How to Upgrade Items in Pokemon GO
The Upgrade is one the most important features in Pokemon GO. It lets trainers evolve Porygon into Porygon2 and it also gives them a chance to advance in their Pokedex.
It is a rare item, however it can be obtained by spinning a Photo Disk at a Pokestop or as a prize during special events. But what exactly does this
item upgrade actually do?
Components
Upgrade components can be added to weapons, trinkets or gathering tools in order to give them an attribute bonus. They are a vital component of crafting and can be obtained 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 armor or weapons with an upgrade slot.
Using upgrade components to maximize the amount of experience gained from upgrading weapons and gear is key to achieving the highest level of progress in the game. The multiplier of experience for an upgraded item is increased when it is combined with organic components, whereas mechanical components reduce it. The
Best item upgrader combination is a high experience-multiplier organic component followed by a low-experience-multiplier mechanical component. This will maximize your experience and make the next level of weapon or equipment more accessible.
It's important to know how the upgrade system works to maximize the benefits of your upgrades. The system works by keeping the experience total in a continuous manner for the item you're upgrading. Each component has an experience multiplier that can be positive or negative. When the total is at an amount that is certain then it's reset to zero.
Additionally, the amount of experience gained from each upgrade component is determined by the hidden rank of the item being upgraded and its experience multiplier. The items with higher ranks will be more difficult to upgrade whereas those with lower ranks are less difficult to acquire.
When a new upgrade to your hardware is installed, it's essential to remove all existing connections and fasteners holding the old component in place. Keep them in the parts tray for quick identification and secure storage. Connect all wires and cables, and connect the power source. Test the computer by turning on. If everything is connected properly the computer will start normally. This is an important step to ensure that the new hardware is compatible with your current systems and will operate seamlessly.
Glyphs
Glyphs are an excellent way to make your gear more efficient, but you need be aware of how to use them correctly. Each glyph can be used to improve the substatus, and the higher the rank of a Glyph the more powerful it will be. You can only upgrade a glyph once, so pick wisely. Glyphs can also be used only once and disappear when you use them on an object or artifact.
The most useful symbols are those that increase the chance to roll an affix of the desired type or tier. They are typically found on the best weapons, armor, and accessories. They are also available on the Paragon Board and are usually worth the effort, but they may be difficult to find.
You can find Glyphs in the Black Lion Chests or purchase them from the Trading Post. Some glyphs are only available for one-time use some are not, while others are permanently. They are excellent for items that must be rerolled frequently. The Glyph of Hope allows you to increase the chances of obtaining an affix that is specific by creating a magical effect on an item.
Some glyphs can also be used to change existing affixes. This is most common on gloves, boots and belts, which are can accommodate four different affixes. The Glyph of Insight for example transforms a prefix into an experimental affix. This is a helpful tool if you want an excellent affix for a certain slot or you want to maximize damage output.
Once you've reached level 50, the shape of the game changes dramatically. You'll not be able to depend on the campaign. Instead, you will have to navigate the Paragon Board, Nightmare Dungeons and grinds that are new to maximize your build.
The best glyphs are the ones that correspond to your character class, such as the Exploit Glyph, which increases damage to vulnerable enemies. Control Glyph is another good glyph that boosts damage against enemies that are frozen, stunned or slow. Each symbol has a radius and the radius grows as you upgrade it. This makes glyphs an excellent option to upgrade your gear later in the game.
Reroll tokens
Reroll tokens are items for upgrading that allow players to alter an attribute on an item. It is possible to do this within the item window, by selecting an item, and then clicking a green button that has the arrows that circle. The cost of an reroll is determined based on the rarity of the item.
Reroll tokens are available in the Mystery Box, as a rare drop from skulled creatures, or purchased from the Trader. They can also be obtained via Events Items and can be obtained from other players. They can be used for rerolling rings, armors, weapons and other items in increments of 2. Each token rerolls gives players the chance to roll for a new attribute, which could be higher or lower than the previous one.
Reroll tokens are not just used to upgrade rerolls however, it can also be recycled to recycle items. The rarity of the item determines the number of points players will receive for recycling it. This is a good way to get rid of old, useless equipment that hasn't yet been upgraded.
The reroll token can also be used to provide new weapon characteristics. They are then shown to the player, who can choose whether or not. The player is able to offer a total of six items at once and the variety of choices increases as the item's value and rarity rise. This option is accessible via the Upgrade tab on the forge.
Reroll tokens can also be used to roll the set bonus of an item. It can be redeemed if three or more items in the same set are incorporated to an item. The set bonus is only available to units that belong to the same class. It is not applicable to other classes.
Other upgrades, like recipes, can be rerolled. These items are not available in the shop or through Rerolls, but rather are transferred to the non-droppable Pool whenever players select the Food Card requiring new Ingredients or equipment. The reroll token can be used to reroll these additional bonuses, but the base stats (including all upgrades), and level will remain the same.
Leveling
In the game, you are able to upgrade your equipment using
item upgrades. These items can be crafted by obtaining the required ingredients from the item upgrader NPCs found in major cities. After an item is upgraded, its base stats will be increased. Additionally, certain items may be modified. This could give a significant boost to an item's ilvl.
In the upper-left corner an icon in blue will appear when an item has been upgraded. It will also display an amount of upgrades below its maximum level. A higher amount of upgrades will raise the item's max level. The player can upgrade an item in as many times as he wants. This allows the player to reach breakpoints for gears that increase the reroll chances of certain attachments.
The item upgrading feature allows players to upgrade the level and quality of helmets, weapons, and armor. The process involves the purchase of items, which can be redeemed at the item upgrader NPC to exchange them for currency. The upgrader will provide an overview of the
item upgrade's new status and will accept Happy Stars or Happy Tickets to complete the upgrade. The item used as materials will be destroyed, however the upgraded item will retain its Item EXP for further upgrades.
There is no way of ensuring that an Upgrade will show up however, it is an extremely low chance of appearing during spinning Pokestops or Gyms. Players can use an Upgrade to evolve the Porygon into a Porygon2 and consume the item.
