Path of Exile Item Upgrading
In Path of Exile, item upgrading (read more on qvist-leach.thoughtlanes.net`s official blog) is among the best ways to upgrade your gear without relying on big-ticket drops or trade. This article will show you how to upgrade your items.
Upgrades in equipment can add an additional bonus to the item's base stats. This bonus scales depending on the rarity and level of the upgrade component.
Components
Upgrade components are the parts that improve your armor and weapons better. You can acquire them by the destruction of enemies, finding them in item level upgrade spheres or buying them from karma merchants. They can also be rescued from equipment that contains them, or by utilizing the highest-quality salvage kits like the Black Lion Salvage Kit or Ascended Salvage Tool. Unlike most other items upgrade components, upgrade components aren't destroyed when removed from an item upgrade.
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 quality of an item that can be upgraded or they can be used to increase the experience gained when upgrading an existing weapon or piece of gear. They can be made for additional benefits. A glyph that has been crafted can increase the chance of upgrading its target, while boost upgrades increase the defense or attack capabilities of a weapon.
You can connect an upgrade template to an item by selecting it from the edition GUI. This will display a list of upgrade components that the item can be upgraded to. You can also use the workbench for selecting an upgrade template. In either case, the item will be upgraded once enough upgrade components are gathered.
Each component has its own experience multiplier, which determines how much more experience an item will gain when it upgrades with that component. Organic components, for instance, have an increased multiplier of experience than mechanical components. Therefore, it is recommended to upgrade with organic components until you reach the multiplier of experience for the next rank of weapon or gear, and then change to mechanical upgrades.
Each item has an upgrade limit number that can be received. The number of upgradeable items is determined by their upgradeable rank, and the kind of upgrade they are able to receive. The highest level of upgrade is a weapon of tier 10. The most popular weapon upgrade is a gun with tier 6 and an armor upgrade of tier 5.
Sets
A set is a collection of items that share the same bonus. Each item in the set can be upgraded at least once, and each upgrade boosts the amount of bonuses that are guaranteed. The first time you upgrade an item, its primary stat will be +1. In subsequent upgrades the stats of the primary one will be increased a bit further (for instance, +1 to 12+/13+/14+) Every time you upgrade the item, one of its extra stats will be increased randomly.
Upgrades to a weapon may increase its damage base, which can be crucial for certain builds. However, weapons cannot be upgraded to a higher maximum defense roll than their regular base. It is a good method to increase the value of some set and unique items, but it's important to remember that they may not be better than a high-level runeword in any build.
If an item upgrader mod you're upgrading has a guaranteed bonus it is able to be rerolled once and its guarantee will be reset to 0. The same power dies are used to roll an item upgrades as it would be used to increase its level. However, the new item upgrader kit has different bonuses. The NPC [Armor] Boboko can upgrade your armor in Central Flarine. To upgrade an item, you'll need 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 with Gold at the crafting table, or in the Ultra Collection. The NPC will also provide an extra reward for each tier of the upgrade process. This reward can be rerolled a single time using the same materials and components as the first item.
Rerolling
A player can play rerolling any item that they acquire during the game, provided they have enough reroll tokens. If an upgraded item is to be rerolled, it will be exchanged for an equivalent version that is level 1 of the same item in a different set. Reroll tokens are available at the store for an amount of in-game currency. However, they cannot be refunded. The new upgraded item will have the same benefits of the previous one, but its stats will differ also.
Players can change the identification of their equipment as well as rerolling it by interacting with a NPC upgrader. This will change the identification from a weapons to armor, or reverse it. The base requirements and stats will remain the same. The change is permanent and will affect all characters who have the gear in question.
The player can also upgrade the item level for any equipped equipment. This is done by interacting with an upgrader NPC and getting upgrade components. The cost of upgrading will depend on the upgrade track, item type, and the number of crests. Each step will give an additional 5% of damage to weapons.
The upgrade of an item can make it more powerful however it can also lower its quality. Therefore, it is important to strike a balance between the two. Certain items might not be worth upgrading at all and some will require to be upgraded in order to reach their potential. For example an individual player may wish to upgrade a piece of breakpoint armor with an interesting modifier (% chance to block or FHR) to see what it can be.
The primary reason why people are able to reroll in Genshin Impact, or in any gacha-based game, is because they are trying to get a specific character or weapon that they wouldn't otherwise be able to acquire. These items can be costly and time-consuming to acquire, and the RNG isn't always a good fit. The only alternatives are to spend real money or grind a lot. Rerolling is a popular feature in Genshin Impact.
Leveling
When upgrading an item, you can upgrade the weapon or armor. This feature is not available in the current version of the game. I believe it was designed to to give some value to rare items, but as gear in general drops fairly quickly and can only be upgraded after a certain amount of levels it is likely that you will replace the item before it gets old enough. It's also not worth it to upgrade items with gem sockets as the power of the gem will far outweigh the increase in ilvl with the upgrade.
If you click the upgrade option on an item, you'll get a small screen with the upgrade template of the item as well as the cost of Valorstone and crest to increase 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 statistics that will be added to the upgraded item and also lists its current ilvl.
The cost of the Valorstone and Crest is calculated using the current Ilvl of the item as well as the upgrade templates. The ilvl will also be reduced by the upgrade template's reduction percentage of lvl. For instance weapons with an upgrade decrease of 8% will reduce its count by 8-8%.
In addition to the base ilvl boost the item will also get upgrades in other stats such as critical strike damage, PvE damage, block, parry and dodge rating. These increases are also based off the upgrade template.
In the upgrade template, you can see the amount of damage or defense the item will be able to sustain after being leveled up. This is displayed below the cost and the upgrade percentages. Apart from the practice equipment, all other armor and weapons gain these same stats when upgraded. The market will determine the value of these stats. A weapon or armor that has perfect rolls can fetch more than a non-upp’d version. The same is true for other armor pieces such as circlets or tiaras.
