How to Upgrade Items in Pokemon GO
The Upgrade is one the most valuable items in Pokemon GO. It allows trainers the chance to evolve Porygon2 into Porygon, and to improve their Pokedex.
This item is scarce, however it can be obtained by spinning a Photo Disk at a Pokestop or as a prize during special events. But what exactly does this item actually do?
Components
Upgrade components are things that can be incorporated into trinkets, weapons or gathering tools to give an attribute bonus or extra effect while the item is being used. They are an essential component for crafting. They are obtainable by salvaging or buying 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 armor or weapons through an upgrade slot.
To get the highest level of progress in the game, it's crucial to utilize upgrade components to maximize experience gained by upgrading gear and weapons. The addition of organic components to an upgraded item will increase the experience multiplier, while 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 make the next level of weapon or equipment much easier to attain.
It's important to know how the upgrade system works to maximize the benefits of your upgrades. The system operates by keeping a running total of experience for the component you're upgrading. Each component has an experience multiplier that could be either positive or negative. When the total is at a certain threshold, it is reset to zero.
In addition, the amount of experience gained from each upgrade component is influenced by the rank of the item being upgraded and its experience multiplier. The items with higher ranks will be more difficult to upgrade while those with lower ranks are less difficult to obtain.
When a new upgrade to your hardware is installed, it's important to carefully remove all existing connections and fasteners that held the old component in place. Save these for later in the parts tray for quick identification and safe-keeping. Reconnect all wires and cables and connect the power source. Then, test the computer by switching it on. If everything is connected properly the computer should start normally. This is an essential step to ensure that the new hardware will work seamlessly with your existing system.
Glyphs
Glyphs are a great way to make your gear better, but you have to be able to utilize them correctly. Each glyph has a range of values it can boost the substatus of increasing its rank, and higher-rank Glyphs are more powerful. You can only upgrade a glyph once, so pick wisely. Glyphs are also only available once which means they are gone after you have used them on an object or artifact.
The most useful symbols are those which increase your chances to roll an affix that is of the desired type or tier. These are often found on the most expensive weapons, armor and accessories. They are also available on the Paragon Board. They are worth the effort, but aren't always easy to locate.
Glyphs can be found in the Black Lion Chests, or purchased from the Trading Post. Some glyphs are only available for one-time use and others are permanent. They are a great choice for items that must be re-rolled frequently. The Glyph of Hope allows you to increase the chances of obtaining an affix you want by enchanting an item.
Some glyphs can also be used to alter existing affixes. This is typically seen on boots, gloves and belts, all is capable of holding four different affixes. The Glyph of Insight, for instance, changes the prefix into an experimental affix. This is a great tool to have if you are looking to maximize the damage output or you want to ensure you'll get a high-quality affix for a particular slot.
Once you've reached level 50, the nature of the game dramatically changes. You'll no longer be able count on the campaign. Instead, you'll have to navigate the Paragon Board, Nightmare Dungeons and new grinds to optimize your game.
The best glyphs are the ones that are compatible with your character class for example, the Exploit Glyph, which increases damage to vulnerable enemies. Other useful glyphs include the Control Glyph, which boosts the damage dealt to enemies who are stunned, frozen, or slow. Each glyph has its own radius, which increases as it is upgraded. This makes glyphs an excellent option to upgrade your gear late in the game.
Reroll tokens
Reroll tokens are upgrades which allow players to alter the attributes of an item. This can be done in the item window by selecting an item and then pressing a green button with circular arrows. The cost of the reroll is contingent upon the rarity of the item.
Reroll tokens can be 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 via Events Items and can be obtained from other players. They are used to reroll rings, armors, weapons and other items in increments of 2. Each token that is rerolling gives players the chance to reroll an attribute that could be more or less than their previous roll.
Reroll tokens are not just used to reroll upgrade, but can also be recycled to reuse items. Recycling an item will give players a certain amount points, which are added to the level gauge for the item, based on its importance. This is a great method to get rid of old, unneeded equipment that hasn't been upgraded.
The token for rerolling can also be used to provide new weapon traits. The player is able to accept or decline these traits. The player can offer up to six items at once and the options expand as the item's rarity and level rises. This option can be accessed via the Upgrade tab on the forge.
A reroll token can also be used to roll the set bonus of an item. This can be redeemed if three or more items from the same set are equipped on an item. 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 also a number of other upgrade items in the game that can be rerolled such as the recipes. These items aren't available in the shop or through rerolls, but are transferred to the non-droppable Pool whenever players select the Food Card requiring new Ingredients or equipment. Reroll tokens can be used to reroll the extra bonuses, however the base stats (including all upgrades) and level remain the same.
Leveling

Once an item is upgraded, it will be given an additional bonus to its base stats. Additionally, certain items may be changed. This could result in an increase in the item's ilvl.
When an item is upgraded it will display a blue icon in its top-left corner. The item will also show an amount of upgrades below its maximum level. A greater number of upgrades will boost the item's maximum level. The player can upgrade the item as many times as they wish. This will let them hit gear breakpoints that increase the chances of rerolling certain attachments.
Upgrades to items give players the ability to improve the level of weapons as well as helms and armor. The process involves the purchase of items that can later be redeemed by the item upgrader NPC to earn currency. The upgrader will display an image of the item's new status and will accept either Happy Tickets or Happy Stars to complete the upgrade. The item used for materials will be gone. However the upgraded item will retain Item EXP in order to upgrade it further.
There is no way to ensure that an Upgrade will appear however it has the lowest chance of appearing while spinning Pokestops or Gyms. Players can even use an Upgrade on the Porygon to transform it into a Porygon2, which will consume the item.
