Diablo 4 Item Upgrades
Items upgrades are upgrade elements that can be added to armors, weapons and trinkets to gain a bonus. They usually come at a higher cost and require the item to be at an appropriate level.
Items that have very high requirements usually don't have any value in upgrading. This is particularly true for items that don't have a lot of variance like the eth titans.
Glyphs
After reaching the 50th level in Diablo 4, Blizzard's action-RPG changes its focus from its streamlined campaign into the endgame. At level 50, the action-RPG in Diablo 4 moves from its simple campaign to the final.
Glyphs play a key part in this process. Glyphs' stats and impact radius on the Paragon Board are boosted by increasing their upgrade level. There are a handful of methods to obtain these upgrades, however most players will rely on the primary method: raiding Faction Crypts.
Glyphs lets you add symbols to your text. You can choose them from the menu at the left of the screen. The Glyphs panel displays glyphs that are based on the font in which your cursor is. You can alter the font or typestyle, and narrow the list to include only punctuation symbols using the option under Entire Font. You can see the CID/GID value as well as the Unicode value of any glyph by moving the pointer.
The Glyphs Panel will keep the track of your last 35 glyphs and show them under Recently Used in the first row (you have to expand the panel to ensure you can see all 35). You can also remove the glyph from the list by clicking on it using the right-click option or Control-click, and then selecting Remove From Recent Glyphs.
Another benefit of the Glyphs panel is that it allows you to create and edit the glyph set you want to use, which is helpful when you need to type certain types of text frequently. This will prevent you from needing to manually insert each glyph when you require it.
A custom glyph set can comprise up to 31 glyphs, including both the base name and its suffix. The base name must contain uppercase English alphabetic letters (A-Z), lowcase English alphabetic letters (a-z), European numbers (0-9), underscore (_), and other glyphs. The suffix can also include ligatures or contextual alternatives. These are special variations that combine two or more letters into one glyph.
Reroll Tokens
Upgrades are the principal mechanic that gives extra benefits on items, such as additional stats. They are available in three kinds: rerolling, recycling and leveling up. Each kind of upgrade comes with its own bonus for the item.
Reroll tokens are used to change the item upgrader's base stats and upgrade number. They can also be used to reroll substats in rings. This is useful if a player wants to upgrade an item level upgrade, however the "potential" power of that item isn't what they're looking for. Or if their substats of the item aren't what they want to be.
Rerolling an item upgrader mod (review) is costing 1 token. It will reset the upgrades, but will keep the rarity, set, and level unchanged. Leveling an item up increases its level and with each tier, the primary stat is boosted by +3, and a random extra stat is also boosted. The ability to level an item upgrader mod to its max possible level increases its level by 1.
The Blueprint Desk allows players to purchase new appliances, ingredients, and Decorations for their restaurant. Blueprints are available at the start of each Preparation Phase and appear as envelopes which can be opened by pressing the Grab. Each blueprint comes with a distinct icon, with each type of upgradeable item having various icons:
Choosing a franchise card from the Blueprint Desk will allow you to obtain certain appliances or ingredients that are needed for certain recipes. Some Appliances and Inputs are staples, meaning they won't be available in the Shop or on rerolls while others will have a greater likelihood of appearing if a specific franchise card is chosen at the Blueprint Desk. The Staple Pool is where all items will remain for the duration of the game. In the same way, non-staple equipment is transferred to the Seed Pool when it is purchased from the Blueprint Desk.
Recycled Items
The magic happens with the third "R," recycling. When you recycle a product that is made from recycled materials you're not only helping the environment but also giving the item a new life. This is because the majority of items that are recycled go back to the manufacturer of the original to be remanufactured to create a new product. This is referred to as "closing of the loop of recycling."
When a person puts something into their recycling bin at the curb, it gets sent to a Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) where it is separated and sorted into its various components. Then it is sold to end-user manufacturers to make something brand new. Remade products include:
This reduces the need to plant harvest or extract raw materials from the Earth to create something new. In turn, this decreases the amount of damage caused to the natural world and less trees are trimmed down and rivers diverted, and wild animals are relocated. This also reduces pollution by the disposal of raw materials into our water, soil and air.
Purchasing recycled products helps keep local businesses and jobs alive particularly for those who specialize in recycling materials. This is due to the fact that demand for such products helps encourage companies to participate in this eco-friendly initiative.
The final reason to buy recycled products is that it requires less energy to produce new products using recycled material than to create them from raw materials. This is because the manufacturing process of creating a new aluminum can requires 95 percent more energy than production of the same aluminum can from recycled material. Every little part is important.
Leveling
The majority of units can be leveled up which grants them additional XP every time they attack or are attacked. This is used to increase the primary stat of the unit or unlock additional upgrades on the unit's development tree. Weapons are a great example, as they can be upgraded and increase their damage and range.
Most leveling systems require a certain amount of levels to be completed however this can vary from game to game. Making use of coins or other materials is the only way to go up. Most systems employ both, but some only make use of one.
In many games, leveling can be an issue because it makes certain units too powerful while other units are unable be competitive. Limiting the amount of leveling that players are allowed to do will force them into deciding what they want to upgrade and the reason for it.
