How to Upgrade Items in Pokemon GO
The Upgrade is among the most valuable items in Pokemon GO. It allows trainers the chance to evolve Porygon2 into Porygon and progress in their Pokedex.
While it is rare, players can locate it by spinning the photo disc at a Pokestop, or as a reward at special events. What does this item do?
Components
Upgrade components can be added to trinkets, weapons or gathering tools in order to give them an attribute bonus. They are a crucial component for crafting. They can be gathered by salvaging or bought from vendors. You can also find them as drops, either from enemies or from item spheres. They can be used to upgrade weapons or armor with an upgrade slot.
Using upgrade components to increase the amount of experience gained when upgrading weapons and gear is essential to reach the highest level of progression in the game. The addition of organic components to an upgraded item will increase the item's multiplier of experience, whereas mechanical components will decrease it. The best combination is a high experience-multiplier organic component followed by a low-experience-multiplier mechanical component. This will maximize your experience gain and allow you to progress to the next level of weapon or equipment a lot easier to achieve.
The upgrade system is a bit complicated and it's essential to know how it works so that you can get the most out of your upgrades. The system keeps a running total for the item that you are upgrading. Each component has either a positive or negative multiplier value, and when the value reaches a certain threshold the value will be reset to zero.
In addition the amount of time gained from each upgrade component is determined by the hidden rank of the item being upgraded and its experience multiplier. The higher-ranked items are more difficult to upgrade, while the lower-ranked ones are easier to acquire.
When a new hardware upgrade is installed, it's crucial to carefully remove all connections and fasteners that hold the old component in place. Store them in parts tray to make identification and storage easier. Once the new hardware is installed, re-connect any cables or wires and connect the power supply to the electrical power. Test the computer by turning it on. If everything is connected correctly, the computer should boot normally. This is a crucial step to ensure that the new hardware is compatible with your current systems and will operate seamlessly.
Glyphs
Glyphs are a great way to make your gear better, but you need to know how to use them properly. Each glyph can be used to enhance an existing substatus and the higher the rank of a glyph, the more powerful it becomes. Choose wisely as you can only upgrade Glyphs once. Glyphs can also be used only once which means they are gone after you have used them on an artifact or item.
The best glyphs are those that increase the probability of rolling an affix with the desired tier. They are typically found on the best weapons or armor and other accessories. You can also find them on the Paragon Board. They are worth the effort, however they aren't always easy to locate.
Glyphs can be found in the Black Lion Chests, or purchased at the Trading Post. Some glyphs can only be used once, while others will remain in their original position. They are excellent for items that need to be rerolled often. The Glyph of Hope allows you to increase your chances of getting an affix that is specific by creating a magical effect on an item.
Certain glyphs can be used to alter existing affixes. This is common on gloves and boots. Each can host four different affixes. The Glyph of Insight, for instance, changes a prefix into an experimental affix. This is a useful tool to have if you want to increase the amount of damage you can do or want to be sure you get a top-quality affix for a specific slot.
After you reach the age of 50, the game shifts drastically. Instead of being a reliance on the campaign, you'll need to navigate the complex Paragon Board, Nightmare Dungeons, and new grinds to ensure that your build is as perfect as you can get it.
The most effective glyphs are ones that correspond to your character's type, such as the Exploit Glyph that increases the damage dealt to weak enemies. Control Glyph is another good glyph that boosts damage against enemies who are frozen, stunned or slowed. Each glyph has its own radius, which increases as it is upgraded. This makes glyphs a great method to upgrade your gear in the late game.
Reroll tokens
A reroll token is an upgrade item that lets players change one of the attributes of an item. You can do this in the item window by selecting an item, and then clicking a green button that has circling arrows. The cost of an reroll is determined based on the rarity of the item.
Reroll tokens can be found in the Mystery Box, as a rare drop from skulled creatures, or bought from the Trader. You can also obtain them through Event Items or by receiving them from other players. They can be used for rerolling weapons, armors and rings in increments of 2. Each token that is rerollable gives players the chance to roll for a new attribute which could be higher or lower than the previous one.
The token for rerolling is not just used to upgrade rerolls, but can also be used to reuse items. Recycling an item can earn players a certain amount of points that will add to the gauge of level for the item, based on its importance. This is a good way to get rid of old, useless equipment that hasn't yet been upgraded.
The token for rerolling can also be used to offer new weapon traits. These are displayed to the player, who has the option to decide whether to accept them or not. The player is able to offer up to six items at one time and the options expand when the item's rarity and level rises. This option is accessible through the Upgrade tab on the forge.
A reroll token can also be used to roll the set bonus of an item, which is applied when three or more items from the same set are installed on a unit. The set bonus is only available to units belonging to the same class. It is not applicable to other classes.
Other upgrades, like recipe items, can also be rerolled. These items aren't available in the shops or through Rerolls, but rather are transferred to the non-droppable Pool when players choose an item on a Food Card that requires new ingredients or equipment. Reroll tokens can be used to reroll these extra bonuses, however the base stats (including all upgrades), and level will remain the same.
Leveling
In the game, players can level up equipment by using an item upgrade item. These items can be made by obtaining the necessary ingredients from the item upgrader NPCs found in major cities. Once an item has been upgraded, its base stats will be boosted. Certain affixes can be changed. This could result in a significant increase in an item's level.
If an item is upgraded, it will have an icon of blue in its upper-left corner. The item will also show a number of upgrades below its maximum level. A greater amount of upgrades will raise the item's max level. The player can upgrade an item at any time he wants. This allows them to reach gear breakpoints, which increase the reroll chance of certain attachments.
Item upgrading provides players with the ability to increase the level of weapons and armor, helms, and a helm. This process costs items which are then exchanged by the item upgrade r NPC to earn currency. The upgrader will show an image of the item at its new level and will accept either Happy Tickets or Happy Stars to complete the upgrade. The item used for materials will be gone. However, the upgraded item will retain Item EXP in order to upgrade it further.
While there is no guaranteed method of obtaining an Upgrade however, it has a very low chance of being lost when spinning Pokestops and Gyms. Players can use an Upgrade to evolve into a Porygon into the form of a Porygon2, who will consume the item.
