Path of Exile Item Upgrading
In Path of Exile, item upgrading is among the best ways to upgrade your gear without relying upon large-ticket drops or trade. This article will teach you how to upgrade your gear.
item upgrader to equipment grant a bonus on the item's stats. This bonus is based on the upgrade component level and rarity.
Components
Upgrade components make your armour and weapons stronger. You can acquire them by fighting off enemies, locating them in item spheres or buying them from karma dealers. You can also salvage them from equipment that contains the components, or by utilizing high-end salvage kits like Black Lion Salvage Kit and Ascended Salvage Tool. Upgrade components cannot be destroyed when they are removed from an item.
The main function of upgrade components is to allow an item to be upgraded but they also serve other functions. They can be used to increase the level or the amount of experience gained by upgrading weapons or gear. They can also be made to provide extra bonuses. A glyph that has been crafted can increase the chance of upgrading its target, while an upgrade boosts the attack or defense capabilities of weapons.
You can connect an upgrade template to an item by selecting it from the edition GUI. This will display the upgrade components that the item can be updated. You can also use the workbench to selecting an upgrade template. In either case, the item will be upgraded when enough upgrade components have been gathered.
Each component is assigned an experience multiplier. This determines the amount of experience an item gains when upgraded with that component. Organic components, for example have a higher multiplier of experience than mechanical components. It is therefore best to upgrade with organic components until you have reached the multiplier of experience for the next level of the weapon or gear, and then change to mechanical upgrades.
In addition to the multiplier for experience Each item also comes with an maximum number of upgrades it can receive. The number of upgrades is determined by its upgradeable rank and the type of upgrade available to the upgradeable item. The highest upgrade possible is a weapon with tier 10. However, the most common weapon upgrades are an tier 6 weapon as well as an armor upgrade of tier 5.
Sets
A set is a collection of items that have a bonus. Each item can be upgraded at the least once. The upgrade increases 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 stats will increase randomly.
Upgrades can also increase the damage base of a weapon. This may be important for certain types of weapons. Weapons cannot be upgraded for an increased maximum defence roll than their base. It is possible to increase the value of certain set and unique items by upgrading them, but they're not always better than a Runeword with a high level.
If you're upgrading an item that comes with an added bonus, the item can be rerolled once and the guarantee will reset to zero. Rerolling will cost the same amount of power dice as the process of leveling an item up, but the new item will have various bonuses. Upgrading can be done at the NPC [Armor] Boboko in the Central Flarine. To upgrade an item, you'll require a power dice 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 can be purchased with Gold at the crafting table or in the Ultra Collection. The NPC will also provide an extra reward for each completed tier of the upgrade process. This reward is rerollable once, and the reroll will be made using the same materials used in the original item.
Rerolling
If players have enough rerolling tokens, they can play rerolling any item they've acquired during the game. When an item is rerolled it will be replaced with an equivalent level 1 version from another set. Reroll tokens are available in the shop for a small sum of in-game currency. They are non-refundable. The new item upgraded will still have the extra benefits of the previous one however, its stats will be different as well.
In addition to rerolling objects, players can also alter the identification of any item by engaging with an upgrader NPC. This will change the identification as a weapon to armor or reverse it. The basic stats and requirements remain the same. The change will be permanent and affect all characters that own the equipment.
The player can also upgrade their level of the item for any equipped equipment. This is done by talking to an upgrader NPC and getting upgrade items. This will cost a certain number of crests and Valorstones depending on the upgrade track and item type. For weapons, each step up will add an additional five percent to the damage.
Upgrading an item will make it more powerful however it can also lower its quality. Therefore, it is crucial to balance the two. Some items are not worth upgrading, whereas others require upgrades to maximize their potential. For example one player might decide 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 standard practice in Genshin Impact and other gacha-based games. People use it in order to get the character or weapon they would not otherwise be able to acquire. These items can be time-consuming and expensive to obtain and the RNG isn't always a good fit. The only alternative is to invest money or grind extensively. This is why rerolling is a very popular option in Genshin Impact.
Leveling
You can decide to upgrade the weapon or armor after upgrading an item. However, this feature does absolutely nothing in the current game. I believe this feature was intended to give value to rare and expensive items. However, as most items are replaced quite quickly and can only be leveled up one level, you will generally replace it before it becomes too old. It's also not worthwhile to upgrade items with gem sockets as the power of the gem will be greater than the higher ilvl that comes with the upgrade.
You will be presented with a small box when you click the upgrade option for an item. It will show the template of the item, the crest, and the cost for Valorstone to raise the item's level. The costs will vary between weapons and armor as well, with the former typically costing more than the latter. The upgrade template outlines the stats that will be added to an upgraded item, and also the current base ilvl.
The crest and Valorstone costs are calculated according to the current ilvl of the item and the upgrade template. The ilvl will also be reduced by the upgrade template's reduction percentage for lvl. For example, an upgrade of 8% will decrease the ilvl of a weapon by 8 to 88%.
The item will get upgrades to other stats, like critical strike damage, PvE damage and block, parry, and dodge rating in addition to the base ilvl. These enhancements are also based on the upgrade template.
The amount of defense and damage the item receives when leveled up can be shown below the cost and upgrade decrease percentages in the upgrade template window. Apart from the practice equipment, all armor and weapons gain the same stats when they are leveled up. The value of these stats will be determined by the market, with a perfectly rolled version of a piece of armor or weapon can command significantly more in trade value than unupp'd versions. This is also true for other pieces of armor, like tiaras or circlets.
