Pokemon GO Upgrade Items and Components
An upgrade item is a special item that can make certain Pokemon develop. The Upgrade is obtained by spinning a PokeStop photo disc. It is sometimes offered as a prize during Pokemon GO events.
Upgrades can be used on armors, weapons, trinkets, and gathering tools in order to raise their item level. The upgrade costs Flightstones or crests based on the kind of item.
Upgrade components
Upgrade components can be added to weapons, armors, trinkets and gathering tools to add attributes bonuses or other effects when the equipment is being used. Upgrade components can only be used on equipment with an upgrade slot. The majority of upgrade components require that the item to be upgraded is at a certain level. Certain upgrade items come with special visual effects that can be seen when they are used. Upgrade components can be obtained by crafting, purchased by karma merchants or traded with other players via the Trading Post. They can also be salvaged from equipment and used as rewards.
There are various upgrade components, each of which comes with various bonuses. Universal upgrades, such as gems and inscriptions are able to be applied to any type of equipment. They offer fewer bonuses than other types of upgrade components. Infusions can be found in non-amulet equipment that is ascended and legendary equipment, while enrichments are utilized for certain items that have been ascended. The majority of upgrade components can be replaced if they are inserted into an item, but doing so can destroy the previous upgrade. The exceptions are glyphs (which can only be used in gathering tools) and enchantments, which are able to be removed and then reinserted.
Insignias, enchantments, and upgrades with prefixes or suffixes will be displayed in the hover display of the item while they will be added to the equipment's name (e.g. an Radiant Insignia will change the name into Radiant Tyrian Armor). The tooltip of an item will display the number of upgrades that have been added to it.
Glyphs
Glyphs are special characters that can be added into an OpenType font to add functional or decorative elements such as ligatures, ornaments, fractions, swashes, registered trademark symbols and ellipses. The Glyphs Panel lets you insert and view these special characters as well as standard symbols such as em and en dashes as being trademark symbols that are registered.
Each Glyph provides an initial boost in stats for the character. It also includes up to four Secondary Stats that affect the radius of the glyph on your Paragon Board. Secondary Stats can be described as a %-increase which is multiplied once other bonuses have been applied, with the exception of Speed Glyphs which directly increase the hero's speed.
The Glyphs in your inventory can be activated by selecting them and then clicking the "enchant" button. This will bring up a window that displays the Glyphs that are available to you. You are only able to apply the appropriate Glyph to the item you are looking for. Each weapon, jewelry, or armor piece has its own collection of Glyphs.
You can upgrade your Glyphs by finishing Tree of Whisper Quests or Nightmare Dungeons. The more difficult a area is, the greater Glyph experience you'll earn. Once a Glyph reaches level 15 and is upgraded, it is upgradeable at the Glyph Upgrade Altar. The radius of the Paragon Board increases by one node for every 15 levels at which a Glyph is upgraded.
Once a Glyph has been elevated to the desired level You can activate it by selecting it, then clicking the "enchant" button. The resulting glyph will provide the stated bonus and increase the number of nodes that are within its range on the Paragon Board. Glyphs should be placed where they can benefit your build the most. This is why you should prioritize Magic Glyphs as soon as possible. Rare glyphs may also offer double bonus in the event that certain conditions are fulfilled.
Click the cycle widget to change the view of the Glyphs Panel. Each view will display the Glyphs using a different font. You can narrow down the selection of glyphs by selecting an option under "Entire Font". For example, punctuation is only displayed in punctuation glyphs. Math Symbols restricts the selection to mathematical symbols.
Rerolling
Rerolling is the process of creating an account on a different account to increase your chances of acquiring the character or weapon you'd like. This can be done increase your level faster, or to gain better loot such as a new weapon for your character. Many players will reroll until they have the characters that they like regardless of their strength. This can be because they like the design or personality.
When you reroll, you need be sure that the changes you're making are clear. You should check locally if the patch passes the pre-commit test and run a core dev test. The patch should be uploaded with a plain difference to a problem (see What is an interdiff?) ).
Rerolls can take days or even weeks to complete, based on the luck you have. During this period, you should avoid any optional enemy camps to cut down on time. You should also avoid re-doing quests that can be completed later on in the game. This will save time and energy.
Another important aspect to consider when rerolling is to make sure that you are aware of the upgrade system. There are a variety of ways to boost your character's power and appearance. This includes upgrading your weapons or characters, rerolling them and purchasing upgrades. In addition, it is crucial to be aware of the limitations of the upgrade system.
Rerolling might not be necessary but it's an effective way to increase your chances of getting an item or character. It could be beneficial when you're trying to find the most effective character or if you're wanting to test different play styles and builds.
Sets
A set is a collection of objects with common-2 attributes (like the number of eggs in a dozen or the members of the class). Sets can be used for operations like union, intersection and distinction.
Upgrades can make a set more effective than it was prior to. For weapons and armor this means that it gets an increased base defense value as well as a lower strength requirement and a lower requirement for level.
Upgrades can bring well-known items from single sets up to the same level as those in higher-end sets. For instance upgrading Guillaume's Face helm to an Elite Spired Helm can increase the defense from 217 to 321 while also reducing the strength requirement and level requirement to a more attainable range.
However it's important to keep in mind that not all set items are suitable candidates for upgradation. Some sets, such as the FB Sorc Whistan's Shield spec or Naj's Puzzler staff are already exceptional and elite in their own right and do not require any upgrades. On the other hand, certain items that are BiS and are used frequently (like Goldwrap) may benefit from being upgraded to improve their performance even more. For such items, it could be worth the extra cost to upp them.
