Path of Exile Item Upgrading

In Path of Exile, item upgrading is among the Best item upgrade ways to upgrade your gear without relying upon big-ticket drops or trade. This article will help you understand how to upgrade your gear.

Upgrades to equipment provide a bonus on the item's stats. The bonus increases with upgrade component's level and rarity.

Components

Upgrade components are the things that can make your weapons and armor better. You can acquire them by the destruction of enemies, finding them in spheres of items or purchasing them from karma sellers. You can also get them from equipment that has the components or by using salvage kits of high-end quality, such as Black Lion Salvage Kit and Ascended Salvage Tool. Upgrade components cannot be destroyed by removing them from an item.

Upgrade components are typically used to upgrade an item, but they can also be used for other reasons. They can be stacked to increase the level or experience gained from upgrading existing equipment or weapons. They can also be forged to provide extra bonuses. A glyph that has been crafted can increase the upgrade chances of its target while boost upgrades increase the defense or attack capabilities of the weapon.

Selecting an upgrade template in the GUI will allow you to bind it to an item. It will display an upgrade component list that the item can be upgraded to. You can also use the workbench when selecting an upgrade template. In either case the item will be upgraded after enough upgrade components have been collected.

Each component has a unique experience multiplier. This determines how much experience an item will gain when upgraded using that component. For instance, organic components give more experience multipliers than mechanical ones. Therefore, it is recommended to upgrade with organic components until you have reached the multiplier of experience for the next level of the equipment or weapon, and then change to mechanical upgrades.

In addition to the multiplier for experience Each item also comes with a maximum number of upgrades it can receive. The number of upgrades are determined by the upgradeable rank and the upgrade type of the upgradeable item. For instance, the most expensive possible weapon upgrade is a weapon of tier 10. The most commonly used upgrade is a gun with tier 6 and an armor upgrade of tier 5.

Sets

A set is a set of items that all share the same bonus. Each item in the set can be upgraded at least once and the upgrade increases the guaranteed bonuses. When you first upgrade an item, its initial stat will be +1. In subsequent upgrades the primary stats will be boosted a bit further (for example, +1 to 12+/13+/14+) Each time you upgrade the item, one of its extra stats is increased randomly.

Upgrading a weapon can also increase the damage base, which can be crucial for certain builds. Weapons can't be upgraded for a higher maximum defence roll than their base. Upgrades can be a great way to improve the value of a set and unique items, however it's important to note that they may not be more effective than a high-level raneword 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 zero. Rerolling costs the same amount of power dice as bringing an item upgrader kit, however the upgraded item will come with additional bonuses. Upgrades can be completed by visiting the NPC [Armor] Boboko in the Central Flarine. To upgrade an item, you will require a power die of each kind (Dice 4 or 6 drop from monsters 21+ and Giants; dice 7 drops from bosses) and the right amount of Minerals and Erons. They can be purchased by using Gold at the crafting table or in the Ultra Collection. The NPC will also offer a special reward for each tier of the upgrade process. This reward can be rerolled a single time using the same materials and components as the first item.

Rerolling

A player can reroll any item acquired during the game, provided they have enough tokens. When an upgraded item upgrader gets 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 a small amount of in-game currency, but they aren't refundable. The new item will come with the same bonus features as the previous one, but the stats will also be different.

In addition to rerolling items, players can also change the identification of any item by interfacing with an upgrader NPC. This will change its identification from a weapon to an armor or reverse the process. The basic stats and requirements remain the same. The change will be permanent and affect all characters who own the equipment.

Players can also increase the level of their item on any equipped equipment by acquiring upgrade components and interacting with the NPC who upgrades the item. The cost will differ based on the upgrade track, item type and the number of crests. Each step will give 5percent more damage to weapons.

Upgrades can increase the capability of an item, but they also can decrease the quality of an item. Therefore, it is important to find a balance between these two. Some items may not be worth upgrading however, others will need to be upgraded in order to realize their potential. For example an individual player may want to upgrade a piece breakpoint armor with an interesting modifier ( percent chance of blocking or FHR) to see what it can be.

Rerolling is a common practice in Genshin Impact and other gacha-based games. People do it to gain access to the 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 options left is to shell out real money or grind for a long time. This is why rerolling is a very popular option in Genshin Impact.

Leveling

When upgrading an item, you can pick to level up the weapon or armor. This feature is not available in the current version of the game. I believe it was designed to be a way to add value to rare items, but since equipment generally drops quickly and can only be upgraded one level up it is likely that you will replace the item before it becomes too old. It's also not worthwhile to upgrade items with gem sockets because the power of the gem will outweigh the increased ilvl that comes with the upgrade.

You will see 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 Valorstone cost to raise the item's level. Armor and weapons will have different prices, with the latter typically being more costly. The upgrade template lists the stats that can be added to an upgraded item along with its current base ilvl.

The Crest and Valorstone costs are calculated by analyzing the item's current ilvl as well as the upgrade template. The ilvl is also reduced by the upgrade template's reduction percentage for lvl. For instance weapons with an increase of 8% will reduce its value by 8-8 percent.

The item will get upgrades to other stats like critical strike damage, PvE damages, and block, parry and dodge rating, in addition to the base level. These increases are also based off the upgrade template.

The amount of damage and defense that the item is able to receive as it gets leveled up can be seen below the cost and upgrade decrease percentages in the upgrade template window. All armor and weapons, except practice equipment, get these stats when they level up. The value of these additional stats will be determined by the market, with a perfectly perfectly rolled version of a weapon or piece of armor is able to command higher trade values than non-upp'd versions. Similar is the case for other pieces of armor like tiaras and circlets.
