Path of Exile Item Upgrading
The best method to upgrade your gear in Path of Exile is through item upgrades. This lets you upgrade your gear without having depend on costly trades or drops. This article will teach you how to upgrade your items.
Upgrades to equipment provide an additional bonus to the item's base stats. This bonus scales with the upgrade component level and rarity.
Components
Upgrade components make your armour and weapons better. They can be found by destroying enemies, purchasing them from karma vendors, or finding them in the form of item-spheres. They can also be salvaged from equipment with them, or through a high-tier salvage kit like the Black Lion Salvage Kit or Ascended Salvage Tool. Upgrade components cannot be destroyed by removing them from an item.
The main purpose of upgrade components is to enable an item to be upgraded, but they also serve other purposes. They can be used to boost the level or experience gained from upgrading existing equipment or weapons. They can also be forged to give additional bonuses. For example, a crafted glyph will boost the chance of upgrading its target, while the boost upgrade can boost the defense or attack property of a weapon, or armor.
You can bind an upgrade template to an item 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 for selecting an upgrade template. In either scenario, the item will be upgraded once enough upgrade components have been collected.
Each component has its own experience multiplier. This determines how much experience an item can gain when upgraded using that component. Organic components, for instance have more experience multipliers than mechanical components. Therefore, it is recommended to upgrade using organic components until you reach the multiplier of experience for the next rank of weapon or gear, then change to mechanical upgrades.
In addition to the multiplier of experience Each item also comes with a maximum number of upgrades that it can receive. The number of upgrades available is determined by the rank that can be upgraded and the type of upgrade for the upgradeable item. For instance, the highest possible upgrade for a weapon is a tier 10 weapon. The most popular weapon upgrade is a gun of tier 6 and a armor upgrade of tier 5.
Sets
A set is a collection of items that have bonuses. Each item in the set can be upgraded at least once, and the upgrade increases the guaranteed bonuses. The first time you upgrade an item, its primary stat will be +1. After subsequent upgrades, the primary stats are 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 could be important for some builds. However, weapons cannot be upgraded to have a greater defense base than their base. Upgrades can be a great option to increase the value of some set and unique items, but it is important to keep in mind that they're not necessarily better than 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 only once and the guarantee will be reset to zero. The same amount of power dies are used to roll an item, just as it is used to increase its level. However, the new item has different bonuses. Upgrades can be made at the NPC [Armor] Boboko in the Central Flarine. To upgrade an item you will need the appropriate amount Minerals and Erons as well as 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 stage of the upgrade process. This reward is rerollable once and will use the same materials used in the original item.
Rerolling
If the player has enough tokens for rerolling, they can reroll any item that they've accumulated during the game. When an upgraded item is being rerolled, it can be exchanged for a level 1 version of the same item from a different set. Reroll tokens are available in the shop for a small amount of in-game currency. They are non-refundable. The upgraded item will have the same bonuses of the original one however, its stats will be different as well.
Players can change the identity of 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. The basic stats and requirements remain the same. item upgrading is permanent and will affect all characters that have the gear in question.
The player can also upgrade their item level for any equipped equipment. This is done by talking to an upgrader NPC and 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 upgrade will add five percent to the damage.
The upgrade of an item can make it more powerful however it can reduce its effectiveness. It is therefore essential to find a balance between the two. Certain items aren't worth upgrading, while other items need to be upgraded to reach their full potential. A player may want to upgrade the breakpoint armor by adding an interesting modifier (% block chance or FHR) in order to explore what else it can be.
Rerolling is a standard practice in Genshin Impact and other gacha-based games. It is a method used by players to try to obtain an item or character that they wouldn't otherwise have. These items are time-consuming and costly to obtain, and the RNG doesn't always play nice. The only options is to shell out real money or grind lots. Rerolling is extremely popular in Genshin Impact.
Leveling
When upgrading an item, you can pick to upgrade the weapon or armor. However, this feature does absolutely nothing in the current game. I believe it was intended to be a way to add value to rare items, but because equipment generally drops quickly and can only be upgraded one level up, you'll usually replace the item before it gets too old. It's also not worth upgrading items with gem sockets, as the power of the gemstone will outweigh any increment in ilvl.
If you click the upgrade button on an item, you will get a small screen with the upgrade template of the item as well as the cost of Valorstone and crest to increase the level of the item. The costs will vary between weapons and armor, with the former usually costing more than the latter. The upgrade template lists the statistics that will be added to the upgraded item. It will also list its current base ilvl.
The crest and Valorstone costs are calculated by analyzing the current ilvl of the item and the upgrade template. Additionally, the ilvl of the new upgraded item will be decreased by the template's lvl decrease percentage. For instance an upgrade of 8% will decrease the weapon's ilvl by 8 to 8percent.
In addition to the increase in ilvl base the item will also get upgrades in other stats such as critical strike damage, PvE damage, block, parry and dodge rating. The increases 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. In addition to practice equipment, all weapons and armor gain the same stats once upgraded. The value of these additional stats will be determined by the market, with a perfectly perfectly rolled weapon or piece of armor can command significantly more trade value than non-upp'd versions. The same applies to other pieces of armor, such as circlets and Tiaras.
