World of Warcraft - Item Upgrade
Item upgrade allows players to increase the level of equippable weapons and armor. This increases the stats and can also add buffs or rerolls to an affix.
It is important to remember that upgrading common gear isn't always worth it. Rare and unique gear will quickly outclass upgraded magic and common gear.
Cost
If a player wants to upgrade an item, they must spend Gold to do so. The cost of upgrading an item is contingent on its current level and upgrade type selected. For example, upgrading a weapon will generally be less expensive than upgrading armor because weapons have lower requirements for level. The amount of Gold required for upgrading increases when the item is upgraded to the next level.
The upgraded items will also have improved stats that can improve its performance in different ways. This includes increasing its attack power critical strike chance, or damage per second. Additionally an upgraded item could be able to give additional bonuses to its equipped unit. These upgrades can be used for a number of reasons, including to boost the overall strength of a particular or group unit. They also can be a significant influence on the gameplay.
Any item upgrader NPC can be found in the game. These NPCs can be found in the major questing areas or capital cities. Players can also locate item upgrade rs when they visit dungeons with high-level bosses, and by talking to the NPCs in their garrisons of their faction.
The World of Warcraft item upgrade system lets players improve the quality of their weapons, armor, and trinkets. This process is very similar to that of gear reforging in Mists of Pandaria and Warlords of Draenor, but instead of using the currency appropriate to the task players need to visit an item upgrader NPC to complete the process.
Upgrades can be costly especially for armor and weapons. Depending on the upgrade track each step in item level can cost many Valorstones and crests. The total costs can be a major burden for players who don't have the funds or aren't willing to grind them.
The game allows you to reroll a upgraded item using a specific tool from the menu of items. This option allows you to replace the upgraded item with an unlevel 1 version that offers different bonus effects. This can help you get higher scores on items that are already upgraded, but it can also be a waste of resources.
Requirements
The process of upgrading equipmentable items like armor, weapons and trinkets is to increase the item level. This can boost their stats and make them more effective in combat. Players can upgrade their equipment by spending the appropriate amount of currency at an upgrader. Players should be aware the fact that some upgrades require specific requirements.
The earliest upgrades only increase the stats of the item's base by one level, but later upgrades provide more significant increases. For instance upgrading a weapon from level three to level six will increase the weapon's damage by plus two levels. A bonus stat will also be added to the upgraded item based on the level. This bonus is a mix of a substat that is guaranteed and an undetermined stat, which will vary from upgrade to upgrade.
A player can Reroll an upgraded item using a Reroll Token to exchange the upgrade for a brand new one. The new item will have an additional set of bonuses, as well as a lower base item level. The rerolled item also has different requirements for dexterity and strength. It is important to note that the item rerolled won't be able to keep its original strength or have any wasted resources.
Some upgraded items are only able to be rerolled if the initial item was Unique Epic, Rare, or Rare. Exceptional items can also be rerolled, however the original stats are replaced with a flat-rate bonus. Rerolling an item that is Rare or Epic item will produce an ordinary version, while rerolling the Epic version will result in an elite version.
An upgraded item may also come with additional modifiers, which can increase the stats of the item and enhance its performance. These additional modifiers don't come with the upgrade price. You can buy them at the Trading Post, or through other players. They can be earned through doing specific missions within the game.
To upgrade an item of equipment it is necessary to visit the NPC [Armor] Boboko in Central Flarine. You will need Power Dices depending on the item. (Dice 6 are dropped by monsters 21+, Giants and Bosses; Dice 12 from Bosses). You will also require different amounts of Minerals, Erons and Giants.
Time is a major factor.
Item upgrades are a way to increase your ship's stats and gear without the need to level them up. While upgrading isn't cheap, it can be an excellent way to increase your performance without having to spend a lot of time fighting. It's essential to be aware of the costs and benefits of item upgrades before you invest your money or time.
Each upgrade increases an item's base stat by a specific amount, and also offers a chance for a bonus substat increase. The random substat can vary from a modest increase to a significant boost. Make sure to focus on the stats that perform best in slots first. They will provide a greater return for your investment.
You can see the time required to complete an upgrade when you open your inventory and select an item such as a ship, weapon or accessory. The upgrade window will show the estimated completion time and the progress. In some cases you may be able to speed up the upgrade by applying a Glyph.
It is also possible to salvage any or all upgrade components from an item using a special high-tier salvage kit that is sold by Black Lion Salvage and Ascended Salvage. This is not the case for legendary equipment or upgrades that can only be recovered using an upgrade extractor or reclaiming with the corresponding Karma dealer.
Rewards
The upgrading of items grants players currency and a range of items. In addition, every upgrade can grant a random extra stat bonus. The amount of bonus awarded will vary for each upgrade, and it's usually higher for rarer items. Players can use a Great Vault search to see whether an item can be upgraded prior to spending tickets. The search can help determine whether the item is of a specific class and whether the player would benefit by an upgrade.
During the upgrade, the item will slowly move closer to the next level but not always reach the full upgrade bar. This process consumes Growthstones and Sollant and Sollant, but there's an opportunity to get an upgraded item in only one cycle of growth. The more levels that an item gains the more powerful its stats will be and the more items that can be upgraded.
Upgrade components can be integrated into weapons, armor, and trinkets in order to give an attribute benefit or an additional effect when the equipment is in use. Certain upgrade components come with cosmetic effects. Players can purchase upgrade items by crafting, purchasing from vendors or the Trading Post, looting, or receiving as rewards. Additionally players can retrieve upgraded items using an Upgrade Extractor or salvaging them with a high-tier salvage kit. Glyphs that are placed in tools for gathering can be swapped without any restrictions.
The player can transform an item into another upgradeable item by selecting it and pressing the green button an arrow that indicates reroll. This will change the layout of the item window and allow players to select up to six items to "recycle". The item will be replaced by a level 1 item. Rerolled items won't retain their level or the amount of resources used to upgrade them.
An item's maximum upgrade level is determined by its tier and quality. Rare and Epic items can be upgraded to levels of nine, whereas common items can only be upgraded up to level six. The upgrade of an item is added to the base statistics of the item. This means that they won't increase in the future after a certain level.
