How to Upgrade Items in Pokemon GO
The Upgrade is among the most important items in Pokemon GO. It gives trainers the opportunity to evolve Porygon2 into Porygon, and to improve their Pokedex.
While this item is quite uncommon, players can get it by spinning a photo disc at a Pokestop, or as a reward at special occasions. But what does this item actually do?
Components
Upgrade components can be added to trinkets, weapons or gathering tools to give them an attribute bonus. They are a crucial element in crafting and can be obtained through salvaging or purchased from vendors. They can also be found as drops, either from enemies or in item spheres. They can be used to upgrade any weapon or armor that has an upgrade slot.
Utilizing upgrade components to maximize the experience gained when upgrading equipment and weapons is essential to reach the highest degree of progression in the game. The multiplier of experience for an upgraded item is increased by adding organic components, whereas mechanical components reduce it. The best combination is a high experience-multiplier organic component followed by a low-experience-multiplier mechanical component. This will increase the amount of experience you gain and allow you to move on to the next level.
The upgrade process is complicated and it's essential to understand how it works in order to maximize the benefits of your upgrades. The system keeps a daily total for the item you're upgrading. Each component has either a positive or negative multiplier value, and when the total reaches certain thresholds the value will be reset to zero.
The amount of experience gained from every upgrade component can be influenced by the item's hidden rank as well as its experience multiplier. The items with higher ranks will be more difficult to upgrade, while those with lower ranks are less difficult to acquire.
If a new version of the hardware is installed, it's essential to carefully remove all connections and fasteners that held the old component in place. Keep them in parts tray to aid in identification and storage. Reconnect all cables and wires, and connect the power source. Then test the computer by switching it on. If everything is connected properly, the computer should boot up normally. This is a crucial step to ensure that the new hardware is compatible with your existing systems and will work seamlessly.
Glyphs
Glyphs are an excellent method to make your equipment better, but you have to be able to utilize them properly. Each glyph can be used to improve an existing substatus, and the higher the rank of a Glyph, the more powerful it becomes. You can only upgrade a glyph once, so make sure you choose wisely. Glyphs can only be used once, which means they will disappear after you have used them on an object or artifact.
The most useful symbols are those which increase your chances to roll an affix of the desired tier or type. They are usually found on the top weapons, armor, and accessories. They are also available on the Paragon Board and are usually worth the extra effort, however they can be hard to get.
You can find Glyphs in the Black Lion Chests or purchase them at the Trading Post. Certain glyphs can only be used once, whereas others remain in place. They are a great choice for items that need to be re-rolled frequently. The Glyph of Hope, for example, allows you to increase the probability of acquiring a certain affix when you are enchanting items.
Some glyphs are also used to modify existing affixes. This is the case with gloves, boots and belts, all is capable of holding four different affixes. The Glyph of Insight for example, turns a prefix in an experimental affix. This is a useful tool for those who want a high-quality affix in the specified slot or wish to maximize the damage output.
When you reach the level 50, the nature of the game shifts dramatically. Instead of being a reliance on the campaign, you'll need to navigate the intricate Paragon Board, Nightmare Dungeons and new grinds to ensure that your game is as efficient as it can be.
The most effective glyphs are ones that are compatible with your character class, such as the Exploit Glyph, which boosts the damage dealt to enemies who are vulnerable. Control Glyph is another good glyph that boosts damage against enemies who are stunned, frozen, or slowed. Each glyph has a radius, and the radius grows as you upgrade the glyph. This makes glyphs a great option to upgrade your gear later in the game.
Reroll tokens
A reroll token is an upgrade item that allows players to modify one of the attributes on an item. It is possible to do this within the item's window by selecting an item, and then clicking an orange button with circling arrows. The cost of rerolling depends on the item's rarity.
Reroll tokens are available in the Mystery Box, as a rare drop from skulled creatures, or purchased from the Trader. They are also obtained through Events Items and can be obtained from other players. They can be used for rerolling weapons, armors and rings by increments of 2. Each token that is rerollable allows players to roll for a new attribute, that could be higher or lower than the previous one.
The token for rerolling is not only used to upgrade rerolls, but can also be recycled to recycle items. Recycling an item gives players a certain amount points, which will be added to the level gauge for the item, depending on its importance. This is a great way to get rid of old, useless equipment which hasn't been upgraded.
The reroll token can also be used to offer new weapon characteristics. The player can accept or decline these traits. The player can offer up to six items at one time and the options expand when the item's rarity and level rises. This option can be accessed via the Upgrade tab on the forge.
A reroll token can also be used to reroll an item's set bonus, which is applied when three or more items from the same set are equipped on an item. The set bonus can only be applied to units that belong to the same class. It is not applicable to other classes.
Other upgrade items, such recipe items, can also be changed. These items aren't sold in the shops or through Rerolls, but rather are transferred to the non-droppable Pool when players choose a Food Card that requires new ingredients or equipment. Reroll tokens can be used to reroll extra bonuses on these items however, the basic stats and levels (including all upgrades) will remain the same.
Leveling
In the game, you are able to upgrade your equipment by using upgrade items. These items can be crafted by obtaining the necessary ingredients from the NPCs who upgrade items found in major cities. Once an item is upgraded, it will get a bonus to its base stats. Certain affixes can be changed. This could give a significant boost to the ilvl of an item.
In the upper left corner, a blue icon will appear when an item has been upgraded. The item will also show a number of upgrades below its maximum level. The maximum level of the item will increase if there are more upgrades. The player can upgrade an item in as many times as they like. This allows the player to reach gear breakpoints, which increase the reroll chances of certain affixes.
Upgrades to items give players the ability to increase the level of weapons and armor, helms, and a helm. This process requires items that are then redeemed by the item upgrader NPC for currency. The upgrader will give a preview of the item's new level and will accept either Happy Stars or Happy Tickets to complete the upgrade. The item used for materials will be destroyed, however the upgraded item will retain its Item EXP to allow for future upgrades.
There is no way of ensuring that an Upgrade will be revealed however, it is a very low probability of appearing while spinning Pokestops or Gyms. The players can make use of an Upgrade to evolve into a Porygon into the form of a Porygon2, who will consume the item.
