20 Fun Facts About Item Upgrading

Path of Exile Item Upgrading

In Path of Exile, item upgrading is one of the best ways to upgrade item your gear without relying on massive drops or trade. This article will show you how to upp your items effectively.

Upgrading equipment grants an increase to the item's base stats. The amount of bonus varies depending on the rarity and quality of the upgrade component.

Components

Upgrade components are the things that improve your armor and weapons better. They can be obtained by fighting off enemies, locating them in item spheres or buying them from karma dealers. You can also salvage them from equipment that contains the components, or by utilizing high-tier salvage kits such as Black Lion Salvage Kit and Ascended Salvage Tool. Upgrade components cannot be destroyed when you remove them from an item.

Upgrade components are mostly used to improve an item however, they can also be used for other purposes. They can be stacked to increase the level of an upgradeable item, or they can be used to increase the experience gained by upgrading an existing weapon or piece of equipment. They can also be forged to provide extra bonuses. A glyph that is crafted can boost the chances of upgrading its target, and a boost upgrade increases the attack or defense capabilities of a weapon.

By selecting an upgrade template from the GUI will allow you to bind it to an item. This will display the upgrade components that the item can be upgraded. You can also use the workbench to selecting an upgrade template. In either instance the item will be upgraded once enough upgrade components have been collected.

Each component has a distinct experience multiplier, which affects how much more experience an item gets when it is upgraded by that component. For instance, organic components offer more experience multipliers than mechanical ones. It is recommended to upgrade your organic components first until you reach the next rank in the weapon or equipment, and then move on to mechanical upgrades.

Each item comes with an upgrade limit number that can be received. The number of items that can be upgraded is determined by their upgradeable rank and the kind of upgrade they can get. For example, the highest possible upgrade for a weapon is a tier 10 weapon. However, the most commonly used upgrades for weapons are an tier 6 weapon as well as an armor upgrade of tier 5.

Sets

A set is a collection of items that share the same bonus. Each item upgrader mod can be upgraded at least once. The upgrade item boosts the bonuses that are guaranteed. When you first upgrade an item or set piece will give it a +1 increase to its primary stat. After subsequent upgrades, the primary stats will be boosted a bit more (for example, +1 to 12+/13+/14+), and each time you upgrade the item it will have one of its additional stats will be increased randomly.

Upgrades can also boost a weapon's damage base. This could be crucial for certain types of builds. However, weapons cannot be upgraded to have a higher defense base than their normal base. It is possible to increase the value of specific sets and unique items by upgrading them, however they may not always be superior to a higher-level Runeword.

If you are upgrading an item with an added bonus, the item can be rerolled a single time, and its guarantee will reset to 0. The same power die is used to reroll an item, just as it would be used to increase its level. However, the new item has different bonuses. Upgrading can be done by visiting the NPC [Armor] Boboko in Central Flarine. To upgrade an item, you will require the proper 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 using Gold. The NPC will also give a special reward for each completed tier of the upgrade process. This reward can be rerolled a single time using the same materials as the original item.

Rerolling

If the player has enough to reroll tokens, they are able to reroll any item that they have acquired during the game. When an upgraded item gets rerolled, it will be exchanged for an equivalent level 1 version of the same item in another set. Reroll tokens can be purchased in the shop for a small sum of in-game currency. They are non-refundable. The upgraded item will have the same benefits of the previous one, but its stats will differ as well.

Players can change the identity of equipment in addition to rerolling it by interacting with an NPC upgrader. This will change the identity from an armor to a weapon or vice versa, all the while retaining its base stats and the attributes it requires. The change is permanent and will affect all characters who own the gear in question.

The player can also upgrade the item level for any equipment that is equipped. This is accomplished by talking to an upgrader NPC, and then obtaining upgrade item items. The cost will vary depending on the upgrade track, item type and the number of crests. In the case of weapons, each upgrade will add an additional 5percent to the damage.

Upgrading an item can make it more powerful, but it will reduce its effectiveness. It is therefore important to strike a balance between the two. Some items may not be worth upgrading and some will require to be upgraded in order to maximize their potential. For example one player might decide to upgrade a piece of breakpoint armor that comes with an interesting modifier ( percent chance of blocking or FHR) 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 get a specific weapon or character that they can't otherwise obtain. These items can be costly and time-consuming to acquire, and the RNG does not always work in a positive way. The only options left are to invest real money or grind for a long time. This is why rerolling is a very popular option in Genshin Impact.

Leveling

You can select whether to upgrade the weapon or armor when upgrading an item. This feature is not available in the current version of the game. I believe that this feature was designed to increase the value of rare and expensive items. However, since the majority of equipment is replaced quickly, and it can only be upgraded one level, you'll generally replace it before it becomes too old. It's also not worthwhile to upgrade items with gem sockets since the value of the gem will be greater than the increased ilvl that comes with the upgrade.

You will see a small box when you click the upgrade option on an item. It will show the item's template, the crest, and the cost of Valorstone to increase the item level. Weapons and armor will have different costs, with the latter typically being more costly. The upgrade template outlines the stats that will be added to the upgraded item and will also list its current base ilvl.

The cost of the Valorstone and crest is calculated using the current Ilvl of the item and the upgrade templates. The ilvl is also reduced by the upgrade templates reduction percentage for lvl. For example, an upgrade of 8% will reduce the weapon's ilvl by 8 to 8%.

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

The amount of defense and damage the item will receive when it is leveled can be shown below the upgrade cost and decrease percentages in the upgrade template window. Aside from practice equipment, all other armor and weapons gain the same stats once leveled up. The value of these stats will be dictated by the market, with a perfectly rolled version of a weapon or piece of armor can command significantly more trade value than non-upp'd versions. This is also true for other pieces of armor, like tiaras or circlets.
