Path of Exile Item Upgrading
In Path of Exile, item upgrading is among the best ways to upgrade your gear without relying upon massive drops or trade. This article will help you understand how to upgrade your gear.
Upgrades to equipment grant a bonus on the item's stats. The bonus increases with upgrade component's level and rarity.
Components
Upgrade components can make your armour and weapons stronger. You can acquire them by fighting off enemies, locating them in item spheres, or buying them from karma dealers. They can also be rescued from equipment that contains them, or by utilizing an advanced salvage kit like the Black Lion Salvage Kit or Ascended Salvage Tool. Unlike most other items upgrade components, upgrade components aren't destroyed when removed from an item.
The primary function of upgrade components is to allow an item to be upgraded, but they also serve other purposes. They can be stacked to increase the quality of an upgradeable item, or they can be used to enhance the experience gained when upgrading an existing weapon or piece of equipment. They can also be made to provide extra bonuses. For instance, a crafted glyph will boost the chances of upgrading its target, and a boost upgrade will increase the attack or defense attribute of a weapon or armor.
Selecting an upgrade template from the GUI will let you bind it to an item. This will show the list of upgrade components that the item can be upgraded to. You can also use the workbench when selecting an upgrade template. In either instance, the item will be upgraded once enough upgrade components are collected.
Each component has its own experience multiplier. This determines the amount of experience an item can gain when upgraded using the component. Organic components, for example have more experience multipliers than mechanical components. It is therefore best to upgrade with organic components until you reach the experience multiplier of the next level of the equipment or weapon, and then change to mechanical upgrades.
In addition to the multiplier of experience every item also has the maximum number of upgrades that it can receive. The number of upgrades available is determined by the rank that can be upgraded and the type of upgrade for the upgradeable item. For instance, the highest possible weapon upgrade is a tier 10 weapon. However, the most common upgrades for weapons are an tier 6 weapon as well as an armor upgrade of tier 5.
Sets
A set is a collection of objects that share the same bonus. Each item can be upgraded at least once. The upgrade increases the amount of bonuses you can expect to receive. When you first upgrade a set piece or weapon will give it an increase of +1 to its primary stat. After subsequent upgrades, the primary stats will be boosted a bit more (for example, +1 to 12+/13+/14+), and each time you upgrade the item with an additional stats is increased randomly.
Upgrading a weapon can also increase the damage base, which could be important for some builds. Weapons can't be upgraded for greater maximum defence rolls than their base. It is a good way to improve the value of a set and unique items, but it's important to note that they're not necessarily superior to a high-level runeword in any build.
If you're upgrading an item with bonuses, the item can be rerolled a single time, and its guarantee will reset to 0. Rerolling will cost the same amount of power dice as bringing an item, however the new item will offer different extra bonuses. Upgrades can be completed at the NPC [Armorthe ] Boboko in the Central Flarine. To upgrade an item you will require the proper amount of Minerals and Erons and a power dice of each kind. They can be purchased with Gold at the crafting table, or in the Ultra Collection. The NPC will also give an additional reward for each completed tier of the upgrade process. The reward can be rerolled a single time with the same materials and components as the first item.
Rerolling
A player can reroll any item acquired in the game provided they have enough tokens. If an upgraded item is to be rerolled, it will be exchanged for the version at a level 1 of the same item from a different set. Reroll tokens are available at the store for a small amount of in-game currency. However, they are not refundable. The new item will have the same bonus features as the original, but the stats will be different.
In addition to rerolling objects, players can also alter the identification of any equipment by interfacing with an upgrader NPC. This will change the identification from an armored weapon to a weapon, or vice versa, all the while keeping its basic stats and required attributes. The change is permanent and will affect all characters that have the gear in question.
Players can also increase the level of an item equipped equipment by acquiring upgrade items and conversing with the item's upgrader NPC. It will cost a specific amount of crests and Valorstones depending on the upgrade track and the item kind. Each upgrade will add 5% more damage to weapons.
Upgrades can boost the effectiveness of an item, but they also can decrease its quality. Therefore, it is crucial to keep both in check. Certain items aren't worth upgrading, while other items require upgrades to make them more effective. A player may want to upgrade the breakpoint armor by adding an interesting modifier ( percent block chance, or FHR) to discover what it could be.
Rerolling is a popular practice in Genshin Impact and other gacha-based games. It is a method used by players in order to get a character or weapon they would not otherwise be able to acquire. The process of obtaining these items can be expensive and time-consuming and the RNG gods do not always want to cooperate. The only choices left are to spend real cash or grind for a long time. Rerolling is very popular in Genshin Impact.
Leveling
You can decide to upgrade the weapon or armor when you upgrade an item. However, this feature does absolutely nothing in the current game. I think this feature was created to increase the value of rare and expensive items. However, since most items are replaced quite quickly, and can only be upgraded one level, you'll typically replace it before it is too old. It's not worth it to level items that have gem sockets since the value of the gem will be greater than the increased ilvl that comes with the upgrade.
When you click the upgrade option on an item, you'll be presented with a small window displaying the upgrade template for the item and the cost of crest and Valorstone to boost the level of the item. Armor and weapons have different costs, with the latter typically being more costly. The upgrade template outlines the statistics that will be added to the upgraded item and will also list its current ilvl.
The Crest and Valorstone costs are calculated according to the current ilvl of the item and the upgrade template. The ilvl will also be reduced by the upgrade template's reduction percentage of lvl. For instance, a weapon with an upgrade decrease of 8% will reduce its ilvl 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 ilvl. These increases are dependent on the upgrade template.
In the upgrade template you can check the amount of damage or defense that the item will suffer when it is upgraded. This is shown below the cost as well as the upgrade percentages. All armor and weapons apart from practice equipment gain these stats upon leveling up. The value of these stats will be dictated by the market, with a perfectly perfectly rolled version of a piece of armor or weapon is able to command more in trade value than unupp'd versions. This is also true for other pieces of armor, like tiaras and circlets.
