How to Upgrade Items in Pokemon GO
Upgrade is one of the most sought-after items of Pokemon GO. It lets trainers evolve Porygon into Porygon2 and gives them the chance to progress in their Pokedex.
This item is scarce, but can be found by spinning a Photo Disk at a Pokestop or as a prize at special events. What can this item do?
Components
Upgrade components can be added to trinkets, weapons or gathering tools in order to confer an added benefit. They are an essential component in the crafting process. They can be gathered by salvaging or buying from vendors. They can also be found as drops, either from enemies or from item spheres. They can be used to upgrade any weapon or armor with an upgrade slot.
To get the highest amount of progress in the game, it's essential to use upgrade components to maximize the amount of experience gained when upgrading weapons and gear. The multiplier of experience for an upgraded item is increased by adding organic components, whereas mechanical components decrease it. The best combination is a high experience-multiplier organic component followed by a low-experience-multiplier mechanical component. This will maximize the learning experience you get and make it easier to reach the next level.
The upgrade system is a bit complicated and it's essential to understand how it works to benefit the most from your upgrades. The system operates by keeping the experience total in a continuous manner for the product you're upgrading. Each component has an multiplier of experience that can be either positive or negative. When the total reaches an amount that is certain, it is reset to zero.
The amount of experience gained from every upgrade component can be influenced by the item's hidden rank and its experience multiplier. The items with higher ranks will be more difficult to upgrade while lower-ranked items are simpler to acquire.
When a new upgrade to your hardware is installed, it's important to carefully remove all connections and fasteners that hold the old component in place. Keep them in a parts tray for easy identification and safe-keeping. Connect all wires and cables, and connect the power source. Then check the computer by switching it on. If everything is connected correctly the computer will start normally. This is an essential step to ensure that the new hardware will work seamlessly with your current system.
Glyphs
Glyphs can be a great tool to improve your equipment but you must understand how to utilize it. Each glyph can be used to enhance a substat and the higher the rank of a Glyph the more powerful it is. You can only upgrade a glyph only once, so you must make sure you choose carefully. Glyphs can also be used only once, so they disappear after you have used them on an object or artifact.
The most effective symbols are those that increase the chance to roll an affix that is of the desired tier or type. These 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 difficult to locate.
You can find Glyphs in the Black Lion Chests or purchase them from the Trading Post. Some glyphs can only be used once, while others will remain in place. These are ideal for items that must be re-rolled often. The Glyph of Hope allows you to increase your chances of getting an affix you want by making an item appear magical.
Certain glyphs can be used to alter existing affixes. This is common on boots and gloves. Each glyph can hold four different affixes. The Glyph of Insight, for example, transforms the prefix into an experimental affix. This is a fantastic tool to have if you want to maximize the damage output or you want to ensure that you'll receive a top-quality affix for a particular slot.
When you reach the level 50, the nature of the game shifts dramatically. Instead of having to rely on the campaign, you'll have to navigate the complicated Paragon Board, Nightmare Dungeons and new grinds in order to ensure that your character is as perfect as you can get it.
The best glyphs will be ones that are compatible with your character's class, like the Exploit Glyph which increases damage to enemies who are vulnerable. Other good glyphs include the Control Glyph, which boosts the damage dealt to enemies who are stunned, frozen, or slow. Each glyph has its own radius, which grows as it is upgraded. This makes glyphs a great method to upgrade your gear in the late game.
Reroll tokens
Reroll tokens are items for upgrading which allow players to alter the attributes of an item. This can be done through the item window by selecting an item and pressing a green button with circular arrows. The cost of an reroll is determined based on the rarity of the item.
Reroll tokens are found in the Mystery Box or as rare drops from skulled monsters. They can also be bought from the Trader. They can also be obtained via Event Items and may be gifted from other players. They can be used to reroll weapons, armors, and rings in increments of two. Each token that is rerollable gives players the chance to roll for a new attribute, that could be higher or lower than the previous one.
In addition to being able reroll upgrades The token that rerolls upgrades can also be used to recycle items. The rarity of the item determines the amount of points that players can earn for recycling it. This is a great method to get rid old, useless equipment which hasn't been upgraded.
The rerolling token may be used to give a new weapon trait. The player can accept or reject these traits. The player is able to offer up to six items at once and the choices increase depending on the rarity of the item 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. This is applied if three or more items from the same set are equipped onto the unit. The set bonus can only be applied to units belonging to the same class. It cannot be applied to other classes.
Other upgrades, like recipes, can also be Rerolled. These items aren't sold in the shop or via Rerolls, but rather are transferred to the non-droppable Pool whenever players select a Food Card requiring new Ingredients or equipment. Reroll tokens can be used to reroll additional bonuses that these items offer, but the base stats and levels (including any upgrades) remain the same.
Leveling
In the game, you are able to upgrade your equipment with upgrade item s. These items can be made by gathering the required ingredients from the item upgrader NPCs located in major cities. Once an item is upgraded, it will get an additional bonus to its base stats. Certain affixes may also be rerolled. This could result in significant increases to an item's ilvl.
If an item is upgraded, it will show an icon of blue in its upper-left corner. The item will also display a number lower than its maximum level. A higher amount of upgrades will raise the item's max level. The player can upgrade an item as many times as they like. This allows the player to reach gear breakpoints, which increase the reroll chances of certain attachments.
The item upgrading feature lets players upgrade the level and quality of weapons, helmets, and armor. This process costs items, which can be exchanged at the upgrader NPC to exchange for currency. The upgrader will display an image of the item at its new level and accept either Happy Tickets or Happy Stars to complete the upgrade. The item used for materials will be lost, but the upgraded item will retain its Item EXP for further upgrades.
There is no way to ensure that an Upgrade will show up however it has the lowest chance of appearing during spinning Pokestops or Gyms. Players can also make an upgrade on a Porygon to transform it into a Porygon2 which will eat the item.
