How to Upgrade Items in Pokemon GO
The Upgrade is among the most important items in Pokemon GO. It lets trainers evolve Porygon into Porygon2 and allows them to advance in their Pokedex.
This item is scarce, however it can be obtained by spinning a Photo Disk at a Pokestop or as a prize for special events. But what exactly does this item actually do?
Components
Upgrade components are objects that can be slotted into trinkets, weapons, or gathering tools in order to give an added bonus or effect while the item is being used. They are an essential component of crafting and can be obtained by salvaging or bought from vendors. They can also be found in the form of drops, either from enemies or in item spheres. They can be used to upgrade weapons or armor through an upgrade slot.
Utilizing upgrade components to maximize the amount of experience gained when upgrading gear and weapons is key to achieving the highest level of progress in the game. Adding organic components to an upgraded item will increase the experience multiplier, 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 learning experience you get and help you get to the next level.
It's important to know how the upgrade system functions to get the most out of your upgrades. The system keeps a running total for the item you're upgrading. Each component has an experience multiplier that could be negative or positive. When the total reaches a certain threshold the system resets it to zero.
In addition, the amount of experience gained from each upgrade component is determined by the hidden rank of the item that is upgraded and its experience multiplier. This means that the higher-ranked items are more difficult to upgrade, whereas lower-ranked items are simpler to achieve.
If a new version of the hardware is installed, it's important to carefully remove all existing connections and fasteners holding the old component in place. Save them in a parts tray to make identification and storage easier. 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 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 method to make your equipment more efficient, but you need to be able to utilize them correctly. Each glyph comes with a range of values it can improve the substatus by increasing its rank, and higher-ranking Glyphs have higher-quality values. You can only upgrade a Glyph once, so choose carefully. Glyphs are also only available once which means they are gone after you have used them on an artifact or item.
The most useful glyphs are the ones that increase your chance to roll an affix of the desired type or tier. These are usually found on the best weapons and armor, as well as on accessories. They can also be found on the Paragon Board and are usually worth the effort, but they can be difficult to locate.
Glyphs can be found in the Black Lion Chests, or purchased at the Trading Post. Certain glyphs are only used once, whereas others remain in place. These are ideal for items that have to be rerolled often. The Glyph of Hope allows you to increase your chances of getting an affix that is specific by making an item appear magical.
Some glyphs can be used to alter existing affixes. This is often seen on boots and gloves. Each can be home to four different affixes. The Glyph of Insight, for instance, changes a prefix into an experimental affix. This is a helpful tool for those who want an excellent affix for the specified slot or want to maximize damage output.
Once you reach level 50, the nature of the game shifts dramatically. Instead of having to rely on the campaign, you'll have to navigate the intricate Paragon Board, Nightmare Dungeons and new grinds to ensure that your game is as optimal as possible.
The most effective glyphs are ones that are compatible with your character class for example, the Exploit Glyph that increases the damage dealt to enemies who are vulnerable. Other excellent glyphs include Control Glyph, which boosts damage to enemies that are frozen, stunned, or slowed. Each glyph has its own radius which grows as it is upgraded. This makes glyphs an excellent way to upgrade your gear later in the game.
Reroll tokens
Reroll tokens are upgrade items that allow players to alter an attribute on an item. This can be done through the item window by selecting an item and pressing the green button, which is accompanied by circling 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 through Events Items or by obtaining them from other players. They can be used to reroll weapons, armors, and rings in increments of two. Each token that is rerollable allows players to roll for a new attribute that could be higher or lower than the previous one.
The token for rerolling is not only used to upgrade the reroll and upgrade, but it can also be used to reuse items. The rarity of the item determines how many points that players can earn for recycling it. This is a great method to get rid of old, unneeded equipment that hasn't yet been upgraded.
The rerolling token could be used to provide the player a new weapon characteristic. The player is able to accept or decline these traits. The player can offer a total of six items at a time and the variety of choices increases as the item's level and rarity increase. This option is available through the Upgrade tab of the forge.
Reroll tokens can also be used to roll the set bonus of an item. It is triggered when three or more items from the same set are equipped to a unit. The set bonus only applies to units that belong to the same class and cannot be applied to units that belong to different classes.
There are a variety of other upgrade items in the game that can be rerolled, like the recipe items. These aren't offered by the shop or reroll, but are instead transferred to the Non-droppable Pool when players select the Food Card that requires new ingredients or equipment. Reroll tokens can be used to reroll the extra bonuses associated with these items however, the basic stats and levels (including all upgrades) will remain the same.
Leveling
In the game, players have the ability to improve their equipment with an item upgrade item. They can be created by obtaining the necessary ingredients from NPCs that can upgrade items found in major cities. After an item has been upgraded, it will be given an additional bonus to its base stats. Certain affixes can be modified. This can result to an increase in the item's level.
If an item is upgraded it will have a blue icon in its top-left corner. The item will also display a number lower than its maximum level. The item's maximum level will increase if there are more upgrades. item upgrades can upgrade an item in as many times as they like. This allows them to reach gear breakpoints that increases the chance of rerolling certain affixes.
Upgrades to items give players the ability to increase the level of their weapons as well as helms and armor. The process involves the purchase of items, which can be exchanged at the upgrader NPC in exchange for currency. The upgrader will display a preview of an item's new level and will accept either Happy Tickets or Happy Stars to complete the upgrade. The item used for materials will be destroyed. However, the upgraded item will be able to keep Item EXP in order to upgrade it further.
There is no way to ensure that an Upgrade will be revealed, but 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 an evolution product that was introduced in Generation II. Silph Co. produces a transparent device that contains all kinds of information. It can be used to help Pokemon species evolve, and can be triggered when traded while holding the Link Cable or Porygon. It is a very rare item that has a 1% drop rate per spin at Pokestops and Gyms. It can also be obtained by completing the Upgrade Station event.
