Pokemon GO Upgrade Items and Components
An upgrade item is an item that makes certain Pokemon evolve. The Upgrade is obtained by spinning a PokeStop photo disc. It's often given as a prize in Pokemon GO events.
The Upgrade can also be put in weapons, armor trinkets, gathering tools and trinkets to increase the level of their item. The upgrade costs Flightstones and crests, based on the kind of item.
Upgrade components
Upgrade components can be placed into armor, weapons trinkets, trinkets, or gathering tools to give bonus effects or attributes when the equipment is utilized. Upgrade components can only be used on equipment with an upgrade slot. The majority of upgrade components require that the item being upgraded is at a certain level. Some upgrade items also have special visual effects when they are added to an equipment piece. Upgrade components can be acquired through crafting, bought from karma merchants or exchanged with other players on the Trading Post, salvaged from equipment, or as rewards in games.
There are various upgrade components, each with a different bonus. item upgrade as gems and inscriptions are able to be used on any type of equipment. They provide fewer bonuses than the other types of upgrade component. Infusions are used in non-amulet ascended equipment as well as legendary equipment, and enrichments are used to upgrade certain items that are ascended back. The majority of upgrade components can be replaced if they are slotted into an item, but doing so will destroy the previous upgrade. Exceptions are glyphs (which can only be used in gathering tools) and enchantments, which are able to be removed and then reinserted.
Insignias Enchantments, insignias, and upgrades with prefixes or suffixes will be displayed in the hover display of the item while they are added to the equipment's name (e.g. an Radiant Insignia would change the name to Radiant Tyrian Armor). The tooltip of an item will display the number of upgrades that have been added to it.
Glyphs
Glyphs can be used to add decorative and functional elements to an OpenType font. They include ligatures, fractions or ornaments as well as registered trademark symbols, ellipses and swashes as well as swashes. The Glyphs panel allows you to view and insert these special characters, as well as regular glyphs like em dashes, en dashes, registered trademark symbols and glyphs that do not appear in other fonts (such as dingbats).
Each Glyph provides a character with a boost in primary stats. It also includes up to four secondary stats that affect the glyph's radius on your Paragon Board. Secondary Stats are a percentage increase that is multiplied by additional bonuses, excluding Speed Glyphs that directly increase the hero’s speed.
Selecting the Glyphs and clicking "enchant" will activate them. This will display a new window with the Glyphs you have available that can be applied to the selected item. Be aware that only the correct type of Glyph can be applied to the selected item and every weapon, jewelry or armor piece may have distinct sets of Glyphs.
Glyphs can be improved by completing Nightmare Dungeons or completing Tree of Whisper quests. The more challenging the dungeon, the higher the amount of Glyph experience you'll get. Once a Glyph attains level 15 and is upgraded, it can be upgraded at the Glyph Upgrade Altar. The upgrade of a Glyph increases its radius on the Paragon Board by one node every 15 levels.
When a Glyph is at the desired level, you can activate it. Select it, then click the "enchant button". The resulting Glyph will give its stated benefit, and will also increase the number of nodes within its range on the Paragon Board. It's important to place Glyphs where they will be most beneficial to your build, and this is why it's recommended to prioritize Magic Glyphs early on. Rare glyphs, however, could offer double bonuses when certain conditions are met, so they're worth looking out for too.
Click the cycle widget to change the view of the Glyphs Panel. Each of these views displays the Glyphs using a different font. You can narrow down the list of glyphs further by choosing an option below "Entire Font": for instance, punctuation shows only punctuation glyphs; Math Symbols narrows the choice to mathematical symbols.
Rerolling
Rerolling is the process by which you create a new account to give yourself more chances to pull an item or character you are interested in. This can help you level up faster or to gain better loot, like an improved weapon for your current character. A lot of players will play until the character they desire is available, regardless of its ability. It could be that they like the style or personality of the character.
You should ensure that you make clean changes when you reroll. You should test locally if the patch passes the pre-commit test and run a core dev test. You should upload the patch with a plain difference to an issue (see What is an interdiff?) ).
Rerolls may take days or weeks, depending on how lucky you are. During this time, it is recommended to avoid enemy camps that are optional to save time. It is also recommended to avoid repeating quests that can be completed later on in the game. This will save you time and energy.
When you reroll, it is essential to be aware the upgrade system. There are many ways to improve your character's appearance and strength. These can include upgrading your weapons as well as rerolling your characters and purchasing upgrades. It is also crucial to know the limitations of the system.
Rerolling may not be a necessity, but it is a way to increase your chances of getting an item or character. It can be helpful in the case of trying to find the most effective character in the game or if you're looking to test different builds and play styles.
Sets
A set is an object collection that has 2 common attributes (like the number or eggs in a dozen, or the members of a group). Sets allow for operations like union, intersection, and difference.
If you upgrade a set item, it becomes an entirely new version that is better than the previous version. For weapons and armor this means it will gain an increase in the base defense and a lower strength requirement and a lower requirement for level.
Upgrades are an excellent way to bring popular single-set items to level with their higher-tiered set counterparts. For instance, upgrading Guillaume's Face Helm to Elite Spired Helm can increase the defense from 217 to 321 while reducing the strength requirement and level requirement to a more attainable range.
It is important to keep in mind that not all items in a set can be upgraded. 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 need upgrading. Certain items, like Goldwrap and Whistan's Shield (both BiS) that are frequently used may be benefited by an upgrade to improve their performance. It may be worth it to upgrade these items.
