, which will force the user to spend more money on materials than they would have to had they stopped upgrading at the maximum amount of upgrades.

If an item fails to upgrade the amount of experience in its growth bar is reset to zero. The item also loses any bonuses it has gained like chances to be crit, attack damage, or other effects (such as increased heal over time, or reloading speed). The player can continue to use their weapon or armor after the failure.

When an item is upgraded the upgrades are applied from the lowest to the highest. This means that when a weapon gains an increase in the chance of crit, the increase is applied before any increase in attack damage. Slots is a brand new attribute that has been added to the definitions of items. The value is calculated every time an upgrade occurs.

The amount of resources required to upgrade an item is based on the rarity rating as well as the number of upgrade slots. The cost of upgrading non-premium items is the same as the base value of the upgrade. For instance, a typical equipment item might have 5 upgrades, each costing 25600 Technology Points 4x Quality Improvement Chance. Hero quality items are less expensive per upgrade.

Premium items have different upgrade requirements as compared to standard equipment, for instance, they may require fewer sowels, but they will require more minerals and erons. Whatever the case, players must visit the NPC [Armorthe ] Boboko in Central Flarine with each piece of equipment they want to upgrade. In addition to the upgrade costs mentioned above, each upgrade will require an individual amount of ingredients needed to upgrade.
