Path of Exile Item Upgrading
The best way 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 teach you how to upgrade your items.
Upgrades to equipment provide an additional bonus to the item's stats. This bonus scales with the upgrade component level and rarity.
Components
Upgrade components can make your weapons and armour better. They can be found by destroying enemies, purchasing them from karma sellers or finding them in item-spheres. 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 removed from an item.
The primary 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 quality of an upgradeable item, or they can be used to increase the experience gained when upgrading an existing weapon or piece of gear. They can also be forged to give additional bonuses. For instance, a specially designed glyph will increase the chances of upgrading its target, whereas an upgrade boost will increase the attack or defense property of a weapon, or armor.
Selecting an upgrade template in the GUI will allow you to connect it to an item. This will display the upgrade components that the item can be upgraded. You can also utilize the workbench to select an upgrade template. In either scenario, an item will be upgraded after enough upgrade components have been collected.
Each component has a different experience multiplier, which affects the amount of experience an item receives when it is upgraded with that component. For instance, organic components have a a higher experience multiplier than mechanical ones. You should upgrade your 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 it is possible to receive. The number of upgrades available is determined by the rank that can be upgraded and the upgrade type of the upgradeable item. For instance, the highest possible upgrade for a weapon is a weapon of tier 10. The most popular weapon upgrade is a gun with tier 6 and an armor upgrade of tier 5.
Sets
A set is a collection of items that have a bonus. Each item in the set can be upgraded at least once and the upgrade will increase the amount of bonuses that are guaranteed. The first time you upgrade an item or set piece will give it an increase of +1 to its primary stat. On subsequent upgrades, primary stats are increased even more (for instance +1 for 12+/13+/14+) and each time an item is upgraded, one of its stats will increase randomly.
Upgrades can also boost the base damage of a weapon. This could be crucial for certain builds. However, weapons can't be upgraded to have a higher defense level than their normal base. It is possible to increase the value of specific sets and unique items by upgrading them, however they may not always be better than a Runeword with a high level.
If the item you're upgrading has a guaranteed bonus, it can be rerolled only once and its guarantee will reset to 0. Rerolling will cost the same amount of power dice as leveling an item, but the new item will have various bonuses. Upgrades can be made at the NPC [ArmorBoboko. Boboko in Central Flarine. To upgrade an item, you will require a power die of each type (Dice 4 or 6 drop from monsters 21+ and Giants; dice 7 drops from bosses) and the right amount of Minerals and Erons. These are available at the crafting table or the Ultra Collector, and can be purchased with Gold. The NPC will also offer a special reward for each tier of the upgrade process. This reward can be rerolled one time with the same materials and components as the first item.
Rerolling
If the player has enough rerolling tokens, they can play rerolling any item they've acquired during the game. When an upgraded item gets rerolled, it will be exchanged for an equivalent level 1 version of the same item in another set. Reroll tokens can be bought at the store for a small amount of in-game currency, however they are not refundable. The upgraded item will have the same benefits of the previous one however its stats will differ as well.
Players can change the identity of their equipment, in addition to rolling it again by interacting with an upgrader NPC. This will change its identification from a weapons to armor or reverse the process. Its base requirements and stats will remain the same. The change is permanent and will affect all characters who are wearing the gear.
The player can also upgrade the level of the item for any equipment equipped. This can be done by talking to an upgrader NPC and obtaining upgrade components. The cost will vary depending on the upgrade track, item type, and the number of crests. In the case of weapons, each upgrade will add 5% to its damage.
Upgrades can boost the capability of an item, but they also decrease the quality of an item. Therefore, it is crucial to keep both in check. Some items may not be worth upgrading, while others will need to be upgraded in order to maximize their potential. A player may want to upgrade the breakpoint armor by adding an interesting modification (% block chance or FHR) in order to see what else it can be.
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. These items can be costly and time-consuming and the RNG gods aren't always willing to play ball. The only alternatives are to spend real money or grind extensively. Rerolling is a very popular option in Genshin Impact.
Leveling
You can choose whether to upgrade the weapon or armor after upgrading an item. This feature is not available in the current version of the game. I believe it was intended to to increase the value of rare items, but since gear in general drops fairly quickly and can only be upgraded one level up and you'll typically replace the item before it gets too old. It's also not worth upgrading items using gem sockets because the power of the stone will outweigh any increment in the ilvl.
When you click the upgrade option on an item, you'll be presented with a small window displaying the item's upgrade template and the crest and Valorstone costs to increase the item level. The costs will vary between weapons and armor and the latter typically costing more than the latter. The upgrade template shows the statistics that will be added to the upgraded item. It it also lists the current ilvl.
The crest and Valorstone costs are calculated by analyzing the current ilvl of the item and the upgrade template. Additionally the ilvl of a new upgraded item will be reduced by the upgrade template's lvl decrease percentage. For example the weapon that has an upgrade decrease of 8% will reduce its count by 8-8 percent.
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 based on the upgrade template.
The amount of damage and defense that the item is able to receive when it is leveled can be shown below the upgrade cost and decrease percentages in the upgrade template window. All armor and weapons apart from practice equipment gain these stats upon leveling up. The value of these additional stats will be dictated by the market, with a perfectly rolled weapon or piece of armor is able to command more in trade value than unupp'd versions. This is also true for other pieces of armor, such as circlets and tiaras.
