Path of Exile Item Upgrading
In Path of Exile, item upgrading is one of the best ways to improve your gear without relying upon large-ticket drops or trade. This article will show you how to upp your gear effectively.
Upgrades to equipment grant an increase in the item's stats. The bonus is according to the rarity and strength of the upgrade component.
Components
Upgrade components are the things that make your weapons and armor more effective. They can be found by destroying enemies, buying them from karma sellers or finding them in item-spheres. You can also get them from equipment that contains the components, or by utilizing high-end salvage kits like 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.
Upgrade components are primarily used to upgrade an item but they can also be used for other reasons. They can be stacked to increase the level of an item that can be upgraded or they can be used to enhance the amount of experience gained from upgrading an existing weapon or piece of equipment. They can also be made to offer additional benefits. For instance, a specially crafted glyph will boost the chances of upgrading its target, while a boost upgrade will boost the defense or attack quality of a weapon or armor.
You can attach an upgrade template to an item upgrader kit by selecting it from the edition GUI. This will display the list of upgrade components that the item can be upgraded to. You can also use the workbench when selecting an upgrade template. In either scenario, an item will be upgraded after enough upgrade components have been gathered.
Each component has a unique experience multiplier. This determines the amount of experience an item can gain when upgraded with that component. For instance, organic components give more experience multipliers than mechanical ones. It is recommended to upgrade the organic components first, until you reach the next level in the weapon or equipment and then move on to mechanical upgrades.
Each item has an upgrade limit number that can be received. The number of upgrades are determined by the rank that can be upgraded and the type of upgrade for the upgradeable item. The highest level of upgrade is a weapon with the tier 10. However, the most common upgrades for weapons are a tier 6 weapon and a tier 5 armor upgrade.
Sets
A set is a set of items that share the same bonus. Each item can be upgraded at the minimum once. The upgrade will increase the amount of bonuses you can expect to receive. The first time you upgrade an item, its primary stat will be +1. After subsequent upgrades, primary stats are enhanced even more (for instance, +1 for 12+/13+/14+) and every time an item is upgraded, one of its additional stats is increased randomly.
Upgrades can also boost the base damage of a weapon. This could be crucial for certain types of weapons. However, weapons are not upgraded to have a greater defense base than their regular 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 the item you're upgrading has a guarantee bonus that is guaranteed, it can be rerolled once and the guarantee will be reset to 0. The same amount of power dies are used to reroll an item, just as it is used to level it up. However, the new item has different bonuses. Upgrades can be made through the NPC [Armor] Boboko in the Central Flarine. To upgrade an item, you will require a power dice of each kind (Dice 4 or 6 drop from monsters 21+ and Giants; dice 7 drops from bosses) and the appropriate 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 an additional reward for every tier that is completed of the upgrade process. This reward can be rerolled once, and the reroll will be made using the same materials used in the original item.
Rerolling
If a player has enough tokens for rerolling, they can roll any item they've accumulated during the game. When an item is rerolled it will be replaced by a level 1 version in another set. Reroll tokens are available at the store for small amounts of in-game currency. However, they aren't refundable. The new item will offer the same bonus features as the original, but the statistics will also be different.
Players can alter the identification of their equipment, in addition to rolling it again by interacting with an upgrader NPC. The equipment's identification will change from a weapons to armor or reverse the process. Its base stats and requirements will remain the same. The change is permanent and will affect all characters who own the gear in question.
The player can also upgrade their item level for any equipped equipment. This is accomplished by interacting with an upgrader NPC and getting upgrade items. The cost will vary depending on the upgrade track, item type and the number of crests. Each step will add 5percent more damage to weapons.
Upgrades can boost the power of an item, but they also can decrease the quality of an item. It is therefore essential to find a balance between the two. Some items may not be worth upgrading at all however, others will need to be upgraded in order to reach their potential. One player may wish to upgrade breakpoint armor with an interesting modifier ( percent block chance, or FHR) in order to see what else it can be.
Rerolling is a common practice in Genshin Impact and other gacha-based games. People do it in order to get a character or weapon that they wouldn't otherwise have. These items are time-consuming and costly to acquire, and the RNG does not always work in a positive way. The only choices left are to spend real cash or grind lots. This is why rerolling is a very popular choice in Genshin Impact.
Leveling
You can choose whether to upgrade the weapon or armor when you upgrade an item. But, this feature does absolutely nothing in the current game. I believe this feature was created to increase the value of expensive and rare items. However, since most equipment is replaced quickly, and it can only be leveled up one level, you will usually replace it before it gets too old. It's not worth upgrading items with gem sockets because the power of the gem will outweigh any increase in ilvl.
You will see a small box when you click the upgrade option on an item. It will show the template of the item, the Crest, as well as the cost for Valorstone to raise 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 that will 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 will also be reduced by the upgrade templates lvl reduction percentage. For example an upgrade of 8% will decrease the weapon's ilvl by 8 to 88%.
The item will get upgrades to other stats like critical strike damage, PvE damages, and block, parry, and dodge rating in addition to the base level. These increases are based on the upgrade template.
The amount of defense and damage the item will receive as it gets leveled up can be observed below the upgrade cost and decrease percentages in the upgrade template window. Aside from practice equipment, all weapons and armor gain these same stats when upgraded. The market will determine the worth of these stats. A weapon or armor with perfect rolls can command a much higher price than a non-upp’d version. The same applies to other pieces of armor, such as circlets and tiaras.
