World of Warcraft Upgrades and Item Upgrading Upgrades can boost the value of weapons, armors and rings. They also increase bonuses like crit chance and PvE damage. For example an item with the upgrade template that ends in % will take on 3% attack damage every time it is upgraded (relative to its previous value). The cost of upgrading an item is determined by the item's level. The cost rises with item's level. Components Upgrade components can be added to trinkets, armor, and weapons in order to give them a boost in stats or to add an additional effect. They can be obtained by crafting, purchasing from vendors trading, or looting. Certain upgrades come with special cosmetic effects. Upgrade components can only be applied to equipment that has a slot. The item must be upgraded to blue level before the component can be applied. Unlike other mods, upgrade components can only be used once and cannot be applied repeatedly or replaced with new upgrades. 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 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',' changes to Canthan Armor Minor Vigor). Certain upgrades boost the Mark Level or Rarity, allowing players to make stronger versions of the equipment with fewer Upgrade Crystals than are required to reach the same upgrade level through normal methods. A 'boost' upgrade can change the attack or defence characteristics of a weapon, or armor. After the player has completed the cutscene and defeated Crazed Mechanist the upgrades can be crafted at the Portative Forging Station. These upgrades can be purchased by purchasing them in the cash shop or by collecting them from enemies when upgrading other equipment. The player can get a maximum of five boost upgrades at a time. Each upgrade increases the chance that a higher-tier version of the item will be available during the next reset. This gives players a reason to upgrade their equipment even when they're not sure what can be improved upon the reset. If a boost upgrade is successful or not, the process could be expensive, and there is a significant risk that the item may become obsolete or even break when it fails. A failed upgrade will cause the destruction of the Upgrade Crystals and Assist Powder, as well as the upgraded item. This is mitigated by the availability of cash shop items that can double or even eliminate chance of failure, and a few upgrades that give an additional benefit when they are inserted into an item. Glyphs Glyphs are upgrade components that can be placed in special sockets on the Paragon Board. Glyphs boost the power of all nodes in their radius and include pre-existing affixes to equipment. Glyphs are upgraded in many ways, and we suggest getting them to level 15 as soon as you can. In the endgame you'll find that the best way to enhance your gear is by placing Glyphs. These are the only upgrade component that can be upgraded to level 15 and provide a significant boost to your power on the Paragon Board. The majority of upgrades in the game can be replaced however, Glyphs are only the one upgrade component that can be removed and replaced without restrictions. Only legendary equipment can be salvaged and replaced with the help of a Black Lion Salvage Kit. Each Glyph has a certain range of values it can improve a stat by, and the value is shown when you select the Glyph in your inventory. You can decide to replace it with another Glyph of the same rank or higher rank, which will increase the overall 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. Every Faction Crypt has the chance of dropping one of the various Glyphs as well as also a few rare glyphs to be obtained as drops from any of the four Faction Crypts. Once you have the desired Glyphs, you will have to attach them to your gear. Each Glyph will grant a distinct bonus that will boost a particular set of stat nodes within a radius around the Glyph. Depending on the Glyph the bonus will be +40 to one of your primary stats or +25 to two of your secondary stats. Glyphs will boost all nodes connected to them, so it is best to place Glyphs in key locations on the Graph. This will increase the impact. For example an Druid should aim to place their Glyphs close to their primary damage nodes, but also be sure to place them near the most critical damage nodes too. Leveling The item upgrading system allows players to improve the stats of certain items by placing upgraded components into them. This is also known as “upping”. Each upgradeable item has an amount, which determines its final upgraded stats. Upgraded items can be upgraded up to a maximum of 385 ilvl. Each level requires a different amount of components and the costs for upgrading increase as the item gets advanced in level. Certain upgrades require an ingredient to be activated. This ingredient can be obtained by completing Upgrade Recipes. These recipes are available in the upgrade tab of a crafting table, or bought from NPCs. Each Upgrade Recipe that is completed will result in a certain amount of Technology points. These points can be used to upgrade the item. Once enough are earned, the upgrade will be claimed and its additional bonuses will be added to the item. When a player upgrade an item, the base item is replaced by the new item. The same armor will be upgraded to the form of a weapon or shield when upgraded. The new item will have a unique bonus. This could be a problem in that it could make the item more expensive, even if you don't require it. Item upgrades can sometimes be rerolled if the player has enough tokens to do this. This causes the item to be exchanged for a brand new one, which will have an initial level and a totally different set of bonus bonuses. This can be useful, but should not be used frequently as it can be a waste of resources. Some upgrades can be rerolled multiple times to increase their value, giving players the ability to alter their gear. Dolphin's Gift is a good example, as it gives a buff if the player repeatedly enters or exits water. The item can be upgraded multiple times, increasing the maximum roll every time by 10 increments. This item is extremely important in PvP. A well-rolled version can be worth up to 50x the value of its non-upgraded version. Requirements Item upgrading allows players to upgrade the level of their available gear—armor, weapons and trinkets that are above ilvl 385 by providing the appropriate currency and items to an item upgrader NPC. Upgrading armor set pieces will also boost the defense base of the piece, whereas upgrading weapons will increase the base damage as well as the required strength and dexterity to match the requirements of the upgraded equipment. Each item can be upgraded a maximum of five times, except for hero gear, which can be upgraded with eight upgrades. Every when you upgrade an item, it is given a chance to fail—the failure rate increases the more you go over the maximum number of upgrades. Failures will result in the item reverting to its original condition, which requires the user to spend more materials than they would had they stopped upgrading at the maximum amount of upgrades. If an item isn't upgraded, the experience bar in the bar for growth will be reset to zero. The item will also lose any bonuses it gained, such as the chance to crit, attack damage, or other effects (such as an increase in healing over time or reloading speed). However, the player can continue to use the weapon or armor following the failure. When an item is upgraded the upgrades are applied from the lowest to highest. This means that if a weapon receives a crit chance boost, the increase will be applied before any damage to attack increases. Slots is a brand new attribute that was added to item definitions. The value is recalculated each time an upgrade occurs. The amount of resources needed to upgrade an item is based on the rarity rating and number of upgrade slots. The cost of upgrading non-premium equipment is equal to its value. For instance an item that is commonplace could have five upgrades at a cost of. 25600 Technology Points, 4x Quality Improvement Chance. Hero quality items have lower costs per upgrade. Premium items could require different upgrades than regular gear. For instance, they may need fewer sowels, but more minerals and orons. Regardless, the player will need to visit the NPC [ArmorBoboko in Central Flarine. Boboko in Central Flarine with each piece of equipment they want to upgrade. Each equipment upgrade requires different amounts of the upgrade ingredients in addition to the costs mentioned above.
