How to Upgrade Items in Pokemon GO
Upgrade is one of the most sought-after items in Pokemon GO. It allows trainers to evolve Porygon2 into Porygon and advance in their Pokedex.
It is a rare item, but can be found by spinning a Photo Disc at a Pokestop, or as a prize for special events. But what exactly does this item actually do?
Components
Upgrade components can be added to weapons, trinkets or gathering tools to confer an added benefit. They are a crucial component of crafting and can be obtained through salvaging or purchased from vendors. They can also be found in the form of drops in the game dropped by enemies or gathered from spheres of items. They can be used to upgrade any weapon or armor with an upgrade slot.
Using upgrade components to maximize the experience gained when upgrading gear and weapons is key to achieving the highest level of progression in the game. The addition of organic components to an upgraded item will increase the multiplier of experience, whereas mechanical components will reduce it. The best combination is a high experience-multiplier organic component followed by a low-experience-multiplier mechanical component. This will increase the amount of experience you acquire and help you get to the next level.
It's essential to know how the upgrade system works to maximize the benefits of your upgrades. The system keeps a running total of experience for the item you're upgrading. Each component has an multiplier of experience that can be positive or negative. When the total reaches an amount that is certain then it's reset to zero.
Additionally, the amount of experience gained from each upgrade component is influenced by the rank of the item being upgraded and its experience multiplier. The higher-ranked items will be more difficult to upgrade whereas those with lower ranks are less difficult to obtain.
When a new hardware upgrade is installed, it's important to remove all existing connections and fasteners that held the old component in place. Save them for later use in the parts tray for quick identification and secure storage. Reconnect item upgrades and cables, and connect the power source. Test the computer by turning it on. If everything is connected correctly the computer should start up normally. This is a vital step to ensure the new hardware will work seamlessly with your existing system.
Glyphs
Glyphs can be a great tool to improve your gear, but you must know how to use it. Each glyph has a range of values that it can enhance the substatus of and higher-rank Glyphs have higher-quality values. Choose wisely since you can only upgrade Glyphs once. Glyphs are only available once, so they'll disappear after you have used them on an item or artifact.
The most effective symbols are those that increase the probability of rolling an affix that matches the desired level. These are usually found on the top weapons and armor, as well as on accessories. They can also be found on the Paragon Board. They are worth the extra effort but can be difficult to obtain.
You can find Glyphs in the Black Lion Chests or purchase them from the Trading Post. Certain glyphs are only used once, while others will remain in their original position. These are ideal for items that have to be used frequently. The Glyph of Hope allows you to increase your chances of obtaining an affix you want by making an item appear magical.
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 example transforms a prefix into an experimental affix. This is a great tool for those who want an excellent affix for a certain slot or you need to maximize damage output.
Once you've reached level 50, the nature of the game dramatically changes. Instead of having to rely on the campaign, you'll have to navigate the intricate Paragon Board, Nightmare Dungeons and new grinds in order to ensure that your character is as efficient as it can be.
The most effective glyphs are ones that match your character's type for example, the Exploit Glyph, which boosts the damage dealt to enemies who are vulnerable. Other useful glyphs include the Control Glyph, which boosts the damage dealt to enemies who are stunned, frozen or reduced. Each glyph has a radius, and the radius grows as you upgrade the glyph. This makes glyphs a great way to improve your gear in the late game.
Reroll tokens
A reroll token is an upgrade item that lets players alter one of the attributes of an item. You can do this in the item's window by selecting an item, and then clicking an orange button with the arrows that circle. The cost of an reroll is determined based on the rarity of the item.
Reroll tokens can be found in the Mystery Box, as a rare drop from skulled creatures, or bought from the Trader. They can also be obtained through Events Items and may be gifted from other players. They can be used to roll weapons, rings, and armors in increments of two. Each reroll token allows players to roll for a new attribute which could be higher or lower than the previous one.
The reroll token is not just used to upgrade the reroll however, it can also be recycled to reuse items. The rarity of the item determines the amount of points players will receive for recycling it. This is a great way to dispose of old obsolete equipment that hasn't been upgraded.
The rerolling token may be used to give a new weapon trait. The player can accept or deny these traits. The player is able to offer up to six items at once and the number of choices increases as the item's level and rarity rise. This option can be accessed via the Upgrade tab on the forge.
A reroll token can also be used to reroll an item's set bonus that is triggered when three or more items from the same set are equipped on a unit. The set bonus can only be applied to units that belong to the same class. It is not applicable to other classes.
Other upgrades, like recipe items, can also be changed. These are not offered by the shop or rerolling, but are instead transferred to the Non-droppable Pool when players choose a Food Card that requires new ingredients or Equipment. Reroll tokens can be used to reroll the extra bonuses associated with these items however the base stats and levels (including any upgrades) remain the same.
Leveling
In the game, players are able to upgrade their equipment using an item upgrade item. These items can be crafted by obtaining the required ingredients from NPCs that can upgrade items located in major cities. After an item is upgraded, its base stats will be enhanced. Some affixes can also be modified. This could result in an increase in the value of an item's ilvl.
When an item is upgraded, it will have an icon of blue in its top-left corner. The item will also display a number below its maximum level. A higher number of upgrades will increase the item's max level. Players can upgrade items as many times as they want. This allows the player to reach breakpoints for gears that increase the chances of rerolling 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 that are then redeemed by the item upgrader NPC to earn currency. The upgrader will display a preview of an item's new level and accept either Happy Tickets or Happy Stars to complete the upgrade. Materials used to make the upgrade will be lost, but 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 has a very low probability of appearing during spinning Pokestops or Gyms. Players can use an Upgrade to evolve the Porygon into the form of a Porygon2, who will consume the item.
The Upgrade is a new feature that was introduced in Generation II. Silph Co. produces a transparent device that holds all kinds of data. It is used to help certain Pokemon species evolve, and can be triggered when traded while holding the Link Cable or Porygon. It is a very rare item that has an 1% drop rate per spin at Pokestops and Gyms. You can also get it by finishing the Upgrade Station Event.
