Path of Exile Item Upgrading
The most effective way to upgrade your equipment in Path of Exile is through upgrade of your items. This allows you to upgrade your gear without having rely on expensive trades or drops. This article will show you how to upgrade your items.
Upgrades to equipment provide an additional bonus to the item's base stats. This bonus scales depending on the rarity and strength of the upgrade component.
Components
Upgrade components make your weapons and armour better. You can find them by destroying enemies, purchasing them from karma vendors, or finding them in items-spheres. They can also be salvaged from equipment with them, or by utilizing a high-tier salvage kit like the Black Lion Salvage Kit or Ascended Salvage Tool. Upgrade components are not destroyed when they are removed from an item.
Upgrade components are primarily used to improve an item but they can also be used for other reasons. They can be used to boost the level or experience gained by upgrading existing equipment or weapons. They can also be forged to offer additional benefits. For instance, a designed glyph will increase the upgrade chance of its target, and a boost upgrade will enhance the defense or attack attribute of a weapon or armor.
You can connect an upgrade template to an item by selecting it from the edition GUI. This will display an upgrade component list that the item can be upgraded to. You can also use the workbench when selecting an upgrade template. In either case, the item will be upgraded once enough upgrade components are collected.
Each component has a distinct experience multiplier, which affects the amount of experience an item receives when it is upgraded by that component. Organic components, for example have a higher multiplier of experience than mechanical components. It is therefore best to upgrade with organic components until you reach the experience multiplier of the next rank of the weapon or gear, then move to mechanical upgrades.
Each item has a maximum upgrade number that is available for. The number of items that can be upgraded is determined by their upgradeable rank, and the kind of upgrade they can get. For instance, the highest possible weapon upgrade is a tier 10 weapon. However, the most common weapon upgrades are the tier 6 weapon and an 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 minimum once. The upgrade will increase the guaranteed bonuses. The first time you upgrade an item, its initial stat will be +1. In subsequent upgrades the primary stats will be boosted a bit more (for example, +1 to 12+/13+/14+) Each time you upgrade the item with an additional stats is boosted randomly.
Upgrades can also increase the damage base of a weapon. This could be crucial for certain types of 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's important to remember that they may not be superior to a high-level runeword in any build.
If an item you're upgrading comes with a guaranteed bonus that is guaranteed, it can be rerolled once, and then its guarantee will be reset to 0. The same amount of power die is used to roll an item as it would be used to level it up. However the new item comes with different bonuses. The NPC [ArmorBoboko Boboko can upgrade your armor in Central Flarine. To upgrade an item, you will need the appropriate amount Minerals and Erons and a power dice of each type. These can be bought with Gold at the crafting table or in the Ultra Collection. The NPCs will also offer special rewards for each level of the upgrade process. This reward can be rerolled one time using the same materials as original item.
Rerolling
If the player has enough to reroll tokens, they are able to play rerolling any item they've accumulated during the game. When an upgraded item gets being rerolled, it can be exchanged for the level 1 version of the same item in a different set. Reroll tokens can be purchased from the store for an amount of in-game currency, but they are not refundable. The new item will offer the same extra bonuses as the previous one, but the statistics will also differ.
In addition to rerolling items, players can also change the identity of any equipment by interfacing with an upgrader NPC. This will change the identification from a weapon to an armor or vice versa. The basic stats and requirements will remain the same. The change is permanent and will affect all characters that are wearing the gear.
The player can also upgrade their level of the item for any equipped equipment. This is accomplished by engaging with an upgrader NPC, and then obtaining upgrade components. The cost will vary depending on the upgrade track, item type and the number of crests. In the case of weapons, each step will add five percent to the damage.
Upgrades can increase the capability of an item, but they also decrease the quality of an item. It is therefore important to balance the two. Certain items might not be worth upgrading however, others will need to be upgraded in order to reach their potential. For instance one player might want to upgrade a piece breakpoint armor that has an interesting modifier (% chance to block or FHR) to explore the possibilities of what it can be.
Rerolling is a popular practice in Genshin Impact and other gacha-based games. It is a method used by players to try to obtain a character or weapon they cannot otherwise get. Getting these items can be expensive and time-consuming, and the RNG gods don't always want to play. The only choices left are to spend real cash or grind lots. Rerolling is a popular feature in Genshin Impact.
Leveling
You can decide to upgrade the weapon or armor after upgrading an item. However, this feature is absolutely nothing in the current game. I believe it was designed to to add value to rare items, but since equipment generally drops quickly and can only be upgraded one level up and you'll typically replace the item before it becomes too old. It's also not worth upgrading items with gem sockets because the power of the stone will outweigh any increment in the level of.
When you click the upgrade option on an item, you will get a small screen with the item's upgrade template and the cost of crest and Valorstone to boost the level of the item. Armor and weapons will have different costs, with the latter generally being more expensive. The upgrade template lists the stats to be added to an upgraded item, as well as its current base ilvl.
The Crest and Valorstone costs are calculated based on the item's current ilvl as well as the upgrade template. The ilvl will also be reduced by the upgrade templates lvl reduction percentage. For item upgrades , an upgrade of 8% will decrease the weapon's ilvl by 8 to 8%.
The item will get upgrades to other stats like critical strike damage, PvE damage, and block, parry and dodge rating in addition to the base ilvl. These enhancements are also based on the upgrade template.
The amount of damage and defense that 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 armor and weapons that are not practice equipment get these stats once they've been leveled up. The value of these additional stats will be determined by the market, with a rolled perfect version of a piece of armor or weapon is able to command more in trade value than unupp'd versions. The same applies to other pieces of armor, such as circlets and Tiaras.
