Path of Exile Item Upgrading
The most effective way to upgrade your equipment in Path of Exile is through item upgrades. This allows you to enhance your gear without having to depend on costly drops or trades. This article will show you how to upgrade item your items efficiently.Upgrades to equipment provide an additional bonus to the item's stats. The amount of bonus varies based on the rarity and strength of the upgrade component.
Components
Upgrade components make your armour and weapons stronger. You can acquire them by destroying enemies, finding them in item spheres or purchasing them from karma sellers. They can also be rescued from equipment that contains them or by using the highest-quality salvage kits such as the Black Lion Salvage Kit or Ascended Salvage Tool. Contrary to other products upgrades aren't 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 boost the level or the amount of experience gained by upgrading weapons or gear. They can also be forged to give additional bonuses. A glyph that is crafted can boost the upgrade chances of its target, while boost upgrades increase the defense or attack capabilities of weapons.
Selecting an upgrade template in the GUI will allow you to bind it to an item. This will display the upgrade components to which the item can be updated. You can also use the workbench to select an upgrade template. In either scenario, an item will be upgraded once enough upgrade components have been collected.
Each component has its own experience multiplier, which affects how much more experience an item upgrade gets when it is upgraded with the component. For instance, organic components offer a higher experience multiplier than mechanical ones. It is recommended to upgrade organic components first until you reach the next rank in the weapon or equipment, then switch to mechanical upgrades.
Each item has an upgrade maximum number that can be received. The number of items that are upgradeable is determined by their upgradeable rank, and the kind of upgrade they are able to receive. The most powerful upgrade is a weapon that is 10th level. However, the most commonly used weapon upgrades are an tier 6 weapon as well as an armor upgrade of tier 5.
Sets
A set is a collection of objects that all share the same bonus. Each item can be upgraded at least once. The upgrade will increase the amount of bonuses you can expect to receive. The first time you upgrade the set piece or weapon is that it will be given an increase of +1 to its primary stat. After subsequent upgrades the primary stats will be increased a bit further (for example, +1 up 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 the damage base of a weapon. This may be important for certain types of builds. However, weapons can't be upgraded to have a greater defense base than their normal base. It is possible to increase value of specific sets and unique items by upgrading them, but they might not always be superior to a high-level Runeword.
If you're upgrading an Best item upgrader with an added bonus it can be rerolled one time, and its guarantee will reset back to 0. Rerolling costs the same amount of power dice as leveling an item, however the new item will have various bonuses. The NPC [ArmorBoboko Boboko can upgrade your armor in Central Flarine. To upgrade an Item upgrade you will require the proper amount of Minerals and Erons as well as a power dice of each kind. These are available at the crafting table or in the Ultra Collector, and can be purchased with Gold. The NPCs will also offer special rewards for each level of the upgrade process. This reward can be rerolled a second time, and the reroll will be made using the same materials as the original item.
Rerolling
A player can roll any item they have acquired in the game provided they have enough reroll tokens. If an upgraded item is being rerolled, it can be exchanged for a version at a level 1 of the same item in another set. Reroll tokens are available at the store for a small amount of in-game currency. They are not refundable. The new item upgraded will have the same benefits of the previous one, but its stats will differ as well.
Players can change the identification of their equipment as well as changing it's roll by interfacing with a NPC upgrader. This will change the identification as a weapon to armor or vice versa. Its base requirements and stats remain the same. The change will be permanent and affect all characters that own the equipment.
The player can also upgrade their level of the item for any equipped equipment. This can be done by interacting with an upgrader NPC and obtaining upgrade components. The cost will vary depending on the upgrade track, item upgrader kit type, and the number of crests. Each upgrade will add 5percent more damage to weapons.
Upgrading an item will make it more powerful, but it will reduce its effectiveness. Therefore, it is important to find a balance between the two. Some items may not be worth upgrading, while others will need to be upgraded in order to maximize their potential. A player might want to upgrade their breakpoint armor using an interesting modifier ( percent block chance, or FHR) in order to discover what it could be.
The primary reason people play rerolls in Genshin Impact, or in any gacha-based game is because they are trying to get a specific character or weapon that they can't otherwise obtain. These items can be time-consuming and expensive to acquire and the RNG doesn't always play nice. The only alternative is to spend real money or grind extensively. Rerolling is a popular option in Genshin Impact.
Leveling
When upgrading an item, you can pick to upgrade the weapon or armor. However, this feature does absolutely nothing in the current game. I believe it was intended to to give some value to rare items, but as gear in general drops fairly quickly and is only upgraded one level up, you'll usually replace the item before it becomes too old. It's also not worth upgrading items with gem sockets since the power of the gemstone will outweigh any increment in the ilvl.
You will see a small window when you click the upgrade option for an item. It will display the template of the item, the Crest, as well as the cost of Valorstone to increase the item's level. Armor and weapons have different costs, with the former generally being more expensive. The upgrade template lists the stats that can be added to an upgraded item along with its current base ilvl.
The cost of the Valorstone and crest is calculated using the item's current Ilvl and the upgrade templates. The ilvl is also decreased by the upgrade templates lvl reduction percentage. For example the weapon that has an 8% upgrade decrease will reduce its ilvl by 8 - 8 percent.
In addition to the base ilvl increase, the item will also be upgraded in other stats such as critical strike damage, damage from PvE and dodge, block and parry rating. The increases are also built on the upgrade template.
The amount of damage and defense that the item receives when it is leveled can be seen below the cost and upgrade decrease percentages in the upgrade template window. In addition to equipment for practice, all armor and weapons gain the same stats when they are leveled up. The value of these stats will be dictated by the market, with a rolled perfect version of a weapon or piece of armor able to command much higher trade values than non-upp'd versions. The same applies to other pieces of armor, like tiaras or circlets.
