How to Upgrade Items in Pokemon GO

Upgrade is one of the most prized items in Pokemon GO. It lets trainers transform Porygon into Porygon2 and allows them to progress in their Pokedex.

It is a rare item, but can be found by spinning a Photo Disc at a Pokestop or as a prize during special occasions. But what does this item actually do?

Components

Upgrade components can be added to weapons, trinkets or gathering tools to give them an additional benefit. They are an essential component for crafting. They can be gathered through salvaging or purchased from vendors. They can also be found as drops, either from enemies or item spheres. They can be used to upgrade any weapon or armor that has an upgrade slot.

To make the most level of progress in the game, it is important to use upgrade components to maximize experience gained by upgrading weapons and gear. The addition of organic components to an upgraded item will increase its experience multiplier, while 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 maximize your experience and make the next level of weapon or equipment much easier to attain.

It's important to know how the upgrade system functions to get the most out of your upgrades. The system keeps a running total of experience for the component you're upgrading. Each component has an experience multiplier that could be negative or positive. When the total is at the threshold then it's reset to zero.

Additionally the amount of experience gained from every upgrade component is affected by the hidden rank of the item being upgraded and its multiplier of experience. This means that higher-ranked items are more difficult to upgrade, while less ranked items are easier to reach.

When a new upgrade to your hardware is installed, it's essential to carefully remove all connections and fasteners that hold the old component in place. Keep them in an inventory tray to facilitate identification and storage. Connect all wires and cables, and connect the power supply. Then, test the computer by turning it on. If everything is connected correctly the computer will boot up normally. This is an important step to ensure that the new hardware is compatible with your existing systems and will work seamlessly.

Glyphs

Glyphs are a great way to make your gear better, but you have to know how to use them properly. Each glyph can be used to improve a substat, and the higher the rank of a glyph, the more powerful it becomes. You can only upgrade a Glyph once, so make sure you choose carefully. Glyphs can also be used only once and disappear when you use them on an object or artifact.

The most effective glyphs are those that increase the chance to roll an affix of the desired type or Item upgrades tier. They are typically found on the best weapons, armor, and accessories. They can also be found on the Paragon Board and are usually worth the extra effort, however they can be difficult to find.

You can find Glyphs in the Black Lion Chests or purchase them from the Trading Post. Some glyphs are one-time use and others are permanent. The latter are ideal for items that need to be re-rolled often. The Glyph of Hope, for example, allows you to increase the probability of acquiring a certain symbol when you are enchanting items.

Certain glyphs can also be used to change existing affixes. This is typically seen on boots, gloves, and belts, each is capable of holding four different affixes. The Glyph of Insight, for instance, changes the prefix to an experimental affix. This is a great tool if you are looking for a high-quality affix in the specific slot or wish to maximize the damage output.

When you reach the level 50, the shape of the game changes dramatically. You'll not be able to rely on the campaign. Instead, you will have to navigate the Paragon Board, Nightmare Dungeons and grinds that are new to maximize your game.

The best glyphs are the ones that correspond to your character's class for example, the Exploit Glyph that increases damage to vulnerable enemies. Other useful glyphs include the Control Glyph, which boosts the damage dealt to enemies who are frozen, stunned or slowed. Each glyph has its own radius, that increases as it's upgraded. This makes glyphs a great method to upgrade your gear in the final game.

Reroll tokens

Reroll tokens are upgrades which allow players to alter the attribute of an item. This can be done through the item window by selecting an item and then pressing an green button that has circling arrows. The cost of rerolling is contingent on the rarity of the item upgrader mod.

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

In addition to being able to upgrade rerolls Reroll tokens can also be used to recycle items. The rarity of the item determines how many points that players can earn for recycling it. This is a good way to dispose of old, unneeded equipment that hasn't yet been upgraded.

The rerolling token could be used to provide a new weapon trait. The player can choose to accept or item upgrades deny these traits. The player is able to offer up to six items at one time, and the options increase as the item's rarity and level increases. This option can be accessed through the Upgrade tab on the forge.

A reroll token can also be used to reroll an item's set bonus which is granted when three or more items from the same set are installed on an item. The set bonus can only be applied to units that belong to the same class. It is not applicable to other classes.

There are also a number of other upgrade items within the game which can be rerolled for example, the recipes. These are not offered by the shop or reroll, but instead transferred to the non-droppable Pool when players select an item from the Food Card that requires new ingredients or equipment. Reroll tokens can be used to reroll these extra bonuses, however the base stats (including all upgrades) and level remain the same.

Leveling

In the game, you are able to upgrade your equipment with item upgrades. These items can be crafted by obtaining the required ingredients from the item upgrader NPCs located in major cities. Once an item is upgraded, it will get a bonus to its base stats. In addition, some affixes may be changed. This could give an increase in an item's ilvl.

When an item is upgraded it will display an icon of blue in its upper-left corner. The item will also show an amount of upgrades below its maximum level. A higher number of upgrades will increase the item's maximum level. Players can upgrade items as many times as they wish. This allows them to hit gear breakpoints, which increase the reroll chance of certain attachments.

The upgrade feature for items lets players upgrade the level and quality of their helmets, weapons and armor. This process requires items that can later be redeemed by the item upgrader NPC for currency. The upgrader will show an image of the item upgrader kit's new status and will accept Happy Stars or Happy Tickets to complete the upgrade. The item used as materials will be lost, but the upgraded item will be able to keep its Item EXP to allow for future upgrades.

There is no way to ensure that an Upgrade will show up however, it is a very low probability of appearing while spinning Pokestops or Gyms. Players can use an upgrade to transform a Porygon into the form of a Porygon2, who will consume the item.

The Upgrade is a special evolution item from the Pokemon series, introduced in Generation II. It is a transparent device filled with all kinds of information, manufactured by Silph Co. It is used to make certain Pokemon species grow, and is triggered when traded while holding a Link Cable or Porygon. It is a rare item, with a 1% probability of dropping per spin from Pokestops and Gyms. It can also be obtained by finishing the Upgrade Station event.
