Path of Exile Item Upgrading
The Best item upgrade way to improve your equipment in Path of Exile is through item upgrades. This lets you improve it without having to rely on expensive drops or trades. This article will teach you how to upgrade your items effectively.
Upgrades to equipment give an increase in the item level upgrade's stats. The bonus is depending on the rarity and strength of the upgrade component.
Components
Upgrade components are the parts that improve your armor and weapons better. You can find them by destroying enemies, purchasing them from karma sellers or finding them in the form of item-spheres. You can also get them from equipment that has the components or by using high-tier salvage kits such as Black Lion Salvage Kit and Ascended Salvage Tool. In contrast to other items upgrades aren't destroyed when they are removed from an item.
Upgrade components are primarily used to upgrade an item however, they can also be used for other reasons. They can be used to boost the value of an upgradeable item, or they can be used to enhance the experience gained by upgrading an existing weapon or piece of equipment. They can be made for additional benefits. For instance, a specially crafted glyph will boost the upgrade chance of its target, while the boost upgrade can increase the attack or defense property of a weapon, or armor.
You can bind an upgrade template to an item by selecting it from the edition GUI. This will display the upgrade components to which the item can be updated. You can also use the workbench to selecting an upgrade template. In either instance, the item upgrader will be upgraded once enough upgrade components are collected.
Each component has a unique experience multiplier. This determines the amount of experience an item can gain when upgraded using the component. For instance, organic components offer more experience multipliers than mechanical ones. You should upgrade organic components first until you reach the next level in the weapon or equipment then switch to mechanical upgrades.
In addition to the multiplier of experience Each item also comes with the maximum number of upgrades it can receive. The number of upgrades is determined by the upgradeable rank and the type of upgrade for the upgradeable item. For instance, the highest possible upgrade for a weapon is a weapon with tier 10. The most common weapon upgrade is a tier 6 gun and a armor upgrade of tier 5.
Sets
A set is a collection of items which share the benefit of. Each item can be upgraded at minimum once. The upgrade increases the amount of bonuses you can expect to receive. The first time you upgrade an item or set piece is that it will be given a +1 increase 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 boosted randomly.
Upgrades can also boost a weapon's damage base. This may be important for certain types of weapons. However, weapons cannot be upgraded to have a higher defense level than their base. It is a good way to improve the value of some set and unique items, but it is important to keep in mind 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. The same amount of power dies are used to reroll an item upgrade, just as it is used to upgrade it. However the new item comes with different bonuses. Upgrades can be made through the NPC [Armorthe ] Boboko in the 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. The NPC will also offer a special reward for every tier that is completed of the upgrade process. This reward is rerollable once and the reroll will use the same materials as the first item.
Rerolling
A player is able to reroll any item acquired in the game if they have enough tokens to do so. If an item is rerolled, it will be replaced by an equivalent level 1 version from another set. Reroll tokens are available from the store for small amounts of in-game currency, however they are not refundable. The new item upgraded will have the same bonuses of the original one however, its stats will be different too.
In addition to rerolling objects, players can also change the identity of any equipment by interacting with an upgrader NPC. This will change the identification from an armor to a weapon or vice versa, all the while keeping its basic stats and attributes that are required. The change is permanent and will affect all characters who have the gear in question.
The player can also upgrade their item level for any equipped equipment. This can be done by interacting with an upgrader NPC and obtaining upgrade components. This will cost a certain amount of crests and Valorstones depending on the upgrade track and the item type. Each upgrade will add an additional 5% of damage to weapons.
Upgrades can increase the power of an item, however they can also reduce the quality of an item. Therefore, it is important to find a balance between these two. Certain items might not be worth upgrading at all, while others will need to be upgraded to maximize their potential. A player may want to upgrade breakpoint armor with an interesting modification ( percent block chance or FHR) to explore what else it can be.
Rerolling is a standard practice in Genshin Impact and other gacha-based games. People use it to try to obtain the character or weapon they would not otherwise be able to acquire. These items are time-consuming and costly to acquire and the RNG doesn't always play nice. The only options left are to spend real cash or grind lots. For this reason, rerolling is a very popular option in Genshin Impact.
Leveling
When upgrading an item you can upgrade the weapon or armor. But, this feature does absolutely nothing in the current game. I believe it was designed to be a way to add value to rare items, but since gear in general drops fairly quickly and can only be upgraded one level up it is likely that you will replace the item before it gets too old. It's also not worthwhile to upgrade items that have gem sockets since the value of the gem will be greater than the higher ilvl that comes with the upgrade.
You will see a small box when you click on the upgrade option for an item. It will display the template for the item, its Crest, as well as the cost for Valorstone to raise the level of the item. The cost of upgrades will vary based on weapons and armor and the latter typically costing more than the latter. The upgrade template lists the stats that will be added to an upgraded item, along with its current base ilvl.
The cost of the Valorstone and the crest is calculated based on the current Ilvl of the item and the upgrade templates. The ilvl will also be decreased by the upgrade templates reduction percentage of lvl. For example, an upgrade of 8% will reduce the weapon's ilvl by 8 to 8percent.
In addition to the base ilvl boost the item will also be upgraded 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 the item will be able to sustain after it is leveled up. This is displayed below the cost and the upgrade percentages. All weapons and armor apart from practice equipment get these stats once they've been leveled up. The market determines the value of these stats. A weapon or armor with perfect rolls can command more than an unupp'd version. Similar is the case for other pieces of armor like tiaras and circlets.
