Path of Exile Item Upgrading
The best way to improve your gear in Path of Exile is through item upgrades. This lets you improve it without having to depend on costly drops or trades. This article will help you understand how to upgrade your gear.
Upgrading equipment grants a bonus to the item's base stats. The bonus increases with upgrade component level and rarity.
Components
Upgrade components can make your armour and weapons stronger. You can locate them by destroying enemies, buying them from karma vendors, or finding them in the form of item-spheres. They can also be rescued from equipment that contains them, or by utilizing a high-tier salvage kit like the Black Lion Salvage Kit or Ascended Salvage Tool. In contrast to other items upgrade components, upgrade components aren't destroyed when removed from an item.
Upgrade components are typically used to upgrade an item however, they can also be used for other purposes. They can be stacked to boost the value of an upgradeable item or they can be used to increase the experience gained by upgrading an existing weapon or piece of gear. They can be made for additional benefits. For instance, a created glyph can increase the upgrade chance of its target, while a boost upgrade will increase the attack or defense attribute of a weapon or armor.
You can connect an upgrade template to an item by selecting it from the edition GUI. It will display the list of upgrade components that the item can be upgraded to. You can also use the workbench to selecting an upgrade template. In either instance, the item will be upgraded once enough upgrade components are collected.
Each component has a different experience multiplier, which determines how much more experience an item will gain when it is upgraded with the component. Organic components, like have more experience multipliers than mechanical components. Therefore, it is recommended to upgrade with organic components until you have reached the experience multiplier of the next rank of equipment or weapon, and then switch to mechanical upgrades.
Each item has a maximum upgrade number that is available for. The number of upgrades is determined by the rank that can be upgraded and the type of upgrade for the upgradeable item. For example, the highest possible weapon upgrade is a tier 10 weapon. 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 have a bonus. Each item in the set can be upgraded at least once, and the upgrade will increase the guaranteed bonuses. The first time you upgrade an item, its initial stat will be +1. On subsequent upgrades the primary stats will be increased a bit more (for example, +1 up to 12+/13+/14+), and each time you upgrade the item it will have one of its additional stats is increased randomly.
Upgrades can also boost the damage base of a weapon. This could be crucial for certain types of weapons. However, weapons cannot be upgraded to a higher maximum defense roll than their regular base. Upgrades can be a great option to increase the value of certain sets 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 guaranteed bonus that is guaranteed, it can be rerolled only once, and then its guarantee will reset to 0. The same power dies are used to reroll an item as it would be used to increase its level. However the new item comes with different bonuses. Upgrades can be made through the NPC [Armor] Boboko in Central Flarine. To upgrade an item, you will need a power die of each type (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 can be purchased using Gold. NPCs also offer special rewards for each completed level of the upgrade process. This reward can be rerolled a second time and will use the same materials as the original item.
Rerolling
If the player has enough rerolling tokens, they can reroll any item that they've accumulated during the game. When an upgraded item is rerolled, it will be exchanged for the version that is level 1 of the same item in a different set. Reroll tokens can be purchased in the store for a small amount of in-game currency. They are non-refundable. The new item upgraded will still have the extra benefits of the previous one, but its stats will differ also.
In addition to rerolling items players can also change the identification of any equipment by interfacing with an upgrader NPC. This will change the identification from a weapon to armor or vice versa, while retaining its base stats and the attributes it requires. The change is permanent and will affect all characters that own the gear in question.
Players can also boost the level of their item on any equipped device by obtaining upgrade components and communicating with the NPC who upgrades the item. The cost will vary depending on the upgrade track, item type and number of crests. In the case of weapons, each upgrade will add an additional 5% to its damage.
An upgrade can make it more powerful however, it can reduce its effectiveness. Therefore, it is important to strike a balance between the two. Certain items might not be worth upgrading at all, while others will need to be upgraded to maximize their potential. One player may wish to upgrade the breakpoint armor by adding an interesting modification ( percent block chance, or FHR) in order to explore what else it can become.
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 they would not otherwise be able to acquire. Getting these items can be expensive and time-consuming, and the RNG gods aren't always willing to cooperate. The only options is to shell out real money or grind a lot. For this reason, rerolling is a very popular choice in Genshin Impact.
Leveling
You can choose whether to upgrade the weapon or armor after upgrading an item. This feature isn't available in the current version of the game. I think this feature was created to add some value to expensive and rare items. However, since the majority of equipment is replaced quickly, and it can only be upgraded one level, you'll typically replace it before it gets too old. It's also not worth it to upgrade items with gem sockets since the value of the gem will be greater than the increased ilvl that comes with the upgrade.
You will see a small box when you click on the upgrade option for an item. It will show the template for the item, its crest, and the Valorstone cost to raise the item level. Armor and weapons have different costs, with the former typically being more costly. The upgrade template lists the stats that will be added to the upgraded item. It it also lists the current ilvl.
The crest and Valorstone costs are calculated according to the item's current ilvl and the upgrade template. Additionally, the ilvl of the new upgraded item will be decreased by the template's lvl reduction percentage. For item upgrading , an upgrade of 8% will reduce the ilvl of a weapon by 8 to 8%.
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. These upgrades are also based on the upgrade template.
In the upgrade template, you can check the amount of damage or defense that the item will receive after it is leveled up. This is listed below the cost as well as the upgrade percentages. Apart from the practice equipment, all other weapons and armor gain the same stats when they are leveled up. The value of these stats will be determined by the market, with a rolled perfect version of a weapon or piece of armor able to command much more in trade value than unupp'd versions. The same applies to other pieces of armor like tiaras and circlets.
