The Ultimate Guide To Item Upgrading

Path of Exile Item Upgrading

In Path of Exile, item upgrading is among the best ways to improve your gear without relying upon big-ticket drops or trade. This article will help you understand how to upgrade your items.

Upgrades to equipment give an additional bonus to the item's stats. The bonus is according to the rarity and level of the upgrade component.

Components

Upgrade components are the things that make your weapons and armor more effective. You can acquire them by destroying enemies, finding them in item spheres or purchasing them from karma sellers. You can also salvage them from equipment that contains the components or by using salvage kits of high-end quality, such as Black Lion Salvage Kit and Ascended Salvage Tool. Upgrade components are not destroyed when you remove them from an item level upgrade.

Upgrade components are typically used to upgrade an item, but they can also be used for other purposes. They can be stacked in order to increase the level or experience gained by upgrading existing weapons or gear. They can be forged for additional benefits. A glyph that is crafted can boost the chance of upgrading its target, while boost upgrades increase the defense or attack capabilities of a weapon.

You can connect an upgrade template to an item by selecting it from the edition GUI. This will display the upgrade components to which the item can be updated. You can also use the workbench to selecting an upgrade template. In either case the item upgrades will be upgraded when enough upgrade components have been collected.

Each component has its own experience multiplier, which determines how much more experience an item will gain when it is upgraded with the component. Organic components, like, have a higher multiplier of experience than mechanical components. It is therefore best to upgrade with organic components until you reach the multiplier of experience for the next rank of equipment or weapon, and then switch to mechanical upgrades.

Each item has an upgrade maximum number that it is possible to receive. The number of items that can be upgraded is determined by their upgradeable rank and the kind of upgrade they can receive. The most powerful upgrade is a weapon that is 10th level. The most commonly used upgrade is a tier 6 gun and a armor upgrade of tier 5.

Sets

A set is a collection of items that all share the same bonus. Each item in the set can be upgraded at least once and the upgrade will increase the guaranteed bonuses. The first time you upgrade the set piece or weapon, it will receive an increase of +1 to its primary stat. After subsequent upgrades, primary stats are boosted even further (for instance, +1 for 12+/13+/14+) and each time an item is upgraded, one of its additional stats increases randomly.

Upgrading a weapon can also increase its damage base, which can be necessary for certain builds. However, weapons are not upgraded to have a greater maximum defense roll than their normal base. Upgrades can be a great option to increase the value of certain sets and unique items, however it's important to remember that they may not be superior to a high-level runeword in any build.

If you are upgrading an item upgrade that has bonuses the item can be rerolled a single time, and its guarantee will reset to zero. Rerolling will cost the same amount of power dice as leveling an item up, but the upgraded item will come with various bonuses. Upgrades can be completed through the NPC [ArmorBoboko. Boboko in Central Flarine. To upgrade an item you will need the appropriate amount Minerals and Erons and a power dice of each kind. These are available at the crafting table or in the Ultra Collector and can be purchased with Gold. The NPC will also offer a special reward for every tier that is completed of the upgrade process. This reward is rerollable once, and the reroll will be made using the same materials used in the original item.

Rerolling

A player can roll any item they have acquired during the game, provided they have enough tokens to do so. If an item is rerolled, it will be replaced by an equivalent level 1 version from another set. Reroll tokens are available at the store for a small amount of in-game currency, however they cannot be refunded. The upgraded item will have the same bonuses of the original one however its stats will be different too.

In addition to rerolling items, players can also change the identity of any equipment by interacting with an upgrader NPC. The equipment's identification will change as a weapon to armor or reverse the process. The basic requirements and stats will remain the same. The change is permanent and will affect all characters that are wearing the gear.

Players can also increase the item level of any equipped equipment by acquiring upgrade items and conversing with the item's upgrader NPC. The cost of upgrading will depend on the upgrade track, the item type and the number of crests. In the case of weapons, each step will add 5% to its damage.

Upgrades can increase the effectiveness of an item, however they also can decrease its quality. Therefore, it is important to keep both in check. Certain items aren't worth upgrading, whereas others need to be upgraded to maximize their potential. One player may wish to upgrade their breakpoint armor using an interesting modifier ( percent block chance, or FHR) to discover what it could become.

The primary reason people reroll in Genshin Impact, or in any gacha-based game is because they're trying to get a specific character or weapon that they aren't able to obtain. Getting these items can be expensive and time-consuming, and the RNG gods don't always want to cooperate. The only other options are to spend real money or grind for a long time. Rerolling is extremely popular in Genshin Impact.

Leveling

When upgrading an item, you can level up the weapon or armor. But, this feature does absolutely nothing in the current game. I believe it was designed to to increase the value of rare items, but since equipment generally drops quickly and can only be upgraded one level up, you'll usually replace the item before it gets old enough. It's not worth upgrading items using gem sockets because the power of the gem will outweigh any increment in ilvl.

When you click the upgrade option on an item, you will see a small window with the item's upgrade template and the crest and Valorstone costs to boost the level of the item. Weapons and armor will have different prices, with the latter generally being more expensive. The upgrade template shows the stats that will be added to the upgraded item. It will also list its current base ilvl.

The cost of the Valorstone and Crest is calculated using the item upgrader mod (Recommended Browsing)'s current Ilvl and the upgrade templates. The ilvl will also be reduced by the upgrade template's reduction percentage for lvl. For example, a weapon with an upgrade decrease of 8% will decrease its value by 8-8 percent.

The item will be upgraded to other stats like critical strike damage, PvE damage, and block, parry, and dodge rating in addition to the base ilvl. Those increases are also based on the upgrade template.

In the upgrade template, you can check the amount of damage or defense an item will receive after being leveled up. This is displayed below the cost and the upgrade percentages. All armor and weapons that are not practice equipment get these stats when they level up. The market determines the value of these stats. A weapon or armor with perfect rolls can fetch more than a non-upp’d version. The same applies to other armor pieces, such as circlets and Tiaras.
