What is an Upgrade Item in Genshin Impact?

Upgrade items are a specific type of item that can help Pokemon evolve. They are obtained by spinning Pokestop photo discs and are sometimes used as rewards for events associated with evolution.

They can be incorporated into trinkets, armors, weapons and gathering tools in order to add additional effects or stats. Certain upgrades have a cosmetic effect.

Upgrade components

Upgrade components can be added to weapons, armors and trinkets in order to add an additional effect or unique feature when the equipment is used. They can be purchased from vendors, looted or obtained as rewards, or crafted or dropped. Upgrade components are required to be higher leveled than the item that they are added to. Most require that the item upgrader mod has an upgrade slot. Upgrade components can be replaced with other upgrade components, with the exception for inscriptions and glyphs, which are only able to be removed or added.

Gems, infusions and enrichments are the most commonly used upgrade components. Gems can be added to any kind of equipment and provide an inferior benefit than other upgrade components. Infusions and enrichments are only able to be used on non-amulet gear and certain legendary equipment. They can be recovered from the equipment they are on using an Upgrade Extractor Device or by salvaging them using a Black Lion Salvage Kit or Ascended Salvage tool.

Other upgrade items such as glyphs and inscriptions are able to be removed or added to gather tools. They can have a variety of bonus effects such as increasing the speed of gathering or bringing in more materials. Inscriptions can also alter the name of an item, for example changing the name of a sword to 'Fiery Sword' by adding an Sword Pommel Of Fortitude inscription, or adding an Rune of Minor Vigor suffix to make it 'Canthan Armor Of Minor Vigor'.

Glyphs

Glyphs are characters that represent a specific concept or idea. For example, a glyph can be an icon, or a drawing of a flag or heart. These symbols can be used to create a complete visual language. A glyph could also have a standard coding that is used by all fonts to refer to it. This code is known as Unicode.

The shape of glyphs dictates what Primary Stats and Secondary Stats can be added. Some glyphs will have both Secondary and Primary Stat bonuses, whereas others only have one or the other. The glyphs with both Secondary and Primary Stats add to the total stats of the unit, while the ones with only a single Primary Stat bonus will multiply the value of that stat.

It is simple to utilize glyphs. Simply hold and click on the text to open the Glyphs Panel, then select one of the glyphs. You can also view the list of all available glyphs by choosing View All Glyphs. The glyphs are listed in the order of their Unicode code and you can choose the one you wish to add by clicking it.

When you create a glyph set, the file is saved along with other InDesign preferences and can be shared. The glyphs r if the player wishes to change the substats of the item.

To reroll an item upgrader kit, the player must first open its upgrade component. To unlock it simply press the box icon to open the item upgrade's window on the main screen. The player can then choose up to six items for "recycling". The item will be upgraded by a random rarity component level, stat and level.

The player has to pay an additional fee once the item is rerolled. The cost will increase based on the rarity and quality of the upgrade component. Afterwards, the player must repeat the process in order to unlock further upgrades.

Before submitting the patch, it is important to test the patch locally. This will allow you to identify any conflicts that require to be addressed. If the patch does not have any conflicts it can be merged with the upstream branch. Additionally, the patch should be uploaded to an issue. It is also useful to create a plain difference that will make it easier for other developers to examine the patch.
