World of Warcraft Upgrades and item upgrading (official Pediascape blog)

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

For instance an item with the upgrade template that is ending in % will gain 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 with the item's level.

Components

Upgrade components are items that can be put into weapons, armor, and trinkets to give an additional stat boost or impact while they're being used. These can be obtained through crafting, purchasing from vendors trading, or looting. Certain upgrades have unique cosmetic effects.

Upgrade components can only be used on equipment with a slot. The Best item upgrade must be upgraded to blue level before a 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 new 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 non-ascended back items. Infusions and enrichments can be retrieved by salvaging gear from the ascended, or completing an elite task in the Prophecies, Factions and Nightfall campaigns.

A prefix or suffix can be added to an upgrade, which alters the name of the item it's applied to (for example 'Canthan Armor Insignia,' is changed to Canthan Armor Minor Vigor). Certain upgrades boost an item's Mark Level, or Rarity, allowing players make stronger versions of the equipment using the smallest amount of Upgrade Crystals than are required to reach the same level of upgrade using normal methods.

A boost upgrade is a way to alter the defense or attack properties of a weapon, or armor. Once the player has completed the cutscene and defeated the Crazed Mechanist, these upgrades can be made at the Portative Forging Station. They can also be dropped by enemies when upgrading other gear or by purchasing them in the cash shop for 500 upgrade crystals per.

Each upgrade increases the probability that a higher-tier version of an item will be dropped in the next reset. This gives players an incentive to upgrade their equipment even if they are unsure what can be improved upon a reset.

If a boost upgrade is successful or not, the process may be costly, and there is a substantial possibility that the item will become obsolete or even break when it fails. A failed upgrade will destroy the Upgrade Crystals and Assist Powder, as well as the upgraded item. Cash shop items can be used to minimize or eliminate the chance of failure. Some upgrades also give the player a bonus if they are they are 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 and include pre-existing affixes to equipment. Glyphs are upgraded in various ways, and we suggest getting them up to level 15 whenever you can.

It is commonplace to see in the endgame that putting Glyphs is the most effective way to upgrade your equipment. They are the only upgrade component 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 reach higher nodes more quickly.

Glyphs, the only upgrade component which can be removed without restriction and replaced with no restrictions are the most commonly used. The only exception is legendary equipment that requires the use of a Black Lion Salvage Kit to salvage and re-place.

Each Glyph has a certain range of values it can improve a stat by. The value is displayed when you select the Glyph in your inventory. You can replace it with a Glyph that is of the same or higher rank to boost the value of the Glyph.

Glyphs can be found 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 some rare glyphs you can find in any of the Faction Crypts.

Once you have the desired Glyphs You will have to put them on your gear. Each Glyph will grant a distinct bonus that will boost a particular set of stat nodes that are within a radius of 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.

Glyphs boost all nodes that are connected to them, therefore it is recommended to place Glyphs in the most important places 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 critical damage nodes.

Leveling

The item upgrading system allows players to increase the performance of specific items by putting upgraded components into them. This is also known as "upping". Each upgradeable item is assigned an amount that determines the final statistics. Upgraded items can be upgraded up to a maximum of 385. Each item level requires a different amount of components and the costs for upgrading increase as the item gets upgraded.

Certain upgrades require an ingredient to be activated. This ingredient is obtained by completing Upgrade Recipes. These recipes are available in the upgrade tab of a crafting table or obtained from NPCs. Each completed Upgrade Recipe yields some Technology Points. These points can be used to upgrade the item. 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, the base item is replaced with a different item of the same type. This means that the same piece of armor will be transformed into the form of a shield or weapon when upgraded. The new item will also come with a bonus of its own. This could be a drawback in that it could make the item more expensive if you do not require it.

If the player has enough tokens, they can reroll item upgrades. The item will be replaced with an entirely new item that has a level 1 basis and totally different bonuses. This can be beneficial, but should not be used frequently as it can waste resources.

Some upgrades can be rerolled many times which increases their value and allows the player to modify their gear. One example is Dolphin's Gift, which gives an increase in power when a player repeatedly enters and exits water (or does not swim as a dolphin). It is possible to upgrade it several times, each time increasing the maximum roll by a factor of 10. This item is extremely valuable in PvP as a perfectly rolled version of it could be worth between 20 and 50x its non-upp'd value.

Requirements

Item upgrading allows players to increase the level of their available gear--armor, weapons and trinkets that are above ilvl 385 by providing the appropriate items and currency to an NPC who upgrades items. Upgrades to armor set pieces also boost the defense of the base set, while upgrades to weapon items boost their base damage as well as their strength and dexterity.

All items can be upgraded a maximum of five times, except for hero gear which can be upgraded up to eight times. Each time you upgrade an object, it is at risk of failing. The failure rate increases when you exceed the maximum number. Failures can cause the item to revert back to its original state, requiring the player to spend more money on materials than they would have to had they stopped upgrading at the maximum number of upgrades.

If an item isn't upgraded the experience bar on the bar for growth will be reset to zero. The item will also lose any bonuses it earned, such as the chance to crit, attack damage, or additional effects (such as a higher healing rate over time or the speed of reloading). However, the user can still continue to use the weapon or armor after the failure.

When an item is upgraded the upgrades are applied from the lowest to the highest. This means that, when a weapon gains an increase in the chance of crit it will be applied before any increase in attack damage. Slots is a new attribute that has been added to item definitions. The value is calculated every time an upgrade occurs.

The amount of resources required to upgrade an item is based on the rarity rating and number of upgrade items slots. The cost of upgrading non-premium equipment is equivalent to its base value. For example an item that is commonplace could have five upgrades at a cost. 25,600 Technology Points and 4x Quality Improvement Chance. Hero quality items will have an incredibly lower cost for each upgrade.

Premium items have different requirements for upgrading in comparison to standard equipment. For instance, they might require fewer sowels but more minerals and erons. However, players will have to visit the NPC [Armor] Boboko in Central Flarine with each piece of equipment they want to upgrade. In addition to the upgrade costs mentioned above, each equipment upgrade will require an individual amount of ingredients for upgrading.
