How to Upgrade Items in Pokemon GO
Upgrade is among the most sought-after items of Pokemon GO. It lets trainers transform Porygon into Porygon2 and it also gives them a chance to grow in their Pokedex.
While it is rare, players can find it by spinning the photo disc at a Pokestop or as a reward during some special occasions. What does this item actually do?
Components
Upgrade components are things that can be incorporated into trinkets, weapons or gathering tools to provide an added bonus or effect when the item is utilized. They are an essential component in the crafting process. They are obtainable through salvaging or purchased 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 that has an upgrade slot.
Utilizing upgrade components to maximize the experience gained from upgrading equipment and weapons is key to achieving the highest level of progress in the game. The addition of organic components to an upgraded item will increase the multiplier of experience, whereas mechanical components will decrease it. The best combination is a high experience-multiplier organic component followed by a low-experience-multiplier mechanical component. This will enhance the experience you acquire and help you get to the next level.
It's important to know how the upgrade system works to maximize the benefits of your upgrades. The system keeps an ongoing total of experience for the component you're upgrading. Each component has an experience multiplier that can be positive or negative. When the total is at a certain threshold the system resets it to zero.
The amount of experience gained by each upgrade component could be influenced by the item's hidden rank as well as its multiplier of experience. This means that higher-ranked items are more difficult to upgrade, whereas lower-ranked items are easier to upgrade.
If a new version of the hardware is installed, it's crucial to carefully remove all existing connections and fasteners holding the old component in place. Keep them in a parts tray to aid in identification and storage. Reconnect all cables and wires, and connect the power source. Then, test the computer by turning 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 current systems and will operate seamlessly.
Glyphs
Glyphs can be a great tool to improve your equipment but you must understand how to use it. Each glyph comes with a range of values it can boost the substatus of increasing its rank, and higher-ranking Glyphs have higher-quality values. You can only upgrade a Glyph once, so make sure you choose carefully. Glyphs can only be used only once, and 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 that is of the desired tier or type. They are usually found on the best weapons, armor, and accessories. They can also be found on the Paragon Board. They are worth the extra effort but can be difficult to obtain.
Glyphs are available in the Black Lion Chests, or purchased from the Trading Post. Certain glyphs are available for use only once, while others are permanent. The latter are ideal for items that must be re-rolled frequently. The Glyph of Hope, for instance, lets you increase the probability of acquiring a certain symbol when you are enchanting items.
Some glyphs can also be used to modify existing affixes. This is most common on boots, gloves, and belts, each is capable of holding four different affixes. The Glyph of Insight, for instance, changes the prefix to an experimental affix. This is a helpful tool for those who want an affix that is of high-quality in a certain slot or you want to maximize damage output.
Once you've reached level 50, the shape of the game shifts dramatically. Instead of relying on the campaign, you'll have to navigate the complicated Paragon Board, Nightmare Dungeons and new grinds in order to ensure that your build is as perfect as you can get it.
The most effective glyphs will be ones that are compatible with your character's type, such as the Exploit Glyph, which increases damage to enemies who are vulnerable. Other good glyphs include the Control Glyph, which boosts damage to enemies that are frozen, stunned, or slowed. Each glyph has a radius, and the radius grows when you upgrade it. This makes glyphs the best method to upgrade your gear in the late game.
Reroll tokens
Reroll tokens are an upgrade item that lets players alter one of the attributes of an item. This can be done in the item window by selecting an item and then pressing the green button, which is accompanied by circling arrows. The cost of rerolling is contingent upon the rarity of the item.
Reroll tokens can be found in the Mystery Box, as a rare drop from skulled creatures or purchased from the Trader. They are also obtained through Event Items and are also available from other players. They can be used for rerolling rings, armors, and weapons in increments of 2. Each reroll token gives players the chance to roll for a new attribute that could be higher or lower than the previous one.
In addition being able to reroll upgrades, the reroll token can also be used to recycle items. The rarity of the item determines the number of points that players can earn for recycling it. This is a good way to dispose of old, useless equipment that isn't upgraded.
The token for rerolling can also be used to offer new weapon traits. These are shown to the player, who has the option to choose whether or not. The player is able to offer up to six items at one time, and the options increase depending on the rarity of the item and level increases. This option is accessible by clicking the Upgrade tab on the forge.
A reroll token can also be used to reroll an item's set bonus which is granted when three or more items from the same set are installed on the unit. The set bonus applies only to units that are part of the same class, and cannot be applied to units that belong to different classes.
There are also a number of other upgrade items in the game which can be rerolled such as the recipes. These items are not available in the shop or via Rerolls, but rather are transferred to the non-droppable Pool when players choose an item on a Food Card requiring new Ingredients or equipment. Reroll tokens can be used to reroll the additional bonuses that these items offer 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 item upgrades. These items can be created by obtaining the ingredients needed from NPCs who are item upgrader s in major cities. Once an item is upgraded, it will get a bonus to its base stats. Some affixes can also be rerolled. This could give a significant boost to an item's ilvl.
When an item is upgraded it will show an icon of blue in its upper-left corner. The item will also display a number below its maximum level. The item's maximum level will increase if there's more upgrades. 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 affixes.
The feature of upgrading items lets players upgrade the quality and level of helmets, weapons, and armor. The process involves the purchase of items that can later be redeemed by the upgrader NPC to earn currency. The upgrader will show an image of the 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 destroyed, however the upgraded item will keep its Item EXP for further upgrades.
Although there isn't a 100% sure method of obtaining an Upgrade, it does have a very low chance of being lost when spinning Pokestops or Gyms. Players can even use an upgrade on an existing Porygon to evolve it into a Porygon2 that will consume the item.
The Upgrade is an evolution item that was introduced in Generation II. Silph Co. produces a transparent device that contains all kinds of data. It is a tool to develop certain Pokemon species and is activated when traded with a Link Cable. It is a very rare item with a 1% drop rate per spin at Pokestops and Gyms. You can also obtain it by finishing the Upgrade Station Event.
