15 Gifts For The Item Upgrading Lover In Your Life
World of Warcraft Upgrades and Item Upgrading
Upgrades can boost the value of armors, weapons and rings. Upgrades also boost bonuses like Crit chance and PvE Damage.
For example, a weapon with the upgrade template that is ending in % will take on 3damage to attack 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 level increases.
Components
Upgrade components can be added to trinkets, weapons and armor in order to provide them with a boost in stats or an extra effect. These can be obtained through crafting, purchasing from vendors trading or looting. Certain upgrades come with special cosmetic effects.
Upgrade components can be placed in equipment that has a slot to accommodate them. The item must be at a minimum upgraded to blue level for a component to be applied. Unlike other mods, upgrade components can only be used once and cannot be applied repeatedly or replaced by new upgrades. Infusions and Enrichments are kind of upgrade component that can be used to upgrade non-amulet legendary or ascended equipment, as well in some items that aren't ascended. Infusions and enrichments can be obtained by salvaging equipment from the ascended state or completing a quest in the Prophecies, Factions, and Nightfall campaigns.
A prefix or suffix may be added to an upgrade, which alters the name of the item it is applied to (for example 'Canthan Armor Insignia,' becomes Canthan Armor Minor Vigor). Some upgrades increase the Mark Rarity or Level of an item, which lets players to create stronger versions of the item using the smallest amount of Upgrade crystals than they require to reach the same level using standard methods.
A 'boost' upgrade can alter the attack or defense attributes of the weapon or armor. Once the player has completed the cutscene and defeated the Crazed Mechanist the upgrades can be crafted at the Portative Forging Station. They can be dropped by enemies while upgrading other gear, or by buying them from the cash store for 500 upgrade crystals per.
Each upgrade increases the probability that a better-quality version of the item will be available at the next reset. This gives the player an incentive to keep upgrading their gear even if they're not sure of how much it will increase after a future reset.
If a boost upgrade is successful or not, the process could be costly and there is a high risk that the item may be obsolete or even break if it fails; a failed upgrade will ruin the Upgrade Crystals and Assist Powder, as well as the upgraded item. This is alleviated by the availability cash shop items that can double or even eliminate the chance of failure, as well as a few upgrades that give a bonus when reinserted into an item.
Glyphs
Glyphs can be used to upgrade the Paragon Board by placing them in special sockets. Glyphs boost the effectiveness of all nodes in their radius as well as existing affixes on equipment. Glyphs can be upgraded various ways, and we recommend upgrading them to 15 levels as soon as you can.
In the final game you'll find that the best way to improve your gear is by placing Glyphs. They are the only upgrade component that can be upgraded directly to level 15 and offer significant boosts to your power and radius on the Paragon Board, enabling you to climb higher nodes faster.
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. The only exception is legendary equipment that requires the use of a Black Lion Salvage Kit to salvage and then re-install.
Each Glyph has a certain range of values can enhance a stat by. The value is shown when you select the Glyph in your inventory. You can replace it with an Glyph that is the same or higher rank to increase the value of the Glyph.
Glyphs are available in the Black Lion Trading Post as part of a Gem Store bundle or purchase the glyphs with certain tools that allow unlimited use as well as during Faction Crypt Raids. Each Faction Crypt could drop one of these Glyphs. There are also some rare glyphs which you can find in any of the Faction Crypts.
After you have acquired the desired Glyphs you will require them to be placed on your equipment. Each Glyph unlocks a special bonus that boosts the stats of a particular set of nodes that are within the radius of the Glyph. upgrade item will either be +40 for one of your primary stats or +25 for two of your secondary stats based on the Glyph.
Glyphs boost all nodes connected to them, therefore it is best to place Glyphs in strategic locations on the Graph. This will increase the impact. For instance, a 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 upgrade system for items lets players increase the stats of certain items by placing upgraded components into them. This is commonly known as "upping". Every upgradeable item is assigned a level which determines the final statistics. Upgraded items can be upgraded until they reach a maximum level of 385 ilvl. Each item level requires different components, and upgrade costs increase with each level.

Certain upgrades require a certain ingredient to activate. This ingredient is obtained by completing Upgrade Recipes. These recipes can be purchased from NPCs or on the upgrade tab of a crafting table. Each Upgrade Recipe completed will result in a certain amount of Technology points. These points can be used to level up the item, and when enough points have been earned, the upgrade can be claimed and its additional bonuses will be added to the item.
When a player improves the equipment they have it is replaced by a new item. The same armor will be upgraded to an weapon or shield when upgraded. The new item also has its own bonus. This could be a drawback in that it could make the item more expensive, even if you don't need it.
If the player has enough tokens, they can roll item upgrades. The item will be replaced by a brand new one that has a level 1 basis and totally different bonuses. This can be useful but it shouldn't be done often as it can waste resources.
Some upgrades can be rerolled multiple times to increase their value, giving players the ability to alter their gear. An excellent example is Dolphin's Gift, which gives an advantage when a player is repeatedly in and out of the water (or is able to swim like dolphins). This can be upgraded several times, each time raising the max roll by 10 points. This item is extremely useful in PvP. A properly rolled version could be worth as much as 50x the value of its unupgraded counterpart.
Requirements
The item upgrader allows players to increase the level of their equipment (armor weapons, weapons trinkets, and armor) above ilvl385 by presenting the appropriate currency to the NPC. The upgrade of armor set pieces will also boost the defense base of the item, and upgrading weapon items will increase the damage base as well as the required strength and dexterity to match the requirements of the upgraded equipment.
Each item can be upgraded up to five times, except for hero equipment, which is able to be upgraded eight times. Every time you upgrade an object, it is at risk 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 means that the player has to pay for more materials than if they had stopped upgrading after the maximum amount.
If an item isn't upgraded the experience bar in its growth bar will be reset to zero. The item will also lose any bonuses it earned like the chance to crit attack damage, additional effects (such as an increase in healing over time, or reloading speed). The player can continue to use their weapon or armor even after the failure.
If an item is upgraded, the upgrades are applied from the lowest to the highest. This means that when a weapon is upgraded, if it receives a crit chance boost, the increase will be applied prior to any damage to attack increases. Slots is a brand new attribute that was added to the definitions of items. The value is calculated every time an upgrade occurs.
The amount of resources needed to upgrade an item is determined on the rarity rating and number of upgrade slots. The upgrade cost for non-premium items is equal to the base value of the upgrade--for instance, a typical equipment item may have five upgrades with a cost of 25600 Technology Points 4x Quality Improvement Opportunity. Hero grade items are less expensive per upgrade.
Premium items may require different upgrades than standard gear. For example they might require fewer sowels, but more minerals and orons. The player will still need to bring each piece of gear they wish to upgrade to the NPC [Armor] Boboko located in Central Flarine. Each equipment upgrade requires different amounts of the ingredients needed to upgrade, in addition to the expenses that are listed above.
