Path of Exile Item Upgrading
In Path of Exile, item upgrading is one of the best ways to improve your equipment without relying on large-ticket drops or trade. This article will show you how to upgrade your gear.
Upgrades in equipment can add an increase to the item's base stats. The bonus increases with upgrade component level and rarity.
Components
Upgrade components are the items that make your weapons and armor more effective. They can be found by destroying enemies, purchasing them from karma vendors, or finding them in items-spheres. They can also be rescued from equipment that has them or by using an advanced salvage kit such as the Black Lion Salvage Kit or Ascended Salvage Tool. Unlike most other items, upgrade components are not destroyed when they are removed from an item.
Upgrade components are primarily used to upgrade an item, but they can also be used for other purposes. They can be stacked in order to increase the level of experience gained by upgrading existing weapons or gear. They can be forged to give additional benefits. A crafted glyph can increase the chances of upgrading its target, and boost upgrades increase the defense or attack capabilities of weapons.
You can bind 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. You can also use the workbench when selecting an upgrade template. In either scenario, an item will be upgraded when enough upgrade components have been collected.
Each component has a different experience multiplier, which determines how much more experience an item receives when it is upgraded with the component. Organic components, like have a higher multiplier of experience than mechanical components. You should upgrade organic components first until you reach the next rank in the weapon or equipment and then move on to mechanical upgrades.
In addition to the multiplier of experience every item also has an maximum number of upgrades that it can receive. The number of items that can be upgraded is determined by their upgradeable rank and the kind of upgrade they can get. The highest upgrade possible is a weapon with the tier 10. However, the most popular upgrades for weapons are an tier 6 weapon as well as an armor upgrade of tier 5.
Sets
A set is a set of items which all have the same bonus. Each item can be upgraded at the least once. The upgrade will increase the guaranteed bonuses. The first time you upgrade an item, its primary stat will be +1. On subsequent upgrades the stats of the primary one will be increased a bit further (for example, +1 to 12+/13+/14+) Every time you upgrade the item, one of its extra stats will be increased randomly.
Upgrades can also increase the damage base of a weapon. This could be crucial for certain types of builds. However, weapons can't be upgraded to a higher maximum defense roll than their regular 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 item upgrader comes with a guaranteed bonus that is guaranteed, it can be rerolled only once and its guarantee will reset to 0. Rerolling costs the same amount of power dice as bringing an item, but the new item will have additional bonuses. The NPC [Armor] Boboko can upgrade your armor in Central Flarine. To upgrade an item, you will need a power die of each kind (Dice 4 or 6 drop from monsters 21+ and Giants; dice 7 drops from bosses) and the proper amount of Minerals and Erons. These are available at the crafting table or in the Ultra Collector, and can be purchased with Gold. item upgrades will also give an extra reward for every tier that is completed of the upgrade process. This reward can be rerolled a single time using the same materials as the original item.
Rerolling
A player can play rerolling any item that they acquire during the game, provided they have enough reroll tokens to do so. When an upgraded item is being rerolled, it can be exchanged for a version that is level 1 of the same item from a different set. Reroll tokens can be bought at the store for small amounts of in-game currency. However, they cannot be refunded. The new item will have the same bonus features as the previous one, but the stats will also differ.
In addition to rerolling objects, players can also alter the identity of any equipment by interacting with an upgrader NPC. This will change the identification from an armor to a weapon or vice versa, all the while keeping its basic stats and the attributes it requires. The change will be permanent and will affect all characters who own the gear.
Players can also boost the item level of any equipped equipment by obtaining upgrade components and interacting with the item's upgrader NPC. The cost will differ based on the upgrade track, the item type, and the number of crests. For weapons, each upgrade will add an additional 5percent to the damage.
Upgrades can increase the power of an item, but they also can decrease its quality. Therefore, it is crucial to balance the two. Certain items might not be worth upgrading and some will require to be upgraded in order to maximize their potential. A player may want to upgrade the breakpoint armor by adding an interesting modification ( percent block chance or FHR) in order to discover what it could become.
The main reason people play rerolls in Genshin Impact, or in any gacha-based game is because they are trying to acquire a certain character or weapon that they can't otherwise obtain. Getting these items can be costly and time-consuming, and the RNG gods do not always want to play ball. The only alternatives are to invest money or grind extensively. Rerolling is very popular in Genshin Impact.
Leveling
You can choose whether to upgrade the weapon or armor when upgrading an item. However, this feature is absolutely nothing in the current game. I think this feature was created to add some value to expensive and rare items. However, since most items are replaced quite quickly and can only be upgraded by to a certain level, you will usually replace it before it becomes too old. It's also not worth it to upgrade item s that have gem sockets because the power of the gem will outweigh the increase in ilvl with the upgrade.
You will see a small box when you click the upgrade option for an item. It will display the template of the item, the Crest, as well as 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 shows the stats that will be added to the upgraded item and it also lists the current base ilvl.
The cost of the Valorstone and the crest is calculated based on the current Ilvl of the item as well as the upgrade templates. The ilvl is also reduced by the upgrade templates reduction percentage for lvl. For example an upgrade of 8% can reduce the weapon's ilvl by 8 to 88%.
In addition to the increase in ilvl base it will also be upgraded in other stats like critical strike damage, PvE damage and dodge, block and parry rating. These enhancements are also based on the upgrade template.
In the upgrade template, you can determine the amount of damage or defense the item will suffer after it is leveled up. This is shown below the cost and upgrade percentages. All weapons and armor, except practice equipment, gain these stats upon leveling up. The market will determine the value of these stats. A weapon or armor that has perfect rolls can command more than a non-upp’d version. This is also true for other armor pieces, like tiaras and circlets.
