World of Warcraft Upgrades and Item Upgrading Upgrades boost the value of certain numeric stats on armor, weapons and rings. Upgrades also increase bonuses such as Crit chance and damage from PvE. For instance, a weapon with the upgrade template that is ending in % will suffer an attack damage of 3% each time it is upgraded (relative to its previous value). Item upgrading costs crests and the item's current level. The cost increases as the item's level increases. Components Upgrade components are items that can be inserted into armor, weapons and trinkets to give an additional stat boost or impact while they're being used. They can be obtained through crafting, purchasing from vendors, trading with other players or looting. Some upgrades can also be accompanied by special cosmetic effects. Upgrade components can only be used on equipment that has a slot. The item must be at least upgraded to blue before the component can be applied. In item upgrading to other mods components can only be used one time; they can't be used multiple times or replaced with upgrades. Infusions and enrichments are a special kind of upgrade component that is used to upgrade non-amulet ascended or legendary equipment as well as the back items that are not ascending. Enrichments and Infusions can be obtained by salvaging ascended equipment or by completing a mission within the Prophecies, Factions, and Nightfall campaigns. An upgrade can be prefixed or a suffix, modifying the name of the equipment to the upgrade (for instancethe 'Canthan Armor Insignia' becomes Canthan Armor of Minor Vigor). Certain upgrades can increase the Mark Level or Rarity of an item, allowing players to create stronger versions of the item using fewer Upgrade crystals than they require to achieve the same level using normal methods. A boost upgrade can change the attack or defense attributes of the weapon or armor. Once the player has completed the cutscene and defeated Crazed Mechanist the upgrades can be created at the Portative Forging Station. item upgrader can be dropped by enemies while upgrading other gear or buying them from the cash store for 500 upgrade crystals per. The player is able to have the maximum of five boost upgrades at a time; each upgrade increases the probability that a higher-level version of the item will be available at the time of the next reset. This gives players an incentive to upgrade their equipment even when they're not sure what will be improved after an update. Whether a boost upgrade is successful or not, the process could be costly, and there is a high 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. Cash shop items can be used to decrease or eliminate the chance of failure. Some upgrades also offer a bonus if they are reinserted. Glyphs Glyphs can be used to enhance the Paragon Board by placing them in sockets with special functions. Glyphs boost the effectiveness of all nodes in their radius and include pre-existing affixes to equipment. Glyphs can be upgraded in a variety of ways, and we suggest getting them to level 15 as soon as you can. In the final game you'll often discover that the most effective way to upgrade your gear is by placing Glyphs. They are the only upgrade components 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 faster. Glyphs, which is the only upgrade component that can be removed without restriction and replaced again are the most popular. The only exception is legendary equipment that requires a Black Lion Salvage Kit to salvage and then re-install. The value of each Glyph is displayed when you select it in your inventory. You can decide to replace it with a Glyph with the same rank or higher rank, which will boost the value of the Glyph. There are 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. Each Faction Crypt has the possibility of dropping one of the various Glyphs as well as also a few rare glyphs to be found in the form of drops from any of the four Faction Crypts. Once you have gotten the desired Glyphs you'll require them to be placed on your equipment. Each Glyph unlocks a special bonus that boosts a specific set of stat nodes in a radius surrounding the Glyph. Depending 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 that are connected to them, so it is recommended to place Glyphs in the most important places on the Graph. This will maximize the impact. Druids, for example, should place their Glyphs close to their primary damage nodes. They might be able to place them near their primary damage nodes. Leveling The item upgrade system allows players to increase the power of certain items by adding upgraded components. This is often referred to as “upping”. Every upgradeable item has an amount that determines its final upgraded stats. Upgraded items can be leveled up to a maximum of 385. Each item level requires different components, and upgrade costs increase with each level. Certain upgrades require an ingredient to be activated. This ingredient is obtained by the completion of Upgrade Recipes. These recipes are available in the upgrade tab of a crafting table or purchased from some NPCs. Each completed Upgrade Recipe earns some Technology Points. These points can be used for the upgrading of an item. Once enough points are earned you'll be eligible to claim the upgrade and get its extra bonuses. When the player upgrades an item it is replaced with a different item of the same type. This means that the same armor piece will get an weapon or shield once upgraded. The new item also comes with its own set bonus. This can be a downside in that the item could be more expensive even if you don't need it. Upgrades to items can be rerolled if the player has enough tokens to be able to do this. This will cause the item to be exchanged for a new one, which will have an initial level and a totally different set of extra bonuses. This can be beneficial however it should not be repeated often since it could waste resources. Certain upgrades can increase their value and allow players to modify their gear. Dolphin's Gift is a good example, since it grants a buff if the player repeatedly enters or leaves the water. The item can be upgraded many times, increasing the maximum roll each time by 10 increments. This item is very useful in PvP. A well-rolled version could be worth 50 times the value of the non-upgraded version. Requirements The upgrader for items lets players increase the level of their equippable equipment (armor weapons, armor trinkets, and armor) beyond ilvl385 by handing over the appropriate currency to the NPC. Upgrading armor set pieces will also boost the defense base of the item, and upgrading weapons will increase the base damage and required strength and dexterity to match the requirements of the upgraded equipment. All items can be upgraded a maximum of five times, except for hero gear which can have eight upgrades. Every time you upgrade a piece of equipment, it has a chance of failing. The rate of failure increases as you move beyond the maximum number. Failures will cause the item to go back to its original state, requiring the player to pay more for materials than they would had they stopped upgrading at the highest number of upgrades. If an item isn't upgraded the experience bar in the bar for growth will be reset to zero. The item also loses any bonuses it has gained like the chance to crit, attack damage, or other effects (such as increased heal over time or the speed of reloading). However, the player can continue to use the weapon or armor following the failure. Whenever an item is upgraded, the upgrades are applied from the lowest to the 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 new attribute that has been added to item definitions. The value is calculated each time an upgrade occurs. The amount of resources required to upgrade an item is based on the rarity rating as well as the number of upgrade slots. The cost of upgrading equipment that is not premium is equal to its base value. For example an item that is commonplace could have five upgrades for a price of. 25,600 Technology Points and a 4x Quality Improvement Chance—whereas hero grade items will come with the lowest cost for each additional upgrade. Premium items might have different upgrade requirements than standard gear. For instance, they may need less sowels, but they will require more minerals and orons. The player will need to carry every piece of equipment they want to upgrade to the NPC [ArmorBoboko. Boboko located in Central Flarine. Each upgrade to equipment requires different amounts of the ingredients for upgrading, in addition to the costs that are listed above.
