Path of Exile Item Upgrading
In Path of Exile, item upgrading is one of the best ways to upgrade your equipment without relying on large-ticket drops or trade. This article will help you understand how to upgrade your items.
Upgrades to equipment give an increase in the item's stats. The bonus increases with upgrade component level and rarity.
Components
Upgrade components make your armour and weapons better. They can be obtained by the destruction of enemies, finding them in item spheres or buying them from karma dealers. You can also salvage them from equipment containing the components or by using salvage kits of high-end quality, such as Black Lion Salvage Kit and Ascended Salvage Tool. Upgrade components are not destroyed by removing them from an item.
Upgrade components are typically used to upgrade an item however, they can also be used for other purposes. They can be used to increase the quality of an upgradeable item or they can be used to enhance the experience gained by upgrading an existing weapon or piece of equipment. They can also be forged to give additional bonuses. A glyph that is crafted can boost the upgrade chances of its target, while an upgrade boosts the defense or attack capabilities of the weapon.
You can bind an upgrade template to an item by selecting it from the edition GUI. This will display the upgrade components that the item can be updated. Alternately, you can utilize the workbench to select an upgrade template. In either instance the item will be upgraded after enough upgrade components are gathered.
Each component has a distinct experience multiplier, which determines the amount of experience an item gets when it upgrades with that component. For instance, organic components give a higher experience multiplier than mechanical ones. You should upgrade the 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 limit number that is available for. The number of upgrades available is determined by the upgradeable rank and the type of upgrade available to the upgradeable item. The highest upgrade possible is a weapon that is the tier 10. The most commonly used upgrade is a gun of tier 6 and a armor upgrade for tier 5.
Sets
A set is a collection of items which share bonuses. Each item in the set can be upgraded at least once, and the upgrade will increase the guaranteed bonuses. When you first upgrade a set piece or weapon will give it an increase of +1 to its primary stat. On subsequent upgrades, the primary stats will be enhanced even more (for instance +1 for 12+/13+/14+) and every time an item is upgraded one of its additional stats increases randomly.
Upgrading a weapon can also increase the damage base, which can be crucial for certain builds. However, weapons cannot be upgraded to have a higher maximum defense roll than their base. Upgrading can be a good method to increase the value of a set and unique items, however it's important to note that they might not be superior to a high-level runeword in any build.
If you are upgrading an item that comes with an added bonus it can be rerolled a single time and the guarantee will reset to zero. The same amount of power dies are used to roll an item, just as it would be used to increase its level. 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 the required amount of 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. The NPCs will also offer special rewards for each stage of the upgrade process. The reward can be rerolled one time with the same materials as original item.
Rerolling
A player is able to roll any item they have acquired in the game provided they have enough reroll tokens. When an upgraded item is being rerolled, it can be exchanged for the version at a level 1 of the same item in a different set. Reroll tokens are available at the store for small amounts of in-game currency. However, they cannot be refunded. The new upgraded item will still have the extra bonuses of the original one however its stats will be different also.
Players can alter the identification of their equipment as well as rolling it again by interacting with a NPC upgrader. This will change its identification from a weapons to armor or vice versa. The base requirements and stats remain the same. The change is permanent and will affect all characters who own the gear in question.
The player can also upgrade the item level for any equipped equipment. This is done by interacting with an upgrader NPC, and then obtaining upgrade items. This will cost a set amount of crests and Valorstones depending on the upgrade track and kind. Each step will give 5percent more damage to weapons.
Upgrading an item will make it more powerful however, it can also decrease its quality. Therefore, it is crucial to balance the two. Certain items aren't worth upgrading, while other items require upgrading to make them more effective. A player may want to upgrade the breakpoint armor by adding an interesting modification ( percent block chance or FHR) to discover what it could be.
Rerolling is a standard practice in Genshin Impact and other gacha-based games. It is a method used by players in order to get the character or weapon they would not otherwise be able to acquire. These items are time-consuming and costly to acquire, and the RNG does not always work in a positive way. The only alternative is to invest money or grind for a long time. Rerolling is very 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 designed to to add value to rare items, but as the majority of gear drops quickly and can only be upgraded after a certain amount of levels it is likely that you will replace the item before it becomes too old. It's also not worthwhile to level items that have gem sockets since the value of the gem will outweigh the increased ilvl that comes with the upgrade.
If you click the upgrade option on an item, you will get a small screen with the item's upgrade template and the cost of Valorstone and crest to boost the level of the item. The cost of upgrades will vary based on armor and weapons as well, with the former typically costing more than the latter. The upgrade template lists the stats that will be added to an upgraded item, as well as its current ilvl.
The cost of the Valorstone and crest is calculated using the current Ilvl of the item and the upgrade templates. The ilvl is also decreased by the upgrade templates lvl reduction percentage. For example the weapon that has an increase of 8% will decrease its count by 8-8 percent.
The item will receive upgrades to other stats, such as critical strike damage, PvE damage, and block, parry and dodge rating, in addition to the base ilvl. The increases are also based on the upgrade template.
item upgrader of defense and damage the item will receive as it gets leveled up can be shown below the upgrade cost and decrease percentages in the upgrade template window. All weapons and armor apart from practice equipment gain these stats upon leveling up. The market determines the value of these stats. A weapon or armor that has perfect rolls can command a much higher price than a non-upp’d version. Similar is the case for other armor pieces, like tiaras or circlets.
