Path of Exile Item Upgrading
In Path of Exile, item upgrading is among the most effective ways to upgrade your equipment without relying on big-ticket drops or trade. This article will teach you how to upgrade your items effectively.
Upgrades to equipment provide an increase to the item's base stats. The bonus is depending on the rarity and quality of the upgrade component.
Components
Upgrade components can make your armour and weapons better. They can be found by destroying enemies, buying them from karma vendors, or finding them in items-spheres. They can also be salvaged from equipment with them, or by utilizing a high-tier salvage kit such as the Black Lion Salvage Kit or Ascended Salvage Tool. Upgrade components are not destroyed when they are removed from an item.
upgrade item are typically used to improve an item however, they can also be used for other purposes. They can be used to increase the level of an upgradeable item, or they can be used to increase the experience gained by upgrading an existing weapon or piece of equipment. They can be forged for additional benefits. For example, a crafted glyph will boost the chance of upgrading its target, and an upgrade boost will boost the defense or attack quality of a weapon or armor.
Selecting an upgrade template from the GUI will allow you to connect it to an item. This will display the upgrade components that the item can be upgraded. You can also use the workbench for selecting an upgrade template. In either case, an item will be upgraded after enough upgrade components have been collected.
Each component has its own experience multiplier that affects the amount of experience an item will gain when it is upgraded with that component. For instance, organic components give an experience multiplier that is higher than mechanical ones. It is therefore best to upgrade using organic components until you have reached the experience multiplier for the next rank of equipment or weapon, and then switch to mechanical upgrades.
Each item has an upgrade limit number that is available for. The number of items that can be upgraded is determined by their upgradeable rank, and the type of upgrade they can receive. The highest level of upgrade is a weapon of tier 10. However, the most common weapon upgrades are a tier 6 weapon and an armor upgrade of tier 5.
Sets
A set is a collection of items that share a bonus. Each item can be upgraded at least once. The upgrade increases the guaranteed bonuses. When you first upgrade an item, its primary stat will be +1. On subsequent upgrades, the primary stats will be increased a bit further (for example, +1 to 12+/13+/14+), and each time you upgrade the item, one of its extra stats will be increased randomly.
The upgrade of a weapon can increase the damage base, which may be crucial for certain builds. Weapons cannot be upgraded for an increased maximum defence roll than their base. It is a good way to improve the value of some set and unique items, however it is important to keep in mind that they may not be better than a high-level runeword in any build.
If the item you're upgrading has a guaranteed bonus that is guaranteed, it can be rerolled a few times and its guarantee will be reset to 0. The same amount of power die is used to reroll an item as it is used to increase its level. However the new item comes with different bonuses. The NPC [Armor] Boboko can upgrade your armor in Central Flarine. To upgrade an item, you will need 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 with Gold at the crafting table, or in the Ultra Collection. The NPC will also give an additional reward for each tier of the upgrade process. This reward can be rerolled a second time and the reroll will be made using the same materials used in the original item.
Rerolling
If the player has enough rerolling tokens, they can roll any item they've accumulated during the game. When an upgraded item is being rerolled, it can be exchanged for an equivalent level 1 version of the same item from a different set. Reroll tokens can be purchased at the store for a small sum of in-game currency. They are non-refundable. The new item will come with the same bonuses like the first, however the stats will differ.
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 an armor, or reverse it. The basic requirements and stats remain the same. The change will be permanent and will affect all characters who have the equipment.
Players can also boost the level of an item equipped equipment by acquiring upgrade components and interacting with the NPC who upgrades the item. This will cost a set amount of crests and Valorstones according to the upgrade track and type. Each step will give 5% more damage to weapons.
The upgrade of an item will make it more powerful, but it will reduce its effectiveness. Therefore, it is crucial to keep both in check. Some items may not be worth upgrading, while others will need to be upgraded in order to realize their potential. For example, a player might wish to upgrade a piece of breakpoint armor that comes with an interesting modifier ( percent chance of blocking or FHR) to see what it can be.
Rerolling is a standard practice in Genshin Impact and other gacha-based games. People do it to try to obtain an item or character that they wouldn't otherwise have. Getting these items can be expensive and time-consuming and the RNG gods don't always want to cooperate. The only alternative is to spend money or grind for a long time. Rerolling is extremely popular in Genshin Impact.
Leveling
You can select whether to upgrade the weapon or armor when upgrading an item. However, this feature is absolutely nothing in the current game. I believe that this feature was designed to give value to expensive and rare items. However, as most equipment is replaced quickly, and it can only be upgraded to a certain level, you will generally replace it before it becomes too old. It's also not worth it to level items that have gem sockets as the power of the gem will far outweigh the higher ilvl that comes with the upgrade.
If you click on the upgrade option on an item, you will see a small window with the item's upgrade template and the crest and Valorstone costs to boost the level of the item. Armor and weapons have different costs, with the latter typically being more costly. The upgrade template lists the statistics that will be added to the upgraded item and also lists its current ilvl.
The cost of the Valorstone and crest is calculated using the item's current Ilvl and the upgrade templates. The ilvl will also be reduced by the upgrade templates reduction percentage of lvl. For example an upgrade of 8% will 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. These increases are built on the upgrade template.
In the upgrade template, you can check the amount of damage or defense an item will be able to sustain when it is upgraded. This is shown below the cost and the upgrade percentages. Aside from equipment for practice, all items and armor get these same stats when leveled up. The market will determine the worth of these stats. A weapon or armor that has perfect rolls can command a much higher price than an unupp'd version. This is also true for other armor pieces, such as circlets and Tiaras.
