Path of Exile Item Upgrading

The ability to upgrade items allows players to upgrade their weapons and gear by adding new affixes, increasing the base stats of the item or giving additional benefits. To upgrade items, players must have the item in their inventory, and also access the kiln.

Typically items that have weak bases (like rings) can be upgraded to a stronger base, while items with strong bases such as eth titans aren't affected much in their stats after being upgraded.

Upgrade components

Upgrade components can be added to armors, weapons, trinkets, and gathering tools. They can be used as an attribute bonus or additional effect, when the equipment is in use. They can be purchased from vendors, gathered in loot, thrown away by enemies or received as rewards from missions or chests. Certain upgrades come with additional cosmetic effects. Most upgrades require that the equipment be at a specific level to upgrade.

To upgrade an armor, weapon or other item in the game, the player must select it and then click on the Upgrade button in the toolbar. This will display a preview on the right side of the screen, showing what the expected upgrade statistics will be as well as the required element or material required to make that happen.

There are three types of universal upgrades (which include gems), prefix upgrades, and suffix upgrade components. Universal upgrades, which comprise gems, are able to be used in any type of equipment and provide smaller bonuses than upgrade components that are restricted to a specific type. Infusions, which can only be placed in ascended gear or legendary equipment are exactly the same as jewels but have higher bonuses and are not able to be placed in any other kind of equipment. Suffix upgrades can be added to gathering tools. They will add the suffix to the end of item names. For instance adding the suffix Glyph could transform the staff wrapping of Minor Vigor a Canthan staff wrapping of Minor Vigor.

If an individual upgrades a gathering tool, and replaces the glyphs by a different one the old one will be returned to their inventory. However, replacing any other upgrade component can destroy it, with the exception of inscriptions which can be freely swapped.

Leveling

Path of Exile's upgrade system is different from previous versions in some fundamental ways. Gear is now categorized in tracks, and each item is able to be upgraded so many times before it is "leveled out." The upgrade cost is increased with each level, but the required materials aren't as high. This allows players to focus their efforts on a couple of key items and maximize their impact, instead of spreading upgrade costs across several items.

This will allow the item to receive new upgrade components and a greater chance of success. This bonus is called the Artisan's Energy. It resets to 0 if an upgrade fails or increases if the upgrade succeeds.

Once a piece is upgraded to the maximum level, it will be able to receive an affix to increase its capabilities. The number of affixes available will depend on the item upgrader kit's base type. For example, a rare or unique weapon with a base that is normal will have no more than two affixes for it, while legendary armors can have up to eight affixes available for it.

Each upgrade step will require a certain number of Flightstones and crests to complete based on the item's current level and the slot it's in. In general, weapons will require more Flightstones to upgrade than other kinds of equipment.

If an item doesn't reach its maximum level, the NPC offers the player the choice to transfer it to a different character and re-infuse the item with a different set or upgrades. This process can take between one and two hours and will cost the same amount of material. However it has a lower success rate.

Engineers employ a level to compare the height of the building against an established point, such as an existing benchmark. This is known as a "level loop." It involves taking readings with the level, backsighting rod and then turning the level to take the foresighting rod reading. This method makes sure that buildings are built to a high level of accuracy and safety.

Rerolling

Rerolling is the process of altering the upgrade components of an item. It is a very important element of the game that can boost the damage, strength or other characteristics. This can be done through the item menu or pressing the Reroll button of an upgraded item. Rerolling items can be costly and should be handled with care.

The game lets players recycle upgraded items, and use them to earn tokens for rerolls. These tokens can be used to upgrade the original item or another item upgrader of the same type. Recyclable items come with a gauge that shows the degree of upgrade. The amount of level that has been filled depends on the rarity and the upgrade cost of the item.

Prior to this, certain upgrade items were given priority affixes which made them easier to roll. This meant that you'd receive the most crucial stats to your build more frequently than others. This included stats such as the armor's total armour, thorns and the control impaired duration stats or the weapons' bonus attack speed and strike chance.

This has changed since the latest patch. Priority affixes have been removed and all upgrades will have the same chance of rolling for all stats. This can be good or bad, depending on what you want and need from your equipment.

Each upgraded item may also come with a unique, fixed-value bonus that increases its power by a certain percentage. These bonuses are rolled into the standard affixes. The more you upgrade your product, the greater the chance of receiving an exclusive bonus.

The game also features a number of sets, which give a set bonus when three or more upgraded items from the same set are installed on the same unit. This is a good way to give the character more power without spending a lot of money.

Many players prefer to reroll their equipment and weapons, particularly in the beginning stages of the game. This is because rerolling could provide a much faster route to becoming a strong character and allows them to climb high tiers and progress the game more quickly.

Sets

Sets are collections that can be arranged differently. They can be of various sizes, contain none at all, or contain a single element. They can be used to organize data or sort information. They are also useful in analyzing patterns. Sets can be classified in many ways, including size and shape.

The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom offers a wide range of set items that can be upgraded. Certain items are worth upgrading, while some aren't. Upgrades are worth it for armor sets that offer high defense values and set bonuses. Upgrades to weapons aren't as effective in improving stats as their purple counterparts. This makes them less attractive to upgrade when your collection of weapons and armor pieces is already large.

Set items can be upgraded to include unique functions that are beneficial for certain builds. Guillaume's Face face and Aldur's Advance boots are examples of this. Both were upgraded to Extraordinary Winged Helms and Exceptional Mirrored Boots, respectively. This increased their defense from 217 to 321. (Strength requirements and Level requirements were also increased).

Another reason to upgrade certain items is to bring them into parity with their counterparts in their tiers. For example the Immortal King set has a large level range, from 29 to 76. The upgrade of lower-level items in the set can increase their defense and increase their competitiveness in terms of damage.

To determine if a product is worth upgrading, players must click the Upgrade button on the screen of their character. The item's attributes will be displayed together with any required items. For example the No-mouth face will require 1.1K Scrap Materials as well as 250 Enchanted Dust and 5 Glowing Shards to Upgrade Item. Players can also visit the Leaderboard or Golden vendor in Cyrodiil to see the upgrade requirements of specific items.

In general, armor and weapons are more valuable when they are updated. Particularly, for weapons that feature spell/weapon damage glyphs and are upgraded to gold is recommended as it will provide a significant increase in their performance. Armor that has an upgraded appearance will benefit from this upgrade because its defense will increase as it goes from purple to gold.
