Path of Exile Item Upgrading
The best way to upgrade your gear in Path of Exile is through upgrading your items. This allows you to upgrade your gear without having depend on costly trades or drops. This article will help you understand how to upgrade your items.
Upgrades to equipment grant an additional bonus to the item's stats. This bonus is based on the upgrade component level and rarity.
Components
Upgrade components make your armour and weapons better. They can be found through destroying enemies, buying them from karma vendors, or finding them in the form of item-spheres. You can also salvage them from equipment that contains the components or through high-end salvage kits like Black Lion Salvage Kit and Ascended Salvage Tool. Upgrade components aren't destroyed when you remove them from the item.
The primary function of upgrade components is to enable an item to be upgraded but they also serve other purposes. They can be stacked to increase the level of experience gained from upgrading existing weapons or gear. They can also be forged to offer additional benefits. For instance, a specially created glyph can increase the chances of upgrading its target, whereas a boost upgrade will enhance 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 show a list of upgrade components that the item can be upgraded to. Alternatively, you can utilize the workbench to select an upgrade template. In either case, an item will be upgraded when enough upgrade components have been gathered.
Each component has a unique experience multiplier. This determines the amount of experience an item gains when upgraded using the component. Organic components, for instance have a higher multiplier of experience than mechanical components. 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.
In addition to the multiplier for experience Each item also comes with a maximum number of upgrades it can receive. The number of upgradeable items is determined by their upgradeable rank and the type of upgrade they can get. For example, the highest possible upgrade for a weapon is a weapon with tier 10. However, the most popular weapon upgrades are the 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 minimum once. The upgrade will increase the amount of bonuses you can expect to receive. When you first upgrade an item, its primary stat will be +1. On subsequent upgrades, primary stats are boosted even further (for instance +1 for 12+/13+/14+) and each time an item is upgraded one of its additional stats increases randomly.
The upgrade of a weapon can increase its damage base, which can be crucial for certain builds. However, weapons cannot be upgraded to have a greater defense level than their base. It is possible to increase the value of certain sets and unique items by upgrading them, however they're not always superior to a higher-level Runeword.
If you're upgrading an item that has a bonus the item can be rerolled once and the guarantee will reset to zero. The same amount of power dies are used to reroll an item, just as it would be used to increase its level. However, the new item has different bonuses. Upgrades can be made through the NPC [Armorthe ] Boboko in the 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 right amount of Minerals and Erons. These are available at the crafting table or in the Ultra Collector, and can be purchased with Gold. NPCs will also provide special rewards for each completed level of the upgrade process. This reward can be rerolled once and will be made using the same materials as the first item.
Rerolling
If players have enough tokens for rerolling, 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 at a level 1 of the same item in a different set. Reroll tokens are sold in the shop for a small sum of in-game currency. They are non-refundable. The upgraded item will still have the extra benefits of the previous one however its stats will differ too.
Players can alter the identification of their equipment, in addition to changing it's roll by interfacing with a NPC upgrader. This will change the identity from a weapon to armor or vice versa, while keeping its basic stats and required attributes. The change will last for a long time and affect all characters who own the gear.
The player can also upgrade their level of an item for any equipment that is equipped. This is done by interacting with an upgrader NPC and obtaining upgrade components. This will cost a certain number of crests and Valorstones according to the upgrade track and type. Each step will add 5percent more damage to weapons.
The upgrade of an item can make it more powerful however, it can also lower its quality. It is therefore essential to find a balance between the two. Some items aren't worth upgrading, while other items need to be upgraded to make them more effective. For example one player might want to upgrade a piece of breakpoint armor that comes with an interesting modifier (% chance to block or FHR) to explore the possibilities of what it can be.
Rerolling is a common practice in Genshin Impact and other gacha-based games. item upgrades is a method used by players in order to get a character or weapon they cannot otherwise get. These items are time-consuming and costly to acquire and the RNG doesn't always play nice. The only choices left are to invest real money or grind a lot. Rerolling is very popular in Genshin Impact.
Leveling
You can select whether to upgrade the weapon or armor when upgrading an item. This feature is not available in the current version of the game. I believe it was designed to be a way to increase the value of rare items, but because gear in general drops fairly quickly and can only be upgraded once you've reached a certain level it is likely that you will replace the item before it gets old enough. It's not worth upgrading items with gem sockets since the power of the gem will outweigh any increment in ilvl.
If you click on the upgrade option on an item, you'll see a small window with the upgrade template of the item as well as the cost of crest and Valorstone to increase the item level. Weapons and armor will have different prices, with the latter generally being more expensive. The upgrade template shows the statistics that will be added to the upgraded item and will also list its current ilvl.
The cost of the Valorstone and crest is calculated using the current Ilvl of the item and the upgrade templates. Additionally, the ilvl of the new upgraded item will be decreased by the upgrade template's lvl decrease percentage. For example, a weapon with an increase of 8% will reduce its value by 8-8 percent.
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 increases are built on the upgrade template.
In the upgrade template, you can see the amount of damage or defense an item will suffer after being leveled up. This is listed below the cost and upgrade percentages. In addition to practice equipment, all weapons and armor gain these same stats when leveled up. The value of these stats will be determined by the market, with a perfectly rolled perfect version of a weapon or piece of armor can command significantly more in trade value than unupp'd versions. The same applies to other armor pieces, like tiaras and circlets.
