Path of Exile Item Upgrading

The most effective way to upgrade your equipment in Path of Exile is through item upgrades. 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 an additional bonus to the item's base stats. The bonus increases with upgrade component level and rarity.

Components

Upgrade components are the items that can make your weapons and armor more effective. They can be obtained by fighting off enemies, locating them in item spheres or purchasing them from karma sellers. They can also be rescued from equipment with them, or by utilizing an advanced salvage kit such as the Black Lion Salvage Kit or Ascended Salvage Tool. Unlike most other items upgrade components, upgrade components aren't destroyed when they are removed from an item.

The main purpose of upgrade components is to allow an item to be upgraded, but they also serve other purposes. They can be stacked to increase the level of experience gained by upgrading existing equipment or weapons. They can also be forged to give additional bonuses. For instance, a created glyph can increase the chance of upgrading its target, and an upgrade boost will increase the attack or defense quality of a weapon or armor.

You can connect an upgrade template to an item upgrader by selecting it from the edition GUI. This will display the upgrade components to which the item can be updated. You can also use the workbench when selecting an upgrade template. In either instance, the item will be upgraded when enough upgrade components have been collected.

Each component has a different experience multiplier, which determines how much more experience an item receives when it is upgraded by that component. Organic components, like, have an increased multiplier of experience than mechanical components. It is recommended to upgrade the organic components first, until you reach the next level in the weapon or equipment, then switch to mechanical upgrades.

Each item has an upgrade maximum number that it is possible to receive. The number of upgrades available is determined by its upgradeable rank and the type of upgrade for the upgradeable item. The most powerful upgrade is a weapon that is the tier 10. However, the most common weapon upgrades are an tier 6 weapon as well as an armor upgrade of tier 5.

Sets

A set is a collection of items which all have the same bonus. Each item in the set can be upgraded at least one time, and the upgrade increases its guaranteed bonuses. The first time you upgrade an item, its primary stat will be +1. After subsequent upgrades, the primary stats will be boosted a little more (for example, +1 up to 12+/13+/14+), and each time you upgrade the item, one of its extra stats is increased randomly.

Upgrading a weapon can also increase the damage base, which can be important for some builds. However, weapons are not upgraded to have a greater defense base than their normal base. It is possible to increase 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 that has an added bonus the item can be rerolled a single time and the guarantee will reset to zero. The same power dies are used to reroll an item as it would be to increase its level. However, the new item has different bonuses. The NPC [Armor] Boboko can upgrade your armor in Central Flarine. To upgrade an item, you will need the appropriate amount Minerals and Erons and a power dice of each type. These are available at the crafting table or the Ultra Collector and can be purchased using Gold. NPCs also offer special rewards for each level of the upgrade process. This reward can be rerolled once, and the reroll will be made using the same materials used in the original item.

Rerolling

A player can roll any item they have acquired in the game if they have enough reroll tokens to do so. If an upgraded item is rerolled, it will be exchanged for the version that is level 1 of the same item from a different set. Reroll tokens are available at the store for a small amount of in-game currency, but they cannot be refunded. The new item upgraded will have the same bonuses of the first however its stats will differ too.

In addition to rerolling objects, players can also change the identification of any item level upgrade by interfacing with an upgrader NPC. This will change its identification from a weapons to armor or vice versa. The basic stats and requirements remain the same. The change is permanent and will affect all characters that are wearing the gear.

Players can also boost the level of an item equipped equipment by acquiring upgrade items and conversing with the upgrader NPC of the item upgrader mod. The cost will differ based on the upgrade track, item type, and the number of crests. Each step will add an additional 5% of damage to weapons.

Upgrades can increase the capability of an item, but they can also reduce its quality. It is therefore important to keep both in check. Certain items might not be worth upgrading at all however, others will need to be upgraded in order to reach their potential. A player might want to upgrade breakpoint armor with an interesting modification ( percent block chance, or FHR) in order to discover what it could become.

Rerolling is a popular practice in Genshin Impact and other gacha-based games. People use it to try to obtain an item or character they cannot otherwise get. These items can be time-consuming and expensive to acquire, and the RNG does not always work in a positive way. The only choices left are to invest real money or grind a lot. Rerolling is extremely popular in Genshin Impact.

Leveling

When upgrading an item you can upgrade the weapon or armor. However, this feature does absolutely nothing in the current game. I believe this feature was intended to increase the value of rare and expensive items. However, since the majority of equipment is replaced quickly and can only be upgraded one level, you will generally replace it before it gets too old. It's also not worth upgrading items with gem sockets, as the power of the gem will outweigh any increment in the ilvl.

If you click the upgrade button on an item, you will see a small window with the upgrade template of the item as well as the crest and Valorstone costs to increase the level of the Item Upgrade. Armor and weapons will have different prices, with the latter typically being more costly. The upgrade template lists the stats that can be added to an upgraded item, along with its current base ilvl.

The cost of the Valorstone and the crest is calculated based on the current Ilvl of the item as well as the upgrade templates. In addition the ilvl of a new upgraded item will be decreased by the template's lvl decrease percentage. For instance the weapon that has an increase of 8% will decrease its count by 8-8 percent.

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

The amount of damage and defense that the item receives when it is leveled can be shown below the upgrade cost and decrease percentages in the upgrade template window. All armor and weapons that are not practice equipment gain these stats upon leveling up. The value of these stats will be dictated by the market, with a perfectly rolled piece of armor or weapon is able to command higher trade values than non-upp'd versions. The same applies to other armor pieces like circlets and Tiaras.
