Upgrade weekend

I think I am getting shafted on this unfortunatly. Higher chance for gear improvment? Where? When does this happen? Not on days that end in "y" I guess! LOL! I only have myself to blame. ;)

    It's random, and still a low chance and annoying. But I did get a ton of upgrading done for my AoY toon finally. :) And set a personal DPS record afterwards.

    As each upgrader applies twice as many tech points during the weekend you automatically get your chances at a quality upgrades twice as often. You lose roughly half the dil you otherwise would.

    I've mainly been upgrading ground gear - kit frames and kit modules. Sadly, the lowest white Nanite Health Monitor from vendors is Mark V so it was a pain to make a couple of VR ones for my science captains. Still, it's better than when they were 5+ million on the exchange.

    Unless it has changed, there is no bonus on "chance of gear improvement" since that's been math'd out. The bonus is specifically for getting more tech points so it costs much less to upgrade the mark of any item (mk ii to mk xiv) not the quality (common to epic).

    Granted, there could be a tiny influence still on the quality improvement chance despite the math to keep it the same due to the nature of the altered scenario, and that's been the source of a long discussion on another topic which might be able to dig up.

  • There had been a bug with upgarding Ship shields yesterday, the Mk went up but the stats stayed the same.

    It happened to me and a fleet mate. I upgraded first time ever so i did not know the upgrading mechanics.

    This is Double Tech Point Weekend. Not "Double Chance of Quality Improvement Weekend", which are different from each other.

    I am so pleased to see this return and am upgrading whatever has been leftover for old characters and all my agent's stuff. Rebuying a lot of rep gear and re-upgrading that. I'm hoping to spend 2 million dil, but I know it won't end up being nearly that much.
