Path of Exile Item Upgrading
The best way to upgrade your equipment in Path of Exile is through item upgrades. This lets you improve it without having to depend on costly drops or trades. This article will teach you how to upgrade your gear.
Upgrades to equipment provide an increase in the item's stats. item upgrading with the upgrade component's level and rarity.
Components
Upgrade components are the things that make your weapons and armor better. You can acquire them by the destruction of enemies, finding them in spheres of items or buying them from karma dealers. You can also salvage them from equipment that has the components or through high-tier salvage kits such as Black Lion Salvage Kit and Ascended Salvage Tool. Unlike most other items, upgrade components are not destroyed when they are removed from an item.
The main function of upgrade components is to enable an item to be upgraded, however, they also serve other purposes. They can be used to increase the quality of an item that can be upgraded or they can be used to boost the amount of experience gained from 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 chances of upgrading its target, while boost upgrades increase the attack or defense capabilities of a weapon.
You can connect an upgrade template to an item by selecting it from the edition GUI. It 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 after enough upgrade components have been collected.
Each component has its own experience multiplier. This determines the amount of experience an item gains when upgraded with that component. Organic components, for instance have an increased multiplier of experience than mechanical components. You should upgrade the 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 experience multiplier every item also has a 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 receive. For instance, the highest possible upgrade for a weapon is a weapon of tier 10. However, the most popular upgrade for weapons is the tier 6 weapon and a tier 5 armor upgrade.
Sets
A set is a collection of items that have bonuses. Each item in the set can be upgraded at least once and the upgrade increases its guaranteed bonuses. The first time you upgrade the set piece or weapon, it will receive an increase of +1 to its primary stat. On subsequent upgrades the primary stats will be increased a bit more (for instance, +1 to 12+/13+/14+), and each time you upgrade the item, one of its extra stats is increased randomly.
Upgrades can also increase a weapon's damage base. This could be crucial for certain builds. However, weapons are not upgraded to have a greater defense level than their normal base. It's possible to increase the value of certain set and unique items by upgrading them, but they might not always be superior to a high-level Runeword.
If the item you're upgrading has a guaranteed bonus, it can be rerolled once, and then its guarantee will be reset to zero. Rerolling will cost the same amount of power dice as leveling an item up, but the new item will offer different extra bonuses. Upgrades can be completed by visiting the NPC [Armor] Boboko in the Central Flarine. To upgrade an item, you will require a power dice 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 are available for purchase with Gold. The NPC will also offer an extra reward for each completed tier of the upgrade process. This reward can be rerolled once and the reroll will use the same materials used in the original item.
Rerolling
A player is able to play rerolling any item that they acquire during the game, provided they have enough reroll tokens to do so. If an upgraded item is to be rerolled, it will be exchanged for an equivalent level 1 version 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 are not refundable. The new upgraded item will still have the extra benefits of the previous one however its stats will be different as well.
Players can change the identification of their equipment, in addition to rerolling it by interacting with an upgrader NPC. This will change the identity from an armored weapon to a weapon, or vice versa, while maintaining its base stats and attributes that are required. The change is permanent and will affect all characters that have the gear in question.
The player can also upgrade their level of the item for any equipped equipment. This is done by engaging with an upgrader NPC, and then obtaining upgrade components. The cost will vary depending on the upgrade track, the item type, and the number of crests. In the case of weapons, each upgrade will add 5percent to the damage.
Upgrading an item can make it more powerful however, it can also lower its quality. Therefore, it is important to balance the two. Some items aren't worth upgrading, while other items require upgrading to reach their full potential. One player may wish to upgrade the breakpoint armor by adding an interesting modifier (% block chance or FHR) to discover what it could become.
Rerolling is a popular practice in Genshin Impact and other gacha-based games. It is a method used by players to gain access to a character or weapon they would not otherwise be able to acquire. These items can be costly and time-consuming to obtain and the RNG doesn't always play nice. The only other options are to invest money or grind a lot. This is why rerolling is a very popular choice in Genshin Impact.
Leveling
When upgrading an item, you can increase the level of the weapon or armor. This feature is not available in the current version of the game. I believe it was intended to be a way to give some value to rare items, but because equipment generally drops quickly and can only be upgraded once you've reached a certain level it is likely that you will replace the item before it becomes too old. It's not worth upgrading items using gem sockets because the power of the gemstone will outweigh any increment in the level of.
When you click the upgrade button on an item, you'll see a small window with the item's upgrade template and the cost of crest and Valorstone to boost the level of the item. Armor and weapons have different costs, with the former usually being more expensive. The upgrade template lists the stats that will be added to an upgraded item along with its current ilvl.
The cost of the Valorstone and Crest is calculated using the current Ilvl of the item and the upgrade templates. The ilvl is also reduced by the upgrade template's reduction percentage for lvl. For example, a weapon with an 8% upgrade decrease will decrease its count by 8-8%.
In addition to the base ilvl increase, the item will also be upgraded in other stats such as critical strike damage, PvE damage and dodge, block, and parry rating. These increases are also based off the upgrade template.
In the upgrade template you can determine the amount of damage or defense an item will receive when it is upgraded. This is listed below the cost as well as the upgrade percentages. All armor and weapons apart from practice equipment get these stats once they've been leveled up. upgrade item of these additional stats will be dictated by the market, with a rolled perfect version of a piece of armor or weapon able to command much more in trade value than unupp'd versions. This is also true for other pieces of armor such as circlets or Tiaras.
