Upgrades in equipment can add an increase to the item's base stats. This bonus scales with the upgrade component level and rarity.

Components

Upgrade components can make your weapons and armour better. You can find them through destroying enemies, buying them from karma vendors or finding them in item-spheres. They can also be rescued from equipment that contains them, or by utilizing a high-tier salvage kit such as the Black Lion Salvage Kit or Ascended Salvage Tool. Unlike most other items, upgrade components are not destroyed when they are removed from an item.

Upgrade components are mostly used to improve an item however, they can also be used for other reasons. They can be used to boost the level or experience gained by upgrading existing equipment or weapons. They can also be forged to provide extra bonuses. A glyph that is crafted can boost the upgrade chances of its target while a boost upgrade increases the defense or attack capabilities of a weapon.

You can attach an upgrade template to an item by selecting it from the edition GUI. This will show the upgrade components to which the item can be upgraded. You can also use the workbench for selecting an upgrade template. In either case the item will be upgraded once enough upgrade components are collected.

Each component has its own experience multiplier, which determines the amount of experience an item will gain when it upgrades with that component. For instance, organic components offer a higher experience multiplier than mechanical ones. It is therefore best to upgrade using organic components until you reach the experience multiplier for the next level of the weapon or gear, and then move to mechanical upgrades.

Each item comes with an upgrade maximum number that it is possible to receive. The number of upgrades available is determined by its upgradeable rank and the type of upgrade for the upgradeable item. The highest upgrade possible is a weapon that is the tier 10. However, the most common upgrades for weapons are an tier 6 weapon as well as an armor upgrade item of tier 5.

Sets

A set is a group of items that have the benefit of. Each item in the set can be upgraded at least one time, and the upgrade will increase its guaranteed bonuses. The first time you upgrade a set piece or weapon, it will receive a +1 increase to its primary stat. On subsequent upgrades the stats of the primary one will be increased a bit further (for instance, +1 to 12+/13+/14+), and each time you upgrade the item with an additional stats will be increased randomly.

Upgrades can also boost the base damage of a weapon. This may be important for certain types of weapons. However, weapons are not upgraded to have a higher defense level than their regular base. Upgrades can be a great method to increase the value of a set and unique items, but it's important to remember that they might not be superior to a high-level runeword in any build.

If an item upgrades you're upgrading comes with a guaranteed bonus, it can be rerolled only once and its guarantee will be reset to 0. Rerolling will cost the same amount of power dice as the process of leveling an item up, but the upgraded item will come with various bonuses. The NPC [ArmorBoboko Boboko can upgrade your armor in Central Flarine. To upgrade an item, you'll require a power die of each type (Dice 4 or 6 drop from monsters 21+ and Giants; dice 7 drops from bosses) and the right amount of Minerals and Erons. These can be purchased by using Gold at the crafting table or in the Ultra Collection. The NPC will also offer an additional reward for each completed tier of the upgrade process. The reward can be rerolled one time using the same materials and components as the first item.

Rerolling

A player is able to play rerolling any item that they acquire during the game, provided they have enough tokens to do so. When an item is rerolled it will be replaced by an equivalent level 1 version from another set. Reroll tokens can be bought from the store for an amount of in-game currency. However, they are not refundable. The new item will offer the same bonus features as the previous one, but the stats will also be different.

In addition to rerolling objects, players can also change the identity of any equipment by interfacing with an upgrader NPC. The equipment's identification will change from a weapons to armor or reverse it. The base requirements and stats remain the same. The change will be permanent and affect all characters that own the gear.

Players can also boost the level of an item equipped equipment by acquiring upgrade items and conversing with the NPC who upgrades the item. It will cost a specific amount of crests as well as Valorstones according to the upgrade track and kind. In the case of weapons, each step up will add an additional 5% to its damage.

An upgrade will make it more powerful however, it can also lower its quality. Therefore, it is crucial to keep both in check. Some items may not be worth upgrading, while others will need to be upgraded to maximize their potential. One player may wish to upgrade the breakpoint armor by adding an interesting modification ( percent block chance or FHR) to see what else it can be.

The primary reason people reroll in Genshin Impact, or in any gacha-based game is that they're trying to obtain a particular character or weapon that they can't otherwise obtain. Getting these items can be costly and time-consuming and the RNG gods aren't always willing to play. The only alternative is to invest money or grind a lot. Rerolling is a very popular choice in Genshin Impact.

Leveling

You can choose whether to upgrade the weapon or armor when you upgrade an item. But, this feature does absolutely nothing in the current game. I think it was meant to be a way to add value to rare items, but because equipment generally drops quickly and is only upgraded one level up, you'll usually replace the item before it gets too old. It's also not worthwhile to upgrade items with gem sockets as the power of the gem will be greater than the increased ilvl that comes with the upgrade.

If you click on the upgrade option on an item, you will be presented with a small window displaying the item's upgrade template and the cost of crest and Valorstone to increase the item level. The cost of upgrades will vary based on the armor and weapons as well, with the former typically costing more than the latter. The upgrade template outlines the stats that will be added to the upgraded item and it also lists the current base ilvl.

The Crest and Valorstone costs are calculated by analyzing the item level upgrade's current ilvl as well as the upgrade template. Additionally the ilvl of a new upgraded item will be reduced by the template's lvl decrease percentage. For example, a weapon with an increase of 8% will decrease its count by 8-8 percent.

The item will get upgrades to other stats, such as critical strike damage, PvE damage and block, parry, and dodge rating in addition to the base ilvl. These upgrades are also based on the upgrade template.

In the upgrade template you can see the amount of damage or defense an item will receive when it is upgraded. This is shown below the cost as well as the upgrade percentages. All weapons and armor that are not practice equipment gain these stats upon leveling up. The market will determine the worth of these stats. A weapon or armor that has perfect rolls can fetch a much higher price than a non-upp’d version. The same applies to other pieces of armor, such as circlets and tiaras.
