Upgrades can boost the value of weapons, armors 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 suffer an attack damage of 3% each time it is upgraded (relative to its previous value).

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

Components

Upgrade components are items that can be slotted into weapons, armor, and trinkets to provide an extra stat boost or impact while they're being used. They can be acquired through crafting, purchasing from vendors, trading or looting. Some upgrades have special cosmetic effects.

Upgrade components can be inserted into any equipment that has a slot for them. The item must be at a minimum upgraded to blue level for a component to be applied. Upgrade components, unlike other mods, can only be applied once. They cannot be replaced or applied several times. Infusions and enrichments are a particular type of upgrade component that is designed for non-amulet ascended and legendary equipment and some of the items that are not ascending back. Infusions and enrichments can be retrieved by salvaging gear from the ascended, or by completing an elite mission 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 used on (for example 'Canthan Armor Insignia',' changes to Canthan Armor Minor Vigor). Certain upgrades boost an item upgrades's Mark Level or Rarity, which allows players to create stronger versions of the equipment that require the smallest amount of Upgrade Crystals than is required to achieve the same level of upgrade through normal methods.

A boost upgrade can change the attack or defence characteristics of the weapon or armor. After the player has completed the cutscene and defeated Crazed Mechanist These upgrades can be crafted at the Portative Forging Station. They can also be dropped by enemies while upgrading other gear or buying them from the cash shop for 500 upgrade crystals per.

The player can have a maximum of five boost upgrades at one time. Each upgrade increases the probability that a higher-level version of the item will drop at the time of the next reset. This gives players a reason to upgrade their gear even in the event that they don't know how much it will be improved after the reset.

If a boost upgrade is successful or not, the process can be expensive, and there is a significant risk that the item may be obsolete or even break if it fails. A unsuccessful upgrade could cause the destruction of Upgrade Crystals and Assist Powder as well as the upgraded item. This is mitigated by the availability of cash shop items that can increase or even eliminate the possibility of failure, and some upgrades that provide a bonus when reinserted into an item.

Glyphs

Glyphs can be used to upgrade the Paragon Board by placing them in sockets with special functions. Glyphs increase the effectiveness of all nodes in their radius and include pre-existing affixes to equipment. Glyphs can be upgraded various ways, and we recommend upgrading them to 15 levels as soon as possible.

You'll often see in the endgame that placing Glyphs is the most effective method to upgrade your gear. These are the only upgrade components that can be upgraded up to level 15 and offer significant boosts to your power on the Paragon Board.

The majority of upgrades in the game can be replaced, however, Glyphs are only the one upgrade component that can be removed and re-placed without restrictions. Only legendary equipment can be salvaged and re-placed with the help of a Black Lion Salvage Kit.

Each Glyph has a specific range of values that it can improve a stat by, and the value is displayed when you choose the Glyph in your inventory. You can replace it with a Glyph that is of the same or higher rank to increase the value of the Glyph.

Glyphs are available in the Black Lion Trading Post as part of an Gem Store bundle or purchase the glyphs with certain tools that allow unlimited use, and during Faction Crypt Raids. Each Faction Crypt could drop one of these Glyphs. There are some rare glyphs you can find in any of the Faction Crypts.

When you have the desired Glyphs, you will have to attach them to your equipment. Each Glyph unlocks a unique bonus that will boost the stats of a specific set of nodes that are within the radius of the Glyph. This will either be +40 for one of your primary stats or +25 for two of your secondary stats, based on the Glyph.

Glyphs will boost all nodes connected to them, therefore it is recommended to place Glyphs in strategic spots on the Graph. This will maximize the impact. Druids, for example should position their Glyphs close to their primary damage nodes. They may also consider placing them near their most critical damage nodes.

Leveling

The item upgrading system allows players to improve the effectiveness of certain items by placing upgraded components into them. This is commonly known as "upping". Each upgradeable item is assigned an amount that determines the final stats. Upgraded items can be upgraded up to a maximum level of 385. Each item level requires various components, and the cost of upgrading increase with each level.

Some upgrades require an ingredient to be activated. This ingredient is obtained from finishing Upgrade Recipes. These recipes can be bought from NPCs, or on the upgrade tab of a crafting table. Each Upgrade Recipe that is completed results in a certain amount of Technology points. These points can be used to upgrade the item. Once enough are earned, the upgrade will be claimed and its additional bonuses will be added to the item.

When an item is upgraded by a player, the base item 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 come with a bonus of its own. This could be a drawback in that it could make the item more expensive, even if you don't require it.

If the player has enough tokens, they can roll the upgrade of their item. The item will be replaced with an entirely new item that has a base of level 1 and totally different bonuses. This can be useful however it shouldn't be done often as it could waste resources.

Some upgrades can increase their value and allow players to modify their gear. An excellent example is Dolphin's Gift, which gives an increase in power when a player is repeatedly in and out of the water (or swims like dolphins). It is possible to upgrade it several times, each time increasing the maximum roll by a factor of 10. This item is very useful in PvP. A well-rolled version can be worth up to 50x the value of its unupgraded counterpart.

Requirements

item upgrades upgrading allows players to increase the quality of their equippable equipment--armor, weapons, and trinkets above ilvl 385--by providing the appropriate currency and items to an item upgrader NPC. Upgrades to armor set pieces improve the strength of their base defense and weapon upgrades items increase the damage they deal as well as the required strength and dexterity.

All items can be upgraded a maximum of five times, with the exception of hero gear that can have eight upgrades. Each time you upgrade an object, it has a chance of failing. The probability of failure increases as you go over the maximum number. Failures can result in the item returning to its original state which means that the player has to purchase more materials than if they had stopped upgrading after the maximum number.

If an item is not upgraded the experience bar in its growth bar will reset to zero. The item also loses any bonuses it has gained, such as chances to be crit, attack damage, or other effects (such as an increase in healing over time, or reloading speed). The player is able to use their weapon or armor even after the failure.

If an item is upgraded the upgrades are applied from lowest to highest. This means that if a weapon increases its crit chance, the increase will be applied before any attack damage increases. A new attribute known as Slots is now added to the item definition and the value is recomputed every time an upgrade is made.

The amount of resources needed to upgrade an item is determined on the rarity rating and number of upgrade slots. The cost of upgrading non-premium equipment is equivalent to the value of the base item. For instance an item that is commonplace could have five upgrades at a cost of. 25600 Technology Points 4x Quality Improvement Chance. Hero quality items are less expensive per upgrade.

Premium items may require different upgrades than regular gear. For instance they might require less sowels, however they may require more minerals and orons. The player will need to carry each piece of gear they want to upgrade to NPC [Armor] Boboko located in Central Flarine. In addition to the upgrade costs mentioned above, each upgrade will require the use of different upgrade ingredients.
