Path of Exile Item Upgrading
In Path of Exile, item upgrading is one of the most effective ways to upgrade your equipment without relying on large-ticket drops or trade. This article will help you understand how to upgrade your gear.
Upgrades to equipment provide an additional bonus to the item's stats. This bonus scales according to the rarity and strength of the upgrade component.
Components
Upgrade components are the parts that make your weapons and armor more effective. You can find them by destroying enemies, buying them from karma vendors, or finding them in item-spheres. You can also get them from equipment that contains the components or through high-tier salvage kits such as Black Lion Salvage Kit and Ascended Salvage Tool. Contrary to other products upgrade components, upgrade components aren't destroyed when removed from an item upgrader kit.
Upgrade components are typically used to improve an item but they can also be used for other reasons. They can be stacked in order to increase the level of experience gained from upgrading existing weapons or gear. They can also be made to offer additional benefits. A glyph that is crafted can boost the chance of upgrading its target, and boost upgrades increase the attack or defense attributes of the weapon.
You can connect an upgrade template to an item level upgrade by selecting it from the edition GUI. This will display the list of upgrade components that the item can be upgraded to. You can also use the workbench when selecting an upgrade template. In either case, the item will be upgraded when enough upgrade components have been gathered.
Each component has a different experience multiplier that affects how much more experience an item receives when it upgrades with that component. Organic components, like have an increased multiplier of experience than mechanical components. It is therefore Best item upgrade to upgrade with organic components until you reach the multiplier of experience for the next level of the weapon or gear, then switch to mechanical upgrades.
In addition to the multiplier of experience, each item also has an maximum number of upgrades it can receive. The number of upgrades are determined by its upgradeable rank and the type of upgrade for the upgradeable item. The highest upgrade possible is a weapon of 10th level. However, the most common upgrade for weapons is a tier 6 weapon and an armor upgrade of tier 5.
Sets
A set is a group of items that have a bonus. Each item can be upgraded at the least once. The upgrade boosts the amount of bonuses you can expect to receive. The first time you 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 increased even more (for instance, +1 for 12+/13+/14+) and every time an item is upgraded one of its stats will increase randomly.
Upgrades can also boost the damage base of a weapon. This could be crucial for certain builds. However, weapons are not upgraded to have a higher maximum defense roll than their base. Upgrading can be a good way to improve the value of a set and unique items, but it is important to keep in mind that they're not necessarily superior to a high-level runeword in any build.
If an item you're upgrading comes with a guaranteed bonus, it can be rerolled only once, and then its guarantee will reset to 0. Rerolling costs the same amount of power dice as the process of leveling an item, however the new item will offer different extra bonuses. The NPC [ArmorBoboko Boboko can upgrade your armor in Central Flarine. To upgrade an item, you will require the proper amount of Minerals and Erons and a power dice of each type. These are available at the crafting table or in the Ultra Collector, and can be purchased using Gold. The NPC will also offer an extra reward for every tier that is completed of the upgrade process. The reward can be rerolled one time with the same materials as original item.
Rerolling
If the player has enough rerolling tokens, they can roll any item they have acquired during the game. When an upgraded item is to be rerolled, it will be exchanged for an equivalent version that is level 1 of the same item from a different set. Reroll tokens are sold at the store for a small sum of in-game currency. They cannot be refunded. The new item upgraded will still come with the extra bonuses of the first, but its stats will be different also.
In addition to rerolling items, players can also change the identification of any equipment by engaging with an upgrader NPC. This will change the identification from a weapon to an armor or reverse the process. Its base requirements and stats will remain the same. The change will be permanent and will affect all characters who have the equipment.
The player can also upgrade their level of an item for any equipment that is equipped. This is done by interacting with an upgrader NPC, and then obtaining upgrade items. The cost will vary depending on the upgrade track, item type and the number of crests. Each step will give 5percent more damage to weapons.
Upgrades can increase the capability of an item upgrade, but they also decrease the quality of an item. Therefore, it is crucial to strike a balance between the two. Some items may not be worth upgrading at all, while others will need to be upgraded in order to realize their potential. One player may wish to upgrade the breakpoint armor by adding an interesting modifier (% block chance or FHR) in order to discover what it could be.
Rerolling is a common practice in Genshin Impact and other gacha-based games. People do it to try to obtain the character or weapon they cannot otherwise get. Getting these items can be costly and time-consuming, and the RNG gods aren't always willing to cooperate. The only alternatives are to spend real money or grind for a long time. Rerolling is a popular feature in Genshin Impact.
Leveling
You can decide to upgrade the weapon or armor after upgrading an item. This feature isn't available in the current version of the game. I believe that this feature was created to increase the value of rare and expensive items. However, since the majority of equipment is replaced quickly and can only be upgraded one level, you'll typically replace it before it is too old. It's also not worthwhile to level items that have gem sockets because the power of the gem will far outweigh the increase in ilvl with the upgrade.
If you click the upgrade button on an item, you'll be presented with a small window displaying the upgrade template of the item as well as the crest and Valorstone costs to increase the item level. The costs will vary between the armor and weapons, with the former usually costing more than the latter. The upgrade template lists the statistics that will be added to the upgraded item. It also lists its current ilvl.
The crest and Valorstone costs are calculated based on the item's current ilvl and the upgrade template. In addition the ilvl of a new upgraded item will be reduced by the upgrade template's lvl decrease percentage. For example, a weapon with an upgrade decrease of 8% will decrease its ilvl by 8 - 8%.
In addition to the base ilvl boost the item level upgrade will also receive upgrades in other stats such as critical strike damage, PvE damage, dodge, block, and parry rating. These enhancements are also based on the upgrade template.
In the upgrade template you can see the amount of damage or defense that the item will receive when it is upgraded. This is displayed below the cost and upgrade percentages. In addition to practice equipment, all armor and weapons gain the same stats once leveled up. The market determines the value of these stats. A weapon or armor that has perfect rolls can fetch more than an unupp'd version. This is also true for other pieces of armor, such as circlets and Tiaras.
