Path of Exile Item Upgrading
The best method to upgrade your gear in Path of Exile is through item upgrades. This allows you to upgrade your gear without having rely on expensive drops or trades. This article will teach you how to upp your gear effectively.
Upgrades to equipment give a bonus on the item's stats. This bonus scales with the upgrade component level and rarity.
Components
Upgrade components can make your armour and weapons better. You can find them by destroying enemies, purchasing them from karma vendors or finding them in the form of item-spheres. You can also get them from equipment containing the components or through high-end salvage kits like Black Lion Salvage Kit and Ascended Salvage Tool. Upgrade components aren't destroyed when they are removed from the item.
The primary function of upgrade components is to allow an item to be upgraded but they also serve other purposes. They can be used to increase the level of the amount of experience gained by upgrading equipment or weapons. They can be forged for extra bonuses. A glyph that is crafted can boost the chances of upgrading its target while an upgrade boosts the defense or attack capabilities of weapons.
Selecting an upgrade template from the GUI will allow you to connect it to an item. This will show the upgrade components to which the item can be updated. Alternatively, you can utilize the workbench to select an
upgrade item template. In either scenario, the item will be upgraded after enough upgrade components are gathered.
Each component has a unique experience multiplier. This determines the amount of experience an item can gain when upgraded with that component. For instance, organic components give more experience multipliers than mechanical ones. You should upgrade 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 upgrades are determined by the upgradeable rank and the type of upgrade for the upgradeable item. The most powerful upgrade is a weapon with the tier 10. However, the most popular weapon upgrades are an tier 6 weapon as well as a tier 5 armor upgrade.
Sets
A set is a collection of items that share the same bonus. Each item in the set can be upgraded at least once, and each upgrade boosts the amount of bonuses that are guaranteed. The first time you upgrade an item, its primary stat will be +1. In subsequent upgrades, the primary stats will be increased a bit further (for example, +1 to 12+/13+/14+) Every time you upgrade the
item upgrader kit it will have one of its additional stats is increased randomly.
Upgrades can also boost a weapon's damage base. This may be important for certain types of weapons. However, weapons can't be upgraded to a higher defense level than their normal base. It is a good way to improve the value of some set and unique items, however it's important to note that they're not necessarily superior to a high-level runeword in any build.
If the
item upgrader kit you're upgrading has a guaranteed bonus, it can be rerolled once, and then its guarantee will reset to 0. The same power die is used to reroll an item as it is used to upgrade it. However, the new item has 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, as well as a power dice of each type. These are available at the crafting table or the Ultra Collector, and are available for purchase with Gold. The NPC will also provide a special reward for every tier that is completed of the upgrade process. This reward can be rerolled once, and the reroll will be made using the same materials used in the original item.
Rerolling
If players have enough rerolling tokens, they can reroll any item that they've acquired during the game. When an upgraded item is to be rerolled, it will be exchanged for a version at a level 1 of the same item from a different set. Reroll tokens are sold in the store for a small amount of in-game currency. They are not refundable. The upgraded item will have the same benefits of the previous one however its stats will differ too.
Players can change the identity of equipment in addition to rolling it again by interacting with an upgrader NPC. This will change its identification from a weapons to armor or reverse it. The basic requirements and stats remain the same. The change is permanent and will affect all characters who have the gear in question.
Players can also increase the level of an item equipped device by obtaining upgrade items and conversing with the item's upgrader NPC. The cost will vary depending on the upgrade track, item type, and the number of crests. Each step will add 5percent more damage to weapons.
Upgrades can increase the effectiveness of an item, however they can also reduce its quality. Therefore, it is important to keep both in check. Some items are not worth upgrading, whereas others require upgrades to reach their full potential. For example one player might want to upgrade a piece breakpoint armor with an interesting modifier ( percent chance of blocking or FHR) to discover what it could be.
The primary reason why people reroll in Genshin Impact, or in any gacha-based game, is because they are trying to obtain a particular character or weapon that they can't otherwise obtain. These items can be costly and time-consuming to acquire, and the RNG doesn't always play nice. The only options left are to invest real money or grind lots. Rerolling is very popular in Genshin Impact.
Leveling
When upgrading an item, you can pick to upgrade the weapon or armor. However, this feature is absolutely nothing in the current game. I think it was meant to be a way to give some value to rare items, but as the majority of gear drops quickly and is only upgraded after a certain amount of levels and you'll typically replace the item before it gets too old. It's also not worth it to upgrade items with gem sockets since the value of the gem will far outweigh the increase in ilvl with the upgrade.
If you click on the upgrade option on an item, you will be presented with a small window displaying the item's upgrade template and the cost of Valorstone and crest to increase the
item level upgrade level. The costs will vary between weapons and armor, with the former usually costing more than the latter. The upgrade template shows the statistics that will be added to the upgraded item. It will also list its current base ilvl.
The cost of the Valorstone and Crest is calculated using the current Ilvl of the item and the upgrade templates. Additionally the ilvl of the new upgraded item will be decreased by the template's lvl reduction percentage. For example an upgrade of 8% will reduce the weapon's ilvl by 8 to 8percent.
The item will receive upgrades to other stats, such as critical strike damage, PvE damage, and block, parry and dodge rating, in addition to the base level. These increases are also based off the upgrade template.
In the upgrade template you can see the amount of damage or defense the item will receive after being leveled up. This is shown below the cost as well as the upgrade percentages. Aside from practice equipment, all weapons and armor gain the same stats once leveled up. The market will determine the value of these stats. A weapon or armor with perfect rolls can fetch an incredibly higher price than an unupp'd version. This is also true for other pieces of armor such as tiaras and circlets.
