How to Upgrade Items in Pokemon GO
The Upgrade is among the most valuable items in Pokemon GO. It gives trainers the opportunity to transform Porygon2 into Porygon, and to advance in their Pokedex.
This item is rare however it can be obtained by spinning a Photo Disc at a Pokestop or as a prize during special events. But what does this item actually do?
Components
Upgrade components can be added to trinkets, weapons or gathering tools to confer an additional benefit. They are a vital element in crafting and can be found through salvaging or purchased from vendors. They can also be found as drops in the game dropped by enemies, or gathered from item spheres. They can be used to upgrade any weapon or armor with an upgrade slot.
To get the highest degree of advancement in the game, it's crucial to utilize upgrade components to maximize experience gained by upgrading weapons and gear. The multiplier of experience of an upgraded item is increased when it is combined with organic components, while mechanical components reduce 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 make the next level of equipment or weapon more accessible.
The upgrade process is complicated, and it's important to know how it works to get the most out of your upgrades. The system works by keeping a running total of experience for the item you're upgrading. Each component has a positive or negative experience multiplier value, and when the total is at a certain level then it's reset to zero.
The amount of the experience gained by each upgrade component can also be influenced by the item's hidden rank and its experience multiplier. This means that the higher-ranked items are more difficult to upgrade, while lower-ranked items are simpler to achieve.
It is essential to remove all connections and fasteners that are holding the old component. Save them in a parts tray to make identification and storage easier. Connect all wires and cables, and connect the power source. Test the computer by turning on. If everything is connected correctly the computer should start normally. This is a vital step to ensure that the new hardware will function seamlessly with your existing system.
Glyphs
Glyphs are a fantastic instrument to improve your gear, but you must know how to utilize it. Each glyph can be used to enhance an existing substatus and the higher the rank of a glyph, the more powerful it becomes. Make sure you choose wisely, because you can only upgrade glyphs once. Glyphs are also only available once and disappear when you use them on an object or artifact.
The most effective symbols are those that increase the chance of affixing an affix to the desired tier. item upgrading are usually found on the most expensive armor, weapons 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 from the Trading Post. Certain glyphs can only be used only once, while others remain in their original position. These are ideal for items that need to be rerolled frequently. The Glyph of Hope allows you to increase the chances of obtaining an affix you want by making an item appear magical.
Certain glyphs can also be used to change existing affixes. This is often seen on gloves and boots. Each can host four different affixes. The Glyph of Insight for example transforms a prefix into an experimental affix. This is a fantastic tool to have if are looking to maximize your damage output or you want to ensure you'll get a high-quality affix for a particular slot.
When you reach the level 50, the structure of the game dramatically changes. You'll no longer be able to depend on the campaign. Instead, you will be required to navigate the Paragon Board, Nightmare Dungeons and new grinds in order to optimize your build.
The most effective glyphs are those that match your character's specialization, for example the Exploit Glyph which boosts damage to weak enemies. Control Glyph is another good glyph that increases damage to enemies who are stunned, frozen or slow. Each glyph has a radius, and the radius increases when you upgrade it. This makes glyphs an excellent option to upgrade your gear late in the game.
Reroll tokens
Reroll tokens are an upgrade item that lets players change one of the attributes on an item. You can do this in the item window, by selecting an item and then clicking an orange button with the arrows that circle. The cost of the reroll is contingent 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. They can also be obtained through Event Items or by obtaining them from other players. They can be used to reroll weapons rings, and armors in increments of two. Each token that is rerollable gives players a chance to roll for a new attribute that could be higher or lower than the previous one.
In addition to being able to upgrade rerolls, the reroll token can also be used to recycle items. The rarity of the item determines how many points players will receive for recycling it. This is a great method to get rid of old, unneeded equipment that isn't upgraded.
The token for rerolling can also be used to offer new weapon traits. The player can choose to accept or deny these traits. The player is able to offer up to six items at one time, and the options increase when the item's rarity and level rises. This option is available through the Upgrade tab in the forge.
Reroll tokens can also be used to reroll the set bonus of an item which is granted when three or more items from the same set are installed on a unit. The set bonus is only available to units that belong to the same class. It cannot be applied to other classes.
Other upgrade items, such recipes, can also be Rerolled. These aren't offered by the shop or rerolling, but are instead transferred to the Non-droppable Pool when players choose a Food Card that requires new Ingredients or equipment. The reroll token 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, you are able to upgrade your equipment with upgrades to your items. These items can be created by obtaining the ingredients needed from NPCs that are upgraders in major cities. Once an item has been upgraded, its stats will be boosted. Certain affixes can be rerolled. This can result to an increase of a significant amount in an item's ilvl.
If an item is upgraded, it will have a blue icon in the upper-left corner. The item will also display a number lower than its maximum level. A greater number of upgrades will increase the item's maximum level. The player can upgrade an item in as many times as they like. This will allow the player to reach gear breakpoints which increase the chances of rerolling certain attachments.
The upgrade feature for items allows players to increase the quality and level of weapons, helmets, and armor. This process requires items, which are traded at the upgrader NPC to exchange them for currency. The upgrader will show a preview of an item at its new level and accept either Happy Tickets or Happy Stars to complete the upgrade. Materials used to make the upgrade will be lost, but the upgraded item will keep its Item EXP to allow for future upgrades.
Although there isn't a 100% sure method to get an Upgrade, it does have a very low chance of falling when spinning Pokestops and Gyms. Players can even use an upgrade on the Porygon to evolve it into an Porygon2 which will eat the item.
The Upgrade is an evolution product that was introduced in Generation II. It is a transparent device filled with all kinds of data, produced by Silph Co. It is used to make certain Pokemon species grow, and is activated when you trade while holding the Link Cable or Porygon. It is a rare item with a 1% probability of dropping every spin from Pokestops and Gyms. It can also be obtained by completing the Upgrade Station event.
