World of Warcraft - Item Upgrade
Item upgrade allows players to raise the item level of armor and weapons that can be equipped. This increases the stats of that equipment, in addition to sometimes adding buffs or the rerolling of an affix.
It is crucial to remember that upgrading magic and common gear isn't always worth the cost. Rare and unique gear will quickly outclass modernized magic and common equipment.
Cost
The player must pay gold to upgrade an item. The cost of upgrading an item is contingent on its current level and the type of upgrade selected. For example upgrading a weapon is typically be cheaper than upgrading armor, as weapons require lower levels of skill. The amount of Gold required for upgrading increases when the item is upgraded to the next level.
A newly upgraded item will also have increased stats, which can boost its performance in various ways. This could include boosting its attack power or critical strike chance. A upgraded item can also provide additional buffs to the weapon it is equipped with. These upgrades are able to boost the overall power of a group or individual unit, and could be a major influence on the gameplay.
Items can be upgraded at any item upgrader NPC in the game. In general NPCs can be found in major cities or questing areas. You can also find upgraders of items by visiting dungeons that have high-level bosses and talking to NPCs in garrisons of your faction.
The item upgrade system in World of Warcraft provides players with the ability to upgrade the level of armor, weapons, and trinkets. This procedure is similar to the reforging of gear in Mists of Pandaria or Warlords of Draenor. However, instead of using currency, players have to visit an upgrader for their item to complete the process.
Item upgrades can be costly, particularly when it comes to weapons and armor. Depending on the upgrade track, each step up in the level of an item can cost several Valorstones or crests. The total cost can be prohibitive for players who do not have the resources or are unwilling to grind them.
Fortunately the game allows players to roll an upgraded item using an additional tool available in the menu for items. This option allows you to replace the upgraded item with an unlevel 1 version that offers different bonuses. This is a great way to get better rolls on items that are already upgraded. However, it can be a waste of time.
Requirements
The process of upgrading equippable items such as weapons, armor and trinkets is to increase the level of the item. This improves their stats and can make them more effective in combat. Players can upgrade their gear by spending the appropriate currency at an upgrader. Players should be aware of the fact that certain upgrades require special requirements.
The earliest upgrades only increase the base item's stats by one level, however later upgrades offer more substantial enhancements. For instance upgrading a weapon from level three to level six can increase the weapon's damage by an additional two levels. A bonus stat will be added to the upgraded item based on its level. The bonus consists of a guaranteed substat as well as random generated stats that can vary from upgrade to upgrade.
Reroll Tokens can be used to reroll an item that has been upgraded. The new item will feature an additional set of bonuses as well as a lower level of base item. The rerolled item also has different requirements for dexterity and strength. It is important to remember that the rerolled item will not retain its original level or any of its wasted resource.
Certain upgraded items can only be rerolled if the initial item was Unique Epic, Rare or Rare. Extraordinary items are also eligible for rerolling, but their original stats will be replaced by a flat bonus. Rerolling a Rare or Epic item will result in a Normal version, and rerolling the Epic version will result in an elite version.
A newly upgraded item could have extra modifiers, which can further increase its stats and enhance its performance. These additional modifiers are not included in the upgrade price. You can purchase them at the Trading Post, or through other players. They can also be earned by completing specific missions in the game.
To upgrade a piece equipment, you need to visit the NPC [Armor] Boboko located in Central Flarine. Depending on the kind of item, you will require one or more Power Dices (Dice 6 is available from monsters 21+ and Giants while Dice 12 is droppable from Bosses). You will also require different amounts of Minerals, Erons and Giants.
Time is a factor.
Items upgrades can be used to improve the performance of your ship and gear without the need to upgrade them. While it's not cheap, it can be an excellent way to increase your performance without having to spend as much time in combat. It's crucial to know the benefits and costs of upgrading your items before you invest your money or time.
Each upgrade boosts the stats of an item by a certain amount, and also gives a chance to gain a bonus substat increase. The additional substat is randomly assigned and could range from a tiny increase in one statistic to an even greater increase in another. It is recommended to concentrate on the most effective items in the slot first, as they will provide a greater return on your investment.
You can see the time required to complete an upgrade by opening your inventory and selecting a weapon, ship, or accessory. The upgrade window will then show the progress and anticipated completion time. In certain cases you might be capable of speeding up the process by using a Glyph.
Black Lion Salvage or Ascended Salvage offer a salvage kit which allows you to salvage all or a portion of upgrade components. This is not applicable to legendary equipment or upgrades that can only be recovered using an Upgrade extractor or by making a claim with the appropriate Karma merchant.
Enjoy the Benefits
The upgrading of items grants players currency and a range of items. Each upgrade also has a chance of granting a random stat bonus. The amount of bonus awarded differs for every upgrade, and is usually higher for rarer items. The Great Vault can be searched by players to determine if an item is upgradeable. The search can also help determine whether the item is of a certain tier and if the player would benefit from a specific upgrade.
In the process of upgrading, an item will gradually grow closer to its next level, but won't always reach a full upgrade bar. This process consumes Growthstones and Sollant however there is the chance to achieve an item that is fully upgraded in just one cycle of growth. The higher the levels an item is upgraded the more powerful its stat value will be, and the more items that can be upgraded.
Upgrade components can be inserted into trinkets, armor, and weapons to earn an attribute bonus or an additional effect, while the equipment is being worn. Certain upgrade components also have cosmetic effects. Upgrade components can be obtained by crafting, buying from vendors or the Trading Post, looting or receiving them as gifts. Players can also find upgraded items by using an Upgrade extractor or salvaging with a high tier salvage kit. Glyphs that are placed in tools for gathering are able to be swapped without any restrictions.
By selecting the item and pressing the green button, which has an arrow that rerolls the player can roll it into an upgradeable item. This alters the layout of the item's window, and allow players to choose up to six items to "recycle". The item that is recycled can be exchanged for an item of level 1 of the same kind. Recycled items won't keep their status, nor will the resources used to upgrade it.
The maximum level of upgrade for an item is determined by the item's tier as well as its quality. Common items can be upgraded up to an maximum of level six, while Rare and Epic items can be upgraded to level nine. The upgrades to an item are added to the item's base statistics which means that they do not increase after a certain point.
