It's The Ugly The Truth About Upgrade Item
Pokemon GO Upgrade Items and Components
An upgrade item is a special item that can make certain Pokemon change. The upgrade can be obtained by spinning a PokeStop's photo disc, and is often offered as a reward during Pokemon GO events.
The Upgrade can also be found in armor, weapons, trinkets and gathering tools to boost their level of use. The upgrade costs Flightstones and crests, dependent on the type of item.
Upgrade components
Upgrade components can be inserted into armor, weapons trinkets, trinkets, or gathering tools to give bonus effects or attribute bonuses while the equipment is being used. The equipment that is upgraded must have an upgrade slot to accept the component, and most upgrade components require the item to be upgraded to be at a certain level. Some upgrade items also have special effects when they are added to an equipment piece. Upgrade components are available through crafting, purchased by karma merchants or traded with other players via the Trading Post. They can also be rescued from equipment and redeemed as rewards.
There are different upgrade components, each of which comes with distinct bonuses. Universal upgrades, which include gems and inscriptions, can be used in any type of equipment. They also offer smaller bonuses than other types of upgrade components. Infusions can be utilized on non-amulet and legendary ascended items, while enhancements can be utilized on certain ascended back equipment. Injecting an upgrade component will destroy the previous upgrade. The exceptions are glyphs (which can only be used in gathering tools) and Enchantments, which can be removed and then reinserted.
Insignias or enchantments, as well as prefix/suffix upgrades will be displayed in the hover display of the item, and they will be added to the equipment's name (e.g. an Radiant Insignia would change the name to Radiant Tyrian Armor). The number of upgrades that are added to an equipment piece will be visible in the tooltip of the item.
Glyphs
Glyphs are special characters that can be inserted into an OpenType font to add functional or decorative elements, like ligatures and ornaments, fractions, swashes registered trademark symbols and ellipses. The Glyphs panel lets you look up and insert these unique characters along with normal glyphs, such as em dashes and en dieshes, registered trademark symbols and glyphs that don't appear in other fonts (such as dingbats).
Each Glyph gives a character a boost in primary stats. It also comes with up to four Secondary Stats that affect the glyph's radius on your Paragon Board. Secondary Stats are a percentage boost that is multiplied by additional bonuses, except for Speed Glyphs that directly increase the hero’s speed.
Selecting the Glyphs and clicking "enchant" will activate the Glyphs. This will display a new window with the Glyphs you own that can be applied to the item you have selected. You only need to apply the correct Glyph to the item you have selected. Every weapon or armor piece has its own collection of Glyphs.
Glyphs can be upgraded through the use of Nightmare Dungeons or completing Tree of Whisper quests. The more difficult a dungeon is, the greater Glyph experience you will gain. Once a Glyph reaches level 15, it can be upgraded by the Glyph Upgrade Altar. The Paragon Board's radius increases by one node for each 15 levels that a Glyph is upgraded.
Once a Glyph is leveled up to the desired level you can activate it by selecting it and then clicking the "enchant" button. The resulting glyph will offer the stated bonus and increase the number of nodes within its radius on the Paragon Board. Glyphs should be put in areas that will benefit your building the most. This is why you should prioritise Magic Glyphs as soon as possible. Rare glyphs can also provide double bonuses if certain conditions can be satisfied.
Click the cycle widget to alter the perspective of the Glyphs Panel. Each view shows the Glyphs in different fonts. You can narrow down the selection of glyphs you want to see by selecting an option under "Entire Font". For instance, punctuation only shows punctuation glyphs. Math Symbols limit the choices to mathematical symbols.
Rerolling
Rerolling is a method in which you create a new account to give yourself more chances to access the character or weapon you are interested in. This is done to increase your level faster, or to gain better loot such as an additional weapon for your character. Many players will reroll until they have the characters that they like, regardless of their power. It could be that they like the design or personality of the character.
When you reroll, you have be sure that the changes you are making are clear. This means that you must verify locally that the patch is able to pass the pre-commit checks and conduct a core development check. You should also upload the patch to an issue with an unmodified diff (see What about an interdiff? ).
Rerolls can be weeks or days long, depending on how lucky you are. During this time, you should avoid enemy camps that are optional to avoid wasting time. In addition you should not re-do any quests that are completed later in the game. This can save time and energy.
When you reroll, it is crucial to be aware of the upgrade system. There are a variety of ways to enhance your character's appearance as well as power. These can include upgrading your weapons as well as rerolling your characters and buying upgrades. It is also important to know the limitations of the system.
Rerolling isn't an absolute requirement but it's an option to increase your chances of getting a certain character or weapon. You can use it to determine the best character or to test different styles of play and builds.
Sets
A set is a collection of objects that share common attributes (like the number of eggs in a dozen or the members of a class). Sets are used for operations like intersection, union and distinction.
Upgrades make a set better than before. For armor and weapons this means that it gets an increase in the base defense as well as a lower strength requirement and an lower level requirement.
Upgrading is a great way to bring popular single-set items to level with their higher-tiered set counterparts. Upgrades such as Guillaume's Face Helm to the Elite Spired helmet could increase the defense by 217 to 321 and decrease the strength and levels to an feasible range.
However it's important to remember that not all set items are suitable candidates for upgradation. Some sets, like the FB Sorc Whistan's shield and Naj's puzzlers are Exceptional in their own rights and don't need upgrading. On the other hand, certain items that are BiS and see frequent use (like Goldwrap) may benefit from being upgraded to increase their stats even more. For such products, it might be worth the extra cost to upp them.
