Path of Exile Item Upgrading

In Path of Exile, item upgrading is among the most effective ways to upgrade your equipment without relying on big-ticket drops or trade. This article will show you how to upgrade your gear.

Upgrades to equipment give an increase in the item's stats. This bonus is based on the upgrade component level and rarity.

Components

Upgrade components can make your armour and weapons better. They can be found by destroying enemies, buying them from karma vendors or finding them in Best item upgrader-spheres. They can also be salvaged from equipment with them or by using an advanced salvage kit such as the Black Lion Salvage Kit or Ascended Salvage Tool. In contrast to other items, upgrade components are not destroyed when they are removed from an item.

The main function of upgrade components is to enable an item to be upgraded, but they also serve other purposes. They can be stacked in order to increase the level of experience gained by upgrading existing equipment or weapons. They can be made for additional bonuses. For instance, a designed glyph will increase the chances of upgrading its target, whereas an upgrade boost will increase the attack or defense attribute of a weapon or armor.

You can attach an upgrade template to an item by selecting it from the edition GUI. This will show an upgrade component list that the item can be upgraded to. Alternatively, you can make use of the workbench to choose an upgrade template. In either case the item will be upgraded once enough upgrade components are gathered.

Each component has its own experience multiplier. This determines how much experience an item gains when upgraded using the component. For instance, organic components give a higher experience multiplier than mechanical ones. Therefore, it is recommended to upgrade using organic components until you have reached the experience multiplier of the next rank of the weapon or gear, then switch to mechanical upgrades.

In addition to the experience multiplier, each item also has the maximum number of upgrades it can receive. The number of upgrades is determined by the upgradeable rank and the upgrade type of the upgradeable item. For example, the highest possible upgrade for a weapon is a tier 10 weapon. However, the most commonly used weapon upgrades are a tier 6 weapon and an armor upgrade of tier 5.

Sets

A set is a group of items which share bonuses. Each item can be upgraded at least once. The upgrade boosts the guaranteed bonuses. When you first upgrade a set piece or weapon, it will receive an increase of +1 to its primary stat. 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 additional stats is increased randomly.

Upgrades can also increase the base damage of a weapon. This can be crucial for certain types of builds. Weapons cannot be upgraded for an increased maximum defence roll than their base. Upgrading can be a good method to increase the value of certain sets 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 you're upgrading an item with a bonus, the item upgrader mod can be rerolled once, and its guarantee will reset to zero. The same amount of power die is used to reroll an item, just as it would be to level it up. However the new item comes with different bonuses. Upgrades can be completed at the NPC [ArmorBoboko. Boboko in the Central Flarine. To upgrade an item you will require the required amount of Minerals and Erons and a power dice of each kind. These are available at the crafting table or in the Ultra Collector and can be purchased using Gold. The NPC will also offer an extra reward for every tier that is completed of the upgrade process. This reward can be rerolled a second time and will be made using the same materials used in the original item.

Rerolling

If the player has enough rerolling tokens, they can reroll any item that they have acquired during the game. If an upgraded item level upgrade is to be rerolled, it will be exchanged for an equivalent version that is level 1 of the same item level upgrade in another set. Reroll tokens are sold in the store for a small amount of in-game currency. They are non-refundable. The new item will come with the same bonuses like the first, however the statistics will also be different.

Players can alter the identification of equipment in addition to rerolling it by interacting with an upgrader NPC. This will change its identification as a weapon to armor or vice versa. The base stats and requirements will remain the same. The change is permanent and will affect all characters that own the gear in question.

The player can also upgrade the level of the item for any equipment equipped. This is accomplished by engaging with an upgrader NPC and obtaining upgrade components. It will cost a specific amount of crests and Valorstones according to the upgrade track and item kind. For weapons, each step will add an additional five percent to the damage.

Upgrades can boost the capability of an item, however they can also reduce its quality. It is therefore important to strike a balance between the two. Some items may not be worth upgrading and some will require to be upgraded in order to maximize their potential. A player might want to upgrade the breakpoint armor by adding an interesting modification ( percent block chance, or FHR) in order to explore what else it can become.

The main reason people play rerolls in Genshin Impact, or in any gacha-based game is because they're trying to get a specific character or weapon that they wouldn't otherwise be able to acquire. These items can be time-consuming and expensive to acquire and the RNG doesn't always play nice. The only alternatives are to spend money or grind extensively. This is why rerolling is a very popular choice in Genshin Impact.

Leveling

When upgrading an item, you can pick to increase the level of the weapon or armor. This feature is not available in the current version of the game. I think this feature was designed to add some value to rare and expensive items. However, since the majority of equipment is replaced quickly, and can only be upgraded by one level, you'll generally replace it before it is too old. It's also not worth upgrading items using gem sockets because the power of the gem will outweigh any increase in ilvl.

If you click the upgrade button on an item, you will see a small window with the item's upgrade template and the cost of Valorstone and crest to increase the item level. The cost will differ 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 along with its current base ilvl.

The cost of the Valorstone and the crest is calculated based on the current Ilvl of the item and the upgrade templates. Additionally the ilvl of a new upgraded item will be reduced by the upgrade items template's lvl decrease percentage. For instance, an upgrade of 8% can reduce the weapon's ilvl by 8 to 8percent.

In addition to the increase in ilvl base it will also be upgraded in other stats such as critical strike damage, PvE damage and dodge, block and parry rating. These upgrades are also based on the upgrade template.

In the upgrade template you can check the amount of damage or defense an item will receive when it is upgraded. This is shown below the cost and the upgrade percentages. All armor and weapons that are not 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 weapon or piece of armor is able to command more trade value than non-upp'd versions. This is also true for other armor pieces such as circlets or tiaras.
