Path of Exile Item Upgrading
In Path of Exile, item upgrading is one of the most effective ways to upgrade item your equipment without relying on large-ticket drops or trade. This article will show you how to upgrade your items effectively.
Upgrades in equipment can add a bonus to the item's base stats. The bonus is depending on the rarity and strength of the upgrade component.
Components
Upgrade components are the things that make your weapons and armor better. They can be obtained by the destruction of enemies, finding them in item spheres or buying them from karma dealers. You can also salvage them from equipment containing the components, or by utilizing salvage kits of high-end quality, such as Black Lion Salvage Kit and Ascended Salvage Tool. Contrary to other products upgrades aren't destroyed when they are removed from an item.
The primary 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 of an item that can be upgraded or they can be used to increase the amount of experience gained from upgrading an existing weapon or piece of equipment. They can also be made to offer additional benefits. For example, a created glyph can increase the chances of upgrading its target, and the boost upgrade item can boost the defense or attack attribute of a weapon or armor.
You can attach an upgrade template to an item by selecting it from the edition GUI. It will display an upgrade component list that the item can be upgraded to. You can also use the workbench to selecting an upgrade template. In either instance the item will be upgraded when enough upgrade components are gathered.
Each component is assigned an experience multiplier. This determines how much experience an item will gain when upgraded with that component. Organic components, for example, have a higher multiplier of experience than mechanical components. It is therefore recommended to upgrade with organic components until you reach the experience multiplier of the next rank of weapon or gear, then change to mechanical upgrades.
Each item upgrades has an upgrade maximum number that is available for. The number of upgradeable items is determined by their upgradeable rank and the type of upgrade they can receive. For instance, the most expensive possible upgrade for a weapon is a weapon of tier 10. The most common weapon upgrade is a gun with tier 6 and an armor upgrade of tier 5.
Sets
A set is a group of items that have the benefit of. Each item can be upgraded at the least once. The upgrade increases the guaranteed bonuses. When you first upgrade an item, its primary stat will be +1. On 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 additional stats is increased randomly.
Upgrades to a weapon may increase its damage base, which could be necessary for certain builds. However, weapons can't be upgraded to have a greater maximum defense roll than their base. Upgrades can be a great option to increase the value of a set and unique items, but it's important to note that they may not be superior to a high-level runeword in any build.
If an item you're upgrading has a guaranteed bonus, it can be rerolled once and the guarantee will be reset to 0. Rerolling costs the same amount of power dice as bringing an item up, but the new item will offer additional bonuses. The NPC [ArmorBoboko Boboko can upgrade your armor in Central Flarine. To upgrade an item, you will need the appropriate amount Minerals and Erons and a power dice of each kind. These are available at the crafting table or the Ultra Collector, and can be purchased with Gold. NPCs also offer special rewards for each completed level of the upgrade process. This reward can be rerolled one time using the same materials and components as the first item.
Rerolling
A player can reroll any item acquired in the game if they have enough tokens. If an upgraded item is being rerolled, it can be exchanged for an equivalent version that is level 1 of the same item from a different set. Reroll tokens can be bought from the store for small amounts of in-game currency. However, they are not refundable. The new upgraded item will still have the extra bonuses of the original one, but its stats will differ too.
In addition to rerolling items players can also change the identification of any item by interacting with an upgrader NPC. This will change the identification from a weapon to armor or vice versa, all the while keeping its basic stats and attributes that are required. The change will be permanent and will affect all characters who have the gear.
The player can also upgrade their item level for any equipment equipped. This is done by engaging with an upgrader NPC and getting upgrade items. The cost will differ based on the upgrade track, the item type and the number of crests. Each upgrade will add 5% more damage to weapons.
Upgrades can boost the capability of an item, but they can also reduce the quality of an item. It is therefore important to strike a balance between the two. Certain items aren't worth upgrading, while other items need to be upgraded to make them more effective. For example, a player might decide to upgrade a piece breakpoint armor that has an interesting modifier (% chance to block or FHR) to explore the possibilities of what it can become.
Rerolling is a common practice in Genshin Impact and other gacha-based games. It is a method used by players in order to get the character or weapon they would not otherwise be able to acquire. These items can be costly and time-consuming to obtain and the RNG does not always work in a positive way. The only other options are to invest money or grind extensively. Rerolling is extremely popular in Genshin Impact.
Leveling
You can choose whether to upgrade the weapon or armor after upgrading an item. But, this feature does absolutely nothing in the current game. I think this feature was designed to increase the value of rare and expensive items. However, since most gear is replaced fairly quickly and can only be upgraded one level, you'll typically replace it before it becomes too old. It is also not worth upgrading items with gem sockets, as the power of the gemstone will outweigh any increment in the level of.
If you click 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. Weapons and armor will have different costs, with the former usually being more expensive. The upgrade template outlines the stats to be added to an upgraded item as well as its current base ilvl.
The crest and Valorstone costs are calculated by analyzing the item's current ilvl as well as the upgrade template. Additionally, the ilvl of the new upgraded item will be reduced by the upgrade template's lvl decrease percentage. For instance, an upgrade of 8% will decrease the weapon's ilvl by 8 to 8percent.
The item will receive upgrades to other stats, such as critical strike damage, PvE damages and block, parry, and dodge rating, in addition to the base level. These increases are also based off the upgrade template.
The amount of defense and damage the item is able to receive when it is leveled can be observed below the upgrade cost and decrease percentages in the upgrade template window. Aside from practice equipment, all other items and armor get the same stats when they are leveled up. The value of these additional stats will be determined by the market, with a perfectly perfectly rolled weapon or piece of armor can command significantly more trade value than non-upp'd versions. The same is true for other armor pieces such as circlets or tiaras.
