Upgrades to items can be costly, especially when it concerns armor and weapons. Based on the upgrade path each step in level of the item could cost many Valorstones and crests. The cost can be prohibitive for those who do not have the funds or are unable to grind.
The game allows you to play a reroll of an upgraded item using a special tool from the menu of items.

Requirements
Upgrading is the process of increasing the item level of items that can be equipped such as trinkets, weapons and armor. This increases their power and makes them more effective in battle. Players can upgrade gear by spending the appropriate currency at an item upgrader NPC. However, they should be aware that certain upgrades require special requirements.
The earliest upgrades only increase the stats of the base item by one level, but later upgrades offer more substantial boosts. Upgrades from levels 3 to 6 will increase the weapon's damage plus two levels. A bonus stat will be added to the upgraded item based on its level. This bonus consists of a guaranteed additional substat as well as a random stat that will change in value from upgrade to upgrade.
A player can roll an upgraded item using a Reroll Token to exchange the upgrade for a new one. The new item will have a different set of extra bonuses and a lower base item level. The rerolled item will also have different requirements for strength and dexterity. It is important to note that the item rerolled will not retain its level or use any wasted resources.
Some upgraded items can only be rerolled if the initial item was a Unique, Rare or Epic. Exceptional items can also be eligible for rerolling, but their original stats will be replaced with an uninvolved bonus. Rerolling a Rare item will result in a normal version of the same type, while the rerolling of an Epic item will result in an elite version of the same type.
Upgraded items can come with additional modifications that can enhance their performance and improve their stats. These additional modifiers are not included in the upgrade price. They can be obtained through questing, buying them on the Trading Post or from other players. They can be earned through doing specific missions within the game.

You will also require different amounts of Minerals, Erons and Giants.
Time is an important factor.

Each upgrade boosts the stats of an item by a specific amount and also gives a chance for a bonus substat increase. The random substat could vary from a modest boost to a much larger boost. It is best to concentrate on the best-in-slot items first, as they will provide a greater return for your investment.
You can view the time required to complete an upgrade by opening your inventory and selecting an item such as a ship, weapon, or accessory. The upgrade window will show the estimated completion time and the progress. In certain situations, you might be able to speed up the process of upgrading by using an Glyph.

However, this does not include legendary equipment or upgrades that can only be recovered using an Upgrade Extractor or recovering them through the appropriate Karma Merchant.
Rewards

The amount of bonus awarded will vary for each upgrade, and it's typically more expensive for rarer items. The Great Vault can be searched by players to determine whether an item can be upgraded.

This process makes use of Growthstones and Sollant but there is a 10% chance of achieving a fully upgraded item after just one cycle. The more levels that an item attains the more stat value will be and the more items that can be upgraded.
Upgrade components can be slotted into weapons, armor, and trinkets to provide an attribute bonus or additional effect while the equipment is in use. Certain upgrade components also have cosmetic effects. Players can purchase upgrade components through crafting, purchasing from vendors, or at the Trading Post, looting, or receiving as an incentive.

Rare items can be upgraded to an maximum of level six while Rare and Epic items can be upgraded to levels nine. Item upgrades are added to the item's base statistics, meaning that they will no longer increase after a specific point.
