Components

Upgrade components are things that can be put into trinkets, weapons or gathering tools to give an added bonus or effect when the item upgrades is used. They are an essential element in crafting and can be gathered through salvaging or purchased from vendors. They can also be found in the form of drops in the game dropped by enemies or gathered from spheres of items. They can be used to upgrade armor or weapons with an upgrade slot.

To achieve the highest amount of progress in the game, it's crucial to utilize upgrade components to maximize experience gained when upgrading gear and weapons. Adding organic components to an upgraded item will increase its experience multiplier, while mechanical components will reduce it. The best combination is a high experience-multiplier organic component followed by a low-experience-multiplier mechanical component. This will increase your experience gain and make the next level of weapon or equipment much easier to attain.

The upgrade system is complex and it's essential to understand how it works to maximize the benefits of your upgrades. The system keeps a running total for the item you're upgrading. Each component has either a positive or negative multiplier value, and when the total reaches certain thresholds then it's reset to zero.

In addition the amount of time gained from each upgrade component is influenced by the rank of the item being upgraded and its experience multiplier. The higher-ranked items are more difficult to upgrade while the lower-ranked ones are easier to obtain.

If everything is connected correctly, the computer should boot normally. This is a crucial step to ensure that the new hardware is compatible with your current systems and will operate seamlessly.

Control Glyph is another good glyph that increases damage to enemies that are stunned, frozen or slowed. Each glyph has a radius and the radius increases as you upgrade the glyph. This makes glyphs a great method to improve your gear during the last game.
