How to Upgrade Items in Pokemon GO
Upgrade is one of the most prized items in Pokemon GO. It lets trainers transform Porygon into Porygon2 and also gives them a chance to grow in 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 does this item actually do?
Components
Upgrade components can be added to trinkets, weapons or gathering tools to provide them with an attribute bonus. They are an essential component in the crafting process. They can be obtained through salvaging or purchased from vendors. They can be found as drops in the game dropped by enemies, or gathered from item spheres. They can be used to upgrade armor or weapons through an upgrade slot.
Using upgrade components to maximize the experience gained when upgrading equipment and weapons is key to achieving the highest level of progression in the game. The addition of organic components to an upgraded item will increase its experience multiplier, while mechanical components will decrease it. The best combination is a high experience-multiplier organic component followed by a low-experience-multiplier mechanical component. This will maximize the experience you acquire and help you get to the next level.
The upgrade process is complicated, and it's important to understand how it works so that you can maximize the benefits of your upgrades. The system keeps a daily total for the component you are upgrading. Each component has either a positive or negative multiplier, and once the total is at a certain level, it will be reset to zero.
In addition the amount of time gained from each upgrade component is influenced by the hidden rank of the item being upgraded as well as its multiplier of experience. The higher-ranked items are more difficult to upgrade whereas the lower-ranked ones are easier to acquire.

If everything is connected correctly the computer should start normally. This is a vital step to ensure that the new hardware will work seamlessly with your current system.
Glyphs
Glyphs can be a fantastic method to make your equipment more efficient, but you need be aware of how to use them correctly. Each glyph can be used to improve an existing substatus, and the higher the rank of a Glyph, the more powerful it is. Be careful because you can only upgrade glyphs once. Glyphs can also be used only once, so they disappear after you have used them on an item or artifact.

Glyphs can be found in the Black Lion Chests, or purchased from the Trading Post. Certain glyphs are available for use only once and others are permanent. These are a great choice for items that have to be re-rolled frequently. The Glyph of Hope, for example, allows you to increase the likelihood of acquiring a particular affix when enchanting items.
Some glyphs can also be used to alter existing affixes. This is most common on boots, gloves and belts, all is capable of holding four different affixes. The Glyph of Insight, for instance, converts the prefix into an experimental affix. This is a helpful tool if you are looking for a high-quality affix in a certain slot or you wish to maximize the damage output.

Other excellent glyphs include Control Glyph, which boosts damage to enemies that are stunned, frozen or reduced. Each symbol has a radius and the radius increases as you upgrade the glyph. This makes glyphs a great way to upgrade your gear late in the game.
