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 show you how to upgrade your gear.
Upgrades to equipment give a bonus on the item upgrades's stats. The bonus is depending on the rarity and strength of the upgrade component.
Components
Upgrade components make your armour and weapons stronger. You can locate them by destroying enemies, buying them from karma vendors, or finding them in items-spheres. You can also get them from equipment that has the components, or by utilizing high-tier salvage kits such as Black Lion Salvage Kit and Ascended Salvage Tool. Unlike most other items upgrades aren't destroyed when removed from an item.
Upgrade components are typically used to upgrade an item but they can also be used for other reasons. They can be stacked to boost the level or the amount of experience gained by upgrading equipment or weapons. They can also be made to provide extra bonuses. A glyph that has been crafted can increase the chance of upgrading its target, and an upgrade boosts the attack or defense capabilities of weapons.
You can connect an upgrade template to an item by selecting it from the edition GUI. This will show the upgrade components that the item can be upgraded. You can also use the workbench to selecting an upgrade template. In either scenario, an item will be upgraded when enough upgrade components have been gathered.
Each component is assigned an experience multiplier. This determines how much experience an item will gain when upgraded using the component. Organic components, for example have an increased multiplier of experience than mechanical components. Therefore, it is recommended to upgrade with organic components until you have reached the experience multiplier of the next rank of weapon or gear, and then change to mechanical upgrades.
In addition to the experience multiplier every item also has the maximum number of upgrades it can receive. The number of items that can be upgraded is determined by their upgradeable rank and the kind of upgrade they are able to receive. For instance, the most expensive possible upgrade for a weapon is a weapon with tier 10. The most commonly used upgrade is a gun of tier 6 and a armor upgrade of tier 5.
Sets
A set is a collection of items which all have the same bonus. Each item can be upgraded at the minimum once. The upgrade will increase the bonuses that are guaranteed. When you first upgrade an item, its primary stat will be +1. On subsequent upgrades the primary stats will be boosted a little further (for example, +1 to 12+/13+/14+) Each time you upgrade the item, one of its extra stats is boosted randomly.
Upgrades to a weapon may increase its damage base, which can be necessary for certain builds. Weapons cannot be upgraded for greater maximum defence rolls than their base. Upgrading can be a good option to increase the value of some set and unique items, however it is important to keep in mind that they might not be more effective than a high-level raneword in any build.
If you're upgrading an item that comes with an added bonus, the item can be rerolled a single time, and its guarantee will reset to 0. The same power die is used to reroll an item as it would be used to upgrade it. 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 dice of each type (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 also offer special rewards for each level of the upgrade process. This reward can be rerolled a single time with the same materials as original item.
Rerolling
A player can reroll any item acquired in the game provided they have enough reroll tokens to do so. If an upgraded item upgrading is to be rerolled, it will be exchanged for the version at a level 1 of the same item in a different set. Reroll tokens are available at the store for a small amount of in-game currency. They are non-refundable. The new item will come with the same bonuses as the previous one, but the stats will also differ.
Players can alter the identification of equipment in addition to rerolling it by interacting with a NPC upgrader. This will change the identification from a weapons to armor or reverse it. The base stats and requirements remain the same. The change will be permanent and affect all characters who have the equipment.
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 items. This will cost a set amount of crests as well as Valorstones dependent on the upgrade track and type. Each upgrade will add an additional 5% of damage to weapons.
Upgrades can increase the power of an item, but they also can decrease the quality of an item. Therefore, it is crucial to balance the two. Certain items might not be worth upgrading at all, while others will need to be upgraded to realize their potential. A player might want to upgrade their breakpoint armor using an interesting modifier (% block chance or FHR) to see what else it can be.
Rerolling is a common practice in Genshin Impact and other gacha-based games. People do it to try to obtain a character or weapon that they wouldn't otherwise have. The process of obtaining these items can be costly and time-consuming and the RNG gods do not always want to play. The only alternative is to invest money or grind for a long time. Rerolling is a popular option in Genshin Impact.
Leveling
You can decide to upgrade the weapon or armor when you upgrade an item. However, this feature is absolutely nothing in the current game. I think this feature was created to add some value to rare and expensive items. However, since the majority of equipment is replaced quickly and can only be leveled up to a certain level, you will usually replace it before it gets too old. It's also not worth upgrading items using gem sockets because the power of the gemstone will outweigh any increment in the level of.
If you click on the upgrade option on an item, you'll be presented with a small window displaying the upgrade template for the item and the crest and Valorstone costs to boost the level of the item. Armor and weapons have different prices, with the latter generally being more expensive. The upgrade template outlines the stats that will be added to the upgraded item. It will also list its current base ilvl.
The cost of the Valorstone and Crest is calculated using the current Ilvl of the item upgrade as well as the upgrade templates. In addition the ilvl of the new upgraded item will be reduced by the upgrade template's lvl decrease percentage. For example, an upgrade of 8% will reduce the weapon's ilvl by 8 to 8%.
The item will be upgraded to other stats, such as critical strike damage, PvE damage, and block, parry, and dodge rating in addition to the base level. Those increases are also built on the upgrade template.
In the upgrade template, you can see the amount of damage or defense an item will be able to sustain after it is leveled up. This is shown below the cost as well as the upgrade percentages. All weapons and armor that are not practice equipment get these stats when they level up. The market will determine the value of these stats. A weapon or armor that has perfect rolls can command a much higher price than an unupp'd version. This is also true for other pieces of armor such as circlets or Tiaras.
