Upgrading infinity gear

I learned that infinity gear (levelless) does not progress with you past level 50. Needless to say, I must assume that upgrading them would make their next Mark level to ... XIII?

Has anyone upgraded Infinity gear successfully? Were the results worth the effort/time/mats?

    I have noticed that in what amounts to another stealth upgrade, all my infinity gear is now Mk XII Epic (gold)! Mostly these are consoles, dropped from boxes, but I have only hit the upgrade button once since DR, and that only to see what was on the other side; no intentional upgrades for me. Go figure... :confused:

    My quad cannons got a minor but noticable damage boost when I moved them from infinity to MkXII. To do this you simply have to preview what they'd upgrade to. I wish it wasn't automatic, but it is.

    I haven't upgraded PAST that point yet, but I agree: If you have infinity weapons, upgrade them to MkXII now. Infinity stops at MkX so you'll get a damage boost right off the bat.

    Wow. Nice :) I have Spiral Wave Disruptors that I just love to death so this is good news! I'm considering working to get them higher level but the rumblings about the [Dmg] mod gives me pause.

    There is a long and sordid complaint list where items are downgraded and/or stripped of quality or modifiers when you even so much as attempt to preview them in the upgrade window.


    Keep this in mind: The system is very much broken right now. It was rushed out KNOWING it didn't work.

    Cryptic may or may not ever get around to replacing/fixing your downgraded items.

    While most of the infinity gear DOES upgrade just fine, be wary of previewing other items which you cannot replace.

    My KDF's Honor Guard pulsewave upgraded with no problems, but my lobi-upgraded Jem'Hadar pistol was DOWNgraded noticably just by previewing it. Do NOT even try that weapon yet.


    So, be wary. This is NOT a finished product. Not by a long shot. And by "this" I mean DR as a whole. They had ample months of bug reports from Tribble to fix this stuff and instead dumped it as-was onto the holodeck server. Until it *IS* completed (i.e. patched/fixed) you should take care when upgrading. One person suggested previewing all your potential upgrades on tribble first, but there you run the risk of small fixes being on tribble but still a month away from being ported to holodeck, and so forth.

    It worked for the Spiral Wave Disruptors!

    In the few minutes I had the following infinity gear was also upgraded to amok XII for free:
    Bio-neural Infused Circuits console
    Pre-updated Aegis set

    I'll be going on an upgrade hunt in my bank later :)

    Thank you everyone!

    UPDATE: I worked to get a SWD to Mk XIV VR. In the previous window the UR mods changed to [???]x5 ... :eek:

    As the SWD currently have [Dmg]x2 [Acc]x2, I'm curious to see if a 5th mod gets added or if I will truly get 5x 1 mod.

    A list of items I have personally tested this on:
    - The TOS Enterprise retrofit phaser arrays
    - Both DS9 Bundle Bajoran ground weapons (phaser pistol and phaser rifle)
    - Quad Cannons (both Federation phaser and Klingon disruptor variants)
    - Synchronic Proton Distortion Prototype Assault Rifle (aka Ghostbusters Gun; from Spin the Wheel)
    - Omni-Directional Antiproton Beam Array (from Sphere of Influence)
    - Lobi store 'Tachyokinetic Converter' console
    - Obelisk Warp Core
    - Borg Assimilated console goes from levelless to Mk XII (if you had one from before)
    - Borg Kinetic Cutting Beam goes from levelless to Mk XII (if you had one from before)
    - Breen Transphasic Cluster Torp went from levelless to leveled
    - AEGIS gear went from levelless to Mk XII

    Scar, I think that is just the upgrade system's way of saying, "You're getting another mod on this gear, but that's all I know about it".

    I'm sure your DPS is great, but as Kahless said, "a petaQ with high system mastery is still a petaQ." (Well, he should have said it...!)

    Fair enough. 5 mods and two procs on one weapon? Yes, please.

    The SWDs receive a CrtX mod.
