Path of Exile Item Upgrading
The most effective way to upgrade your equipment in Path of Exile is through upgrading your items. This lets you improve it without having to depend on costly drops or trades. This article will teach you how to upp your items effectively.
Upgrades to equipment provide an additional bonus to the item's stats. The bonus is depending on the rarity and strength of the upgrade component.
Components
Upgrade components are the parts that improve your armor and weapons better. They can be obtained by the destruction of enemies, finding them in item spheres or buying them from karma merchants. You can also salvage them from equipment containing the components, or by utilizing high-tier salvage kits such as Black Lion Salvage Kit and Ascended Salvage Tool. Upgrade components aren't destroyed by removing them from the 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 in order to boost the level or the amount of experience gained by upgrading weapons or gear. They can also be made to offer additional benefits. For instance, a specially crafted glyph will boost the chance of upgrading its target, and the boost upgrade can increase the attack or defense property of a weapon, or armor.
You can attach 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 scenario the item will be upgraded when enough upgrade components have been collected.
Each component has a distinct experience multiplier that affects the amount of experience an item receives when it upgrades with the component. For instance, organic components offer more experience multipliers than mechanical ones. Therefore, it is recommended to upgrade with organic components until you have reached the experience multiplier for the next rank of the weapon or gear, and then move to mechanical upgrades.
Each item has an upgrade limit number that is available for. The number of upgrades are determined by its upgradeable rank and the type of upgrade for the upgradeable item. The highest level of upgrade is a weapon of tier 10. However, the most commonly used weapon upgrades are a tier 6 weapon and a tier 5 armor upgrade.
Sets
A set is a set of items that share the same bonus. Each item in the set can be upgraded at least once, and the upgrade will increase its guaranteed bonuses. When you first upgrade an item or set piece, it will receive a +1 increase to its primary stat. Following upgrades, the primary stats will be boosted even further (for instance, +1 for 12+/13+/14+) and each time an item is upgraded one of its additional stats is increased randomly.
Upgrades can also boost the damage base of a weapon. This can be crucial for certain builds. However, weapons are not 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, however they may not always be better than a Runeword with a high level.
If an item you're upgrading has a guaranteed bonus that is guaranteed, it can be rerolled once and its guarantee will be reset to 0. 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. The NPC [Armor] Boboko can upgrade your armor in Central Flarine. To upgrade an item you will require the proper amount of Minerals and Erons as well as a power dice of each type. They can be purchased with Gold at the crafting table, or in the Ultra Collection. The NPC will also offer an extra reward for each tier of the upgrade process. This reward can be rerolled a second time and will use the same materials used in the original item.
Rerolling
A player can play rerolling any item that they acquire in the game provided they have enough reroll tokens to be able to do so. If an item is rerolled, it will be replaced by a level 1 version in another set. Reroll tokens are available at the store for a small amount of in-game currency. They cannot be refunded. The new item will come with the same extra bonuses as the original, but the stats will differ.
Players can alter the identification of their equipment as well as changing it's roll by interfacing with an NPC upgrader. This will change the identification from a weapons to armor or reverse the process. The base stats and requirements remain the same. item upgrade is permanent and will affect all characters that have the gear in question.
The player can also upgrade their item level for any equipment that is equipped. This is done by engaging with an upgrader NPC and getting upgrade components. This will cost a set amount of crests as well as Valorstones dependent on the upgrade track and item kind. In the case of weapons, each upgrade will add an additional 5% to its damage.
Upgrades can boost the effectiveness of an item, but they can also reduce the quality of an item. It is therefore important to find a balance between the two. Some items are not worth upgrading, while other items require upgrades to maximize their potential. A player may want to upgrade the breakpoint armor by adding an interesting modification ( percent block chance, or FHR) to discover what it could be.
Rerolling is a popular practice in Genshin Impact and other gacha-based games. People use it to try to obtain an item or character they would not otherwise be able to acquire. The process of obtaining these items can be costly and time-consuming, and the RNG gods do not always want to cooperate. The only options left are to spend real cash or grind lots. This is why rerolling is a very popular choice in Genshin Impact.
Leveling
You can decide to upgrade the weapon or armor when upgrading an item. However, this feature does absolutely nothing in the current game. I believe that this feature was designed to increase the value of expensive and rare items. However, as most items are replaced quite quickly and can only be upgraded one level, you will usually replace it before it becomes too old. It's also not worth it to upgrade items that have gem sockets because the power of the gem will be greater than the increased ilvl that comes with the upgrade.
You will be presented with a small box when you click on the upgrade option on an item. It will show the item's template, the Crest, as well as the cost for Valorstone to raise the item level. Weapons and armor will have different prices, with the latter generally being more expensive. The upgrade template lists the statistics that will be added to the upgraded item and also lists its current base ilvl.
The crest and Valorstone costs are calculated based on the item's current ilvl and the upgrade template. item upgrade is also decreased by the upgrade templates reduction percentage of lvl. For example, an upgrade of 8% will reduce the ilvl of a weapon by 8 to 88%.
In addition to the base ilvl boost it will also get upgrades in other stats like critical strike damage, PvE damage, dodge, block, and parry rating. These upgrades are also based on the upgrade template.
The amount of damage and defense that the item will receive as it gets leveled up can be seen below the upgrade cost and decrease percentages in the upgrade template window. In addition to practice equipment, all items and armor get these same stats when leveled up. The market will determine the value of these stats. A weapon or armor that has perfect rolls can fetch a much higher price than a non-upp’d version. The same applies to other pieces of armor, such as tiaras and circlets.
