World of Warcraft Upgrades and Item Upgrading Upgrades increase the value of certain numeric stats on weapons, armor and rings. Upgrades can also boost bonuses like Crit chance and PvE Damage. For example a weapon that has the upgrade template that is ending in % will suffer 3% attack damage every time it upgrades (relative to its previous value). The cost of upgrading an item increases as it reaches the item's current level. The cost increases as the item level increases. Components Upgrade components are items that can be slotted into weapons, armor, and trinkets in order to provide a stat bonus or extra effect when they're used. These can be obtained by crafting, buying from vendors, trading with other players, or looting. Certain upgrades have unique cosmetic effects. Upgrade components can only be applied to equipment with a slot. The item must be upgraded to blue level before the component can be applied. Like other mods, upgrade components can only be used once and cannot be applied repeatedly or replaced by new upgrades. Infusions and enrichments are a special type of upgrade component used for non-amulet ascended and legendary equipment and some of the back items that are not ascending. Infusions and Enrichments can be obtained by salvaging ascended equipment or completing a mission in the Prophecies, Factions, and Nightfall campaigns. An upgrade can be prefixed or a suffix changing the name of the equipment to which it is used (for instancethe 'Canthan Armor Insignia' becomes Canthan Armor of Minor Vigor). Some upgrades increase the Mark Level or Rarity of an item, which lets players to create stronger versions of the item using the smallest amount of Upgrade crystals than they would need to reach the same level with normal methods. A boost upgrade is a way to alter the defense or attack characteristics of a weapon or armor. After the player has completed the cutscene and defeated the Crazed Mechanist the upgrades can be created at the Portative Forging Station. These upgrades are available for purchase them in the cash shop, or by obtaining them from enemies when upgrading other gear. The player is able to have a maximum of five boost upgrades at a time. Each upgrade increases the probability that a higher-tier version of the item will appear during the next reset. This gives players an incentive to upgrade their gear even when they're not sure what will be improved following a reset. The process of upgrading an item can be expensive, and it is possible that the item will be obsolete, or even break, when the upgrade is unsuccessful. Upgrade Crystals and assist powders are also destroyed when an upgrade fails. This is mitigated by the availability of cash shop items to double or even eliminate possibility of failure, as well as a few upgrades that give the benefit of being reinserted into an item. Glyphs Glyphs are upgrade parts that can be inserted into special sockets on the Paragon Board. Glyphs increase the power of nodes within a radius, including any pre-existing affixes. Glyphs are upgraded in many ways. We recommend upgrading them as quickly as possible to level 15. You'll often see in the final game that placing Glyphs is a great method to upgrade your gear. They are the only upgrade component that can be upgraded straight to level 15 and provide an enormous boost to your power and radius on the Paragon Board, enabling you to get higher nodes faster. Glyphs, which is the only upgrade component which can be removed without restriction and replaced again are the most popular. Only legendary equipment can be salvaged and rebuilt using the aid of a Black Lion Salvage Kit. Each Glyph has a particular range of values it can improve a stat by, and the value is shown when you choose the Glyph in your inventory. You can choose to replace it with a different Glyph of the same rank, or a higher rank, which will boost the overall value of the glyph. Glyphs are available in the Black Lion Trading Post as part of an Gem Store bundle or purchase the glyphs with certain tools that allow unlimited use as well as during Faction Crypt Raids. Each Faction Crypt will drop one of these Glyphs. There are also some rare glyphs that you can find in any of the Faction Crypts. Once you have gotten the desired Glyphs you will require them to be put on your equipment. Each Glyph unlocks a bonus which will boost the stats of a specific set of 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. Glyphs will boost all nodes connected to them, therefore it is recommended to place Glyphs in strategic locations on the Graph. This will increase the impact. Druids for instance should position their Glyphs close to their primary damage nodes. They might be able to place them near their most critical damage nodes. Leveling The item upgrading system allows players to improve the stats of certain items by placing upgraded components inside them. item upgrade is referred to as “upping”. Each upgradeable item comes with a level, which determines its final upgraded stats. Upgraded items are able to be leveled up to a maximum level of ilvl 385. Each level requires a different amount of components to reach and the costs for upgrading increase as the item gets leveled up. Certain upgrades require a specific ingredient to activate. This ingredient is obtained by completing Upgrade Recipes. These recipes can be purchased from NPCs or on the upgrade tab in the crafting table. Each Upgrade Recipe that is completed earns a number of Technology Points. These points can be used to upgrade the item. Once enough points are earned, the upgrade will be claimed and its additional bonuses will be added to the item. When the player upgrades an item to a higher level, the original item is replaced by a new item of the same kind. The same armor will be upgraded to a weapon or a shield when upgraded. The new item also has its own bonus. This could be a drawback since the item may be more expensive even if you do not require it. Upgrades to items can be rerolled, provided that the player has enough tokens to do so. The item will be replaced with the same item, but it is based on a level 1 base and completely different bonuses. This is a good option for certain items, but it shouldn't be done regularly, as it can use up many resources. Some upgrades can increase their value and allow players to personalize their equipment. Dolphin's Gift is a good example, since it grants a buff if the player repeatedly enters or exits water. This can be upgraded several times, each time raising the maximum roll by 10 points. This item is extremely valuable in PvP, as a perfectly rolled version of it can be worth between 20 and 50 times its value if it is not upgraded. Requirements The upgrader for items lets players increase the level of their equippable equipment (armor weapons, weapons trinkets, and weapons) above ilvl385 by presenting the appropriate currency to the NPC. Upgrades to armor set pieces also improve the strength of their base defense and upgrades to weapon items increase the damage they deal as well as the required strength and dexterity. All items can be upgraded up to five times, with the exception for hero equipment, which can be upgraded eight times. Every time you upgrade an object it has a chance of failing. The probability of failure increases as you go over the maximum number. Failures can cause the item to return to its original state, which requires the player to purchase more materials than if they had stopped upgrading after the maximum number. If an item fails to upgrade, the amount of accumulated experience in its growth bar is reset to zero. Additionally the item will be deducted any bonuses it gained such as crit chance, attack damage, and all additional effects associated with the effect (for example, increased heal over time or speed of reload). However, the user can continue to use the weapon or armor after the failure. When an item is upgraded the upgrades are applied from lowest to highest. This means that, should a weapon gain an increase in crit chance it will be applied prior to any increase in attack damage. Slots is a brand-new attribute that has been added to item definitions. The value is calculated each time an upgrade occurs. The amount of resources needed to upgrade an item are based on its rarity rating and the number of upgrade slots. The cost for upgrading non-premium products is equal to the base value of the upgrade. For instance, a typical equipment item might have 5 upgrades with a cost of 25,600 Technology Points and 4x Quality Improvement Chance. Hero grade items will come with a much lower cost for each 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. Whatever the case, players must visit the NPC [Armorthe ] Boboko in Central Flarine with each piece of equipment they want to upgrade. In addition to the upgrade cost mentioned above, each upgrade requires the use of different ingredients needed to upgrade.
