Path of Exile Item Upgrading

The best way to upgrade your gear in Path of Exile is through item upgrades (explanation). This allows you to upgrade your gear without having depend on costly drops or trades. This article will help you understand how to upgrade your gear.

Upgrades to equipment provide an additional bonus to the item's stats. This bonus scales with the upgrade component level and rarity.

Components

Upgrade components make your armour and weapons better. You can acquire them by destroying enemies, finding them in spheres of items or buying them from karma merchants. You can also get them from equipment that has the components, or by utilizing salvage kits of high-end quality, such as Black Lion Salvage Kit and Ascended Salvage Tool. Contrary to other products upgrades aren't destroyed when removed from an item level upgrade.

The main purpose of upgrade components is to enable an item to be upgraded, however, they also serve other purposes. They can be used to boost the value 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 bonuses. A glyph that is crafted can boost the upgrade chances of its target, while boost upgrades increase the attack or defense attributes of weapons.

You can attach an upgrade template to an item by selecting it from the edition GUI. This will show a list of upgrade components that the item can be upgraded to. Alternately, you can utilize the workbench to select an upgrade template. In either case, an item will be upgraded after enough upgrade components have been gathered.

Each component has its own experience multiplier that affects how much more experience an item gets when it is upgraded by that component. For instance, organic components have a a higher experience multiplier than mechanical ones. It is therefore recommended to upgrade with organic components until you reach the experience multiplier for the next level of the weapon or gear, and then move to mechanical upgrades.

In addition to the multiplier of experience Each item also comes with an maximum number of upgrades it can receive. 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 with tier 10. The most common weapon upgrade is a gun with tier 6 and an armor upgrade of tier 5.

Sets

A set is a group of items which share a bonus. Each item can be upgraded at the least once. The upgrade increases the amount of bonuses you can expect to receive. The first time you upgrade an item, its initial stat will be +1. On subsequent upgrades, the primary stats are enhanced even more (for instance the +1 bonus for 12+/13+/14+) and each time an item is upgraded one of its additional stats is increased randomly.

Upgrades can also boost a weapon's damage base. This can be crucial for certain builds. However, weapons cannot be upgraded to have a greater defense level than their base. It is possible to increase value of certain set and unique items by upgrading them, however they might not always be better than a Runeword with a high level.

If an item you're upgrading has a guaranteed bonus it is able to be rerolled once and its guarantee will reset to 0. Rerolling is the same amount of power dice as the process of leveling an item, but the new item will have different extra bonuses. The NPC [Armor] Boboko can upgrade your armor in Central Flarine. To upgrade an item, you will require the required amount of Minerals and Erons, as well as a power dice of each type. They can be purchased with Gold at the crafting table or in the Ultra Collection. The NPC will also offer a special reward for each tier of the upgrade process. This reward is rerollable once and the reroll will be made using the same materials as the first item.

Rerolling

If players have enough tokens for rerolling, they can reroll any item that they've acquired during the game. When an upgraded item is being rerolled, it can be exchanged for an equivalent 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 are not refundable. The new item will have the same bonuses as the previous one, but the stats will also differ.

Players can change the identity of their equipment, in addition to rerolling it by interacting with an upgrader NPC. The equipment's identification will change from a weapons to armor or reverse it. Its base requirements and stats remain the same. The change will be permanent and will affect all characters who have the gear.

Players can also boost the item level of any equipped equipment by obtaining upgrade components and communicating with the upgrader NPC of the item. This will cost a certain amount of crests and Valorstones dependent on the upgrade track and kind. For weapons, each step will add an additional 5percent to the damage.

Upgrades can increase the effectiveness of an item upgrader kit, however they also decrease the quality of an item. It is therefore essential to strike a balance between the two. Some items may not be worth upgrading at all however, others will need to be upgraded in order to realize their potential. A player might want to upgrade the breakpoint armor by adding an interesting modifier (% block chance or FHR) 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 are trying to obtain a particular character or weapon that they wouldn't otherwise be able to acquire. Getting these items can be costly and time-consuming and the RNG gods don't always want to cooperate. The only alternatives are to invest money or grind a lot. This is why rerolling is a popular option in Genshin Impact.

Leveling

When upgrading an item, you can pick to level up the weapon or armor. This feature is not available in the current version of the game. I think this feature was created to increase the value of expensive and rare items. However, as most gear is replaced fairly quickly, and it can only be leveled up to a certain level, you will generally replace it before it becomes too old. It is also not worth upgrading items using gem sockets since the power of the gem will outweigh any increase in the ilvl.

You will see a small box when you click on the upgrade option for an item. It will show the template of the item, the Crest, as well as the cost for Valorstone to raise the level of the item. Armor and weapons will have different prices, with the latter typically being more costly. The upgrade template shows the statistics that will be added to the upgraded item. It will also list its current ilvl.

The cost of the Valorstone and crest is calculated using the item's current Ilvl and the upgrade templates. Additionally the ilvl of the new upgraded item will be reduced by the template's lvl reduction percentage. For instance, a weapon with an upgrade decrease of 8% will decrease its value by 8-8 percent.

In addition to the base ilvl boost it will also receive upgrades in other stats such as critical strike damage, PvE damage, dodge, block and parry rating. These increases are dependent on the upgrade template.

In the upgrade template, you can check the amount of damage or defense the item will receive after being leveled up. This is displayed below the cost and upgrade percentages. All armor and weapons apart from practice equipment gain these stats upon leveling up. The value of these additional stats will be dictated by the market, with a perfectly perfectly rolled piece of armor or weapon able to command much more trade value than non-upp'd versions. The same is true for other pieces of armor such as circlets or Tiaras.
