5 Must-Know Item Upgrade Practices For 2024
Throne and Liberty Gear Upgrades
Upgrades to gear increase its stats base and often enhances its extras. The value of these upgrades is determined by their tiers, requirements and the amount of random augmentations applied.
For instance, the premium racial shield Razortail is commonly upgraded for its lightning absorb ability in PvP, or to add additional defenses to missile-based designs in PvM. This makes it more tradable than the perfect non-upgraded version.
Reroll Tokens
Reroll tokens allow you to roll a purchased item such as an armor, weapon or ring. The item is swapped for another similar one with an additional set of bonuses. Reroll tokens are an affordable method of upgrading gear. However, they do not retain the same level as the original item, and any wasted resources won't be compensated for.
Survivors can obtain tokens to reroll in many ways, including the Mistery Box and rare drops from skulled creatures. They can be found in chests and crates or bought from the market at a cost of 150k each. Reroll tokens can be used to change the attribute of an item such as increasing the damage it can cause.
Players can roll equipment with three attributes, physical power, spell power, and health. Upgrades to physical power can increase damage from weapons and melee attack and spell power boost mage attacks and the ring. Health upgrades provide the player with additional health.
Three types of rerolls tokens are available: upgrade, rare and legendary. Each upgrade takes an item to a better quality, with the requirement of a higher-quality reroll token order to make it. Enhanced upgrades require a common item, while rare upgrades require a unique or a legendary item, and legendary upgrades require three legendary items.
The marker that rerolls, unlike markers or tokens that are placed on action areas, remains on the space until the next success is to be rerolled. This allows you to avoid wasting upgrades.
Blueprints appear in the form of envelopes at the beginning of each Preparation Phase and are opened by grabbing them with Interact. When they are opened they show a complete description and icon of the corresponding Appliance or Ingredient. Blueprints can be exchanged for new appliance or ingredient in the restaurant's shop for the amount of coins.
As a result, you can move blueprints between the Staple Pool (which is the default pool) and the Non-staple Pool when you run. This changes the blueprints that the restaurant's shop can offer for rerolls and also those that are in the non-droppable Pool.
Growthstones
In Throne and Liberty, growth stones can be used to improve weapons, armor and accessories. These stones are special stones which increase the value of an item by increasing its stats or characteristics. These items can be obtained by visiting Equipment Enchanting NPCs in the major towns. Contract Coin Merchants will sell them for a fee. They can also be purchased by players who complete daily contracts.
To upgrade gear to upgrade gear, players must first locate the item and then click the "level up button". The menu will be displayed showing the item's current level and what it will be when being upgraded and the required amount of Growth Stones to accomplish this. The amount of Growth Stones needed to upgrade the item is determined by its rarity. Most often rare (blue) weapons require more than one green Growth Stone to reach their next level, whereas uncommon armor requires just one blue or green Growth Stone.
After deciding on the item to upgrade the user must choose the number of Growth Stones that they want to purchase and pay the cost. Once the requirements are met, the player can then click on the upgrade button to apply the Growth Stones to the item. The item will be raised in level a certain percentage. The upgrade process can last from a few seconds to several minutes, depending on the rarity of the item.
The upgrade process is also completely risk-free and does not affect the longevity of the item. This makes the system an excellent method for players to gain a significant advantage in combat without straining their accounts. Clicking on the "transfer tab", players can also transfer the experience and progression of an upgraded item onto the new gear.
New players may find it difficult to acquire Growth Stones. There are several ways to acquire these stones. You can finish contracts and purchase them from Contract Coin Merchants, defeat Abyssal Contracts, obtain them from the Equipment Stone Seal Book or get them from reward chests during the Ancient Arena Season. Players can also break down higher-level Growth Stones into multiple lower-level stones.
Leveling
Leveling is a feature that lets players boost the stats of their weapons, armor, helms, and trinkets. The Upgrade Station allows you to combine an item with upgrade materials and then pay a fee in Happy Tickets or Happy Stars. The upgrade materials will be consumed and the item will gain a higher level. The process will continue until the item is at its highest level.
Items with upgraded stats will have an icon of blue next to their slot. Upgrade components, unlike enchantments can't be added to more than one item at a time. Furthermore each upgrade component will require a certain quantity of items to be added, as well as an appropriate amount for the equipment.
The Upgrade Station has two slots: the left is where players can place equipment that needs that they wish to upgrade, and the right side shows a glimpse of what the equipment will look like once it is at its next level. Pressing the yellow arrow after a player has sufficient materials will start the upgrading process.
A piece of equipment can be upgraded up to five times. Each time it is upgraded, the base stats of an item will increase by an amount of. The highest level for an item is 19.
Once an item reaches the highest level, upgrades will not be available for it. Likewise, once a piece of gear reaches a certain upgrade track (e.g. Veteran or Explorer) upgrades to that track will have discounts.
Upgrade components are a form of equipment that is able to be inserted into weapons, armors trinkets, gathering tools and other trinkets to provide an additional effect or bonus while the equipment is in use. They can be bought from vendors, looted, or obtained through questing. They can also be traded between players. Upgrade components can be replaced by new ones, but doing so could destroy the previous upgrade, except for glyphs, which can be removed and replaced freely.
Requirements
Item upgrades give players the ability to increase certain attributes of weapons and armor they currently have. The requirements for upgrading an item differ based on the type of item however, you'll generally require Dilithium and the number of Upgrade Tokens.
Upgrades to items can be used to make set pieces or weapons to provide added effects or a higher quality item. These upgrades can come from a variety of sources, such as crafting, purchasing at the Trading Post, karma vendors or looting from bosses and raids. Once an upgrade component is placed into an object, it is not able to be removed or replaced. However it is possible to swap glyphs freely.
Upgrades can boost an item's Mark Level or Rarity. Certain upgrade components have additional modifiers that can improve the stats of the item.
For example, the helm upgrade "Foundation of the Sun" increases base defense, and adds an extra 20% chance of blocking. In addition the dps upgrade "Wildfire" increases weapon damage.
Some items are better off being upgraded not so much for their improved stats and more because it lets players get the maximum amount of value from a perfect roll on the item. For instance, a flawlessly rolled 200/6 504 armor set piece is highly valued in the melee PvP community and can be worth 20-50x the non-upp'd version.
If you choose an upgrade component that you want to put into an item the game will show a pop-up window that shows the required requirements. item upgrading will show the requirements required when you select an upgrade component to slot into an item.
The game will place an item in your inventory after you've completed the prerequisites for an upgrade. The progress bar will then update to show how close to completing the upgrade. You can also verify the status of an upgrade by going to any upgrader NPC for the item you want to upgrade.
