The 10 Most Scariest Things About Item Upgrading

World of Warcraft Upgrades and item upgrader Upgrading

Upgrades increase the value of certain numeric stats on armor, weapons and rings. They also boost extra bonuses, such as crit chance and PvE damage.

For example an item with the upgrade template ending in % will gain 3damage to attack each time it upgrades (relative to its previous value).

Item upgrading costs crests and the item's current level. The cost increases with the item's level.

Components

Upgrade components can be added to weapons, armor and trinkets in order to give them a boost in stats or an extra effect. They can be obtained through making crafts, buying from vendors, trading with other players, or looting. Certain upgrades have unique cosmetic effects.

Upgrade components can only be applied to equipment that has a slot. The item must be at least upgraded to blue before a component can be used. Upgrade components, unlike other mods, can only be applied only once. They are not able to be replaced or applied multiple times. Infusions and Enrichments are type of upgrade component that can be used to upgrade non-amulet legendary and ascending equipment, as other items that are not ascended. Infusions and Enrichments can be obtained by salvaging equipment that is ascended or completing a quest in the Prophecies, Factions, and Nightfall campaigns.

A suffix or prefix can be added to an upgrade, changing the name of the item upgrader kit it is applied to (for example, 'Canthan Armor Insignia,' becomes Canthan Armor Minor Vigor). Some upgrades increase the Mark Level or Rarity, which allows players to create stronger versions of the equipment using fewer Upgrade Crystals than is required to achieve the same level of upgrade through normal methods.

A boost upgrade can alter the attack or defence attributes of the weapon or armor. Once the player has completed the cutscene and defeated the Crazed Mechanist These upgrades can be created at the Portative Forging Station. These upgrades can be purchased by purchasing them from the cash shop or by collecting them from enemies when upgrading other equipment.

Each upgrade increases the probability that a better-quality version of the item will be dropped at the next reset. This gives the player some incentive to keep improving their equipment even if they're uncertain of how much they'll increase after a future reset.

If a boost upgrade is successful or not, the process may be costly and there is a high possibility that the item will be obsolete or even break if it fails; a failed upgrade will destroy Upgrade Crystals and Assist Powder as well as the upgraded item. Cash shop items can be used to minimize or eliminate the possibility of failure. Some upgrades also offer a bonus if reinserted.

Glyphs

Glyphs can be used to improve the Paragon Board by placing them in sockets with special functions. Glyphs boost the power of all nodes within a radius around them, including pre-existing affixes on equipment. Glyphs are upgraded in many ways, and we recommend upgrading them to 15 levels as soon as you can.

In the endgame you'll often discover that the best way to enhance your gear is to place Glyphs. These are the only upgrade component which can be upgraded to level 15 and offer a significant boost to your power on the Paragon Board.

The majority of upgrades in the game can be replaced but Glyphs are the only upgrade component that can be removed and re-placed without restriction. Only legendary equipment can be salvaged and rebuilt by using the help of a Black Lion Salvage Kit.

Each Glyph has a particular range of values that it can improve a statistic by, and the value is displayed when you select the Glyph in your inventory. You can choose to replace it with a 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, with certain unlimited-use tools as well as during Faction Crypt Raids. Every Faction Crypt could drop one of these Glyphs. There are also some rare glyphs that you can find in any of the Faction Crypts.

After you have acquired the desired Glyphs you'll require them to be placed on your gear. Each Glyph unlocks a special bonus that boosts a specific set of stat nodes in a radius surrounding 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.

The use of a Glyph can boost all nodes that are connected to it, so you should aim to place your Glyphs near the most important nodes of the Graph to maximize the impact. For instance, a Druid should aim to place their Glyphs near their primary damage points, but also consider placing them near critical damage nodes too.

Leveling

The item upgrading system lets players increase the effectiveness of certain items by placing upgraded components inside them. This is often referred to as "upping". Each upgradeable item has a level that determines the final statistics. Upgraded items can be leveled until they reach a maximum level of ilvl 385. Each level of item requires various components, and the cost of upgrading increase with each level.

Certain upgrades require an ingredient to be activated. This ingredient can be obtained by making Upgrade Recipes. These recipes are available in the upgrade tab of a crafting table or obtained from NPCs. Each completed Upgrade Recipe earns a number of Technology Points. These points can be used to upgrade the item upgrade, and when enough points have been earned, the upgrade can be claimed and any additional bonuses will be added to the item.

When a player upgrades an item it is replaced with a different item of the same kind. The same armor can be transformed into an weapon or shield when upgraded. The new item will also have a unique bonus. This could be a drawback because it can cause the item to become more expensive if you do not require it.

If the player has enough tokens they can roll item upgrades. The item will be replaced with the same item, but it has a level 1 basis and completely different bonuses. This is useful for certain items, but it shouldn't be done regularly, as it can waste many resources.

Some upgrades can increase their value and allow players to modify their equipment. Dolphin's Gift is a good example, as it provides a buff if the player is repeatedly in or exits the water. This item can be upgraded many times and increases the maximum roll every time by 10 increments. This item can be very valuable in PvP as a perfectly rolled version of it can be worth between 20 and 50x its value without being upgraded.

Requirements

Item upgrading allows players to upgrade the level of their available gear--armor, weapons and trinkets over ilvl 385 by offering the appropriate items and currency to an item upgrader NPC. Upgrades to armor set pieces also increase its base defense and upgrades to weapon items increase their base damage as well as the required strength and dexterity.

Each item can be upgraded a maximum of five times, with the exception of hero gear that can be upgraded with eight upgrades. Each time you upgrade a piece of equipment, it is at risk of failing. The failure rate increases as you go over the maximum number. Failures will cause the item to return to its original state, which requires the player to pay for more materials than if they had stopped upgrading after the maximum amount.

If an item is not upgraded, the experience bar in the bar for growth will be reset to zero. In addition, the item will lose any bonus it earned such as crit chance and attack damage, and all additional effects associated with the effect (for example, increased heal over time or speed of reload). The player is able to use their weapon or armor even after the failure.

If an item is upgraded the upgrades are applied in order from lowest to highest. This means that, if a weapon gains an increase in its crit chance the increase is applied before any increase in attack damage. Slots is a brand new attribute that has been added to item definitions. The value is recalculated every time an upgrade occurs.

The amount of resources required to upgrade an item are dependent on its rarity score 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 may have five 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 may require different upgrades than regular gear. For instance they might require less sowels, but they will require more minerals and orons. The player will need to take every piece of equipment they wish to upgrade to NPC [Armor] Boboko located in Central Flarine. In addition to the upgrade cost mentioned above, each equipment upgrade will require a different amount of the ingredients needed to upgrade.
