Path of Exile Item Upgrading
The best method to improve your gear in Path of Exile is through item upgrades. This lets you enhance your gear without having to depend on costly trades or drops. This article will teach you how to upgrade your items effectively.
Upgrades to equipment provide an increase in the item's stats. This bonus is based on the upgrade component's level and rarity.
Components
Upgrade components make your weapons and armour better. They can be found by destroying enemies, purchasing them from karma sellers or finding them in the form of item-spheres. You can also salvage them from equipment that has the components or by using high-end salvage kits like Black Lion Salvage Kit and Ascended Salvage Tool. In contrast to other items, upgrade components are not destroyed when removed from an item.
The primary function of upgrade components is to allow an item to be upgraded, however, they also serve other functions. They can be stacked to increase the level of an upgradeable item, or they can be used to increase the amount of experience gained from upgrading an existing weapon or piece of gear. They can be made for extra bonuses. A crafted glyph can increase the chance of upgrading its target, while an upgrade boosts the defense or attack capabilities of the weapon.
You can connect an upgrade template to an item by selecting it from the edition GUI. This will display the upgrade components that the item can be updated. You can also make use of the workbench to choose an upgrade template. In either case, the item will be upgraded once enough upgrade components have been gathered.
Each component has its own experience multiplier, which affects the amount of experience an item receives when it is upgraded by that component. Organic components, for instance, have more experience multipliers than mechanical components. It is therefore recommended to upgrade using organic components until you have reached the experience multiplier for the next rank of the weapon or gear, and then change to mechanical upgrades.
Each item has an upgrade maximum number that it is possible to receive. The number of items that can be upgraded is determined by their upgradeable rank and the type of upgrade they can get. For instance, the most expensive possible weapon upgrade is a weapon with tier 10. However, the most common upgrade for weapons is the tier 6 weapon and an armor upgrade of tier 5.
Sets
A set is a set of items that all share the same bonus. Each item in the set can be upgraded at least once and the upgrade will increase its guaranteed bonuses. The first time you upgrade an item, its primary stat will be +1. After subsequent upgrades the primary stats will be boosted a bit more (for example, +1 up to 12+/13+/14+) Each time you upgrade the item, one of its extra stats is boosted randomly.
Upgrades can also increase the base damage of a weapon. This could be crucial for certain builds. However, weapons cannot be upgraded to have a higher defense level than their normal base. It is a good option to increase the value of a set and unique items, however it is important to keep in mind that they may not be more effective than a high-level raneword in any build.
If the item upgrader mod you're upgrading comes with a guaranteed bonus it is able to be rerolled only once and the guarantee will be reset to 0. The same power dies are used to roll an item, just as it would be to increase its level. 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 a power die of each kind (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. NPCs will also provide special rewards for each completed stage of the upgrade item process. The reward can be rerolled one time using the same materials as the original item.
Rerolling
If the player has enough to reroll tokens, they are able to reroll any item that they've acquired during the game. When an upgraded item gets rerolled, it will be exchanged for an equivalent level 1 version of the same item in a different set. Reroll tokens can be purchased at the store for small amounts of in-game currency, however they cannot be refunded. The upgraded item will have the same bonuses of the first, but its stats will differ too.
In addition to rerolling items, players can also change the identification of any equipment by interfacing with an upgrader NPC. This will change the identity from a weapon to armor or vice versa, all the while retaining its base stats and required attributes. The change will last for a long time and affect all characters that own the equipment.
Players can also increase the level of their item on any equipped device by obtaining upgrade items and conversing with the upgrader NPC of the item. This will cost a set amount of crests and Valorstones depending on the upgrade track and the item type. Each upgrade will add 5% more damage to weapons.
Upgrades can increase the capability of an item, however they also can decrease the quality of an item. Therefore, it is crucial to keep both in check. Certain items might not be worth upgrading however, others will need to be upgraded in order to realize their potential. One player may wish to upgrade their breakpoint armor using an interesting modifier (% block chance or FHR) in order to explore what else it can become.
The primary reason people are able to reroll in Genshin Impact, or in any gacha-based game is because they're trying to acquire a certain weapon or character that they wouldn't otherwise be able to acquire. These items can be time-consuming and expensive to obtain, and the RNG does not always work in a positive way. The only options left are to spend real cash or grind a lot. Rerolling is a popular option in Genshin Impact.
Leveling
When upgrading an item you can pick to increase the level of the weapon or armor. 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 because the majority of gear drops quickly and is only upgraded one level up and you'll typically replace the item before it becomes too old. It's not worth it to upgrade items that have gem sockets as the power of the gem will outweigh the higher ilvl that comes with the upgrade.
You will see a small box when you click the upgrade option for an item. It will display the template for the item, its crest, and the Valorstone cost to raise the item's level. The cost will differ 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 level upgrade and will also list its current base ilvl.
The crest and Valorstone costs are calculated according to the current ilvl of the item and the upgrade template. In addition the ilvl of a new upgraded item will be decreased by the upgrade template's lvl decrease percentage. For example the weapon that has an 8% upgrade decrease will decrease its count by 8-8 percent.
The item will get 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 based on the upgrade template.
The amount of defense and damage the item will receive when leveled up can be observed below the cost and upgrade decrease percentages in the upgrade template window. Apart from the practice equipment, all armor and weapons gain the same stats once upgraded. The value of these additional stats will be determined by the market, with a perfectly perfectly rolled version of a piece of armor or weapon able to command much higher trade values than non-upp'd versions. The same applies to other pieces of armor like circlets and tiaras.
