Pokemon GO Upgrade Items and Components
An upgrade item Upgrader kit is an item upgrade that makes certain Pokemon change. The upgrade can be obtained by spinning a PokeStop's picture disc and can be given as a reward at Pokemon GO events.
The Upgrade can also be found in weapons, armor trinkets, and gathering tools to increase their item level. The upgrade costs Flightstones or crests based on the type of item.
Upgrade components
Upgrade components can be slotted into weapons, armor trinkets and gathering tools to offer attribute bonuses or additional effects while the equipment is being used. The equipment that is upgraded must have an available upgrade slot to accommodate the component, and most upgrade components require the item upgrader kit to be upgraded to be above the specified level. Certain upgrade items come with special effects that can be seen when they are used. Upgrade components can be obtained by crafting, bought by Karma merchants, or exchanged with other players through the Trading Post. They can also be salvaged from equipment and received as rewards.
There are various upgrade components, each of which comes with distinct bonuses. Universal upgrades, which include gems and inscriptions, can be used with any kind of equipment, and offer smaller bonuses than other types of upgrade components. Infusions can be utilized on non-amulet and legendary ascended items, while enhancements can be used on some ascended back equipment. Slotting in an upgrade component can destroy the previous upgrade. Exceptions are glyphs (which can only be used in gathering tools) and Enchantments, which can be removed and then reinserted.
Insignias or enchantments, as well as prefix/suffix upgrades will appear in the hover display of the item, while they will be added to the equipment's name (e.g. the word Radiant Insignia would change the name to Radiant Tyrian Armor). The tooltip of an item will display the number of upgrade components that have been added to it.
Glyphs
Glyphs are special characters that can be inserted into an OpenType font to add functional or decorative elements, like ligatures, ornaments, fractions, swashes registered trademark symbols, and ellipses. The Glyphs Panel allows you to add and view these unique characters, along with common symbols like em and en dashes, as well in registered trademark symbols.
Each Glyph provides an initial boost in stats for the character. The glyph could also be equipped with up to four secondary stats that influence its radius on your Paragon Board. Secondary Stats are a %-increase which is multiplied once other bonuses are applied, with the exception of Speed Glyphs which directly increase the speed of the hero.
The Glyphs in your inventory can be activated by selecting them, and then clicking the "enchant" button. This will bring up a window that displays the Glyphs available to you. Note that only the right type of Glyph can be applied to the item you are looking for in that every weapon, jewelry or armor piece may have distinct sets of Glyphs.
Glyphs can be leveled up by running Nightmare Dungeons or completing Tree of Whisper quests. The more difficult the dungeon is, the more Glyph experience you'll gain. Once a Glyph has reached level 15 it can be upgraded on the Glyph Upgrade Altar. The radius of the Paragon Board increases by one node for each 15 levels that a Glyph is upgraded.
Once a Glyph has been upgraded to its desired level, you can activate it by selecting it, then clicking the "enchant" button. The resulting glyph will give the stated bonus and increase the number of nodes within its range on the Paragon Board. Glyphs should go where they will benefit your build the most. This is why you should prioritise Magic Glyphs as soon as possible. The glyphs that are rare may offer dual bonuses if certain conditions are satisfied which is why they're worth checking out for too.
Click the cycle widget to alter the view of the Glyphs Panel. Each of these views displays the Glyphs in a different font. You can narrow down the list of glyphs further by selecting an option under "Entire Font": for example, punctuation displays only punctuation glyphs; Math symbols restricts the selection to mathematical symbols.
Rerolling
Rerolling is a method in which you open a new account to give yourself more chances to play the character or weapon you are interested in. This can help you level up faster or to obtain more loot, for example, a better weapon for your character. Many players will reroll until they have the characters they like, regardless of their power. It could be because they like the style or the personality of the character.
When you reroll, it is important be sure that the changes you're making are safe. You should verify locally whether the patch is approved by pre-commit and run a core dev test. Upload the patch with a clear difference to a bug (see What is an interdiff?) ).
Rerolls may be weeks or days long depending on how fortunate you are. To speed up the process, avoid enemy camps that are not required during this time. It is also recommended to avoid repeating quests that you can complete later on in the game. This will save time and energy.
Another crucial aspect to remember when rerolling is to make sure that you are aware of the upgrade item system. There are many ways to improve your character's appearance and strength. Upgrades, rerolling characters, and upgrading weapons are all options. It is also crucial to be aware of the limitations of the system.
Rerolling isn't a necessity however it can be a way to increase your chances of getting an item or character. It is a great option if you're looking for the best character to play or if you're wanting to try different play styles and builds.
Sets
A set is an object collection having 2 common attributes (like the number of eggs in a dozen or the members of a group). Sets can be used to perform operations such as intersection, union, and difference.
Upgrades make a set better than it was before. This means that armor and weapons will have a greater defense value and less strength requirements.
Upgrading is a great way to bring popular single-set items up to level with their higher-tiered set counterparts. Upgrades such as Guillaume's Face Helm to the Elite Spired helmet could boost the defense from 217 to 321 and reduce the strength and level requirements to a more feasible range.
However it's important to keep in mind that not all set items are good candidates for upgradation. Certain sets, like the FB Sorc Whistan's shield or Naj's puzzler staff, are already Exceptional in their own rights and don't need upgrading. On the other hand, certain items that are BiS and are used frequently (like Goldwrap) may benefit from being upgraded to increase their stats even more. It might be worthwhile to upgrade these items.
