Pokemon GO Upgrade Items and Components
An upgrade item is a unique item that can make certain Pokemon develop. The upgrade can be made by spinning a PokeStop photo disc. It is sometimes offered as a prize at Pokemon GO events.
Upgrades can be used on armors, weapons trinkets, weapons, and gathering tools in order to raise their item level. The upgrade costs Flightstones or crests depending on the type of item upgrader.
Upgrade components
Upgrade components can be inserted into weapons, armors, trinkets and gathering tools to increase attributes bonuses or other effects while using the equipment. Upgrade components can only be used on equipment that has an upgrade slot. The majority of upgrade components require that the item to be upgraded is at a certain level. Certain upgrade items also come with special visual effects when they are added to an equipment piece. Upgrade components can be obtained through crafting, bought from karma merchants or traded with other players via the Trading Post. They can also be rescued from equipment and received as rewards.
Various upgrade components are available, each offering a different bonus. Universal upgrades like gems and inscriptions are able to be applied to any type of equipment. They offer fewer bonuses than other types of upgrade components. Infusions can be found in non-amulet ascended equipment as well as legendary equipment, while enhancements are used to upgrade certain ascended back items. Inserting an upgrade component can destroy the previous upgrade. The only exceptions are glyphs that can only be placed in gathering tools, as well as enchantments. Both are able to be removed and reinserted.
Insignias and enchantments will show their names in the hover display of the item while prefix and suffix upgrades will add their name to the end of the name of the equipment (e.g. an Radiant Insignia on Tyrian Armor would change the name to Radiant Tyrian Armor). The tooltip of an item upgrader will display the number of upgrades that have been added to it.
Glyphs
Glyphs can be used to add decorative and useful elements to an OpenType font. They include ligatures, fractions, or ornaments, as well as registered trademark symbols, ellipses and swashes as well as swashes. The Glyphs Panel lets you insert and examine these special characters as well as regular symbols like em and en dashes as well being registered trademark symbols.
Each Glyph provides an initial boost in stats for the character. It also has up to four Secondary Stats that affect the glyph's radius on your Paragon Board. Secondary Stats can be described as a %-increase which is multiplied once other bonuses are applied in addition to Speed Glyphs which directly increase the hero's speed.
The Glyphs in your inventory can be activated by selecting them and then clicking the "enchant" button. This will display a window with the Glyphs that are available to you. Note that only the right kind of Glyph can be applied to the selected item, as every weapon, jewelry or armor piece can have a different set of available Glyphs.
Glyphs can be leveled up through the use of Nightmare Dungeons or completing Tree of Whisper quests. The more difficult a Dungeon is, the greater Glyph experience you will gain. Once a Glyph has reached level 15, it can be upgraded via 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 reached the desired level, it is possible to activate it. Select it and then click the "enchant button". The resulting glyph will offer its stated benefit and increase the number of nodes in its radius on the Paragon Board. It's important to place Glyphs where they will be most beneficial to your game, which is why it's a good idea to prioritize Magic Glyphs early on. Rare glyphs could also provide double bonuses in the event that certain conditions are met.
Click the cycle widget to change the view of the Glyphs Panel. Each of these views will display the Glyphs using a different font. You can reduce the number of glyphs by selecting an option beneath "Entire Font". For example, punctuation is only displayed in punctuation glyphs. Math Symbols limits the choices to mathematical symbols.
Rerolling
Rerolling is a process in which you create a new account to give yourself more chances to play the character or weapon you are interested in. It is done to to level up faster, or to obtain better loot such as a new weapon for your character. Many players roll again until they find the characters that they like regardless of their strength. This could be due to the fact that they like the character's design or their personality.
You must ensure that you make clean changes when you reroll. You should test locally to see if the patch passes pre-commit and run a Core dev check. You should also upload the patch to an issue with a plain diff (see What's the deal with an interdiff? ).
Rerolls could take days or weeks to complete, depending on the luck you have. During this period, you should avoid enemy camps that are optional to avoid wasting time. You should also avoid re-doing quests that you can complete later on in the game. This will save you time and energy.
Another important consideration when rerolling is making sure that you are aware of the upgrade item system. There are a variety of ways to improve your character's strength and appearance. Upgrades, rerolling characters and upgrading weapons are all options. It is also important to be aware of the limitations of the system.
Rerolling is not a necessary part of the game, but it can be useful 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 want to try different builds and play styles.
Sets
A set is a group of objects with common-2 attributes (like the number of eggs in a dozen, or the members of a class). Sets can be used to perform operations such as intersection, union, and difference.
When you upgrade an item, it becomes an entirely new version that is better than the previous one. This means that armor and weapons will have a greater defense value and lower requirements for strength.
Upgrading can be an excellent way to bring popular single-set items up to parity with their higher-tier set counterparts. For example, upgrading Guillaume's Face helm to an Elite Spired Helm boosts the defense from 217 to 321 while reducing the strength requirement and level requirement to a lower range.
It's important to remember that not all items in an assortment can be upgraded. Certain sets, like the FB Sorc spec Whistan's shield and Naj's puzzlers are exceptional in their own way and don't need upgrading. On the other hand, some items that are BiS and see frequent use (like Goldwrap) may benefit by being upgraded to boost their performance. For these kinds of items, it could be worth the cost to upp them.
