Buzzwords De-Buzzed: 10 More Methods To Say Item Upgrading

Path of Exile Item Upgrading

In Path of Exile, item upgrading is among the most effective ways to upgrade your equipment without relying on massive drops or trade. This article will help you understand how to upgrade your gear.

Upgrades to equipment provide an increase to the item's base stats. The bonus increases with upgrade component's level and rarity.

Components

Upgrade components make your weapons and armour better. You can locate them by destroying enemies, purchasing them from karma vendors or finding them in the form of item-spheres. They can also be rescued from equipment that has them or by using the highest-quality salvage kits like the Black Lion Salvage Kit or Ascended Salvage Tool. Contrary to other products upgrade components, upgrade components aren't destroyed when they are removed from an item.

Upgrade components are typically used to upgrade an item, however, they can also be used for other reasons. They can be stacked 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 gear. They can be forged for additional benefits. For example, a crafted glyph will boost the chance of upgrading its target, and a boost upgrade will increase the attack or defense property of a weapon, or armor.

By selecting an upgrade template from the GUI will let you bind it to an item. It will display the list of upgrade components that the item can be upgraded to. You can also use the workbench when selecting an upgrade template. In either case, an item will be upgraded after enough upgrade components have been collected.

Each component is assigned an experience multiplier. This determines the amount of experience an item can gain when upgraded with that component. Organic components, for example have an increased multiplier of experience than mechanical components. Therefore, it is recommended to upgrade using organic components until you have reached the experience multiplier for the next rank of weapon or gear, and then switch to mechanical upgrades.

Each item has an upgrade limit number that can be received. The number of upgradeable items is determined by their upgradeable rank, and the kind of upgrade they can receive. The highest upgrade possible is a weapon of tier 10. However, the most popular upgrade for weapons is a tier 6 weapon and an armor upgrade of tier 5.

Sets

A set is a group of items that have the benefit of. Each item in the set can be upgraded at least once, and the upgrade will increase its guaranteed bonuses. The first time you upgrade an item or set piece will give it an increase of +1 to its primary stat. Following upgrades, the primary stats will be boosted even further (for instance the +1 bonus for 12+/13+/14+) and each time an item is upgraded one of its stats will increase randomly.

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

If you're upgrading an item that has a bonus, the item can be rerolled once, and its guarantee will reset back to zero. The same power dies are used to roll an item, just as it is used to increase its level. However the new item upgrade comes with different 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. These are available at the crafting table or the Ultra Collector, and can be purchased using Gold. The NPC will also give an extra reward for every tier that is completed of the upgrade process. This reward can be rerolled a second time, and the reroll will use the same materials as the first item.

Rerolling

A player is able to play rerolling any item that they acquire in the game if they have enough reroll tokens to do so. If an upgraded item is to be rerolled, it will be exchanged for a version at a 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 item upgraded will have the same bonuses of the first however, its stats will differ too.

In addition to rerolling objects, players can also alter the identification of any equipment by interacting with an upgrader NPC. This will change the identification from a weapon to armor or vice versa, while keeping its basic stats and attributes that are required. The change is permanent and will affect all characters that own the gear in question.

The player can also upgrade item their item level for any equipment that is equipped. This can be done by engaging with an upgrader NPC and getting Upgrade Item items. The cost will differ based on the upgrade track, item type, and the number of crests. Each step will give 5% more damage to weapons.

Upgrades can boost the power of an item, but they also decrease its quality. It is therefore important to keep both in check. Some items may not be worth upgrading at all and some will require to be upgraded to reach their potential. A player may want to upgrade their breakpoint armor using an interesting modification ( percent block chance, or FHR) to explore what else it can become.

The primary reason people are able to 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 time-consuming and expensive to obtain, and the RNG isn't always a good fit. The only alternative is to spend real money or grind for a long time. Rerolling is very popular in Genshin Impact.

Leveling

When upgrading an item, you can pick to level up the weapon or armor. However, this feature does absolutely nothing in the current game. I believe it was designed to be a way to give some value to rare items, but since gear in general drops fairly quickly and is only upgraded one level up and you'll typically replace the item before it becomes old enough. It's not worth it to upgrade items with gem sockets as the power of the gem will be greater than the increase in ilvl with the upgrade.

If you click the upgrade option on an item, you'll get a small screen with the upgrade template of the item as well as the cost of Valorstone and crest to increase the item level. The cost will differ between armor and weapons and the latter typically costing more than the latter. The upgrade template shows the stats that will be added to the upgraded item. It it also lists the current ilvl.

The cost of the Valorstone and Crest is calculated using the current Ilvl of the item as well as the upgrade templates. Additionally, the ilvl of the new upgraded item will be reduced by the upgrade template's lvl decrease percentage. For instance the weapon that has an 8% upgrade decrease will decrease its ilvl by 8 - 8%.

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

In the upgrade template you can determine the amount of damage or defense the item will be able to sustain after it is leveled up. This is displayed below the cost and the upgrade percentages. In addition to equipment for practice, all weapons and armor gain these same stats when leveled up. The value of these additional stats will be dictated by the market, with a rolled perfect version of a piece of armor or weapon is able to command higher trade values than non-upp'd versions. The same applies to other pieces of armor like tiaras and circlets.
