World of Warcraft Upgrades and Item Upgrading Upgrades can boost the value of certain numeric statistics on armor, weapons and rings. They also increase bonuses such as damage from PvE and crit chance. If the template for upgrading a weapon ends in %, it will be able to gain 3% of its previous damage every time it is upgraded. 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 weapons, armor and trinkets to give them a boost in stats or an extra effect. They can be obtained through crafting, purchasing from vendors or trading with other players, or looting. Certain upgrades come with special 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 used. In contrast to other mods components can only be used once and can't be used multiple times or replaced with upgrades. Infusions and Enrichments are a kind of upgrade component that is used to upgrade non-amulet legendary and ascended equipment, as well in some items that aren't ascended. Infusions and enrichments can be retrieved by salvaging ascended gear or completing an elite task in the Prophecies, Factions and Nightfall campaigns. An upgrade may include a suffix or prefix that alters the name of the equipment to which it is used (for examplefor example 'Canthan Armor Insignia' becomes Canthan Armor of Minor Vigor). Certain upgrades boost an item's Mark Level or Rarity, which allows players to create stronger versions of that equipment using less Upgrade Crystals than is required to reach the same upgrade level 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 Crazed Mechanist the upgrades can be made 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. Each upgrade increases the likelihood that a better-quality version of an item will be available at the next reset. This gives players an incentive to upgrade their gear even if they are unsure how much it will be improved after an update. The process of upgrading an item can be expensive and it's possible that the item will become obsolete, or even break, when the upgrade is unsuccessful. Upgrade Crystals and assist powders are also destroyed when the upgrade fails. Cash shop items can be used to minimize or eliminate the risk of failure. Some upgrades also offer an additional bonus when reinserted. Glyphs Glyphs can be used to upgrade the Paragon Board by placing them in sockets that are specifically designed for. Glyphs buff the power of all nodes in a radius around them as well as existing affixes on equipment. Glyphs are upgraded in many ways, and we suggest upgrading them to 15 levels whenever you can. In the endgame you'll find that the best way to improve your gear is by placing Glyphs. They are the only upgrade components that can be upgraded straight 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. Most of the upgrades in the game can be replaced, but Glyphs are the only upgrade component that can be removed and replaced without restrictions. Only legendary equipment can be salvaged and replaced by using the help of a Black Lion Salvage Kit. The value of each Glyph is displayed when you choose it in your inventory. You can replace it with an Glyph that is the same or higher rank to increase the value of the Glyph. You can find Glyphs in the Black Lion Trading Post, as part of a 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 various Glyphs as well as also a few rare glyphs that can be obtained as drops from any of the four Faction Crypts. After you have acquired the desired Glyphs you will need them to be placed on your gear. Each Glyph unlocks a special bonus that will boost the stats of a particular set of nodes in a radius surrounding 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. Utilizing Glyphs Glyph can boost all nodes that are linked to it, so you should aim to place your Glyphs near key nodes on the Graph to maximize the impact. For instance an Druid should try to place their Glyphs close to their primary damage nodes but you should also think about placing them near crucial damage nodes too. Leveling The item upgrading system lets players increase the stats of specific items by putting upgraded components inside them. This is often referred to as “upping”. Every upgradeable item has a level that determines its final upgraded stats. Upgraded items may be leveled to a maximum of ilvl 385. Each item level requires different components, and the cost of upgrading increase with each level. Some upgrades require a special ingredient to activate. This ingredient is obtained by finishing Upgrade Recipes. These recipes can be purchased from NPCs or found on the upgrade tab in a crafting table. Each completed Upgrade Recipe earns several Technology Points. These points can be used to level up the item, and once enough points are earned, the upgrade can be claimed and its additional bonuses will be added to the item. When the player upgrades an item it is replaced by a new item of the same type. This means that the same armor piece will become an weapon or shield once upgraded. The new item comes with its own bonus. This could be a problem in that it could make the item more expensive if you don't need it. The upgrades to items can be rerolled, if the player has enough reroll tokens to be able to do so. This will cause the item to be traded for a new one, which will come with an initial level and a different set of bonuses. This is useful for certain items, however it's not something that should be repeated often, as it can use up lots of resources. Certain upgrades can boost their value and allow players to personalize their gear. Dolphin's Gift is a good example, since it grants a buff if the player is repeatedly in or exits water. It is possible to upgrade it several times, each time raising the maximum roll by an increment of 10. This item is extremely important in PvP. A properly rolled version could be worth as much as 50x the value of its non-upgraded counterpart. Requirements The upgrader for items allows players to increase the level of their equipment (armor weapons, weapons trinkets, and weapons) beyond ilvl385 by handing over 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. Each item can be upgraded up to five times except for hero gear, which can be upgraded eight times. Each time you upgrade an object it has a chance of failing. The rate of failure increases as you move beyond the maximum number. Failures can result in the item returning to its initial 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 its growth bar will be reset to zero. Additionally the item will be deducted any gained bonuses such as crit chance, attack damage, as well as all additional effects associated with that effect (for instance, an increase in 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 the highest. This means that, if a weapon gains an increase in the chance of crit it will be applied before any increase in attack damage. A new attribute known as Slots is now added to the item's definition and the value is recomputed every time an upgrade is made. The amount of resources required to upgrade an item is based on its rarity rating and the number of upgrade slots. The cost of 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 25,600 Technology Points and 4x Quality Improvement Chance—whereas hero grade items will come with an incredibly lower cost for each additional upgrade. Premium items could have different upgrade requirements than normal equipment. For instance they might require less sowels, however they may require 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. In addition to the upgrade costs mentioned above, each upgrade will require a different amount of the upgrade ingredients.
