Path of Exile Item Upgrading
The best method to upgrade your gear in Path of Exile is through item upgrades. This lets you enhance your gear without having to rely on expensive drops or trades. This article will show you how to upgrade your items effectively.
Upgrades to equipment give an additional bonus to the item’s stats. This bonus scales depending on the rarity and level of the upgrade component.
Components
Upgrade components can make your armour and weapons stronger. 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 by using high-end salvage kits like Black Lion Salvage Kit and Ascended Salvage Tool. Upgrade components cannot be destroyed by removing them from an item.
The main purpose of upgrade components is to allow an item to be upgraded, however, they also serve other functions. They can be stacked to boost the level or the amount of experience gained by upgrading equipment or weapons. They can be made for additional bonuses. For instance, a specially designed glyph will increase the upgrade chance of its target, and a boost upgrade will increase the attack or defense attribute of a weapon or armor.
You can attach an upgrade template to an item by selecting it from the edition GUI. This will display the upgrade components to which the item can be upgraded. You can also use the workbench for selecting an upgrade template. In either instance the item will be upgraded after enough upgrade components are gathered.
Each component has a different experience multiplier, which determines how much more experience an item receives when it is upgraded by the component. Organic components, for instance, have a higher multiplier of experience than mechanical components. You should upgrade your 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 of experience, each item also has the maximum number of upgrades that it can receive. The number of upgrades are determined by the upgradeable rank and the type of upgrade for the upgradeable item. For example, the highest possible weapon upgrade is a tier 10 weapon. However, the most commonly used weapon upgrades are the tier 6 weapon and an armor upgrade of tier 5.
Sets
A set is a collection of items which all have the same bonus. Each item can be upgraded at the minimum once. The upgrade increases the bonuses that are guaranteed. When you first upgrade an item, its primary stat will be +1. On subsequent upgrades the stats of the primary one will be boosted a bit more (for instance, +1 to 12+/13+/14+), and each time you upgrade the item it will have one of its additional stats will be increased randomly.
The upgrade of a weapon can increase the damage base, which can be necessary for certain builds. However, weapons can’t be upgraded to a higher maximum defense roll than their normal base. Upgrades can be a great way to improve the value of some set and unique items, however it’s important to remember that they may not be superior to a high-level runeword in any build.
If an item you’re upgrading comes with a guaranteed bonus that is guaranteed, it can be rerolled once, and then its guarantee will be reset to zero. The same power die is used to reroll an item, just as it would be to upgrade it. However, the new item has different bonuses. Upgrades can be completed by visiting the NPC [ArmorBoboko. Boboko 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 level of the upgrade process. This reward can be rerolled one time using the same materials as the original item.
Rerolling
A player is able to play rerolling any item that they acquire in the game if they have enough reroll tokens to do so. If an item is rerolled, it will be replaced by an equivalent level 1 version from another set. Reroll tokens are sold in the shop for a small sum of in-game currency. They cannot be refunded. The new upgraded item upgrader kit will have the same bonuses of the first, but its stats will differ too.
In addition to rerolling items players can also alter 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 base stats and requirements will remain the same. The change will be permanent and will affect all characters who own the equipment.
Players can also increase the item level of any equipped equipment by acquiring upgrade components and interacting with the item’s upgrader NPC. It will cost a specific amount of crests as well as Valorstones depending on the upgrade track and kind. In the case of weapons, each step up will add five percent to the damage.
An upgrade will make it more powerful however, it can reduce its effectiveness. Therefore, it is important to find a balance between the two. Certain items aren’t worth upgrading, while others need to be upgraded to reach their full potential. For example an individual player may 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 popular practice in Genshin Impact and other gacha-based games. People use it to try to obtain an item or character that they wouldn’t otherwise have. These items can be costly and time-consuming to obtain, and the RNG isn’t always a good fit. The only choices left are to spend real cash or grind lots. Rerolling is very popular in Genshin Impact.
Leveling
When upgrading an item you can pick to increase the level of the weapon or armor. This feature is not 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 most items are replaced quite quickly and can only be upgraded to a certain level, you will typically replace it before it is too old. It’s also not worthwhile to upgrade items that have gem sockets because the power of the gem will be greater than the increase in ilvl with the upgrade.
You will see a small window when you click on the upgrade option for an item. It will show the item’s template, the Crest, as well as the cost for Valorstone to raise the item level. The costs will vary between armor and weapons, with the former usually costing more than the latter. The upgrade template outlines the stats that can be added to an upgraded item upgrading along with its current ilvl.
The Crest and Valorstone costs are calculated based on the item’s current ilvl and the upgrade template. The ilvl will also be reduced by the upgrade templates reduction percentage of lvl. For example, a weapon with an 8% upgrade decrease will reduce its value by 8-8 percent.
In addition to the increase in ilvl base, the item will also receive upgrades in other stats like critical strike damage, PvE damage, dodge, block, and parry rating. These increases are dependent on the upgrade template.
The amount of damage and defense that the item will receive as it gets leveled up can be shown below the upgrade cost and decrease percentages in the upgrade template window. Aside from practice equipment, all other weapons and armor gain these same stats when leveled up. The market determines the value of these stats. A weapon or armor with perfect rolls can command more than an unupp’d version. The same is true for other pieces of armor such as circlets or tiaras.
