How to Upgrade Items in New World's Expansion

[@teipkep]

New world actually gave the best nostalgia feeling I have had in 2 decades.

[@josephalsup7189]

dude tell me about it...

The day one. Didnt know ANYTHING about the game. Everyone ran around like noobs, no one knew anything. It was just amazing :)@@josephalsup7189

Good to know that I need 50 orbs to upgrade my heart runes, thanks for all the info! Thumbs up.

[@TrendPHnow]

From Dave: Hey all, I wanted to clarify something that I misspoke about. For many T5 named items, there is no need to upgrade them with umbral shards before the expansion. Any named items that we have updated to drop at GS625 post-expansion, will actually auto-upgrade to GS625 in your inventory. Note not all T5 named items will be updated to GS625 post-expansion, but most of the recent named T5s will. from nw yt channel

[@paulmandarino8941]

During the QA he also stated we should still upgrade them with umbral shards. So my question is: when they upgrade our purples to 625, do they go legendary or stay purple?

[@n3cr0he11]

At 9:50 you mentioned doing a full breakdown video on crafting matrix, did you ever make that video? I didn't see it in your catalog.

[@Frostycrypton]

Glad there’s still a way to upgrade gear in the expansion! Not sure I’m gonna be doing it much due to the cost, but glad it’s there.

[@artemhaight9791]

So now you need more mats to upgrade named gear and all the crafted and regular gear that we grinded for that is really good for the build we worked on for 2 years are useless. Nice

[@itgamer4143]

Yup. But getting BIS items are easier now. Once a week you get a item with the exact perks you want.

[@artemhaight9791]

@@itgamer4143 you talking about crafting at the gypsum?

[@sebbo59]

Is this your first mmo?

[@alahatim]

@@sebbo59 yeah. and even if you went into the expansion and already had BiS in all slots, what fun would that be?

[@wiggy6209]

wait wait...... so anything 650 and up can potentially be BIS?

[@arklinmike]

I've been deleting purple items - I had read somewhere it has to be a certain level. 😢

[@itgamer4143]

This answered so many questions for me. Thank you.

[@diogopereira3019]

been using gypsum incorrectly after the expansion... thanks Baggins! lesson learned

[@ileria3]

Where do the Armor Matrix come from or drop?

[@moe2o4]

So basically any named items or legendary items prior the expansion just basically salvage them, there is no reason to keep any of them since you can't upgrade them right?

[@slayergaming5421]

So there are some named items that don't have the glowy effect. I think this is because some of them are older named items that didn't convert when they introduced the shiny effect in the game. Will these auto upgrade if upgraded with umbrals?

[@feigarEU]

I guess those are the 'old' named and dont count. We have to see

[@GR33Nday2]

So basically, we can salvage all of our named items that I've been collecting and saving over the past 2 years. That's sad.

[@laaismm3107]

It makes no sense, some current items would still be BIS, but you can't upgrade it, so its useless. I don't understand the picking and choosing within AGS

[@loganrobinson192]

Well they would've been useless anyways with the new gear. Welcome to every MMO expansion ever

[@rotnbazturd7569]

Don't salvage your named items till after the expansion. Most will upgrade to 625 automatically. But ya in the end they will be scrap or sell for the transmog.

[@TylerDull]

You may be sad, but I have 4 sheds filled with gear, can’t wait to scrap it all.

[@GR33Nday2]

you have no feelings@@TylerDull

[@benjyology]

i wouldnt put the smooth bone ring in thumbnail, its very misleading. best way to describe this system is, if the item is named and is capable of going to 700, then you can force the 3rd perk and upgrade it to 700 edit: use NWBD in PTR section to search for 2 perk that you want, lock in attribute for your class (magnify is also a new attribute) and if it goes to 700, you can upgrade it later

[@remigaillard4802]

Where did you find the heroic heavy headwear ? I can't find any info on it Thx for the video btw

[@RippednBuff]

What is the point of all the different types of gypsum, sapphire , diamond etc?

[@mao_miror]

What kind of armor are you wearing? Is it new?

[@MrOdyne80]

May have missed it, but I'm assuming this is only for purps, if you have a legendary(not 700) and its not working. I made a firestaff with materia, it rolled 700 and I can't change anythign about it.

[@ViliGiX]

Is it better to open gypsum cast now or wait for updates?

[@guilhermesavian5445]

keep it as gypsum shards is the best options. If you have casts, open now or after won't matter.

[@tpetty959]

sp do they always appear epic before crafting? also what turns them into legendary? or does it do that regardless?

