Path of Exile Item Upgrading
The best method to improve your equipment in Path of Exile is through upgrading your items. This lets you improve it without having to depend on costly trades or drops. This article will show you how to upgrade your gear.
Upgrades to equipment grant an additional bonus to the item's stats. This bonus scales with the upgrade component's level and rarity.
Components
Upgrade components make your weapons and armour better. They can be found by destroying enemies, buying them from karma vendors or finding them in item-spheres. You can also get them from equipment that contains the components, or by utilizing salvage kits of high-end quality, such as Black Lion Salvage Kit and Ascended Salvage Tool. In contrast to other items upgrades aren't destroyed when removed from an item.
Upgrade components are primarily used to improve an item however, they can also be used for other reasons. They can be used to increase the level of experience gained from upgrading existing weapons or gear. They can be forged to give additional bonuses. A crafted glyph can increase the chance of upgrading its target, while boost upgrades increase the attack or defense capabilities of the weapon.
Selecting an upgrade template in the GUI will allow you to connect it to an item. This will display a list of upgrade components that the item can be upgraded to. You can also utilize the workbench to select an upgrade template. In either case, the item will be upgraded once enough upgrade components have been collected.
Each component has a unique experience multiplier. This determines how much experience an item gains when upgraded using that component. For instance, organic components have a more experience multipliers than mechanical ones. It is recommended to upgrade organic components first until you reach the next rank in the weapon or equipment, and then move on to mechanical upgrades.
Each item comes with an upgrade maximum number that can be received. The number of upgradeable items is determined by their upgradeable rank, and the type of upgrade they can get. For example, the highest possible weapon upgrade is a tier 10 weapon. The most commonly used upgrade is a tier 6 gun and a armor upgrade of tier 5.
Sets
A set is a collection of items that all share the same bonus. Each item can be upgraded at the least once. The upgrade will increase the amount of bonuses you can expect to receive. When you first upgrade a set piece or weapon, it will receive a +1 increase to its primary stat. After subsequent 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.
item upgrades can also increase the damage base of a weapon. This could be crucial for certain types of builds. However, weapons can't be upgraded to a higher defense level than their base. It's possible to increase the value of specific sets and unique items by upgrading them, but they're not always superior to a high-level Runeword.
If the item you're upgrading has a guaranteed bonus, it can be rerolled a few times, and then its guarantee will be reset to 0. The same amount of power dies are used to roll an item, just 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 require a power die of each kind (Dice 4 or 6 drop from monsters 21+ and Giants; Dice 7 drops from bosses) and the proper amount of Minerals and Erons. They can be purchased by using Gold at the crafting table, or in the Ultra Collection. The NPC will also offer an additional reward for every tier that is completed of the upgrade process. The reward can be rerolled a single time, using the same materials and components as the first item.
Rerolling
If the player has enough to reroll tokens, they are able to roll any item they've accumulated during the game. When an item is rerolled it will be replaced with an equivalent level 1 version from another set. Reroll tokens are available in the shop for a small sum of in-game currency. They are non-refundable. The new item upgraded will still have the extra bonuses of the original one, but its stats will be different as well.
Players can change the identity of equipment in addition to rolling it again by interacting with an NPC upgrader. This will change the identification from an armored weapon to a weapon, or vice versa, all the while keeping its basic stats and the attributes it requires. The change will last for a long time and affect all characters that own the gear.
Players can also increase the level of an item equipped device by obtaining upgrade items and conversing with the upgrader NPC of the item. It will cost a specific amount of crests as well as Valorstones dependent on the upgrade track and kind. In the case of weapons, each upgrade will add an additional 5percent to the damage.
Upgrading an item will make it more powerful, but it will also lower its quality. It is therefore important to keep both in check. Some items may not be worth upgrading and some will require to be upgraded in order to reach their potential. A player might want to upgrade the breakpoint armor by adding an interesting modifier ( percent block chance, or FHR) to explore what else it can be.
Rerolling is a popular practice in Genshin Impact and other gacha-based games. People use it in order to get a character or weapon they cannot otherwise get. These items can be costly and time-consuming, and the RNG gods don't always want to play. The only alternatives are to invest money or grind a lot. Rerolling is a popular feature in Genshin Impact.
Leveling
You can decide to upgrade the weapon or armor when you upgrade an item. But, this feature does absolutely nothing in the current game. I think this feature was intended to give value to expensive and rare items. However, since most items are replaced quite quickly, and it can only be upgraded one level, you'll typically replace it before it becomes too old. It's not worth it to upgrade items that have gem sockets because the power of the gem will far outweigh the increased ilvl that comes with the upgrade.
You will see a small window when you click the upgrade option for an item. It will display the item's template, the Crest, as well as the cost for Valorstone to raise the item level. Weapons and armor will have different costs, with the latter generally being more expensive. The upgrade template shows the stats that will be added to the upgraded item. It it also lists the current ilvl.
The cost of the Valorstone and crest is calculated using the current Ilvl of the item as well as the upgrade templates. In addition the ilvl of the new upgraded item will be reduced by the template's lvl decrease percentage. For instance, an upgrade of 8% can reduce the ilvl of a weapon by 8 to 8percent.
The item will be upgraded to other stats like critical strike damage, PvE damage, and block, parry, and dodge rating, in addition to the base ilvl. The increases are also built on the upgrade template.
In the upgrade template, you can check the amount of damage or defense an item will suffer after it is leveled up. This is displayed below the cost as well as the upgrade percentages. All weapons and armor, except practice equipment, gain these stats upon leveling up. The market will determine the worth of these stats. A weapon or armor that has perfect rolls can command an incredibly higher price than an unupp'd version. Similar is the case for other armor pieces, like tiaras or circlets.
