Path of Exile Item Upgrading
The most effective way to improve your gear in Path of Exile is through upgrading your items. This allows you to upgrade your gear without having rely on expensive trades or drops. This article will teach you how to upgrade your gear effectively.
Upgrades to equipment give an additional bonus to the item's stats. This bonus is based on the upgrade component level and rarity.
Components
Upgrade components make your weapons and armour better. They can be obtained by destroying enemies, finding them in item spheres or buying them from karma dealers. You can also salvage them from equipment that has the components or by using high-end salvage kits like Black Lion Salvage Kit and Ascended Salvage Tool. Upgrade components are not destroyed when they are removed from the item.
The main function of upgrade components is to enable an item to be upgraded, however, they also serve other purposes. item upgrading can be used to boost the level or the amount of experience gained by upgrading weapons or gear. They can be forged to give extra bonuses. For example, a created glyph can increase the upgrade chance of its target, and an upgrade boost will boost the defense or attack quality of a weapon or armor.
You can attach an upgrade template to an item by selecting it from the edition GUI. This will show the upgrade components that the item can be updated. You can also utilize the workbench to select an upgrade template. In either case, an item will be upgraded once enough upgrade components have been collected.
Each component has a distinct experience multiplier, which determines the amount of experience an item gets when it upgrades with that 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 weapon or gear, then move to mechanical upgrades.
Each item comes with an upgrade maximum number that can be received. The number of upgrades available is determined by the upgradeable rank and the type of upgrade available to the upgradeable item. The most powerful upgrade is a weapon with the tier 10. The most commonly used upgrade is a gun of tier 6 and a armor upgrade for tier 5.
Sets
A set is a group of items that have the benefit of. Each item in the set can be upgraded at least one time, and the upgrade increases the guaranteed bonuses. When you first upgrade the set piece or weapon is that it will be given a +1 increase to its primary stat. After subsequent upgrades, the primary stats will be boosted a bit more (for example, +1 up to 12+/13+/14+) Each time you upgrade the item with an additional stats is boosted randomly.
Upgrading a weapon can also increase its damage base, which can be necessary for certain builds. However, weapons cannot be upgraded to have a higher defense level than their base. It's possible to increase the value of certain sets and unique items by upgrading them, but they're not always better than a Runeword with a high level.
If the item you're upgrading has a guaranteed bonus, it can be rerolled only once, and then its guarantee will be reset to zero. Rerolling will cost the same amount of power dice as bringing an item, however the new item will offer different extra bonuses. Upgrading can be done through the NPC [Armor] Boboko in the Central Flarine. To upgrade an item you will need the appropriate amount Minerals and Erons as well as a power dice of each type. They can be purchased by using Gold at the crafting table or in the Ultra Collection. The NPC will also offer an extra reward for each tier of the upgrade process. The 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 to be able to do so. If an upgraded item is being rerolled, it can be exchanged for a version that is level 1 of the same item from a different set. Reroll tokens are available at the store for an amount of in-game currency, however they aren't refundable. The new item will have the same extra bonuses as the original, but the stats will be different.
In addition to rerolling items, players can also alter the identification of any item by interacting with an upgrader NPC. The equipment's identification will change as a weapon to armor, or reverse the process. Its base stats and requirements remain the same. The change will be permanent and will affect all characters who have the equipment.
Players can also boost the level of their item on any equipped equipment by acquiring upgrade items and conversing with the upgrader NPC of the item. The cost will vary depending on the upgrade track, the item type, and the number of crests. Each upgrade will add 5percent more damage to weapons.
Upgrades can boost the power of an item, but they also decrease its quality. Therefore, it is important to strike a balance between the two. Certain items aren't worth upgrading, while other items require upgrades to reach their full potential. A player might want to upgrade the breakpoint armor by adding an interesting modification ( percent block chance or FHR) to see what else it can become.
The main reason people reroll in Genshin Impact, or in any gacha-based game is because they're trying to obtain a particular weapon or character that they aren't able to obtain. These items are time-consuming and costly to obtain, and the RNG doesn't always play nice. The only alternatives are to spend real money or grind a lot. Rerolling is a very popular choice in Genshin Impact.
Leveling
You can choose whether to upgrade the weapon or armor when you upgrade an item. This feature isn't available in the current version of the game. I think this feature was created to increase the value of expensive and rare items. However, since the majority of items are replaced quite quickly and can only be upgraded by to a certain level, you will usually replace it before it is too old. It's also not worth it to upgrade items that have gem sockets as the power 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 get a small screen with the item's upgrade template and the cost of crest and Valorstone to increase the level of the item. The costs will vary between armor and weapons, with the former usually costing more than the latter. The upgrade template outlines the stats that can be added to an upgraded item, as well as its current ilvl.
The cost of the Valorstone and crest is calculated using the current Ilvl of the item as well as the upgrade templates. Additionally, the ilvl of the new upgraded item will be decreased by the template's lvl decrease percentage. For instance weapons with an upgrade decrease of 8% will reduce its value by 8-8 percent.
The item will be upgraded to other stats, like critical strike damage, PvE damage, and block, parry, and dodge rating, in addition to the base ilvl. Those increases are also built on the upgrade template.
The amount of defense and damage 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 that are not practice equipment get these stats when they level up. The market determines the value of these stats. A weapon or armor with perfect rolls can fetch a much higher price than a non-upp’d version. Similar is the case for other pieces of armor like tiaras and circlets.
