Path of Exile Item Upgrading
In Path of Exile, item upgrading is among the best ways to improve your gear without relying on massive drops or trade. This article will teach you how to upp your items effectively.
Upgrades to equipment give an additional bonus to the item's stats. This bonus scales according to the rarity and strength of the upgrade component.
Components
Upgrade components are the items that make your weapons and armor more effective. item upgrader can locate them by destroying enemies, buying them from karma sellers 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 are not destroyed when they are removed from an item.
The main purpose of upgrade components is to allow an item to be upgraded, however, they also serve other functions. They can be stacked to increase the quality of an upgradeable item, or they can be used to increase the amount of experience gained from upgrading an existing weapon or piece of equipment. They can also be made to give additional bonuses. A glyph that has been crafted can increase the upgrade chances of its target, while a boost upgrade increases the attack or defense capabilities of a weapon.
Selecting an upgrade template from the GUI will allow you to connect it to an item. This will display a list of upgrade components that the item can be upgraded to. Alternately, you can utilize the workbench to select an upgrade template. In either scenario, the item will be upgraded once enough upgrade components are gathered.
Each component has its own experience multiplier, which affects how much more experience an item gets when it is upgraded with the component. Organic components, for instance have a higher multiplier of experience than mechanical components. It is therefore recommended to upgrade using organic components until you reach the multiplier of experience for the next rank of equipment or weapon, and then change to mechanical upgrades.
Each item has an upgrade maximum number that can be received. The number of upgrades are determined by its upgradeable rank and the type of upgrade for the upgradeable item. The highest upgrade possible is a weapon of 10th level. However, the most commonly used weapon upgrades are a tier 6 weapon and an armor upgrade of tier 5.
Sets
A set is a collection of objects which all have the same bonus. Each item can be upgraded at the minimum once. The upgrade increases the bonuses that are guaranteed. When you first upgrade an item, its initial stat will be +1. On subsequent upgrades the stats of the primary one will be increased a bit more (for example, +1 up to 12+/13+/14+) Each time you upgrade the item, one of its extra stats is increased randomly.
Upgrades can also boost the damage base of a weapon. This could be crucial for certain builds. However, weapons can't be upgraded to a higher defense base than their normal base. It is possible to increase the value of specific sets and unique items by upgrading them, but they might not always be better than a Runeword with a high level.
If you are upgrading an item that comes with a bonus it can be rerolled once and the guarantee will reset to 0. The same amount of power die is used to reroll an item, just as it is used to upgrade it. However the new item comes with different bonuses. Upgrades can be completed at the NPC [Armorthe ] Boboko in the Central Flarine. To upgrade an item, you will require a power dice of each type (Dice 4 or 6 drop from monsters 21+ and Giants; dice 7 drops from bosses) and the proper amount of Minerals and Erons. They can be purchased by using Gold at the crafting table, or in the Ultra Collection. NPCs also offer special rewards for each completed stage of the upgrade process. This reward can be rerolled once and will use the same materials as the original item.
Rerolling
If the player has enough tokens for rerolling, they can play rerolling any item they've acquired during the game. If an item is rerolled, it will be replaced with the same level in another set. Reroll tokens can be purchased in the shop for a small sum of in-game currency. They cannot be refunded. The new item will have the same bonus features as the previous one, but the statistics will also be different.
Players can change the identity of their equipment, in addition to changing it's roll by interfacing with a NPC upgrader. This will change the identity from an armor to a weapon or vice versa, all the 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 the level of the item for any equipment equipped. This is accomplished by engaging with an upgrader NPC and getting upgrade components. This will cost a certain number of crests and Valorstones depending on the upgrade track and item type. For weapons, each step up will add an additional five percent to the damage.
Upgrades can boost the effectiveness of an item, but they can also reduce the quality of an item. Therefore, it is important to strike a balance between the two. Certain items might not be worth upgrading and some will require to be upgraded to reach their potential. One player may wish to upgrade breakpoint armor with an interesting modifier (% block chance or FHR) to see what else it can be.
The main reason people play rerolls in Genshin Impact, or in any gacha-based game is because they're trying to get a specific weapon or character that they wouldn't otherwise be able to acquire. These items are time-consuming and costly to acquire and the RNG does not always work in a positive way. The only choices left are to spend real cash or grind a lot. Rerolling is a very popular choice in Genshin Impact.
Leveling
When upgrading an item, you can pick to 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 as equipment generally drops quickly and is only upgraded one level up, you'll usually replace the item before it gets old enough. It's not worth it to level items that have gem sockets as the power of the gem will outweigh the higher ilvl that comes with the upgrade.
If you click on the upgrade option on an item, you will see a small window with the item's upgrade template and the cost of Valorstone and crest to increase the item level. The cost of upgrades will vary based on armor and weapons and the latter typically costing more than the latter. The upgrade template outlines the stats that can be added to an upgraded item along with its current ilvl.
The cost of the Valorstone and crest is calculated using the item's current Ilvl and the upgrade templates. The ilvl is also decreased by the upgrade templates reduction percentage for lvl. For instance the weapon that has an upgrade decrease of 8% will decrease its ilvl by 8 - 8%.
In addition to the base ilvl boost the item will also get upgrades in other stats, such as critical strike damage, PvE damage and dodge, block, and parry rating. Those increases are also built on the upgrade template.
The amount of defense and damage the item is able to receive as it gets leveled up can be seen below the upgrade cost and decrease percentages in the upgrade template window. Apart from the practice equipment, all other weapons and armor gain the same stats when they are upgraded. The market determines the value of these stats. A weapon or armor with perfect rolls can fetch more than an unupp'd version. Similar is the case for other pieces of armor, such as tiaras and circlets.
