World of Warcraft Upgrades and Item Upgrading Upgrades increase the value of certain numeric stats on weapons, armor and rings. Upgrades also increase bonuses such as Crit chance and PvE Damage. If the template for upgrading a weapon ends in %, it will gain 3percent of its previous damage for every time it's upgraded. The cost of upgrading an item increases as it reaches the current level of the item. The cost increases as the item's level rises. Components Upgrade components are items that can be put into armor, weapons and trinkets to give an additional stat boost or impact while they're being used. They can be obtained through crafting, buying from vendors or trading with other players, or looting. Some upgrades can also be accompanied by specific cosmetic effects. Upgrade components are only available to devices that have slots. The item must be upgraded to blue level before a component can be applied. Upgrade components, unlike other modifications, can only be applied only once. They cannot be replaced or applied multiple times. Infusions and Enrichments are a type of upgrade component that can be used to upgrade non-amulet legendary or Ascended equipment, as well as some non-ascended items. Infusions and enrichments are recovered by salvaging gear that is ascended or completing an elite task in the Prophecies, Factions and Nightfall campaigns. An upgrade may be prefixed or a suffix that alters the name of the item to which it is used (for instance 'Canthan Armor Insignia is changed to Canthan Armor of Minor Vigor). item upgrades increase an item's Mark Level, or Rarity, allowing players create stronger versions of that equipment with the smallest amount of Upgrade Crystals than are required to reach the same level of upgrade using normal methods. A boost upgrade can alter the attack or defence characteristics of a weapon, or armor. Once the player has completed the cutscene and defeated Crazed Mechanist These upgrades can be created at the Portative Forging Station. They can be dropped by enemies when upgrading other gear or by buying them from the cash shop for 500 upgrade crystals per. Each upgrade increases the chance that a better-quality version of the item will be revealed during the next reset. This gives players an incentive to upgrade their equipment even if they are unsure what will be improved after an update. The boost upgrade may be successful or not, the process can be costly, and there is a substantial possibility that the item will become obsolete or even break if it fails; a failure to upgrade can destroy Upgrade Crystals and Assist Powder, as well as the upgraded item. This is mitigated by the availability of cash shop items that double or even eliminate the possibility of failure, as well as some upgrades that offer the benefit of being reinserted into an item. Glyphs Glyphs can be used to enhance the Paragon Board by placing them in special sockets. Glyphs boost the effectiveness of all nodes in the area around them, including pre-existing affixes on equipment. Glyphs can be upgraded in numerous ways. We suggest upgrading them as soon as possible to level 15. You will often find in the endgame that putting Glyphs is a great method to upgrade your gear. They are the only upgrade component that can be upgraded directly to level 15 and offer a large boost to your power and radius on the Paragon Board, enabling you to get higher nodes more quickly. Glyphs, the only upgrade component which can be removed without restriction and then replaced with no restrictions, are the most common. The only exception is legendary equipment, which requires the use of a Black Lion Salvage Kit to salvage and replace. Each Glyph has a certain range of values it can improve a statistic by. The value is displayed when you select the Glyph in your inventory. You can replace it with an 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 an Gem Store purchase or bundle with certain gathering tools that are unlimited-use, and through Faction Crypt raids. Every Faction Crypt has a chance to drop one of the many Glyphs and there are some rare glyphs to be found as drops from any of the four Faction Crypts. After you have acquired the desired Glyphs you'll need them to be placed on your gear. Each Glyph will grant a distinct bonus that will boost the stats of a specific set of nodes that are within a radius of the Glyph. Based on the Glyph the bonus will be +40 to one of your primary stats, or +25 to two of your secondary stats. Glyphs boost all nodes connected to them, so it is recommended to place Glyphs in key places on the Graph. This will maximize the impact. Druids, for instance should position their Glyphs close to their primary damage nodes. They might also want to consider placing them near their critical damage nodes. Leveling The system of upgrading items lets players increase the performance of specific items by putting upgraded components in them. This is commonly known as “upping”. Each upgradeable item is assigned a level that determines the final stats. Upgraded items can be leveled up to a maximum level of 385. Each item level requires a different amount of components, and the upgrade costs increase as the item is advanced in level. Certain upgrades require an ingredient to be activated. This ingredient is obtained by completing Upgrade Recipes. These recipes can be bought from NPCs, or on the upgrade tab of the crafting table. Each Upgrade Recipe completed will result in a certain amount of Technology points. These points can be used to leveling up an item. When enough points have been earned you will be eligible to claim the upgrade and get its extra bonuses. When a player upgrades an item it is replaced with a different item of the same type. The same armor will receive an weapon or shield when upgraded. The new item also has its own set bonus. This could be a drawback since the item may become more expensive even if you do not need it. Upgrades to items can be rerolled, provided that the player has enough tokens to do this. This causes the item to be exchanged for a new one, which will have the level 1 base, and a different set of extra bonuses. This can be useful however it should not be used frequently as it can waste resources. Certain upgrades can boost their value and allow players to personalize their equipment. One example is Dolphin's Gift, which gives an advantage when a player is repeatedly in and out of the water (or swims like dolphins). The item can be upgraded multiple times and increases the maximum roll each time by 10 increments. This item is highly valuable in PvP. A well-rolled version can be worth as much as 50x the value of the unupgraded counterpart. Requirements The item upgrader lets players increase the level of their equippable equipment (armor weapons, weapons trinkets, and weapons) beyond ilvl385 by handing over the appropriate currency to the NPC. Upgrades to armor set pieces also boost the defense of the base set, while upgrades to weapon items boost their base damage as well as the required strength and dexterity. Each item can be upgraded up to five times, with the exception for hero equipment, which can be upgraded eight times. Each when you upgrade an item it is given a chance to fail—the rate of failure increases as you go beyond the maximum number of upgrades. Failures can result in the item returning to its original state, which requires the player to pay for more materials than if they had stopped upgrading after the maximum number. If an item is not able to upgrade the amount of experience in its growth bar is reset to zero. In addition the item will be deducted any bonuses it gained such as crit chance and attack damage, as well as any additional effects associated with the effect (for instance, a higher healing over time or reload speed). However, the player can still continue to use the weapon or armor after the failure. When an item is upgraded, the upgrades are applied from the lowest to highest. This means that if a weapon increases its crit chance, the increase will be applied before any damage to attack increases. A new attribute known as Slots has been added to the item definition and the value is recomputed each time an upgrade is applied. The amount of resources needed to upgrade an item is determined on the rarity rating as well as the number of upgrade slots. The cost for upgrading non-premium items is equal to the base value of the upgrade—for instance, a standard equipment item may have five upgrades, each costing 25600 Technology Points 4x Quality Improvement Chance. Hero grade items are less expensive per upgrade. Premium items have different upgrade requirements than standard gear—for instance, they may require fewer sowels, but they will require more minerals and erons. The player will still need to carry each piece of gear they wish to upgrade to NPC [ArmorBoboko. Boboko located in Central Flarine. In addition to the upgrade cost mentioned above, each upgrade requires a different amount of the ingredients needed to upgrade.
