The Advanced Guide To Item Upgrading

Path of Exile Item Upgrading

The most effective way to improve your equipment in Path of Exile is through upgrading your items. This lets you improve it without having to rely on expensive trades or drops. This article will show you how to upgrade your items efficiently.

Upgrades to equipment give an additional bonus to the item's stats. The amount of bonus varies according to the rarity and quality of the upgrade component.

Components

Upgrade components are the parts that can make your weapons and armor better. You can find them by destroying enemies, buying them from karma vendors, or finding them in the form of Item upgrader mod-spheres. You can also get them from equipment that has the components or through high-end salvage kits like Black Lion Salvage Kit and Ascended Salvage Tool. Upgrade components cannot be destroyed by removing them from an item upgrader kit.

The main function of upgrade components is to allow an item to be upgraded but they also serve other purposes. They can be stacked to increase the level or experience gained from upgrading existing weapons or gear. They can be made for additional bonuses. For instance, a specially crafted glyph will boost the upgrade chance of its target, and a boost upgrade will enhance the defense or attack attribute of a weapon or armor.

Selecting an upgrade template in the GUI will let you bind it to an item. This will show a list of upgrade components that the item can be upgraded to. Alternately, you can utilize the workbench to select an upgrade template. In either case, the item will be upgraded after enough upgrade components have been gathered.

Each component has a distinct experience multiplier, which affects the amount of experience an item gets when it is upgraded with the component. For instance, organic components offer an experience multiplier that is higher than mechanical ones. You should upgrade organic components first until you reach the next rank in the weapon or equipment and then switch to the mechanical upgrades.

Each Best item upgrade comes with an upgrade limit number that is available for. The number of items that are upgradeable is determined by their upgradeable rank and the kind of upgrade they are able to receive. The highest upgrade possible is a weapon with tier 10. However, the most commonly used upgrade for weapons is an tier 6 weapon as well as a tier 5 armor upgrade.

Sets

A set is a group of items which share a bonus. Each item in the set can be upgraded at least once, and each upgrade boosts the amount of bonuses that are guaranteed. When you first upgrade a set piece or weapon, it will receive an increase of +1 to its primary stat. After subsequent upgrades, the primary stats will be boosted a bit more (for example, +1 to 12+/13+/14+), and each time you upgrade the item it will have one of its additional stats is increased randomly.

Upgrades can also increase a weapon's damage base. This may be important for certain builds. However, weapons are not upgraded to have a greater defense base than their base. It's possible to increase the value of certain sets and unique items by upgrading them, however they might not always be superior to a high-level Runeword.

If an item you're upgrading has a guaranteed bonus, it can be rerolled a few times and the guarantee will reset to 0. The same power die is used to roll an item, just as it would be to level it up. However, the new item has different bonuses. The NPC [Armor] Boboko can upgrade your armor in Central Flarine. To upgrade an item you will require the required amount of Minerals and Erons and a power dice of each type. These are available at the crafting table or the Ultra Collector and are available for purchase with Gold. NPCs also offer special rewards for each stage of the upgrade process. This reward can be rerolled once, and the reroll will be made using the same materials as the first item.

Rerolling

If a player has enough rerolling tokens, they can roll any item they have acquired during the game. When an upgraded item gets rerolled, it will be exchanged for an equivalent version that is level 1 of the same item in another set. Reroll tokens are sold in the store for a small sum of in-game currency. They are non-refundable. The new upgraded item will still come with the extra benefits of the previous one however its stats will differ too.

Players can alter the identification of their equipment as well as rolling it again by interacting with a NPC upgrader. This will change the identification as a weapon to armor, or reverse the process. The basic requirements and stats remain the same. The change will last for a long time and affect all characters who have the gear.

The player can also upgrade the item upgrade level for any equipment that is equipped. This can be done by talking to an upgrader NPC, and then obtaining upgrade components. The cost will vary depending on the upgrade track, the item upgrade type and the number of crests. Each step will give an additional 5% of damage to weapons.

Upgrades can boost the capability of an item, however they also decrease its quality. Therefore, it is important to strike a balance between the two. Certain items might not be worth upgrading at all however, others will need to be upgraded to realize their potential. For example one player might wish to upgrade a piece of breakpoint armor with an interesting modifier (% chance to block or FHR) to explore the possibilities of what it can be.

The primary reason why 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 wouldn't otherwise be able to acquire. Getting these items can be costly and time-consuming, and the RNG gods aren't always willing to play. The only choices left are to invest real money or grind for a long time. Rerolling is very popular in Genshin Impact.

Leveling

You can decide to upgrade the weapon or armor when upgrading an item. This feature isn't available in the current version of the game. I believe it was intended to be a way to increase the value of rare items, but since gear in general drops fairly quickly and can only be upgraded one level up, you'll usually replace the item before it gets too old. It's also not worth upgrading items using gem sockets, as the power of the gemstone will outweigh any increment in the ilvl.

When you click on the upgrade option on an item, you'll get a small screen with the upgrade template for the item and the cost of Valorstone and crest to boost the level of the item. The cost of upgrades will vary based on armor and weapons and the latter typically costing more than the latter. The upgrade template lists the stats to be added to an upgraded item and also the current base ilvl.

The Crest and Valorstone costs are calculated based on the current ilvl of the item and the upgrade template. Additionally, the ilvl of the new upgraded item will be decreased by the template's lvl reduction percentage. For instance, a weapon with an upgrade decrease of 8% will reduce its value by 8-8 percent.

The item will be upgraded to other stats like critical strike damage, PvE damage, and block, parry and dodge rating in addition to the base level. These enhancements are also based on the upgrade template.

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