I'm sure there will also be new pets -- mythic & arcane most likely.
As for the helms & armors, I'm sure they won't be upgraded automatically. I'm sure it will involve some kind of crafting or questing, and I'm also sure it won't be something easy. If I had to guess it will involve crafting. Any of you who have played PL know how crafting works. For those of you who never played PL, here's the way it works....
There are "crafting materials" which are needed in order to craft an item. These crafting materials can usually be found as rare drops from bosses, or in this case I'd guess maybe they come from Elite Chests & Locked Crates. You also need a recipe, which also would be a rare drop. Then there is an NPC in one of the towns that you bring the crafting materials to, along with the original item (i.e. mythic helm) and the recipe. The NPC takes the original item, the crafting materials, and the recipe and combines them into the new item, i.e. the level 36 mythic helm. Usually you can purchase the recipe from the NPC for about 30 plat, but you can also get the recipe as a drop. Sometimes the crafting materials can be acquired by completing a quest, but it's usually a long and difficult quest, and you usually need several crafting items, so these crafting items usually have significant cost. In PL the crafting materials (usually called something like "Ocean Diamonds" or "Glyph Steels") usually had a value of 200-500k each, and you need several or more for each item you craft.
So while there will be a way to upgrade the mythic helms & armors, please don't expect to press a button and have it upgraded automatically. It will require some effort on your part, and my guess is the final level 36 item will carry a premium price as the result of your effort to craft/upgrade it.
