Path of Exile Item Upgrading
In Path of Exile, item upgrading is among the best ways to improve your gear without relying on massive drops or trade. This article will teach you how to upgrade your items efficiently.
Upgrades to equipment give a bonus on the item's stats. The bonus increases with upgrade component's level and rarity.
Components
Upgrade components are the things that improve your armor and weapons more effective. You can acquire them by destroying enemies, finding them in spheres of items or purchasing them from karma sellers. They can also be rescued from equipment that contains them, or through the highest-quality salvage kits such as the Black Lion Salvage Kit or Ascended Salvage Tool. Upgrade components cannot be destroyed by removing them from an item.
The primary function of upgrade components is to allow an item to be upgraded, but they also serve other purposes. They can be used to increase the level or experience gained from upgrading existing equipment or weapons. They can also be forged to provide extra bonuses. For instance, a created glyph can increase the chances of upgrading its target, whereas a boost upgrade will increase the attack or defense attribute of a weapon or armor.
Selecting an upgrade template from the GUI will allow you to bind it to an item. This will show the upgrade components that the item can be updated. You can also make use of the workbench to choose an upgrade template. In either case, the item will be upgraded once enough upgrade components have been collected.
Each component has a different experience multiplier, which affects how much more experience an item will gain when it is upgraded by the component. Organic components, for example, have a higher multiplier of experience than mechanical components. You should upgrade your organic components first until you reach the next level in the weapon or equipment and then move on to mechanical upgrades.
In addition to the multiplier for experience, each item also has an maximum number of upgrades that it can receive. The number of upgradeable items is determined by their upgradeable rank, and the kind of upgrade they can get. For instance, the most expensive possible upgrade for a weapon is a weapon with tier 10. The most popular weapon upgrade is a tier 6 gun and a armor upgrade of tier 5.
Sets
A set is a collection of items that share the same bonus. Each item in the set can be upgraded at least once and each upgrade boosts its guaranteed bonuses. The first time you upgrade the set piece or weapon is that it will be given a +1 increase to its primary stat. Following upgrades, the primary stats will be boosted even further (for instance, +1 for 12+/13+/14+) and every time an item is upgraded, one of its additional stats increases randomly.
Upgrades to a weapon may increase the damage base, which may be necessary for certain builds. Weapons aren't upgraded to give an increased maximum defence roll than their base. It is a good method to increase the value of some set and unique items, but it's important to note that they may not be more effective than a high-level raneword in any build.
If you're upgrading an item with a bonus, the item can be rerolled a single time, and its guarantee will reset back to zero. Rerolling is the same amount of power dice as bringing an item, however the new item will have different extra bonuses. Upgrades can be made by visiting the NPC [Armor] Boboko in Central Flarine. To upgrade an item you will need the appropriate amount Minerals and Erons and a power dice of each type. They 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 one time with the same materials as original item.
Rerolling
A player can play rerolling any item that they acquire during the game, provided they have enough reroll tokens to be able to do so. When an upgraded item gets to be rerolled, it will be exchanged for the version that is level 1 of the same item in another set. Reroll tokens can be purchased from the store for small amounts of in-game currency, but they cannot be refunded. The new upgraded item will still come with the extra bonuses of the original one, but its stats will be different as well.
In addition to rerolling items, players can also alter the identification of any equipment by interacting with an upgrader NPC. This will change the identification from a weapons to armor, or reverse it. The basic stats and requirements 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 items. The cost will vary depending on the upgrade track, item type and number of crests. Each step will give 5% more damage to weapons.
Upgrading an item can boost its power however it can reduce its effectiveness. It is therefore important to find a balance between the two. Some items aren't worth upgrading, whereas others need to be upgraded to maximize their potential. A player may want to upgrade breakpoint armor with an interesting modification ( percent block chance or FHR) in order to explore what else it can be.
Rerolling is a common practice in Genshin Impact and other gacha-based games. It is a method used by players in order to get the character or weapon that they wouldn't otherwise have. These items are time-consuming and costly to obtain, and the RNG isn't always a good fit. The only alternatives are to invest money or grind a lot. For this reason, rerolling is a very popular choice in Genshin Impact.
Leveling
When upgrading an item you can pick to increase the level of the weapon or armor. This feature is not available in the current version of the game. I believe it was intended to be a way to give some value to rare items, but since the majority of gear drops quickly and can only be upgraded after a certain amount of levels, you'll usually replace the item before it gets old enough. It is also not worth upgrading items using gem sockets, as the power of the stone will outweigh any increase in the ilvl.
You will see a small window when you click the upgrade option for an item. It will display the template for the item, its Crest, as well as the cost of Valorstone to increase the level of the item. The costs will vary between the armor and weapons as well, with the former typically costing more than the latter. item upgrade lists the stats to be added to an upgraded item, and also the current base ilvl.
The Crest and Valorstone costs are calculated based on the item's current ilvl and the upgrade template. In addition, the ilvl of the new upgraded item will be reduced by the template's lvl decrease percentage. For example weapons with an 8% upgrade decrease will decrease its value by 8-8%.
The item will receive upgrades to other stats, such as critical strike damage, PvE damages and block, parry and dodge rating in addition to the base ilvl. These upgrades are also based on the upgrade template.
In the upgrade template you can determine the amount of damage or defense that the item will suffer after it is leveled up. This is listed below the cost as well as the upgrade percentages. Apart from the practice equipment, all armor and weapons gain the same stats when they are leveled up. The market determines the value of these stats. A weapon or armor that has perfect rolls can fetch a much higher price than an unupp'd version. The same is true for other pieces of armor, such as circlets and tiaras.
