Path of Exile Item Upgrading
In Path of Exile, item upgrading is one of the most effective ways to upgrade your gear without relying upon massive drops or trade. This article will show you how to upgrade your items.
Upgrades to equipment provide a bonus on the item's stats. The amount of bonus varies depending on the rarity and quality of the upgrade component.
Components
Upgrade components can make your armour and weapons stronger. They can be found by destroying enemies, purchasing them from karma sellers or finding them in the form of item-spheres. They can also be salvaged from equipment that contains them, or through the highest-quality salvage kits such as the Black Lion Salvage Kit or Ascended Salvage Tool. Unlike most other items upgrade components, upgrade components aren't destroyed when removed from an item.
The main function of upgrade components is to allow an item to be upgraded however, they also serve other purposes. They can be used to increase the level of an upgradeable item, or they can be used to increase the experience gained when upgrading an existing weapon or piece of equipment. They can also be forged to offer additional benefits. A glyph that is crafted can boost the upgrade chances of its target while an upgrade boosts the attack or defense attributes of a weapon.
More inspiring ideas can bind an upgrade template to an item by selecting it from the edition GUI. This will show a list of upgrade components that the item can be upgraded to. You can also use the workbench to selecting an upgrade template. In either case, an item will be upgraded once enough upgrade components have been gathered.
Each component is assigned an experience multiplier. This determines the amount of experience an item gains when upgraded using that component. For instance, organic components give a higher experience multiplier than mechanical ones. It is therefore recommended to upgrade with organic components until you have reached the experience multiplier for the next rank of weapon or gear, then change to mechanical upgrades.
In addition to the experience multiplier Each item also comes with the maximum number of upgrades it can receive. The number of upgrades are determined by the upgradeable rank and the type of upgrade for the upgradeable item. The highest upgrade possible is a weapon with the 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 group of items that share the benefit of. Each item can be upgraded at the least once. The upgrade boosts the guaranteed bonuses. The first time you upgrade the set piece or weapon, it will receive a +1 increase to its primary stat. In subsequent upgrades, the primary stats will be boosted a little further (for instance, +1 to 12+/13+/14+), and each time you upgrade the item it will have one of its additional stats is boosted randomly.
Upgrades can also boost the damage base of a weapon. This may be important for certain types of builds. Weapons aren't upgraded to give an increased maximum defence roll than their base. Upgrades can be a great option to increase the value of some set and unique items, but it's important to note that they may not be superior to a high-level runeword in any build.
If the item you're upgrading has a guarantee bonus that is guaranteed, it can be rerolled only once and its guarantee will be reset to 0. The same amount of power die is used to reroll an item, just as it would be used to upgrade it. However the new item comes with different bonuses. The NPC [Armor] Boboko can upgrade your armor in Central Flarine. To upgrade an item, you'll require a power dice 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 can be bought by using Gold at the crafting table or in the Ultra Collection. The NPC will also give an additional reward for each completed tier of the upgrade process. item upgrader can be rerolled once, and the reroll will be made using the same materials as the original item.
Rerolling
A player can reroll any item acquired during the game, provided they have enough reroll tokens to be able to do so. If an item is rerolled, it will be replaced with an equivalent level 1 version from another set. Reroll tokens are available from the store for small amounts of in-game currency. However, they cannot be refunded. The new item will offer the same extra bonuses as the original, but the stats will differ.
Players can change the identity of their equipment as well as rolling it again by interacting with a NPC upgrader. This will change the identity from an armor to a weapon or vice versa, while retaining its base stats and attributes that are required. The change will last for a long time and affect all characters that own the equipment.
Players can also increase the level of an item equipped equipment by acquiring upgrade items and conversing with the item's upgrader NPC. This will cost a set amount of crests and Valorstones dependent on the upgrade track and type. Each step will add 5percent more damage to weapons.
Upgrades can boost the effectiveness of an item, but they also decrease its quality. Therefore, it is crucial to strike a balance between the two. Certain items might not be worth upgrading at all however, others will need to be upgraded to maximize their potential. For instance, a player might decide to upgrade a piece breakpoint armor that has an interesting modifier (% chance to block or FHR) to see what it can be.
The primary reason why people play rerolls in Genshin Impact, or in any gacha-based game, is because they are trying to obtain a particular character or weapon that they can't otherwise obtain. These items can be time-consuming and expensive to obtain and the RNG does not always work in a positive way. The only alternatives are to spend money or grind extensively. Rerolling is a popular feature in Genshin Impact.
Leveling
You can choose whether to upgrade the weapon or armor after upgrading an item. However, this feature is absolutely nothing in the current game. I believe it was intended to be a way to give some value to rare items, but because the majority of gear drops quickly and is only upgraded after a certain amount of levels it is likely that you will replace the item before it gets old enough. It is also not worth upgrading items with gem sockets because the power of the gemstone will outweigh any increment in the ilvl.
You will be presented with a small box when you click on the upgrade option for an item. It will show the item's template, the Crest, as well as the cost for Valorstone to raise the item level. Armor and weapons will have different costs, with the latter generally being more expensive. The upgrade template lists the stats that will be added to an upgraded item, as well as its current ilvl.
The crest and Valorstone costs are calculated according to the item's current ilvl and the upgrade template. In addition, the ilvl of the new upgraded item will be decreased by the upgrade template's lvl decrease percentage. For instance an upgrade of 8% will reduce the weapon's ilvl by 8 to 8%.
The item will get upgrades to other stats like critical strike damage, PvE damages and block, parry and dodge rating, in addition to the base ilvl. These increases are also based off the upgrade template.
The amount of defense and damage the item is able to receive when it is leveled can be seen below the cost and upgrade decrease percentages in the upgrade template window. Apart from the practice equipment, all other weapons and armor gain these same stats when leveled up. The market will determine the worth of these stats. A weapon or armor with perfect rolls can command more than an unupp'd version. The same applies to other armor pieces such as circlets or tiaras.
