What is an Upgrade Item in Genshin Impact?

Upgrade items are a special type of item upgrading that can make certain Pokemon evolve. They can be obtained by spinning Pokestop discs, and sometimes as rewards for events related to evolution.

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

Upgrade components

Upgrade components can be put into armor, weapons and trinkets to provide a bonus or an extra effect while the equipment is used. They can be bought from vendors, looted, obtained as rewards, or crafted or dropped. Upgrade components must be of a higher quality than the item they're being added to, and many also require that the item be equipped with an upgrade slot to accept them. Upgrade components can be swapped with other upgrade components, except for inscriptions or glyphs, which can be added or removed freely.

The most commonly used upgrade components are gems, infusions, and enrichments. Gems are upgrade components that can be inserted in any kind of equipment, and they provide lesser bonuses than other upgrade components. Infusions and enrichments are only able to be used on non-amulet equipment and some legendary equipment. You can recover them from the equipment they are in using an Upgrade Extractor Device or by salvaging with the Black Lion Salvage Kit or an Ascended Salvage tool.

Other upgrade options, such as glyphs and inscriptions, may be added or removed from gathering tools. They can provide a range of bonuses, such as increasing the speed of gathering or bringing in more materials. Inscriptions can also modify the name of an item, such as changing the name of a sword to "Fiery Sword" by adding the Sword Pommel of Fortitude inscription or adding a Rune of Minor Vigor suffix to make it 'Canthan Armor of Minor Vigor'.

Glyphs

Glyphs are character symbols that represent a particular concept or idea. A glyph could be an icon or a drawing such as the heart or flag. These symbols can also be used to create an entire visual language. A glyph may also have a standard coding that is used across fonts to identify it. This code is known as Unicode.

A glyph is a shape that dictates the Primary Stats it can be added to, and which Secondary Stats it can have added. Some glyphs have both Primary Stats and Secondary Stats bonuses, some only have one bonus. The glyphs with both Primary and Secondary Stats will add to the total stats of the unit those with just a single Primary Stat bonus will multiply the values of that stat.

Glyphs are very simple to use. Simply hold and click on the text insertion point to show the Glyphs panel. Select the glyph you want to insert. You can also look up a list of all available glyphs by clicking View All Glyphs. The glyphs will be displayed in order by their Unicode code. You can click on the one you would like to add.

When you create the glyph set for the first time, it is saved along with other InDesign preferences in an image file that can be shared. The glyphs are not tied to any particular document. However, you can edit them using Edit Glyph Set from the Glyphs panel menu. You can also choose if the glyphs should be remembered by their fonts if you insert them in text.

You should begin farming rare glyphs as soon as you can. They are often found in World Tier 3 dungeons, Nightmare Dungeons, Helltides, and other endgame content. They are much simpler to collect than the difficult shards that you can get from crafting items, and offer a better upgrade to your equipment. Moreover, the fact that they can be applied to a wide range of items means you can increase the defense and damage of your equipment without spending too many shards.

Rerolling

Rerolling in Genshin Impact is a popular practice, as it increases the odds of players getting the top weapons and characters. The process involves creating a completely new account, then making use of the launch rewards or pre-registration. This gives the player another chance to win random items. This isn't completely risk-free.

The game offers a wide range of upgrade items to increase the performance of an individual unit. They include armor, weapon, and rings that can be upgraded. The upgrades boost the armor and weapons physical strength, and the rings boost the health of a character. Players can also purchase Corkian amplifiers to increase the effectiveness of upgrade items.

A player is also able to change the items they have equipped in addition to these upgrades. Rerolling a equipped item resets the item upgrader mod's base power, number of upgrades and selects random substats. This is helpful if the item's fully-upgraded power is less than desired or if the player wants to change its substats.

To roll a new item, players must first open the upgrade component. This can be accomplished by pressing a box icon on the main screen of the game to open the item window. The player may then select up to six items to be used for "recycling". The item level upgrade will be given an upgrade component that is with a random rarity, level and stat.

The player is required to pay an additional fee once the item is changed. The cost increases according to the rarity and level of the upgrade component. Afterwards, the player must repeat the process to unlock additional upgrades.

It is important to test the patch locally before sending it. This will help you identify any conflicts that need to be resolved. If the patch does not have any conflicts it can be merged with the upstream branch. Lastly, the patch must be uploaded to an issue. It is also useful to make a clear distinction that makes it easy for other developers check the patch.