[@NuffSaidBread]

Dunno if it’s just me but I’ve got loads of named items 650+ but they’re not showing up in the gypsum kiln, is it only certain named items or is my game buggin lol

[@teemoofrivia6435]

To upgrade item on kiln the item have to be in ur bag not equiped . works for me

[@NuffSaidBread]

@@teemoofrivia6435 I know that mate but I’ve got 100s of named items in my storage not showing up as upgradable

[@tomasztomczak1474]

have the same problem, many 650+ legendary named items in the bag and they're not showing in the gypsum kiln

[@timkline162]

I know this is an old video but can you upgrade to 725 now?

[@Alldayanyday1OnThePS4]

Are the matrixes able to be traded? I really dont want to bother leveling my tradeskills on my alts lol Lol NVM you answered in the video as I asked 😂 I'd assume it'll go at the cheapest like 10-20k per

[@ivansaric5167]

What is the benefit of upgrading an item to GS 700. Say it has the same stats but its 700 not a 600. How does this affect a lets say open world pvp? Does the higher GS with the same stats gives any advantage or not? I don't understand that part.

[@matiasrivas8251]

hey matte , i ve got a doubt about th "gypsum (item slot) cast like [ gypsum ring cast] crafted on the gypsum kiln , what we do with those items , ive got mor than 100 of each , i should open it now reclaim the umbrals and take the legendarys or wait and open it after expansion?

[@zygican]

I dont have the option to upgrade named items at the kiln. I can only create new ones using dense expedition materia?

[@Bruno-jf3cb]

What's that set at the beggining? it looks freaking awesome

[@BagginsTV]

It's the new Mythril heavy armor you can craft, it does look REALLY good!

[@boldouzerhead2756]

So what’s the money trick to do when the expansion arrives????

[@mrgrinchsmokes117]

so lemme get this straight.. they are getting rid of umbral shards because people complained about then forever, but now were just getting a different material to essentially upgrade our gear again. so essentially all im hearing is dark matter is umbral shards 2.0. fuuuuuuuuun.....

[@scaroz2749]

But you can get dark matter in many more ways than Umbral shards. You are not forced to do mutations all over again.

[@mrgrinchsmokes117]

@@scaroz2749 fair point, but seems stupid to remove one upgrade system and put in another one. Crazy idea here, and im just spitballing they could have just made it a little easier to get umbral shards instead of removing them? Idk the system sounds worse to me, get all your crafting skills to 200 to craft the materials you need to upgrade gear instead of just having a 590 piece that you can upgrade and take with you along your leveling process.

[@scaroz2749]

@@mrgrinchsmokes117 another point is, Umbral was mandatory to get to the highest GS. But GS700 items are just dropping in the content you are playing.

[@dmacarthur5356]

Ok so I have named amulet that i picked up post expansion GS 648 and want to upgrade to 700 but it doesn't show up in named items list at gypsum kiln. It isn't equipped or in any gear set. What am I missing here? Update: in NWDB comments it seems this amulet (Lifering) is bugged for upgrading.

[@PerfEctSante28]

Perfect video as always, but DAMN what is your skin at the begining of the video ? :o

[@BagginsTV]

It's the new crafted heavy armor, Mythril Plate! ptr.nwdb.info/db/item/shard_str_heavychest_platet52

[@Skwolfe]

Why are attributes on 700 gear the same as current like 600 gear? They scaled everything down i guess?

[@thereynaldo777]

Infused gypsum orbs have any use? It appears there are uses for normal orbs but not sure about if I should make infused orbs anymore

[@ArjKm]

well I happened to have saved over 400 gypsum casts(weapons,jewellery, armor mixed)!! what to do with them ? open them to get 400 shards each and very few legendary ? Or does is have chance to give 700 gs items when opened after expansion ?

[@Elgarorn]

How do you get 6700 inventory?

[@Worhful]

Should i save materia from dungeons or use it to level my professions before expansion?

[@MarcosPic1982]

Can I change any perk in the item or is always the first one from the top?

[@maxumaki]

i dont have those options on my game do i need to buy the dlc or something for it to show up?

[@mohammadshibli8163]

Where did you get this skin?

[@fajarfebrianto1062]

do all legendary items salvage can provide dark matter? i have tons of that item on my storage

[@DrRodShelley]

i have 600 Gypsum casts saved up. Should I open them before the expansion so i get umbral shards or are they going to change what comes out of casts?

[@renatshabanov629]

Hey, mate. And what about stopwatch?

