Storm Legion introduced the concept of Upgradeable Gear. These are items that can be upgraded with the help of another item to become a better version of itself. The item description will tell you it is Upgradeable. Also, this is indicated by two white up-arrows in the upper-right corner of the item's icon.

The gear works like HK gear, requiring a Cell and the gear. Bind the correct Cell to your gear to tailor it for your role.

For example: You can buy a Depleted Empyreal Defender's Dagger. If you buy and install a Glowing Empyreal Power Node to it you get a Glowing Empyreal Defender's Dagger. If you buy and install a Radiating Empyreal Power Node to it you get a Radiating Empyreal Defender's Dagger.

Alt+LeftClick on any item to see the Upgrade Path for that item. Most items will only have one possible upgrade; however some upgraded items are, themselves, upgradeable. If you mouseover the Cell the description will tell you where you can obtain it. Some Cells can be bought, and some only come from certain Dungeons or specific named mobs found in the world.
