World of Warcraft Upgrades and Item Upgrading Upgrades increase the value of certain numeric stats on armor, weapons and rings. Upgrades also boost bonuses like Crit chance and PvE Damage. For example an item with the upgrade template that ends in % will gain an attack damage of 3% each time it upgrades (relative to its previous value). The cost of upgrading an item increases as it reaches the current level of the item. The cost increases as the level of the item increases. Components Upgrade components are items that can be inserted into weapons, armor, and trinkets in order to provide a stat bonus or extra effect while they're in use. They can be obtained through making crafts, buying from vendors or trading with other players, or looting. Some upgrades can also be accompanied by special cosmetic effects. Upgrade components can only be used on equipment with a slot. The item must be at least upgraded to blue before the component can be applied. Upgrade components, unlike other mods, can only be applied once. They are not able to be replaced or applied multiple times. Infusions and Enrichments are a kind of upgrade component used to upgrade non-amulet legendary and ascended equipment, as well other items that are not ascended. Infusions and enrichments are recovered by salvaging ascended gear or by completing an elite mission in the Prophecies, Factions and Nightfall campaigns. A prefix or suffix can be added to an upgrade, changing the name of the item it's applied to (for example 'Canthan Armor Insignia,' becomes Canthan Armor Minor Vigor). Certain upgrades boost the Mark Rarity or Level of an item, allowing players to create stronger versions using fewer Upgrade crystals than they would need to reach the same level with normal methods. A 'boost' upgrade can alter the attack or defence attributes of the weapon or armor. These upgrades are available to be crafted from the Portative Forging Station once the player completes the cutscene and defeats the Crazed Mechanical. They can also be dropped by enemies while upgrading other gear or by purchasing them in the cash shop for 500 upgrade crystals each. Each upgrade increases the chance that a higher tier version of an item will be dropped at the next reset. This gives the player some incentive to continue improving their equipment even if they're not sure of the extent to which it will improve after a future reset. The process of upgrading an item could be expensive, and it is possible that the item will eventually become obsolete or even break if the upgrade fails. Upgrade Crystals and assist powders are also destroyed when an upgrade fails. Cash shop items can be used to minimize or eliminate the chance of failure. Some upgrades also offer a bonus if they are reinserted. Glyphs Glyphs are upgrade components that can be inserted into special sockets on the Paragon Board. Glyphs buff the power of all nodes in their radius as well as existing affixes on equipment. item upgrades are upgraded in many ways. We suggest upgrading them as soon as possible up to 15 levels. It is commonplace to see in the endgame that putting Glyphs is the most effective way to upgrade your equipment. They are the only upgrade components that can be upgraded straight to level 15 and offer significant boosts to your power and radius on the Paragon Board, enabling you to reach higher nodes much faster. Glyphs, the only upgrade component which can be removed without restriction and replaced again are the most commonly used. Only legendary equipment can be salvaged and replaced with a Black Lion Salvage Kit. The value of each Glyph is displayed when you choose it in your inventory. You can replace it with another Glyph that is the same or higher rank to boost the value of the Glyph. You can find Glyphs in the Black Lion Trading Post, as part of the Gem Store purchase or bundle with certain gathering tools that are unlimited-use as well as through Faction Crypt raids. Each Faction Crypt has the chance of dropping one of the many Glyphs, and there are also a few rare Glyphs that can be found as drops from any of the four Faction Crypts. When you have the desired Glyphs You will need to place them on your gear. Each Glyph will grant a distinct bonus that can boost a particular set of stat nodes within a radius around the Glyph. Based on the Glyph it could be +40 to one of your primary stats, or +25 to two of your secondary stats. Using a Glyph can boost all nodes that are connected to it, and you should try to place your Glyphs close to key nodes on the Graph to maximize the impact. For example an Druid should try to position 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 increase the effectiveness of specific items by putting upgraded components inside them. This is known as “upping”. Each upgradeable item comes with a level that determines its upgraded stats. Upgraded items can be upgraded up to a maximum level of 385. Each level of an item requires a different amount of components to reach and the costs for upgrading increase as the item is upgraded. Some upgrades require an ingredient to be activated. This ingredient can be obtained by making Upgrade Recipes. These recipes can be purchased from NPCs or on the upgrade tab in crafting tables. Each Upgrade Recipe that is completed earns several Technology Points. These points can be used to the upgrading of an item. Once enough points are earned, you will be able to claim your upgrade and also receive the bonuses. When item upgrades upgrades an item it is replaced with a different item of the same type. This means that the same armor piece will get a weapon or shield when upgraded. The new item will also have a unique bonus. This could be a disadvantage in that the item could increase in price even if you do not require it. The upgrades to items can be rerolled, provided that the player has enough tokens to be able to do this. This will cause the item to be exchanged for a brand new one, with an initial level and a completely different set of extra bonuses. This can be useful, but shouldn't be done often as it can be a waste of resources. Some upgrades can be rerolled several times to increase their value, allowing the player to customize their gear. An excellent example is Dolphin's Gift, which gives a buff when the player repeatedly enters and leaves the water (or swims like a dolphin). This item can be upgraded multiple times by increasing the maximum roll every time by 10 increments. This item can be very valuable in PvP as the best version of it can be worth between 20 and 50 times its value without being upgraded. Requirements Item upgrading allows players to upgrade the level of their available equipment – weapons, armor, and trinkets above ilvl 385—by providing the appropriate currency and items to an NPC that upgrades items. The upgrade of armor set pieces will also increase the defense base of the piece, whereas upgrading weapons will increase the base damage and required strength and dexterity to match the requirements of the upgraded equipment. All items are upgradeable up to five times, except for hero equipment, which is able to be upgraded eight times. Every time you upgrade an item it is given the chance to fail. The failure rate increases the farther you go beyond the maximum number of upgrades. Failures will result in the item reverting to its initial condition, which requires the user to pay more for materials than they would had they stopped upgrading at the highest number of upgrades. If an item is not able to upgrade, the amount of accumulated experience in its growth bar is reset to zero. Additionally, the item will lose any bonus it earned such as crit chance and attack damage, and all other effects that are associated with that effect (for instance, a higher healing over time or reload speed). The player can continue to use their weapon or armor after the failure. If an item is upgraded, the upgrades are applied in order from the lowest to the highest. This means that if a weapon gains a crit chance increase it will be applied before any damage to attack increases. Slots is a brand-new attribute that has been added to the definitions of items. The value is recalculated every time an upgrade occurs. The amount of resources needed to upgrade an item is based on its rarity rating and the number of upgrade slots. The cost of upgrading non-premium items is equal to the base value of the upgrade—for example, a common equipment item could have five upgrades, each costing 25600 Technology Points, 4x Quality Improvement Chance. Hero grade items have lower costs per upgrade. Premium items have different requirements for upgrading as compared to standard equipment, for instance, they might require fewer sowels but more minerals and erons. The player will still need to take every piece of equipment they want to upgrade to the NPC [ArmorBoboko. Boboko located in Central Flarine. Each equipment upgrade requires different amounts of the upgrade ingredients in addition to the cost mentioned above.
