How to Upgrade Items in Pokemon GO

Upgrade is among the most prized items in Pokemon GO. It lets trainers transform Porygon into Porygon2 and gives them a chance to advance in their Pokedex.

While this item is quite uncommon, players can get it by spinning a photo disc at a Pokestop or as a reward for special occasions. What 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 a vital element in crafting and can be found through salvaging or purchased from vendors. They can also be found in the form of drops, whether from enemies or in item spheres. They can be used to upgrade any weapon or armor with an upgrade slot.

To achieve the highest amount of progress in the game, it is essential to use upgrade components to maximize experience gained when upgrading gear and weapons. Incorporating organic components into an upgraded item will increase the item's multiplier of experience, whereas mechanical components will decrease its. The best combination is a high experience-multiplier organic component followed by a low-experience-multiplier mechanical component. This will maximize your experience gains and allow you to progress to the next level of weapon or equipment a lot easier to achieve.

It's essential to know how the upgrade system works to maximize the benefits of your upgrades. The system keeps a running total of the component you are upgrading. Each component has a positive or negative experience multiplier, and when the total is at a certain level then it's reset to zero.

The amount of experience gained from each upgrade component could be affected by the item's hidden rank and its multiplier of experience. The items with higher ranks will be more difficult to upgrade, while the lower-ranked ones are easier to acquire.

If a new version of the hardware is installed, it's essential to carefully remove all connections and fasteners that hold the old component in place. Save them for later use in an inventory tray for easy identification and safe-keeping. Reconnect all wires and cables, and connect the power supply. Then check the computer by switching it on. If everything is connected properly the computer should start up normally. This is a vital step to ensure that the new hardware will function seamlessly with your current system.

Glyphs

Glyphs are an excellent method to make your equipment better, but you have be aware of how to use them correctly. Each glyph has a variety of values that it can enhance a substat by, and higher-rank Glyphs have more powerful values. You can only upgrade a glyph only once, so make sure you pick wisely. Glyphs are only available once, which means they will vanish after you've used them on an object or artifact.

The most effective glyphs are those which increase your chances to roll an affix that is of the desired type or tier. They are usually found on the top weapons, armor, and accessories. You can also find them on the Paragon Board. They are worth the extra effort but aren't always easy to locate.

You can find Glyphs in the Black Lion Chests or purchase them from the Trading Post. Certain glyphs are available for use only once and others are permanent. These are great for items that have to be re-rolled 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.

Certain glyphs can also be used to modify existing affixes. This is often seen on gloves and boots. Each can be home to four different affixes. The Glyph of Insight, for instance, changes a prefix into an experimental affix. This is a great tool to have if you want to maximize the damage output or you want to ensure you'll get a high-quality affix for a specific slot.

After you reach the age of 50, the game changes drastically. Instead of relying on the campaign, you'll need to navigate the complex Paragon Board, Nightmare Dungeons and new grinds to ensure that your character is as efficient as it can be.

The most effective glyphs are ones that are compatible with your character's type for example, the Exploit Glyph, which boosts damage to vulnerable enemies. Control Glyph is another good glyph that increases damage to enemies that are stunned, frozen, or slowed. Each symbol has a radius and the radius increases when you upgrade it. This makes glyphs the most effective way to improve your gear in the late game.

Reroll tokens

Reroll tokens are an upgrade item that lets players change one of the attributes of an item. This can be done through the item window by selecting an item and pressing an green button that has circling arrows. The cost of the reroll is determined by the rarity of the item.

Reroll tokens are found in the Mystery Box or as rare drops from skulled monsters. They can also be purchased from the Trader. They can also be obtained through Events Items or by receiving them from other players. They can be used to roll weapons, rings, and armors in increments of two. Each token that is rerollable gives players a chance to roll for a new attribute, which could be higher or lower than the previous one.

In addition to being able roll upgrades, the reroll token can also be used to recycle items. Recycling an item gives players a certain amount of points, which will be added to the gauge of level for the item upgrade, depending on its popularity. This is a great way to get rid old equipment that hasn't been upgraded.

The token for rerolling can also be used to provide new weapon characteristics. The player can accept or deny 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 rise. This option is accessible through the Upgrade tab of the forge.

Reroll tokens can also be used to reroll an item's set bonus that is triggered when three or more items from the same set are installed on the unit. The set bonus is only applicable to units that belong to the same class, and cannot be applied to units belonging to different classes.

There are a variety of other upgrade items within the game which can be rerolled for example, the recipe items. These items are not available in the shops or through rerolls, but instead are transferred to the non-droppable Pool when players select a Food Card that requires new ingredients or equipment. The reroll token can be used to reroll these additional bonuses, however the base stats (including all upgrades) and level remain the same.

Leveling

In the game, you can upgrade your equipment by using item upgrades. These items can be crafted by gathering the required ingredients from the item upgrader NPCs found in major cities. After an item has been upgraded, it will get an additional bonus to its base stats. Certain affixes may also be changed. This could result in an increase of a significant amount in an item's value.

If an item is upgraded it will display a blue icon in its top-left corner. The item will also display an amount of upgrades below its maximum level. A greater number of upgrades will boost the item's maximum level. A player can upgrade items as many times as they want. This allows them to hit gear breakpoints that increase the reroll chance of certain attachments.

Item upgrading provides players with the ability to upgrade the level of weapons, helms, and armor. The process involves the purchase of items, which are redeemed at the item upgrader NPC to exchange them for currency. The upgrader will provide a preview of the item at its new level and will accept Happy Stars or Happy Tickets to complete the upgrade. Materials used to make the upgrade will be destroyed, however the upgraded item will retain its Item EXP to allow for future upgrades.

There is no way of ensuring that an Upgrade will appear, but it has the lowest chance of appearing when spinning Pokestops or Gyms. Players can even use an upgrade on a Porygon to evolve it into the form of a Porygon2 that will consume the item.

The Upgrade is a new feature that was introduced in Generation II. It's a transparent gadget filled with all kinds of data, produced by Silph Co. It is used to help certain Pokemon species change, and is activated when trading while holding the Link Cable or Porygon. It is a rare item with an 1% drop rate per spin at Pokestops and Gyms. It is also available by taking part in the Upgrade Station Event.
