World of Warcraft - Item Upgrade
Item upgrade allows players to raise the item level of armor and weapons that can be equipped. This improves the stats of that equipment, in addition to sometimes adding buffs or the rerolling of an affix.
It is crucial to remember that upgrading common gear is not always worth it. Unique and rare equipment will quickly surpass modernized equipment and magic.
Cost
The player has to spend gold to upgrade an item. The cost to upgrade an item is based on the current level of the item and type of upgrade. Upgrades to weapons are generally cheaper than upgrades to armor, since weapons have lower requirements. The amount of Gold required to upgrade an item increases when the item is upgraded to a higher level.
An upgraded item will also come with increased stats, which could boost its performance in a variety of ways. This could include increasing the power of its attack, critical strike chance, or damage per second. An upgraded item may also give additional bonuses to the unit it is equipped with. These upgrades are able to boost the overall strength of a group or individual unit, and could significantly impact the gameplay.
upgrade item can be upgraded at any item upgrader NPC in the game. Generally, these NPCs are located in major cities or questing spots. You can also find item-upgraders by visiting dungeons with high-level bosses. You can also talk to NPCs at the garrisons of your faction.
The system of upgrading items in World of Warcraft provides players with the possibility of upgrading the level of armor, weapons and trinkets. This procedure is similar to the gear reforging process in Mists of Pandaria or Warlords of Draenor. However, instead of using currency, players have to visit an item upgrade r to complete the process.
Upgrades can be costly especially for armor and weapons. Depending on the upgrade track each step up in item level can cost several Valorstones and crests. The costs can be prohibitive for those who do not have the resources or are unable to grind.
The game allows players to roll a new item by with a special tool in the menu of items. This option lets you exchange the upgraded item with an equivalent level 1 version of it with a different set of bonus effects. This can help you get better scores on items that have been upgraded, but could be a waste of time and resources.
Requirements
Upgrading is the procedure of increasing the level of items that can be equipped such as trinkets, weapons, and armor. This can increase their power which makes them more powerful in battle. Players can upgrade gear by paying the appropriate currency at a NPC who sells upgrades for items. Players should be aware of the fact that certain upgrades require special requirements.
Initial upgrades only boost the stats of the item's base level. Later upgrades provide more significant increases. For example, upgrading a weapon from level three to level six will boost the weapon's damage by plus 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 an undetermined stat that will change from upgrade to upgrade.
Reroll Tokens can be used to reroll an item which has been upgraded. The new item will come with a different set of extra bonuses as well as a lower base item level. The rerolled item will also have different requirements for strength and dexterity. It is important to remember that the rerolled item will not retain its level or have any of its wasted resources.
Rerolling some upgraded items is only possible if the item was upgraded was an Epic Rare, Rare, or Unique. Some exceptional items are also suitable for rerolling, however their original stats will be replaced with a flat bonus. Rerolling an item that is Rare or Epic item will produce a Normal version, and doing the same with the Epic version will result in an elite version.
An upgraded item may also have extra modifiers, which can further increase its stats and enhance its performance. These additional modifiers aren't included in the upgrade price. You can buy them at the Trading Post, or through other players. They can be earned through completing specific missions in the game.
To upgrade an equipment piece it is necessary to visit the NPC [Armor] Boboko in Central Flarine. Based on the type of item, you will require one or more Power Dices (Dice 6 is droppable from monsters 21+ and Giants and Dice 12 is available from Bosses). You will also require different amounts of Minerals, Erons and Giants.
Time
Upgrades to items can be used to improve the power of your gear and ship without the need to upgrade them. Upgrades aren't cheap, but they can be a great method to boost your stats and not have to spend so much time in battle. It's important to know the costs and benefits before investing your money or time.
Each upgrade increases the stats of the item's base by in a specific amount, and offers the chance of obtaining an additional substat. The random substat could vary from a modest increase to a significant boost. Make sure to focus on the stats that perform best in slots first. They will bring greater return for your investment.
You can see the amount of time needed to complete an upgrade if you open your inventory and select a weapon, ship or accessory. The upgrade window will display the progress and expected completion time. In some cases, you may be able to speed the process by using a Glyph.
It is also possible to salvage some or all of the upgrade components from an item using a high-end salvage kit, which is offered by Black Lion Salvage and Ascended Salvage. This does not apply to legendary equipment or upgrades that can only be retrieved using an Upgrade extractor or by reclaiming with the corresponding Karma retailer.
Rewards
The upgrading of items grants players currency and a range of items. Every upgrade has a chance to award a random stat bonus. The value of the bonus differs for each upgrade, and is typically higher for rarer items. The players can perform a Great Vault search to see whether an item can be upgraded prior to purchasing tickets. The search can also determine if the item is of the appropriate level and if the player could benefit from an upgrade.
During the upgrade process, the item will slowly move closer to the next level, but not always reach the full upgrade bar. This process makes use of Growthstones and Sollant but there's a 10% chance of achieving a fully upgraded item after just one cycle. The higher the level an item gains the more stats will be and the more items that can be upgraded.
Upgrade components can be slotted into armor, weapons, and trinkets to provide an attribute bonus or extra effect when the equipment is in use. Certain upgrade components can be equipped with additional cosmetic effects. Players can obtain upgrade components through crafting, buying from vendors or on the Trading Post, looting, or obtaining a reward. Players can also retrieve upgraded items by using an Upgrade extractor, or salvage with a high tier salvage kit. Glyphs placed on gathering tools can be swapped freely.
By selecting the item and pressing the green button, which has an arrow that rerolls, a player can roll it into an upgradeable item. This will change the layout of the item's window, and allow players to choose up to six items to "recycle". The item will be replaced by an item of level 1. Recycled items will not keep their level or the amount of resources needed to upgrade them.
The maximum level of upgrade for an item is determined by the item's level and its quality. Rare items can be upgraded up to an maximum of level six, while Rare and Epic items can be upgraded up to level nine. The item upgrades are added to the base statistics of the item. This means that they will not increase further after a certain level.
