The 10 Most Scariest Things About Item Upgrading

World of Warcraft Upgrades and Item Upgrading

Upgrades can boost the value of certain numeric statistics on armor, weapons and rings. Upgrades also increase bonuses such as Crit chance and damage from PvE.

If the template for upgrading a weapon is %, it will be able to gain 3percent of its previous attack damage every time it is upgraded.

The cost of upgrading an item is determined by the item's level. The cost increases as the item's level rises.

Components

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

Upgrade components can only be used on devices that have slots. The item must be upgraded to a blue level before the component can be applied. Upgrade components, unlike other modifications, can only be applied once. They are not able to be replaced or applied multiple times. Infusions and enrichments are a specific type of upgrade items 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 from the ascended, or by completing an elite mission in the Prophecies, Factions and Nightfall campaigns.

An upgrade item may include a suffix or prefix that alters the name of the item to which it is used (for examplethe 'Canthan Armor Insignia' becomes Canthan Armor of Minor Vigor). Certain upgrades boost the Mark Level or Rarity, allowing players to create stronger versions of that equipment with fewer Upgrade Crystals than would be required to achieve the same level of upgrade using normal methods.

A 'boost' upgrade can alter the attack or defence characteristics of an armored weapon or. These upgrades can be made using the Portative Forging Station once the player has completed the cutscene, and defeats the Crazed Mechanical. These upgrades are available for purchase them in the cash shop or obtaining them from enemies when upgrading other equipment.

The player can get the maximum of five boost upgrades at a time; each upgrade increases the chance that a better-quality version of the item level upgrade will drop in the next reset. This gives players an incentive to upgrade their gear even when they're not sure how much it will be improved following the reset.

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

Glyphs

Glyphs can be used to upgrade the Paragon Board by placing them in sockets that are specifically designed for. Glyphs increase the power of all nodes within the area around them as well as existing affixes on equipment. Glyphs can be upgraded in numerous ways. We recommend upgrading them as fast as you can to level 15.

In the endgame you'll find that the best way to improve your gear is by placing Glyphs. They are the only upgrade components that can be upgraded directly to level 15 and provide significant boosts to your power and radius on the Paragon Board, enabling you to get higher nodes much faster.

Glyphs, which is the only upgrade component that can be removed without restriction and replaced again, are the most common. The only exception is legendary equipment, which requires the use of a Black Lion Salvage Kit to salvage and re-place.

Each Glyph has a specific range of values that can enhance a stat by. The value is shown when you select 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.

There are Glyphs in the Black Lion Trading Post, as part of a Gem Store purchase or bundle with certain unlimited-use gathering tools and also through Faction Crypt raids. Every Faction Crypt could drop one of these Glyphs. There are some rare glyphs you can find in any of the Faction Crypts.

Once you have obtained the desired Glyphs you will need them to be placed on your equipment. Each Glyph unlocks a unique 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 boost all nodes that are connected to them, which is why it is best to put Glyphs in key spots on the Graph. This will increase the impact. For example that a Druid should aim to place their Glyphs close to their primary damage nodes, but also think about placing them near crucial damage nodes too.

Leveling

The system of upgrading items allows players to improve the stats of certain items by placing upgraded components inside them. This is often referred to as "upping". Each upgradeable item is assigned an amount that determines the final statistics. Upgraded items can be upgraded to a maximum of ilvl 385. Each level of an item requires different components, and the cost of upgrading increase with each level.

Some upgrades require an ingredient to be activated. This ingredient can be obtained by finishing Upgrade Recipes. These recipes can be purchased from NPCs or found on the upgrade tab in a crafting table. Each Upgrade Recipe completed results in a certain amount of Technology points. These points can be used to level up the item. Once enough points have been earned, the upgrade will be claimed and the additional bonuses will be added to the item.

When the player upgrade an item it will be replaced with a new item. The same armor can be transformed into the form of a weapon or shield when upgraded. The new item also comes with its own bonus. This could be a drawback, as it can cause the item to become more expensive if you do not need it.

Item upgrades can sometimes be rerolled, provided that the player has enough reroll tokens to do this. The item will be replaced by a brand new one that has a base of level 1 and completely different bonuses. This is useful for certain items, however it shouldn't be done regularly, as it can waste lots of resources.

Some upgrades can be rerolled multiple times to increase their value, allows the player to modify their gear. One example is Dolphin's Gift, which gives an increase in power when a player repeatedly enters and exits water (or is able to swim like a dolphin). It is possible to upgrade it several times, each time increasing the maximum roll by an increment of 10. This item is extremely valuable in PvP, as an item that is properly rolled it could be worth between 20 and 50x its value without being upgraded.

Requirements

The ability to upgrade items allows players to boost the level of their available equipment--armor, weapons, and trinkets over ilvl 385 by presenting the appropriate currency and items to an item upgrader NPC. Upgrades to armor set pieces also increase the defense base of the piece, whereas 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 up to five times, with the exception for hero equipment, which is able to be upgraded eight times. Each time you upgrade an object it is at risk of failing. The probability of failure increases as you go over the maximum number. Failures can result in the item returning to its original state and the player having to pay for more resources than if they had stopped upgrading after the maximum amount.

If an item is not able to upgrade items the amount of experience in its growth bar is reset to zero. The item also loses any bonuses it has gained, such as chances to be crit, attack damage, or additional effects (such as increased heal over time, or reloading speed). However, the user can continue to use the weapon or armor following the failure.

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

The amount of resources needed to upgrade an item is based on the rarity rating and the number of upgrade slots. The cost for upgrading non-premium products is equal to 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 have a lower cost per upgrade.

Premium items have different upgrade requirements as compared to standard equipment, for instance, they might require fewer sowels, but they will require more minerals and erons. Whatever the case, players will have to visit the NPC [Armor] Boboko in Central Flarine with each piece of equipment they wish to upgrade. In addition to the upgrade cost mentioned above, each upgrade will require a different amount of the upgrade ingredients.
