Path of Exile Item Upgrading

The most effective way to improve your gear in Path of Exile is through upgrading your items. This allows you to improve it without having to rely on expensive drops or trades. This article will help you understand how to upgrade your items.

Upgrades to equipment provide an additional bonus to the item upgrader mod's base stats. This bonus scales with the upgrade component's level and rarity.

Components

Upgrade components are the items that improve your armor and weapons more effective. You can locate them by destroying enemies, purchasing them from karma vendors or finding them in the form of item-spheres. You can also salvage them from equipment that has the components, or by utilizing high-tier salvage kits such as Black Lion Salvage Kit and Ascended Salvage Tool. Contrary to other products upgrades aren't destroyed when removed from an item.

The main function of upgrade components is to allow an item to be upgraded, but they also serve other functions. They can be used to increase the level or experience gained from upgrading existing weapons or gear. They can also be made to give additional bonuses. A glyph that has been crafted can increase the chance of upgrading its target while an upgrade boosts the attack or defense attributes of the weapon.

By selecting an upgrade template from the GUI will allow you to bind it to an item. This will display the upgrade components that the item can be upgraded. Alternately, you can make use of the workbench to choose an upgrade template. In either scenario, an item will be upgraded when enough upgrade components have been gathered.

Each component has its own experience multiplier. This determines the amount of experience an item will gain when upgraded using that component. Organic components, for example have an increased multiplier of experience than mechanical components. It is therefore best to upgrade with organic components until you have reached the multiplier of experience for the next rank of weapon or gear, and then switch to mechanical upgrades.

In addition to the experience multiplier every item also has the maximum number of upgrades that it can receive. The number of upgrades available is determined by its upgradeable rank and the type of upgrade for the upgradeable item. The most powerful upgrade is a weapon that is tier 10. 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 group of items that have the benefit of. Each item in the set can be upgraded at least once, and the upgrade increases the amount of bonuses that are guaranteed. When you first upgrade an item, its primary stat will be +1. After subsequent upgrades the stats of the primary one will be boosted a bit more (for instance, +1 to 12+/13+/14+) Every time you upgrade the item with an additional stats is boosted randomly.

Upgrades to a weapon may increase its damage base, which may be crucial for certain builds. Weapons aren't upgraded to give an increased maximum defence roll 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 more effective than a high-level raneword in any build.

If an item upgrade you're upgrading has a guaranteed bonus it is able to be rerolled a few times and its guarantee will be reset to 0. The same power dies are used to roll an item, just as it would be used to increase its level. However the new item comes with different bonuses. Upgrading can be done through the NPC [Armorthe ] Boboko in Central Flarine. To upgrade an item, you will need a power die 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 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 each completed tier of the upgrade process. This reward can be rerolled a single time with the same materials as original item.

Rerolling

If players have enough to reroll tokens, they are able to play rerolling any item they have acquired during the game. When an upgraded item level upgrade gets to be rerolled, it will be exchanged for the level 1 version of the same item in another set. Reroll tokens are sold in the shop for a small amount of in-game currency. They cannot be refunded. The new upgraded item will have the same benefits of the previous one however its stats will be different also.

Players can change the identification of their equipment, in addition to changing it's roll by interfacing with a NPC upgrader. This will change the identification from an armored weapon to a weapon, or vice versa, all the while retaining its base stats and the attributes it requires. The change will last for a long time and affect all characters that own the gear.

The player can also upgrade their level of the item for any equipment equipped. This is done by talking to an upgrader NPC, and then obtaining upgrade items. This will cost a set amount of crests as well as Valorstones dependent on the upgrade track and item type. Each step will add an additional 5% of damage to weapons.

Upgrades can increase the capability of an item, but they also decrease the quality of an item. Therefore, it is important to find a balance between the two. Some items may not be worth upgrading at all, while others will need to be upgraded in order to realize their potential. One player may wish to upgrade their breakpoint armor using an interesting modification ( percent block chance or FHR) in order to explore what else it can be.

The primary reason why people are able to reroll in Genshin Impact, or in any gacha-based game, is because they're trying to get a specific character or weapon that they can't otherwise obtain. The process of obtaining these items can be expensive and time-consuming and the RNG gods don't always want to play. The only alternatives are to spend real money or grind for a long time. Rerolling is very popular in Genshin Impact.

Leveling

You can choose whether to upgrade the weapon or armor after upgrading an item. However, 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 the majority of gear drops quickly and can only be upgraded one level up, you'll usually replace the item before it gets old enough. It's also not worthwhile to upgrade items with gem sockets because the power of the gem will be greater than the higher ilvl that comes with the upgrade.

If you click the Upgrade item button on an item, you will be presented with a small window displaying the upgrade template of the item as well as the cost of crest and Valorstone to increase the item upgrade level. Armor and weapons have different costs, with the latter generally being more expensive. The upgrade template lists the stats that can be added to an upgraded item along with its current ilvl.

The cost of the Valorstone and the crest is calculated based on the current Ilvl of the item upgrader kit as well as the upgrade templates. Additionally, the ilvl of the new upgraded item will be decreased by the upgrade template's lvl decrease percentage. For instance the weapon that has an 8% upgrade decrease will decrease its count by 8-8 percent.

In addition to the base ilvl boost it will also be upgraded in other stats like critical strike damage, PvE damage, block, parry and dodge rating. Those increases are also based on the upgrade template.

The amount of defense and damage the item is able to receive as it gets leveled up can be shown below the upgrade cost and decrease percentages in the upgrade template window. In addition to practice equipment, all other armor and weapons gain these same stats when upgraded. The value of these additional stats will be dictated by the market, with a perfectly rolled piece of armor or weapon able to command much more trade value than non-upp'd versions. The same is true for other pieces of armor like circlets and Tiaras.
