Path of Exile Item Upgrading
The most effective way to upgrade your equipment in Path of Exile is through upgrading your items. This lets you upgrade your gear without having depend on costly trades or drops. This article will teach you how to upp your gear effectively.
Upgrades to equipment provide a bonus to the item's base stats. The amount of bonus varies according to the rarity and quality of the upgrade component.
Components
Upgrade components make your armour and weapons stronger. You can locate them through destroying enemies, buying them from karma vendors or finding them in items-spheres. You can also get them from equipment that has the components, or by utilizing high-end salvage kits like Black Lion Salvage Kit and Ascended Salvage Tool. In contrast to other items upgrades aren't destroyed when they are removed from an item.
Upgrade components are typically used to improve an item however, they can also be used for other reasons. They can be used to increase the quality of an upgradeable item or they can be used to increase the experience gained when upgrading an existing weapon or piece of equipment. They can be forged for additional benefits. For instance, a created glyph can increase the upgrade chance of its target, while a boost upgrade will enhance the defense or attack attribute of a weapon or armor.
You can connect an upgrade template to an item by selecting it from the edition GUI. This will display the upgrade components that the item can be upgraded. 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 have been collected.
Each component has a unique experience multiplier. This determines the amount of experience an item can gain when upgraded using that component. For instance, organic components have a a higher experience multiplier than mechanical ones. It is therefore best to upgrade using organic components until you reach the experience multiplier of the next level of the weapon or gear, and then switch to mechanical upgrades.
Each item has an upgrade limit number that is available for. The number of items that are upgradeable is determined by their upgradeable rank and the type of upgrade they can receive. The highest upgrade possible is a weapon that is the tier 10. However, the most popular 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 all share the same bonus. Each item in the set can be upgraded at least once and each upgrade boosts its guaranteed bonuses. The first time you upgrade an item, its primary stat will be +1. In subsequent upgrades the primary stats will be boosted a bit more (for example, +1 to 12+/13+/14+) Every time you upgrade the item, one of its extra stats will be increased randomly.
Upgrades can also increase the base damage of a weapon. This may be important for certain types of weapons. However, weapons are not upgraded to have a greater defense level than their normal base. It is possible to increase value of specific sets and unique items by upgrading them, however they're not always superior to a higher-level Runeword.
If the item you're upgrading has a guarantee bonus that is guaranteed, it can be rerolled a few times and the guarantee will reset to 0. Rerolling costs the same amount of power dice as bringing an item, however the upgraded item will come with different extra bonuses. The NPC [ArmorBoboko Boboko can upgrade your armor in 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 proper amount of Minerals and Erons. These can be purchased by using Gold at the crafting table, or in the Ultra Collection. NPCs also offer special rewards for each completed stage of the upgrade process. This reward can be rerolled a second time and the reroll will use the same materials as the first item.
Rerolling
If players have enough rerolling tokens, they can reroll any item that they've accumulated during the game. When an upgraded item is rerolled, it will be exchanged for a version that is level 1 of the same item in a different set. Reroll tokens are sold in the store for a small sum of in-game currency. They are not refundable. The upgraded item will still have the extra bonuses of the original one, but its stats will differ too.
Players can alter the identification of their equipment as well as changing it's roll by interfacing with an upgrader NPC. This will change the identification from a weapon to armor or vice versa, while retaining its base stats and the attributes it requires. The change is permanent and will affect all characters who have the gear in question.
Players can also boost the item level of any equipped equipment by acquiring upgrade item s and conversing with the upgrader NPC of the item. The cost will differ based on the upgrade track, item type, and the number of crests. For weapons, each step will add an additional five percent to the damage.
An upgrade can boost its power however, it can also lower its quality. Therefore, it is important to keep both in check. Some items may not be worth upgrading at all and some will require to be upgraded to reach their potential. One player may wish to upgrade breakpoint armor with an interesting modifier ( percent block chance or FHR) in order to discover what it could be.
The primary reason why people reroll in Genshin Impact, or in any gacha-based game is that they're trying to obtain a particular weapon or character that they aren't able to obtain. Getting these items can be expensive and time-consuming and the RNG gods don't always want to play. The only alternative is to spend real money or grind for a long time. Rerolling is very popular in Genshin Impact.
Leveling
When upgrading an item, you can choose to level up the weapon or armor. This feature is not available in the current version of the game. I believe that this feature was intended to increase the value of rare and expensive items. However, since most equipment is replaced quickly and can only be upgraded by one level, you will generally replace it before it is too old. It's not worth upgrading items with gem sockets because the power of the stone will outweigh any increase in the ilvl.
You will see a small box when you click the upgrade option on an item. It will display the template for the item, its crest, and the cost of Valorstone to increase the level of the item. The costs will vary between weapons and armor, with the former usually costing more than the latter. The upgrade template shows the statistics that will be added to the upgraded item and also lists its current ilvl.
The cost of the Valorstone and crest is calculated using the current Ilvl of the item and the upgrade templates. Additionally the ilvl of the new upgraded item will be decreased by the upgrade template's lvl decrease percentage. For example weapons with an 8% upgrade decrease will decrease its ilvl by 8 - 8%.
In addition to the base ilvl increase the item will also be upgraded in other stats like critical strike damage, PvE damage and dodge, block and parry rating. These upgrades are also based on the upgrade template.
The amount of defense and damage the item receives when leveled up can be seen below the upgrade cost and decrease percentages in the upgrade template window. Apart from the equipment for practice, all weapons and armor gain the same stats once upgraded. The value of these additional stats will be dictated by the market, with a perfectly rolled version of a weapon or piece of armor can command significantly more in trade value than unupp'd versions. The same applies to other armor pieces, like tiaras and circlets.
