Path of Exile Item Upgrading

In Path of Exile, item upgrading is among the most effective ways to upgrade your equipment without relying on big-ticket drops or trade. This article will teach you how to upp your items efficiently.

Upgrades to equipment grant an increase in the item's stats. This bonus is based on the upgrade component level and rarity.

Components

Upgrade components are the parts that improve your armor and weapons better. You can find them by destroying enemies, purchasing them from karma vendors or finding them in item-spheres. You can also get them from equipment that contains the components or by using salvage kits of high-end quality, such as Black Lion Salvage Kit and Ascended Salvage Tool. In contrast to other items upgrade components, upgrade components aren't destroyed when removed from an item.

The main purpose of upgrade components is to allow an item to be upgraded, but they also serve other functions. They can be stacked to boost the value of an upgradeable item, or they can be used to increase the experience gained by upgrading an existing weapon or piece of equipment. They can be made for additional bonuses. For instance, a specially created glyph can increase the chance of upgrading its target, while an upgrade boost will enhance the defense or attack quality of a weapon or armor.

Selecting an upgrade template from the GUI will let you bind it to an item upgrade. This will display the upgrade components that the item can be upgraded. Alternatively, you can make use of the workbench to choose an upgrade template. In either instance the item will be upgraded after enough upgrade components have been collected.

Each component has its own experience multiplier. This determines how much experience an item gains when upgraded using the component. For instance, organic components give an experience multiplier that is higher than mechanical ones. It is therefore Best item upgrader to upgrade using organic components until you reach the multiplier of experience for the next rank of the weapon or gear, and then move to mechanical upgrades.

In addition to the experience multiplier Each item also comes with a maximum number of upgrades it can receive. The number of upgrades are determined by its upgradeable rank and the type of upgrade for the upgradeable item. The most powerful upgrade is a weapon of tier 10. However, the most common weapon upgrades are the tier 6 weapon and a tier 5 armor upgrade.

Sets

A set is a collection of items that share the same bonus. Each item can be upgraded at least once. The upgrade will increase the bonuses that are guaranteed. 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 stats of the primary one will be boosted a little 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.

The upgrade of a weapon can increase the damage base, which can be crucial for certain builds. However, weapons can't be upgraded to have a higher defense base than their normal base. It is possible to increase the value of certain set and unique items by upgrading them, however they might not always be superior to a higher-level Runeword.

If you're upgrading an item that comes with an added bonus, the item can be rerolled one time and the guarantee will reset to 0. The same power dies are used to roll an item upgrader as it would be to increase its level. However, the new item has different bonuses. Upgrades can be made by visiting the NPC [ArmorBoboko. 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. They can be purchased with Gold at the crafting table, or in the Ultra Collection. NPCs will also provide special rewards for each stage of the upgrade process. This reward is rerollable once and the reroll will be made using the same materials as the first item.

Rerolling

A player can play rerolling any item that they acquire during the game, provided they have enough tokens to do so. If an item is rerolled, it will be replaced with the same level in another set. Reroll tokens can be purchased 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 differ also.

In addition to rerolling items, players can also alter the identification of any item by interfacing with an upgrader NPC. The equipment's identification will change from a weapons to armor, or vice versa. Its base stats and requirements remain the same. The change is permanent and will affect all characters that own the gear in question.

Players can also increase the item level of any equipped equipment by obtaining upgrade components and interacting with the item's upgrader NPC. It will cost a specific number of crests and Valorstones according to the upgrade track and type. Each step will add 5% more damage to weapons.

Upgrading an item can boost its power, but it will also lower its quality. Therefore, it is important to find a balance between the two. Certain items might not be worth upgrading however, others will need to be upgraded in order to realize their potential. One player may wish to upgrade breakpoint armor with an interesting modifier (% block chance or FHR) to explore what else it can become.

Rerolling is a common practice in Genshin Impact and other gacha-based games. It is a method used by players in order to get a character or weapon they cannot otherwise get. These items can be expensive and time-consuming and the RNG gods do not always want to play ball. The only choices left is to shell out real money or grind a lot. This is why rerolling is a very popular choice in Genshin Impact.

Leveling

You can choose whether to upgrade the weapon or armor when upgrading an item. This feature is not available in the current version of the game. I believe this feature was designed to give value to rare and expensive items. However, as most equipment is replaced quickly, and can only be leveled up one level, you'll usually replace it before it becomes too old. It's also not worth it to upgrade items with gem sockets as the power of the gem will far outweigh the higher ilvl that comes with the upgrade.

When you click on the upgrade option on an item, you'll see a small window with the item's upgrade Item template and the cost of Valorstone and crest to increase the item level. The cost of upgrades will vary based on armor and weapons and the latter typically costing more than the latter. The upgrade template outlines the stats to be added to an upgraded item as well as its current ilvl.

The crest and Valorstone costs are calculated according to the current ilvl of the item and the upgrade template. The ilvl is also reduced by the upgrade template's lvl reduction percentage. For instance an upgrade of 8% can reduce the weapon's ilvl by 8 to 8%.

In addition to the base ilvl increase the item will also be upgraded in other stats such as critical strike damage, PvE damage and dodge, block and parry rating. The increases are also built on the upgrade template.

The amount of defense and damage the item will receive as it gets leveled up can be seen below the upgrade cost and decrease percentages in the upgrade template window. All weapons and armor, except practice equipment, gain these stats upon leveling up. The market determines the value of these stats. A weapon or armor with perfect rolls can fetch an incredibly higher price than an unupp'd version. This is also true for other armor pieces such as circlets or Tiaras.
