How to Upgrade Items in Pokemon GO

The Upgrade is among the most valuable items in Pokemon GO. It lets trainers transform Porygon into Porygon2 and also allows them to grow in their Pokedex.

It is a rare item, however it can be obtained by spinning a Photo Disc at a Pokestop, or as a prize for special events. What does this item do?

Components

Upgrade components are items that can be slotted into trinkets, weapons or gathering tools in order to give an attribute bonus or extra effect while the item is being used. They are an essential element in the process of crafting. They can be gathered through salvaging or purchased from vendors. They can be found as drops in the game, dropped by enemies or gathered from spheres of items. They can be used to upgrade weapons or armor with an upgrade slot.

Utilizing upgrade components to maximize the experience gained from upgrading weapons and gear is crucial to achieve the highest degree of progression in the game. Incorporating organic components into an upgraded item will increase the experience multiplier, whereas 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 allow you to progress to the next level of equipment or weapon more accessible.

It's important to know how the upgrade system works to get the most out of your upgrades. The system works by keeping an ongoing total of experience for the product you're upgrading. Each component has either a positive or negative multiplier, and when the value reaches a certain threshold the value will be reset to zero.

The amount of experience gained from each upgrade component can also be influenced by the item's hidden rank as well as its experience multiplier. This means that higher-ranked items are more difficult to upgrade, whereas less ranked items are easier to achieve.

When a new upgrade to your hardware is installed, it's crucial to remove all existing connections and fasteners holding the old component in place. Keep them in an inventory tray to make identification and storage easier. Reconnect all wires and cables, and connect the power source. Test the computer by turning on. If everything is connected correctly the computer should start up normally. This is an important step to ensure that the new hardware is compatible with your existing systems and will function seamlessly.

Glyphs

Glyphs are a fantastic tool to enhance your equipment, but you must know how to utilize it. Each glyph comes with a range of values it can improve a substat by and higher-rank Glyphs have more powerful values. Make sure you choose wisely, because you can only upgrade glyphs once. Glyphs can also be used only once which means they are gone after you use them on an object or artifact.

The most effective symbols are those that increase the chance to roll an affix that is of the desired tier or type. They are usually found on the most expensive armor, weapons and accessories. They are also available on the Paragon Board and are usually worth the effort, but they may be difficult to find.

Glyphs are available in the Black Lion Chests, or purchased from the Trading Post. Certain glyphs are available for use only once some are not, while others are permanently. These are ideal for items that have to be used frequently. The Glyph of Hope allows you to increase your chances of obtaining a specific affix by creating a magical effect on an item upgrading.

Certain glyphs may also be used to modify existing affixes. This is often seen on boots and gloves. Each can host four different affixes. The Glyph of Insight for example, turns a prefix in an experimental affix. This is a fantastic tool to have if you want to maximize your damage output or you want to ensure that you'll receive a top-quality affix for a specific slot.

When you reach 50, the game will change drastically. You'll no longer be able to rely on the campaign. Instead, you will have to navigate the Paragon Board, Nightmare Dungeons and new grinds in order to optimize your game.

The most effective glyphs will be those that match your character's specialization, for example the Exploit Glyph which boosts damage to weak enemies. Control Glyph is another good glyph that boosts damage against enemies that are stunned, frozen or slowed. Each glyph has a radius and the radius grows when you upgrade the glyph. This makes glyphs an excellent option to upgrade your gear late in the game.

Reroll tokens

A reroll token is an upgrade item that lets players modify one of the attributes on an item. This can be done in the item upgrade window by selecting an item and then pressing an green button that has circular arrows. The cost of rerolling is contingent on the rarity of the item.

Reroll tokens can be found in the Mystery Box or as rare drops from skulled monsters. They can be purchased from the Trader. They are also obtained through Events Items and can be obtained from other players. They are used to reroll weapons, armors and rings in increments of 2. Each token rerolls gives players a chance to roll for a new attribute which can be either higher or lower than the previous one.

The reroll token is not just used to upgrade the reroll and upgrade, but it can also be used to recycle items. The rarity of the item determines how many points players will earn by recycling it. This is a great method to get rid old, useless equipment which hasn't been upgraded.

The reroll token can be used to give new weapon characteristics. These are displayed to the player, who is able to choose whether or not. The player is able to offer up to six items at one time, and the options increase depending on the rarity of the item and level rises. This option is available through the Upgrade tab within the forge.

Reroll tokens can also be used to reroll an item's set bonus which is granted when three or more items from the same set are placed on an item. The set bonus applies only to units that belong to the same class, and cannot be applied to units belonging to different classes.

There are also a number of other upgrade items in the game that can be rerolled like the recipes. These items aren't sold in the shop or through rerolls, but instead are transferred to the non-droppable Pool when players select the Food Card requiring new Ingredients or equipment. The reroll token can be used to reroll the extra bonuses, however the base stats (including all upgrades), and level will remain unchanged.

Leveling

In the game, you can upgrade your equipment by using item upgrades. They can be made by obtaining the ingredients needed from NPCs who are item upgrader upgraders in major cities. Once an item has been upgraded, its stats will be increased. Some affixes can also be changed. This could result in significant increases to the ilvl of an item.

When an item is upgraded, it will display an icon of blue in its upper-left corner. The item will also display an amount of upgrades below its maximum level. The maximum level of the item upgrading will increase if there are more upgrades. The player can upgrade an item in as many times as they want. This will allow players to reach gear breakpoints which boost the reroll probability of certain affixes.

The feature of upgrading items lets players upgrade the level and quality of their helmets, weapons and armor. The process involves the purchase of items, which can be traded at the upgrader NPC in exchange for currency. The upgrader will display an image of the item's new level and accept either Happy Tickets or Happy Stars to complete the upgrade. The item used to make materials will be gone. However the upgraded item will retain Item EXP, which will allow it to be upgraded further.

There is no way to guarantee that an Upgrade will appear however, it is a very low probability of appearing during spinning Pokestops or Gyms. Players can use an Upgrade to evolve into a Porygon into a Porygon2 and consume the item.

The Upgrade is an evolution item that was introduced in Generation II. It's a transparent device packed with a variety of information, created by Silph Co. It is a tool to evolve specific Pokemon species and is activated when you trade it with the Link Cable. It is a rare item with a 1% probability of dropping every spin from Pokestops and Gyms. It can also be obtained by taking part in the Upgrade Station event.
