Path of Exile Item Upgrading
The best way to improve your equipment in Path of Exile is through upgrading your items. item upgrader allows you to enhance your gear without having to depend on costly trades or drops. This article will teach you how to upgrade your gear effectively.
Upgrades in equipment can add a bonus to the item's base stats. This bonus scales based on the rarity and quality of the upgrade component.
Components
Upgrade components are the things that make your weapons and armor more effective. You can get them from destroying enemies, finding them in spheres of items or buying them from karma dealers. You can also salvage them from equipment that contains the components or by using high-tier salvage kits such as 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 main purpose of upgrade components is to enable an item to be upgraded, but they also serve other purposes. They can be stacked to boost the value of an item that can be upgraded or they can be used to enhance the experience gained when upgrading an existing weapon or piece of gear. They can be forged for additional bonuses. For instance, a specially crafted glyph will boost the chances of upgrading its target, while a boost upgrade will boost the defense or attack attribute of a weapon or armor.
Selecting an upgrade template from the GUI will let you bind it to an item. This will display the upgrade components that the item can be upgraded. You can also use the workbench to selecting an upgrade template. In either scenario the item will be upgraded after enough upgrade components are collected.
Each component has its own experience multiplier. This determines how much experience an item gains when upgraded using the component. For instance, organic components offer an experience multiplier that is higher 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.
Each item comes with an upgrade maximum number that is available for. The number of upgradeable items is determined by their upgradeable rank and the kind of upgrade they can get. For example, the highest possible weapon upgrade is a tier 10 weapon. However, the most common weapon upgrades are a tier 6 weapon and a tier 5 armor upgrade.
Sets
A set is a set of items that all share the same bonus. Each item in the set can be upgraded at least once, and each upgrade boosts the guaranteed bonuses. The first time you upgrade an item or set piece, it will receive an increase of +1 to its primary stat. On subsequent upgrades, the primary stats will be enhanced even more (for instance the +1 bonus for 12+/13+/14+) and each time an item is upgraded one of its additional stats increases randomly.
The upgrade of a weapon can increase the damage base, which could be important for some builds. However, weapons cannot be upgraded to have a greater maximum defense 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 superior to a high-level Runeword.
If an item you're upgrading has a guarantee bonus it is able to be rerolled only once, and then its guarantee will reset to 0. The same power die is used to roll an item as it would be to increase its level. However, the new item has different bonuses. The NPC [ArmorBoboko Boboko can upgrade your armor in Central Flarine. To upgrade an item you will require the proper amount of Minerals and Erons and a power dice of each type. These are available at the crafting table or the Ultra Collector and can be purchased with Gold. NPCs will also provide special rewards for each stage of the upgrade process. This reward can be rerolled one time, using the same materials and components as the first item.
Rerolling
A player can reroll any item acquired during the game, provided they have enough tokens. If an upgraded item is rerolled, it will be exchanged for the version at a level 1 of the same item in another set. Reroll tokens are available at the store for small amounts of in-game currency, but they cannot be refunded. The upgraded item will have the same benefits of the previous one however, its stats will differ also.
Players can change the identity of their equipment, in addition to rerolling it by interacting with an upgrader NPC. The equipment's identification will change from a weapons to armor or reverse it. The base stats and requirements remain the same. The change is permanent and will affect all characters that own the gear in question.
The player can also upgrade their item level for any equipment equipped. This is done by talking to an upgrader NPC, and then obtaining upgrade items. This will cost a certain number of crests and Valorstones dependent on the upgrade track and item type. For weapons, each step will add an additional 5percent to the damage.
Upgrades can boost the capability of an item, but they can also reduce its quality. Therefore, it is crucial to keep both in check. Certain items aren't worth upgrading, whereas others need to be upgraded to make them more effective. One player may wish to upgrade the breakpoint armor by adding an interesting modification ( percent block chance or FHR) to explore what else it can become.
Rerolling is a popular practice in Genshin Impact and other gacha-based games. People use it to gain access to the character or weapon they would not otherwise be able to acquire. Getting these items can be costly and time-consuming and the RNG gods aren't always willing to cooperate. The only alternative is to spend real money or grind for a long time. Rerolling is a popular feature in Genshin Impact.
Leveling
You can select whether to upgrade the weapon or armor when upgrading an item. This feature isn't available in the current version of the game. I believe it was intended to be a way to increase the value of rare items, but as equipment generally drops quickly and can only be upgraded one level up, you'll usually replace the item before it becomes old enough. It's also not worth it to upgrade items with gem sockets because the power of the gem will be greater than the higher ilvl that comes with the upgrade.
If you click the upgrade option on an item, you will see a small window with the upgrade template for the item and the crest and Valorstone costs to boost the level of the item. Armor and weapons will have different costs, with the latter usually being more expensive. The upgrade template outlines 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 current Ilvl of the item as well as the upgrade templates. The ilvl will also be decreased by the upgrade templates reduction percentage of lvl. For instance weapons with an 8% upgrade decrease will reduce its count by 8-8 percent.
The item will receive upgrades to other stats, such as critical strike damage, PvE damage and block, parry, and dodge rating, in addition to the base level. These increases are based on the upgrade template.
In the upgrade template, you can check the amount of damage or defense that the item will suffer after being leveled up. This is listed below the cost and upgrade percentages. All armor and weapons, except practice equipment, get these stats when they level up. The market will determine the value of these stats. A weapon or armor with perfect rolls can fetch a much higher price than a non-upp’d version. This is also true for other armor pieces, such as circlets and tiaras.
