So You ve Bought Item Upgrading ... Now What

Path of Exile Item Upgrading

The best method to upgrade your gear in Path of Exile is through upgrade of your items. This allows you to enhance your gear without having to rely on expensive drops or trades. This article will show you how to upgrade your gear.

Upgrades in equipment can add an increase to the item's base stats. This bonus scales with the upgrade component's level and rarity.

Components

upgrade items components are the parts that can make your weapons and armor better. They can be found by destroying enemies, purchasing them from karma vendors, or finding them in item-spheres. You can also salvage them from equipment that has the components or through high-tier salvage kits such as Black Lion Salvage Kit and Ascended Salvage Tool. Contrary to other products, upgrade components are not destroyed when removed from an item.

Upgrade components are primarily used to improve an item however, they can also be used for other purposes. They can be stacked in order to boost the level or experience gained from upgrading existing equipment or weapons. They can be forged for extra bonuses. A glyph that is crafted can boost the upgrade chances of its target while a boost upgrade increases the attack or defense attributes of a weapon.

You can connect an upgrade template to an item by selecting it from the edition GUI. It will display a list of upgrade components that the item can be upgraded to. Alternately, you can make use of the workbench to choose an upgrade template. In either instance, the item will be upgraded once enough upgrade components are gathered.

Each component has its own experience multiplier. This determines the amount of experience an item will gain when upgraded with that component. Organic components, like have more experience multipliers than mechanical components. It is therefore best to upgrade with organic components until you have reached the multiplier of experience for the next level of the weapon or gear, and then change to mechanical upgrades.

In addition to the experience multiplier Each item also comes with an maximum number of upgrades that it can receive. The number of items that are upgradeable is determined by their upgradeable rank and the type of upgrade they are able to receive. For instance, the highest possible weapon upgrade is a tier 10 weapon. The most popular weapon upgrade is a tier 6 gun and 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 once and the upgrade increases its guaranteed bonuses. The first time you upgrade an item, its initial stat will be +1. In subsequent upgrades the primary stats will be increased a bit more (for example, +1 to 12+/13+/14+), and each time you upgrade the item with an additional stats is increased randomly.

Upgrading a weapon can also increase the damage base, which could be necessary for certain builds. However, weapons can't be upgraded to a higher defense level than their regular base. Upgrades can be a great way to improve the value of some set and unique items, but it is important to keep in mind that they may not be more effective than a high-level raneword in any build.

If you are upgrading an item that comes with bonuses the item can be rerolled one time, and its guarantee will reset to 0. The same amount of power die is used to reroll an item, just as it would be used to increase its level. However the new item comes with 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 as well as a power dice of each kind. These can be bought with Gold at the crafting table, or in the Ultra Collection. The NPC will also give an additional reward for each completed tier of the upgrade process. This 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. 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 can be purchased from the store for small amounts of in-game currency. However, they are not refundable. The new upgraded item will have the same benefits of the previous one however, its stats will be different also.

Players can alter the identification of their equipment as well as rerolling it by interacting with an NPC upgrader. The equipment's identification will change from a weapon to an armor or reverse the process. Its base stats and requirements remain the same. The change is permanent and will affect all characters that have the gear in question.

The player can also upgrade their level of the item for any equipment that is equipped. This is accomplished by engaging with an upgrader NPC and getting upgrade components. It will cost a specific amount of crests as well as Valorstones according to the upgrade items track and kind. Each step will give an additional 5% of damage to weapons.

An upgrade will make it more powerful, but it will reduce its effectiveness. Therefore, it is important to keep both in check. Certain items might not be worth upgrading at all however, others will need to be upgraded to realize their potential. For example, a player might wish to upgrade a piece of breakpoint armor that comes with an interesting modifier ( percent chance of blocking or FHR) to explore the possibilities of what it can be.

The primary reason people play rerolls in Genshin Impact, or in any gacha-based game, is because they're trying to get a specific character or weapon that they can't otherwise obtain. The process of obtaining these items can be costly and time-consuming, and the RNG gods don't always want to play ball. The only options are to invest real money or grind for a long time. Rerolling is extremely popular 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 it was meant to to add value to rare items, but since equipment generally drops quickly and can only be upgraded one level up and you'll typically replace the item before it becomes too old. It's also not worthwhile to upgrade items with gem sockets because the power of the gem will outweigh the increased ilvl that comes with the upgrade.

When you click the upgrade item button on an item, you will get a small screen with the item's upgrade template and the cost of crest and Valorstone to increase the item level. The cost will differ between armor and weapons, with the former usually costing more than the latter. The upgrade template outlines the stats to be added to an upgraded item, as well as its current 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 decreased by the upgrade templates lvl reduction percentage. For example weapons with an increase of 8% will reduce its count by 8-8 percent.

In addition to the increase in ilvl base it will also be upgraded in other stats such as critical strike damage, PvE damage and block, parry and dodge rating. The increases are also dependent on the upgrade template.

In the upgrade template, you can check the amount of damage or defense an item level upgrade will suffer when it is upgraded. This is shown below the cost as well as the upgrade percentages. All weapons and armor, except practice equipment, get these stats when they level up. The value of these stats will be dictated by the market, with a perfectly rolled perfect version of a piece of armor or weapon can command significantly more in trade value than unupp'd versions. The same is true for other pieces of armor like circlets and Tiaras.
