Path of Exile Item Upgrading
item upgrades upgrading allows players to upgrade their weapons and equipment with new affixes, boosting its stats base or providing additional benefits. To upgrade items, the player must have the item in their inventory and access the kiln.
Items that have weak bases, such as rings can be upgraded to a stronger base. Items with strong bases, like eth Titans have little changes in their stats.
Upgrade components
Upgrade components can be slotted into trinkets, weapons, armor and gathering tools, providing an attribute bonus or additional impact when the equipment is used. They can be bought from vendors, found in loot, dropped by enemies or received as rewards from missions or chests. Some upgrades additionally have special cosmetic effects. Most upgrades require the equipment to be at a certain level before they can be upgraded.
To upgrade an armor, weapon or other item in the game, players must select it and then click on the Upgrade button on the toolbar. This will display on the right-hand side of the screen a preview of the expected upgrade stats as well as the required component or materials.
There are three kinds of upgrade components: universal upgrades, prefix upgrades and suffix upgrades. Universal upgrades, which are made up of gems, can be placed in any type of equipment and provide smaller bonuses than upgrade components that are restricted to a specific type. Infusions are gems that are only available in legendary and ascended equipment. They provide the same benefits as jewels, but cannot be used with any other equipment. Suffix upgrades can be added to gathering tools. They add the suffix to the end of the item upgrade's name. For instance, adding a Glyph would make the staff wrapping of Minor Vigor into a Canthan staff wrapping of Minor Vigor.
If a player upgrades a gathering tool and replaces the glyphs by a different one, the old one will be returned to their inventory. However, replacing any other upgrade component will damage it, except for the inscriptions that can be swapped.
Leveling
Path of Exile's upgrade system is different from the previous versions in a few fundamental ways. Gear is now divided into tracks and items can be upgraded a specific number of times before they're "leveled out." The upgrade cost is increased with each level, but the required materials aren't as high. This lets players focus their efforts on a couple of important items to maximize their impact instead of spreading the upgrade costs across multiple pieces.
When an item is leveled out and is leveled out, it will be able to receive a new set of upgrade components, and an increase in the probability that the upgrade will succeed. This bonus is known as the Artisan's Power and it is reset to 0 in the event of failure, or increases when the upgrade is successful.
Once a piece is upgraded to its highest level it is able to receive affixes that will increase its features. The number of affixes available is determined by the item's type. For example an uncommon or exclusive weapon with a base that is standard will have only two affixes. A legend armor will have eight affixes.
Each upgrade will require an amount of Flightstones and crests, depending on the current level of the item and the item slot it's in. Typically, weapons will require more Flightstones to upgrade than other types of equipment.
If an item is not able to attain its maximum level The NPC will offer the player the option of transfer it to another character and then re-infuse it with another set of upgrades. This process can take between one and two hours, and costs the same amount of material. However, it has a lower success rate.
Engineers use a level in order to compare the height of the building to a known location, such as an existing benchmark. This is referred to as a "level-loop." This involves taking readings using the level, backsighting rod, and then turning the level to take the foresighting rod reading. This method guarantees that structures are built to a high level of accuracy and security.
Rerolling
Rerolling is the process of altering the upgrade components of an item. It is a crucial aspect of the game and can significantly increase the strength of an item upgrading and damage as well as other characteristics. You can do this via the menu for items or by pressing the Reroll button whenever you upgrade an item. Rerolling is costly and should only be performed in the rarest of circumstances.
The game allows players to recycle upgraded items, and use them to acquire tokens for rerolls. These tokens are then used to upgrade the original item or an item of the same type. Recyclable items have an indicator of the level which shows how much of the upgrade gauge has been filled. The rarity and cost of upgrading an item will determine the amount of level filled.
In the past, certain upgrade items were affixed with priority that made them easier to roll for than others. This meant that you'd receive the most crucial stats for your build more often than others. These included things such as the armor's total armor, thorns and control impaired duration reduction stats or the weapon's bonus attack speed and critical strike chance.
This changed with the recent patch. Priority affixes have been removed and all upgrades will have the same chance of rolling for all stats. This can be either good or bad, based on what you're looking for and want from your equipment.
Each upgraded item may also come with a unique fixed-value, fixed-value benefit that increases its power by a specific percentage. These bonuses are rolled in addition to the standard affixes. The more you upgrade a product, the better the chance of receiving the bonus of a different kind.
The game also includes a number of sets, that offer a set-based bonus when three or more upgraded items from the same set are equipped on an item. This is a good method of giving the character more power without spending a ton of money.
Many players have the habit of rerolling their weapons and gear, especially in the early stages. Rerolling is a method to gain a stronger character faster, which allows players to advance in the game and achieve higher levels.
Sets
Sets are collections of elements that can be put together in different ways. They can be of various dimensions, contain no elements at all, or contain just one element. They can be used for organizing data or separating information. They can also be used to study patterns. Sets can be classified in various ways in terms of size and shape.
The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom offers a wide range of upgradeable set items. Certain items are worth upgrading while others aren't. Sets of armor that offer high defense values or set bonuses are typically worth upgrading. Upgrades to weapons aren't as effective in improving stats as their purple counterparts. This makes them less appealing to upgrade in the event that your collection of armor and weapons pieces is already large.
Certain set items are upgraded to meet their own unique functions, which can be particularly useful in certain builds. This is evident in Aldur's Advance Boots and Guillaume's Face. Both were upgraded to Exceptional Winged Helms as well as Exceptional Mirrored Boots, respectively. This increased their defense from 217 to 321. (Strength requirements and Level requirements also increased).
Upgrades can also be done to bring certain items to par with the levels. For example, the Immortal King set has a wide range of levels, ranging between 29 and 76. Upgrading lower-level set items can boost their defense and increase their competitiveness in terms of damage.
Clicking the Upgrade button will display the attributes of the item as well as the items required to upgrade it. The attributes of the item will be displayed as well as any necessary items. To upgrade the No-mouth Face for example, 1.1K Scrap Materials will be required, as well as 250 Enchanted Dust and 5 Glowing Shards. Players can also verify the upgrade requirements for specific items at the Cyrodiil Golden vendor or Leaderboard.
In general, weapons and armor have a higher trade value when fully updated. Upgrades to gold are recommended for weapons that have spell/weapon-damage glyphs. This will result in a significant increase in their performance. Armor that has an upgraded appearance will also benefit from this because its defense will increase as it moves from purple to gold.
