Path of Exile item upgrades Upgrading

In Path of Exile, item upgrading is one of the best ways to improve your gear without relying upon large-ticket drops or trade. This article will teach you how to upgrade your items efficiently.

Upgrades in equipment can add an increase to the item's base stats. This bonus scales with the upgrade component level and rarity.

Components

Upgrade components are the things that can make your weapons and armor better. They can be found through destroying enemies, buying them from karma vendors or finding them in the form of item-spheres. They can also be salvaged from equipment that has them, or through an advanced salvage kit such as the Black Lion Salvage Kit or Ascended Salvage Tool. Upgrade components cannot be destroyed by removing them from the item.

The main function of upgrade components is to enable an item to be upgraded, however, they also serve other purposes. They can be stacked to boost the level or experience gained by upgrading existing weapons or gear. They can be made for additional bonuses. A crafted glyph can increase the chances of upgrading its target while an upgrade boosts the attack or defense capabilities of weapons.

By selecting an upgrade template from the GUI will allow you to connect it to an item. It will display a list of upgrade components that the item can be upgraded to. You can also use the workbench for selecting an upgrade template. In either case, an item will be upgraded once enough upgrade Item components have been gathered.

Each component has its own experience multiplier, which affects how much more experience an item gets when it is upgraded by the component. For instance, organic components give more experience multipliers than mechanical ones. It is recommended to upgrade your organic components first until you reach the next level in the weapon or equipment, then switch to mechanical upgrades.

In addition to the multiplier of experience, each item also has a maximum number of upgrades 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. The most powerful upgrade is a weapon of 10th level. The most commonly used upgrade is a gun of tier 6 and an armor upgrade of tier 5.

Sets

A set is a collection of items that have the benefit of. Each item can be upgraded at minimum once. The upgrade increases the guaranteed bonuses. The first time you upgrade an item, its initial stat will be +1. After subsequent upgrades, the primary stats will be increased a bit more (for example, +1 to 12+/13+/14+) Each time you upgrade the item with an additional stats is boosted randomly.

The upgrade of a weapon can increase its damage base, which could be crucial for certain builds. However, weapons cannot be upgraded to a higher defense base than their base. It is a good way to improve the value of certain sets and unique items, however it's important to note that they may not be superior to a high-level runeword in any build.

If you are upgrading an item with a bonus it can be rerolled one time and the guarantee will reset to zero. The same power dies are used to reroll an item as it is used to increase its level. However, the new item has different bonuses. Upgrades can be made at the NPC [Armorthe ] Boboko in the Central Flarine. To upgrade an item you will require the proper amount of Minerals and Erons as well as a power dice of each kind. These can be bought with Gold at the crafting table, or in the Ultra Collection. NPCs will also provide special rewards for each completed level of the upgrade process. This reward can be rerolled a single time using the same materials and components as the first item.

Rerolling

If the player has enough rerolling tokens, they can roll any item they have acquired during the game. When an upgraded item is being rerolled, it can be exchanged for an equivalent level 1 version of the same item from a different set. Reroll tokens are available from the store for small amounts of in-game currency, however they aren't refundable. The upgraded item will still have the extra bonuses of the first, but its stats will be different also.

Players can change the identification of their equipment, in addition to changing it's roll by interfacing with an upgrader NPC. This will change the identity from a weapon to armor or vice versa, all the while keeping its basic stats and attributes that are required. The change is permanent and will affect all characters who are wearing the gear.

The player can also upgrade their item level upgrade level for any equipped equipment. This is accomplished by interacting with an upgrader NPC, and then obtaining upgrade components. This will cost a set amount of crests and Valorstones dependent on the upgrade track and type. Each step will give an additional 5% of damage to weapons.

Upgrades can boost the effectiveness of an item, however they also decrease its quality. It is therefore important to find a balance between these two. Some items aren't worth upgrading, while other items need to be upgraded to reach their full potential. One player may wish to upgrade their breakpoint armor using an interesting modification ( percent block chance or FHR) in order to see what else it can become.

The primary reason why people are able to reroll in Genshin Impact, or in any gacha-based game is because they're trying to obtain a particular character or weapon that they wouldn't otherwise be able to acquire. The process of obtaining these items can be costly and time-consuming, and the RNG gods do not always want to cooperate. The only options left is to shell out real money or grind a lot. For this reason, rerolling is a very popular option in Genshin Impact.

Leveling

You can select whether to upgrade the weapon or armor after upgrading an item. However, this feature does absolutely nothing in the current game. I believe this feature was created to give value to rare and expensive items. However, since the majority of equipment is replaced quickly, and it can only be leveled up one level, you'll generally replace it before it is too old. It's not worth it to upgrade items with gem sockets because the power of the gem will be greater than the increased ilvl that comes with the upgrade.

When you click the upgrade button on an item, you'll get a small screen with the upgrade template of the item as well as the cost of Valorstone and crest to increase the item level. Armor and weapons have different costs, with the latter generally being more expensive. The upgrade template lists the statistics that will be added to the upgraded item and it also lists the current base ilvl.

The cost of the Valorstone and crest is calculated using the current Ilvl of the item as well as the upgrade templates. The ilvl will also be reduced by the upgrade templates lvl reduction percentage. For example weapons with an upgrade decrease of 8% will reduce its count by 8-8 percent.

The item will be upgraded to other stats, such as critical strike damage, PvE damage, and block, parry, and dodge rating, in addition to the base level. Those increases are also built on the upgrade item template.

In the upgrade template you can determine the amount of damage or defense the item will be able to sustain after it is leveled up. This is displayed below the cost as well as the upgrade percentages. Apart from the practice equipment, all items and armor get the same stats once upgraded. The value of these additional stats will be dictated by the market, with a rolled perfect version of a piece of armor or weapon is able to command more trade value than non-upp'd versions. The same applies to other pieces of armor, like tiaras and circlets.
