Path of Exile
Item UpgradingThe
Best item upgrade method to upgrade your equipment in Path of Exile is through item upgrades. This lets you upgrade your gear without having depend on costly trades or drops. This article will teach you how to upgrade your items.
Upgrades to equipment give a bonus on the
item upgrade's stats. The bonus is based 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, buying them from karma vendors, or finding them in items-spheres. They can also be rescued from equipment that has them, or by utilizing the highest-quality salvage kits such as the Black Lion Salvage Kit or Ascended Salvage Tool. In contrast to other items, upgrade components are not destroyed when removed from an item.
Upgrade components are typically used to upgrade an item, but they can also be used for 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 experience gained by upgrading an existing weapon or piece of equipment. They can also be forged to provide extra bonuses. A crafted glyph can increase the upgrade chances of its target while boost upgrades increase the attack or defense attributes of weapons.
You can connect an upgrade template to an
Item upgrade by selecting it from the edition GUI. This will show the upgrade components to which the
item upgrade can be upgraded. You can also use the workbench for selecting an upgrade template. In either scenario the item will be upgraded after enough upgrade components are gathered.
Each component has its own experience multiplier that affects the amount of experience an item receives when it is upgraded by the component. Organic components, for example have more experience multipliers than mechanical components. It is recommended to upgrade your organic components first until you reach the next rank in the weapon or equipment, and then move on to mechanical upgrades.
Each item comes with 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 are able to receive. The highest level of upgrade is a weapon with the tier 10. However, the most commonly used weapon upgrades are an tier 6 weapon as well as an armor upgrade of tier 5.
Sets
A set is a group of items that share the benefit of. Each item in the set can be upgraded at least once, and each upgrade boosts its guaranteed bonuses. When you first upgrade an item, its initial stat will be +1. On subsequent upgrades, primary stats are boosted even further (for instance +1 for 12+/13+/14+) and every time an item is upgraded, one of its stats will increase randomly.
Upgrading a weapon can also increase the damage base, which could be necessary for certain builds. However, weapons cannot be upgraded to a higher defense base than their regular base. It is a good option to increase the value of a 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 guaranteed bonus, it can be rerolled once and the guarantee will be reset to 0. The same power dies are used to reroll an item, just as it would be used to level it up. However the new item comes with different bonuses. The NPC [Armor] Boboko can upgrade your armor in Central Flarine. To upgrade an item you will need the appropriate amount Minerals and Erons and a power dice of each type. These are available at the crafting table or in the Ultra Collector, and can be purchased using Gold. The NPC will also offer an additional reward for each tier of the upgrade process. This reward can be rerolled once and will use the same materials used in the original item.
Rerolling
If a player has enough tokens for rerolling, they can play rerolling any item they've acquired during the game. When an upgraded item gets to be rerolled, it will be exchanged for the level 1 version of the same item from a different set. Reroll tokens can be bought from the store for small amounts of in-game currency, however they aren't refundable. The new item upgraded will have the same bonuses of the first however its stats will be different also.
In addition to rerolling objects, players can also alter the identification of any item by interacting with an upgrader NPC. This will change the identity from an armored weapon to a weapon, or vice versa, all the while retaining its base stats and required attributes. The change will be permanent and affect all characters that own the equipment.
The player can also upgrade the item level for any equipped equipment. This is done by talking to an upgrader NPC, and then obtaining upgrade components. It will cost a specific amount of crests as well as Valorstones according to the upgrade track and the
item upgrader type. Each step will add 5% more damage to weapons.
The upgrade of an item will make it more powerful, but it will reduce its effectiveness. It is therefore important to strike a balance between the two. Certain items might not be worth upgrading at all, while others will need to be upgraded in order to reach their potential. One player may wish to upgrade their breakpoint armor using an interesting modifier (% block chance or FHR) in order to explore what else it can be.
Rerolling is a standard practice in Genshin Impact and other gacha-based games. It is a method used by players in order to get an item or character they cannot otherwise get. These items can be expensive and time-consuming and the RNG gods do not always want to cooperate. The only alternatives are to invest money or grind for a long time. This is why rerolling is a popular option in Genshin Impact.
Leveling
You can choose whether to upgrade the weapon or armor when upgrading an item. This feature is not available in the current version of the game. I think this feature was intended to increase the value of rare and expensive items. However, since the majority of equipment is replaced quickly, and can only be upgraded to a certain level, you will typically replace it before it becomes too old. It is also not worth upgrading items with gem sockets, as the power of the stone will outweigh any increase in the level of.
You will be presented with a small box when you click the upgrade option on an item. It will show the template for the item, its Crest, as well as the cost of Valorstone to increase the level of the item. The costs will vary between armor and weapons, with the former usually costing more than the latter. The upgrade template outlines the stats that will 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 item's current Ilvl and the upgrade templates. The ilvl will also be reduced by the upgrade template's reduction percentage of lvl. For example an upgrade of 8% will reduce the weapon's ilvl by 8 to 88%.
The item will receive upgrades to other stats, such as critical strike damage, PvE damages and block, parry, and dodge rating, in addition to the base level. The increases are also built on the upgrade template.
The amount of defense and damage the item will receive when it is leveled can be shown below the cost and upgrade decrease percentages in the upgrade template window. All weapons and armor apart from practice equipment get these stats when they level up. The value of these additional stats will be determined by the market, with a perfectly rolled weapon or piece of armor is able to command more trade value than non-upp'd versions. The same applies to other armor pieces such as circlets or Tiaras.
