This Is The Ultimate Guide To Item Upgrading

Path of Exile Item Upgrading

The most effective way to upgrade your equipment in Path of Exile is through upgrade of your items. This lets you improve it without having to rely on expensive drops or trades. This article will teach you how to upp your gear effectively.

Upgrades to equipment grant an additional bonus to the item's stats. This bonus scales depending on the rarity and level of the upgrade component.

Components

Upgrade components make your weapons and armour better. You can find them through destroying enemies, buying them from karma vendors or finding them in items-spheres. You can also get them from equipment that has the components or through high-tier salvage kits such as Black Lion Salvage Kit and Ascended Salvage Tool. Upgrade components cannot be destroyed by removing them from an item.

Upgrade components are typically used to improve an item however, they can also be used for other reasons. They can be stacked to increase the level or experience gained by upgrading existing equipment or weapons. They can also be made to provide extra bonuses. For example, a designed glyph will increase the chance of upgrading its target, and the boost upgrade can boost the defense or attack quality of a weapon or armor.

Selecting an upgrade template in the GUI will let you bind it to an item upgrader kit. This will show the upgrade components to which the item can be updated. You can also use the workbench when selecting an upgrade template. In either scenario the item will be upgraded once enough upgrade components have been collected.

Each component has a unique experience multiplier. This determines the amount of experience an item gains when upgraded using the component. Organic components, for instance have a higher multiplier of experience than mechanical components. You should upgrade your organic components first until you reach the next level in the weapon or equipment and then switch to the mechanical upgrades.

In addition to the experience multiplier every item also has an maximum number of upgrades it can receive. The number of items that are upgradeable is determined by their upgradeable rank and the kind of upgrade they can get. The highest level of upgrade is a weapon with tier 10. The most commonly used upgrade is a gun of tier 6 and a armor upgrade of tier 5.

Sets

A set is a collection of objects that share the same bonus. Each item in the set can be upgraded at least one time, and the upgrade increases its guaranteed bonuses. When you first upgrade the set piece or weapon is that it will be given a +1 increase to its primary stat. After subsequent upgrades the stats of the primary one will be boosted a little further (for example, +1 to 12+/13+/14+), and each time you upgrade the item with an additional stats will be increased randomly.

Upgrading a weapon can also increase the damage base, which could be important for some builds. However, weapons cannot be upgraded to have a greater maximum defense roll than their regular base. Upgrading can be a good way to improve the value of certain sets and unique items, however it's important to remember that they're not necessarily superior to a high-level runeword in any build.

If an item you're upgrading has a guaranteed bonus that is guaranteed, it can be rerolled once and the guarantee will reset to 0. The same amount of power dies are used to reroll an item as it would be used to upgrade it. However, the new item has different bonuses. Upgrades can be completed at the NPC [Armorthe ] Boboko in the Central Flarine. To upgrade an item upgrade, you'll require a power die of each kind (Dice 4 or 6 drop from monsters 21+ and Giants; dice 7 drops from bosses) and the appropriate amount of Minerals and Erons. These are available at the crafting table or the Ultra Collector and can be purchased using Gold. The NPC will also offer a special reward for each completed tier 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 is able to roll any item they have acquired in the game if 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 at the store for a small sum of in-game currency. They cannot be refunded. The new upgraded item will still come with the extra benefits of the previous one, but its stats will be different too.

Players can change the identification of equipment in addition to changing it's roll by interfacing with a NPC upgrader. This will change the identification from an armored weapon to a weapon, or vice versa, all the while maintaining its base stats and required attributes. The change is permanent and will affect all characters who have the gear in question.

The player can also upgrade the item level for any equipment equipped. This is accomplished by interacting with an upgrader NPC and getting upgrade items. This will cost a set amount of crests and Valorstones dependent on the upgrade track and kind. Each upgrade will add 5% more damage to weapons.

Upgrades can boost the capability of an item, but they also decrease the quality of an item. Therefore, it is important to strike a balance between the two. Certain items might not be worth upgrading at all and some will require to be upgraded to realize their potential. For instance one player might wish to upgrade item a piece of breakpoint armor that has an interesting modifier (% chance to block or FHR) to discover what it could be.

The primary reason why people play rerolls in Genshin Impact, or in any gacha-based game is that they're trying to get a specific character or weapon that they aren't able to obtain. These items can be costly and time-consuming to obtain, and the RNG doesn't always play nice. The only alternatives are to spend real money or grind extensively. This is why rerolling is a very popular choice in Genshin Impact.

Leveling

When upgrading an item you can pick to level up the weapon or armor. However, this feature is absolutely nothing in the current game. I believe it was intended to to give some value to rare items, but because gear in general drops fairly quickly and is only upgraded one level up and you'll typically replace the item before it gets too old. It is also not worth upgrading items with gem sockets since the power of the gem will outweigh any increase in ilvl.

When you click on the upgrade option on an item, you will get a small screen with the item's upgrade template and the crest and Valorstone costs to boost the level of the item upgrader mod. The cost of upgrades will vary based on the armor and weapons, with the former usually costing more than the latter. The upgrade template lists the stats to be added to an upgraded item as well as its current ilvl.

The cost of the Valorstone and the crest is calculated based on the current Ilvl of the item and the upgrade templates. The ilvl is also decreased by the upgrade templates reduction percentage for lvl. For example weapons with an upgrade decrease of 8% will decrease its count by 8-8 percent.

In addition to the base ilvl increase, the item will also receive upgrades in other stats, such as critical strike damage, damage from PvE 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 an item will receive after it is leveled up. This is displayed below the cost as well as the upgrade percentages. Apart from the practice equipment, all other armor and weapons gain these same stats when upgraded. The market will determine the value of these stats. A weapon or armor with perfect rolls can command more than a non-upp’d version. This is also true for other pieces of armor, such as circlets and tiaras.
