A Step-By-Step Guide To Item Upgrading

Path of Exile Item Upgrading

The Best item upgrade way to improve your gear in Path of Exile is through item upgrades. This lets you improve it without having to depend on costly trades or drops. This article will teach you how to upp your gear effectively.

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

Components

Upgrade components make your armour and weapons better. You can locate them by destroying enemies, purchasing them from karma sellers or finding them in the form of item-spheres. You can also salvage them from equipment containing the components or by using salvage kits of high-end quality, such as Black Lion Salvage Kit and Ascended Salvage Tool. Upgrade components aren't destroyed by removing them from the item.

Upgrade components are mostly used to upgrade an item, but they can also be used for other reasons. They can be stacked to increase the level of an upgradeable item or they can be used to increase the amount of experience gained from upgrading an existing weapon or piece of gear. They can also be made to offer additional benefits. For instance, a specially crafted glyph will boost the upgrade chance of its target, whereas an upgrade boost will boost the defense or attack attribute of a weapon or armor.

By selecting an upgrade item (just click for source) template from the GUI will allow you to bind it to an item. This will display the upgrade components to which the item can be updated. You can also use the workbench to selecting an upgrade template. In either scenario, the item will be upgraded when enough upgrade components are gathered.

Each component has a unique experience multiplier. This determines how much experience an item can gain when upgraded using that component. For instance, organic components give a higher experience multiplier than mechanical ones. You should upgrade organic components first until you reach the next level in the weapon or equipment and then switch to the mechanical upgrades.

In addition to the multiplier for experience Each item also comes with a maximum number of upgrades it can receive. The number of upgradeable items is determined by their upgradeable rank, and the kind of upgrade they are able to receive. For instance, the highest possible weapon upgrade is a weapon with tier 10. However, the most commonly used upgrade for weapons is a tier 6 weapon and a tier 5 armor upgrade.

Sets

A set is a collection of objects which all have the same bonus. Each item in the set can be upgraded at least once, and each upgrade boosts its guaranteed bonuses. When you first upgrade a set piece or weapon, it will receive an increase of +1 to its primary stat. In subsequent upgrades the primary stats will be boosted a bit more (for example, +1 to 12+/13+/14+) Each time you upgrade the item it will have one of its additional stats is boosted randomly.

Upgrades to a weapon may increase its damage base, which could be important for some builds. However, weapons can't be upgraded to have a greater maximum defense roll than their base. It is possible to increase the value of specific sets and unique items by upgrading them, but they might not always be better than a Runeword with a high level.

If you're upgrading an item upgrader with an added bonus the item can be rerolled once and the guarantee will reset back to zero. Rerolling is the same amount of power dice as bringing an item, but the new item will offer additional bonuses. Upgrading can be done by visiting the NPC [Armor] Boboko 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. These are available at the crafting table or the Ultra Collector and can be purchased with Gold. NPCs also offer special rewards for each level of the upgrade process. The reward can be rerolled one time with the same materials as the original item.

Rerolling

A player can roll any item they have acquired during the game, provided they have enough tokens. If an item is rerolled, it will be replaced by a level 1 version in another set. Reroll tokens can be purchased in the store for a small amount of in-game currency. They cannot be refunded. The new item will come with the same bonuses as the original, but the statistics will also be different.

In addition to rerolling items, players can also alter the identity of any equipment by interfacing with an upgrader NPC. This will change the identity from an armor to a weapon or vice versa, while maintaining its base stats and attributes that are required. The change will be permanent and will affect all characters that own the equipment.

Players can also boost the item level of any equipped device by obtaining upgrade items and conversing with the upgrader NPC of the item. This will cost a set amount of crests and Valorstones dependent on the upgrade track and kind. For weapons, each step up will add five percent to the damage.

Upgrades can boost the capability of an item, but they also decrease the quality of an item. It is therefore important to keep both in check. Some items may not be worth upgrading and some will require to be upgraded in order to reach their potential. For example an individual player may wish to upgrade a piece of breakpoint armor that has an interesting modifier ( percent chance of blocking or FHR) to explore the possibilities of what it can be.

Rerolling is a standard practice in Genshin Impact and other gacha-based games. People use it to gain access to an item or character they cannot otherwise get. The process of obtaining these items can be costly and time-consuming, and the RNG gods do not always want to play. The only alternatives are to invest money or grind extensively. Rerolling is extremely popular in Genshin Impact.

Leveling

You can choose whether to upgrade the weapon or armor when upgrading an item. However, this feature is absolutely nothing in the current game. I believe that this feature was intended to add some value to rare and expensive items. However, since most items are replaced quite quickly, and can only be upgraded by one level, you'll typically replace it before it becomes too old. It's not worth it to upgrade items with gem sockets as the power of the gem will outweigh the increased ilvl that comes with the upgrade.

If you click on the upgrade option on an item, you will get a small screen with the upgrade template of the item as well as the crest and Valorstone costs to increase the item level. Weapons and armor will have different prices, with the latter usually being more expensive. The upgrade template outlines the stats that can be added to an upgraded item as well as its current ilvl.

The crest and Valorstone costs are calculated by analyzing the current ilvl of the item and the upgrade template. In addition the ilvl of the new upgraded item will be reduced by the upgrade template's lvl decrease percentage. For example an upgrade of 8% will decrease the weapon's ilvl by 8 to 88%.

The item will get upgrades to other stats like critical strike damage, PvE damage, and block, parry, and dodge rating, in addition to the base ilvl. The increases are also based on the upgrade template.

In the upgrade template you can see the amount of damage or defense that the item will receive after being leveled up. This is listed below the cost and the upgrade percentages. All weapons and armor apart from practice equipment get these stats when they level up. The market determines the value of these stats. A weapon or armor that has perfect rolls can command a much higher price than a non-upp’d version. The same applies to other pieces of armor, such as circlets and Tiaras.
