https://anotepad.com/notes/3piqrsby The Pokemon Upgrade Item - A Special Evolution Item That Helps Trainers Evolve Certain Pokemon Into More Powerful Forms The upgrade item is an item that helps trainers transform certain Pokemon into more powerful forms. It is produced by a company known as Silph Co. This item is a scarce one but you can obtain it by spinning Photo Discs at PokeStops or Gyms. It provides a set of extra benefits and features an upgrade track that limits how high the item can be upgraded. Upgrade components Upgrade components can be slotted into weapons, armor, trinkets and gathering tools to give you an attribute bonus or extra effect while the equipment is in use. They can be acquired by crafting, purchased from vendors, or purchased on the trading post, looted or obtained as rewards. Certain upgrades come with additional cosmetic effects. Upgrade components are divided into two categories - universal and restricted to a specific type. Universal upgrades, like gemstones, are able to be placed in any type of equipment, while type-restricted upgrades, such as inscriptions, have to be placed in specific types of items to get their bonuses. Most upgrade components can be retrieved from equipment that they are currently installed in, but certain components can only be salvaged with the help of a Black Lion Salvage Kit or an Ascended Salvage Tool. Ascended armor and legendary gear could contain upgrade components that can only be salvaged with an Black or Ascended Salvage Kit. Upgrades slotted into an item can't be substituted with other upgrades of the same kind except for glyphs that can be swapped freely in and out of gathering tools. Glyphs can be substituted with other glyphs similar to the kind, and an upgraded item will display the name of both its original upgrade and the one that was replaced in the hover text. Inscriptions can be added with their own names to the item they modify, and can be viewed by right-clicking on an upgraded weapon or pie
