Path of Exile Item Upgrading
The most effective way to improve your equipment in Path of Exile is through upgrading your items. This lets you improve it without having to rely on expensive drops or trades. This article will teach you how to upgrade your items.
Upgrades to equipment provide a bonus on the item's stats. This bonus is based on the upgrade component's level and rarity.
Components
Upgrade components are the parts that make your weapons and armor more effective. They can be found by destroying enemies, buying them from karma vendors or finding them in the form of item-spheres. item upgrade can also get them from equipment that contains the components, or by utilizing high-end salvage kits like Black Lion Salvage Kit and Ascended Salvage Tool. Unlike most other items upgrade components, upgrade components aren't destroyed when they are removed from an item.
The primary function of upgrade components is to allow an item to be upgraded however, they also serve other purposes. They can be used to boost the value of an item that can be upgraded or they can be used to boost the experience gained by upgrading an existing weapon or piece of gear. They can be made for additional bonuses. A glyph that has been crafted can increase the upgrade chances of its target while boost upgrades increase the attack or defense attributes of weapons.
Selecting an upgrade template from the GUI will allow you to connect it to an item. This will show the upgrade components that the item can be upgraded. Alternatively, you can use the workbench to select an upgrade template. In either scenario, an item will be upgraded when enough upgrade components have been gathered.
Each component has a different experience multiplier, which affects the amount of experience an item receives when it upgrades with the component. For instance, organic components have a a higher experience multiplier than mechanical ones. You should upgrade organic components first until you reach the next level in the weapon or equipment, then switch to mechanical upgrades.
In addition to the multiplier for experience, each item also has an maximum number of upgrades that it can receive. The number of upgrades is determined by the rank that can be upgraded and the upgrade type of the upgradeable item. For instance, the most expensive possible upgrade for a weapon is a weapon with tier 10. However, the most popular upgrade for weapons is an tier 6 weapon as well as a tier 5 armor upgrade.
Sets
A set is a set of items that all share the same bonus. Each item can be upgraded at minimum once. The upgrade will increase the guaranteed bonuses. When you first upgrade an item, its initial stat will be +1. After subsequent upgrades the stats of the primary one will be increased a bit further (for instance, +1 to 12+/13+/14+) Each time you upgrade the item with an additional stats is boosted randomly.
The upgrade of a weapon can increase the damage base, which could be necessary for certain builds. Weapons cannot be upgraded for greater maximum defence rolls than their base. It is possible to increase the value of certain sets and unique items by upgrading them, but they're not always better than a Runeword with a high level.
If an item you're upgrading has a guarantee bonus, it can be rerolled a few times, and then its guarantee will reset to 0. Rerolling is the same amount of power dice as the process of leveling an item, but the upgraded item will come with additional bonuses. The NPC [Armor] Boboko can upgrade your armor in Central Flarine. To upgrade an item, you'll need a power die of each type (Dice 4 or 6 drop from monsters 21+ and Giants; dice 7 drops from bosses) and the appropriate amount of Minerals and Erons. They can be purchased by using Gold at the crafting table, or in the Ultra Collection. The NPC will also offer an additional reward for each completed tier of the upgrade process. This reward can be rerolled a single time, using the same materials and components as the first item.
Rerolling
If the player has enough to reroll tokens, they are able to roll any item they have acquired during the game. 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 amount of in-game currency. They are not refundable. The new item will come with the same extra bonuses as the original, but the stats will also differ.
Players can change the identification of equipment in addition to rolling it again by interacting with a NPC upgrader. This will change the identification from an armored weapon to a weapon, or vice versa, all the while maintaining its base stats and attributes that are required. The change will be permanent and will affect all characters who have the equipment.
The player can also upgrade the level of the item for any equipment equipped. This is done by engaging with an upgrader NPC and obtaining upgrade items. The cost will vary depending on the upgrade track, the item type, and the number of crests. Each step will give an additional 5% of damage to weapons.
Upgrades can boost the effectiveness of an item, however they can also reduce the quality of an item. Therefore, it is crucial to strike a balance between the two. Certain items might not be worth upgrading at all and some will require to be upgraded in order to reach their potential. For example an individual player may want to upgrade a piece of breakpoint armor that has an interesting modifier (% chance to block or FHR) to discover what it could become.
The primary reason why people are able to reroll in Genshin Impact, or in any gacha-based game, is because they are trying to get a specific character or weapon that they wouldn't otherwise be able to acquire. These items can be time-consuming and expensive to obtain and the RNG doesn't always play nice. The only other options are to spend money or grind extensively. 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 this feature was intended to give value to expensive and rare items. However, since the majority of 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 not worth it to level items that have gem sockets since the value of the gem will be greater than the increase in ilvl with the upgrade.
You will see a small box when you click on the upgrade option on an item. It will display the template for the item, its Crest, as well as the cost of Valorstone to increase the level of the item. Armor and weapons have different costs, with the latter usually being more expensive. The upgrade template lists the stats that will be added to an upgraded item as well as its current ilvl.
The cost of the Valorstone and crest is calculated using the item's current Ilvl and the upgrade templates. In addition the ilvl of a new upgraded item will be decreased by the template's lvl reduction percentage. For instance the weapon that has an upgrade decrease of 8% will reduce its count by 8-8%.
The item will receive upgrades to other stats like critical strike damage, PvE damage, and block, parry, and dodge rating, in addition to the base level. The increases are also dependent on the upgrade template.
In the upgrade template, you can determine the amount of damage or defense that the item will suffer after it is leveled up. This is shown below the cost as well as the upgrade percentages. All armor and weapons that are not practice equipment get these stats once they've been leveled up. The value of these additional stats will be determined by the market, with a perfectly rolled perfect version of a piece of armor or weapon is able to command higher trade values than non-upp'd versions. Similar is the case for other pieces of armor, such as tiaras and circlets.