[@BagginsTV]

Stopwatches will not have any crafting purpose, and like Umbral Shards, will just be something you salvage. What we get in return for salvaging them, AGS won't tell us :(

[@robertluciano4207]

Since the gear is upgrading to 700 with gypsum, but not becoming legendary, how do we upgrade it to legendary?

[@Zoroexe]

Does anyone know if you can upgrade the Sclerite Pincer? Or Oasis of Life?

[@Mactrizel]

Still think that was a bad move is not being able to upgrade old gear they need to change that asap

[@seconlazztv5112]

Why does your bag hold so much stuff ?

[@irishemperor]

are OPR chests giving 600+ rusher gear on the PTR right now? (if I have OPR chests unopened am I better to save them rather than open and upgrade with shards?)

[@BagginsTV]

On the PTR they have new (Level 65) Outpost Rush boxes, so the old ones are being made redundant, from what I can tell

[@ParfaxGaming]

lego items that were made pre patch were not upgrading on the ptr Tested it and I didnt get any =

[@xTroublebash]

Hi, thanks for the video, you have a new sub in me! I do not need 250 crafting, buffs, trophies etc. to upgrade named items to gs700 or?

[@Thedude-182]

Does this mean I can safely salvage all the gear I hoarded since the release of the game? what will I do with all that free storage space xD

[@capnmorgan867]

Fill your banks with spores now? 😂 MOAR SPORES!

[@danallery8207]

so is it more effecient to use up all your umbral shards before the expansion to max out your current gear, or best to hang onto them?

[@BagginsTV]

If you want power early, use up your shards. If you want gold for the longer term, hang onto them!

[@Takesiii]

Anyone please help answer me very confused What about the Slayer of enemies weapon with a gearscore of 625 can it still be used after the expansion or all the items we have now will not be used? and I just wanted to make purple clothing equipment with perk Mining luck and Luck whether it will be used after the expansion or make it later after the expansion.

[@itgamer4143]

Curious about the that gear as well.

[@surfbored35]

I'm kind of a new player, so now that ward is going away, what are tanks going to be running on their gear??

[@itgamer4143]

[@maweel1953]

Hi, do you think it's worth to conserve all expedition's chest from the season pass until expansion begin ? Like if I open chest in season 3 with the new max gear score, it can be helpful ?

cant hurt to save them if you dont need anything in them right now

Alas, I do not think you can upgrade Smooth Bone Ring.

Smoothbone ring is named and it is pushed to 625. I'm pretty sure you can. Let me know.

[@rekrn12345]

It looks like they nerfed health stat. The current ones are almost 10% already and that one only said 7%

[@publiczekkurwa6492]

[@theUnconventionalGamer]

That's weird - I've never been able to upgrade any non-named items (from invasions, major breach caches, or anything) between 590 to 599 to 600 legendary ever.

[@BagginsTV]

I think in the overall timeline of New World it's a fairly recent addition that items from those caches upgrade

[@theUnconventionalGamer]

@@BagginsTV Oh, that's good to know, thanks! Know what I'm going to be doing for the next couple weeks.

[@fleischtomate2435]

is it still "confirmed" that umbral shards transfer into gold (0,1 ratio) ?

Yes! We were able to do so on the test server, no changes have been announced.

@@BagginsTV thx baggins for the answer! I have another question: Is there a pattern how we get epic>legendary with the new gearscore? I mean before it was all named epic till 590>600 legendary ...do you know how it now works?

[@Sadoruro]

So you're telling me that I'm going to have to re-farm the majority of my named item, only so that I could get the exact same item in a post-expansion form before being able to upgrade it to 700 ? WTF is that madness ?

[@Doctahjay4]

Also wondering this. My company are convinced all prepatch named items will be able to be upgraded to 700 (Smooth bone ring obtained prior to patch etc.)

[@nikkorush293]

Thanks brother! I will only upgrade non shinny named items that don't drop from dungeons.. the rest of my shards going to gold (:

[@LetsSinez]

so all gear sets are destroyed ? wtf

[@PapaDealt]

Probably a dumb question, but a named 590 item, can it be upgraded to 700?

[@xer0nreloaded]

If its 590 its an old named and cant be Upgraded. The New named will drop higher than 590

[@itgamer4143]

It has the potential to be pushed to 625. From my understanding those named items that are now 625 can be pushed to 700.

[@questrox]

Of note, noticed you had artifact shield and a weapon. In the live release this won't be possible since it's actually a bug that shields are counting as armor.

[@theshaolinpanda93]

So shield will be considered a weap? No pairing Michael with anything?
