Path of Exile Item Upgrading
The best way to improve your equipment in Path of Exile is through upgrading your items. This lets you improve it without having to depend on costly trades or drops. This article will help you understand how to upgrade your items.
Upgrades to equipment provide an additional bonus to the item's base stats. The bonus increases with upgrade component level and rarity.
Components
Upgrade components are the items that improve your armor and weapons better. You can acquire them by the destruction of enemies, finding them in item spheres or buying them from karma merchants. They can also be salvaged from equipment with them or by using the highest-quality salvage kits such as the Black Lion Salvage Kit or Ascended Salvage Tool. Upgrade components are not destroyed by removing them from an item.
The main function of upgrade components is to allow an item to be upgraded but they also serve other purposes. They can be stacked to increase the quality of an upgradeable item or they can be used to enhance the experience gained when upgrading an existing weapon or piece of gear. They can also be forged to offer additional benefits. A crafted glyph can increase the upgrade chances of its target while a boost upgrade increases the attack or defense attributes of a weapon.
You can connect an upgrade template to an item by selecting it from the edition GUI. This will display the list of upgrade components that the item can be upgraded to. Alternately, you can utilize the workbench to select an upgrade template. In either case, the item will be upgraded when enough upgrade components are gathered.
Each component has its own experience multiplier. This determines how much experience an item can gain when upgraded with that component. For instance, organic components have a more experience multipliers than mechanical ones. It is therefore best to upgrade using organic components until you have reached the experience multiplier of the next rank of equipment or weapon, and then switch to mechanical upgrades.
In addition to the multiplier for experience, each item also has an maximum number of upgrades 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. The most common weapon upgrade is a gun of tier 6 and a armor upgrade of tier 5.
Sets
A set is a collection of items that share the same bonus. Each item in the set can be upgraded at least one time, and each upgrade boosts its guaranteed bonuses. When you first upgrade an item, its initial stat will be +1. In subsequent upgrades the primary stats will be increased a bit further (for instance, +1 to 12+/13+/14+), and each time you upgrade the item, one of its extra stats is boosted randomly.
Upgrades to a weapon may increase the damage base, which may be important for some builds. Weapons aren't upgraded to give an increased maximum defence roll than their base. It is possible to increase value of certain sets and unique items by upgrading them, but they're not always superior to a higher-level Runeword.
If the item you're upgrading has a guarantee bonus it is able to be rerolled once and its guarantee will be reset to 0. Rerolling costs the same amount of power dice as leveling an item, but the upgraded item will come with different extra bonuses. Upgrading can be done by visiting the NPC [Armor] Boboko in Central Flarine. To upgrade an item you will require the proper amount of Minerals and Erons and a power dice of each kind. These can be bought 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. This reward can be rerolled a single time, using the same materials as original item.
Rerolling
A player can reroll any item acquired during the game, provided they have enough tokens to be able to do so. When an item is rerolled it will be replaced by the same level in another set. Reroll tokens are available at the store for a small sum of in-game currency. They cannot be refunded. The new item upgraded will still come with the extra bonuses of the original one however, its stats will differ too.
In addition to rerolling items, players can also change the identification of any item by engaging with an upgrader NPC. This will change the identity from a weapon to armor or vice versa, all the while keeping its basic stats and the attributes it requires. The change is permanent and will affect all characters who have the gear in question.
Players can also increase the level of their item on any equipped equipment by obtaining upgrade items and conversing with the NPC who upgrades the item. The cost will differ based on the upgrade track, the item type and the number of crests. Each step will add an additional 5% of damage to weapons.
The upgrade of an item will make it more powerful, but it will also decrease its quality. It is therefore important to keep both in check. Some items aren't worth upgrading, whereas others need to be upgraded to maximize their potential. For instance, a player might wish to upgrade a piece breakpoint armor with an interesting modifier ( percent chance of blocking or FHR) to discover what it could be.
Rerolling is a popular practice in Genshin Impact and other gacha-based games. People use it to gain access to a character or weapon they would not otherwise be able to acquire. Casesgg can be costly and time-consuming, and the RNG gods don't always want to cooperate. The only options left are to spend real cash or grind for a long time. Rerolling is extremely popular in Genshin Impact.
Leveling
When upgrading an item, you can choose to increase the level of the weapon or armor. This feature is not available in the current version of the game. I think it was meant to be a way to increase the value of rare items, but as the majority of gear drops quickly and can only be upgraded one level up and you'll typically replace the item before it gets too old. It's not worth upgrading items using gem sockets because the power of the stone will outweigh any increase in the level of.
You will see a small box when you click the upgrade option for an item. It will show the template of the item, the crest, and the Valorstone cost to raise the item level. The cost of upgrades will vary based on armor and weapons and the latter typically costing more than the latter. The upgrade template outlines the stats that can be added to an upgraded item, as well as its current base ilvl.
The crest and Valorstone costs are calculated based on the current ilvl of the item and the upgrade template. Additionally, the ilvl of the new upgraded item will be reduced by the template's lvl reduction percentage. For instance the weapon that has an 8% upgrade decrease will decrease its count by 8-8 percent.
In addition to the base ilvl increase, the item will also be upgraded in other stats such as critical strike damage, PvE damage, dodge, block, and parry rating. These enhancements are also based on the upgrade template.
In the upgrade template you can see the amount of damage or defense that the item will be able to sustain when it is upgraded. This is listed below the cost and the upgrade percentages. All weapons and armor apart from practice equipment get these stats once they've been leveled up. The market will determine the value of these stats. A weapon or armor that has perfect rolls can command an incredibly higher price than a non-upp’d version. This is also true for other armor pieces, such as circlets and Tiaras.
