Buzzwords De-Buzzed: 10 Other Ways To Say Item Upgrading
Path of Exile Item Upgrading
The best way to improve your gear in Path of Exile is through upgrading your items. This lets you upgrade your gear without having rely on expensive trades or drops. This article will show you how to upgrade your items.
Upgrades to equipment grant an additional bonus to the item's stats. This bonus scales according to the rarity and strength of the upgrade component.
Components
Upgrade components are the things that can make your weapons and armor more effective. You can locate them by destroying enemies, purchasing them from karma vendors or finding them in items-spheres. You can also get them from equipment that contains the components or by using high-tier salvage kits such as Black Lion Salvage Kit and Ascended Salvage Tool. Unlike most other items upgrades aren't destroyed when removed from an item.
The primary function of upgrade components is to enable an item to be upgraded however, they also serve other purposes. They can be used to increase the quality of an upgradeable item, or they can be used to enhance the experience gained when upgrading an existing weapon or piece of gear. They can also be made to offer additional benefits. For instance, a specially created glyph can increase the chances of upgrading its target, whereas the boost upgrade can enhance the defense or attack quality of a weapon or armor.
You can bind an upgrade template to an item by selecting it from the edition GUI. This will show the upgrade components to which the item can be updated. You can also use the workbench when selecting an upgrade item template. In either instance, the item upgrader mod will be upgraded when enough upgrade components have been collected.
Each component has a unique experience multiplier. This determines the amount of experience an item gains when upgraded using the component. Organic components, for example, have more experience multipliers than mechanical components. Therefore, it is recommended to upgrade using organic components until you have reached the experience multiplier for the next level of the equipment or weapon, and then switch to mechanical upgrades.
Each item has an upgrade maximum number that it is possible to receive. The number of items that can be upgraded is determined by their upgradeable rank, and the kind of upgrade they are able to receive. For instance, the highest possible upgrade for a weapon is a weapon of tier 10. However, the most popular upgrades for weapons are an tier 6 weapon as well as an armor upgrade of tier 5.
Sets
A set is a set of items that share the same bonus. Each item can be upgraded at least once. The upgrade boosts the guaranteed bonuses. The first time you upgrade an item, its initial stat will be +1. In subsequent upgrades the stats of the primary one will be boosted a little further (for example, +1 up to 12+/13+/14+) Every time you upgrade the item it will have one of its additional stats is boosted randomly.
Upgrades can also increase the base damage of a weapon. This can be crucial for certain builds. Weapons aren't upgraded to give greater maximum defence rolls than their base. Upgrades can be a great way to improve the value of certain sets and unique items, however it is important to keep in mind that they're not necessarily more effective than a high-level raneword in any build.
If you are upgrading an item that has a bonus it can be rerolled once and the guarantee will reset back to 0. The same amount of power die is used to roll an item, just as it would be 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 a power die of each kind (Dice 4 or 6 drop from monsters 21+ and Giants; dice 7 drops from bosses) and the appropriate amount of Minerals and Erons. They can be purchased with Gold at the crafting table or in the Ultra Collection. The NPCs will also offer special rewards for each completed stage of the upgrade process. This reward can be rerolled a single time using the same materials as original item.
Rerolling
A player is able to roll any item they have acquired during the game, provided they have enough reroll tokens to be able to do so. When an upgraded item gets being rerolled, it can be exchanged for the version at a level 1 of the same item in a different set. Reroll tokens can be bought at the store for a small amount of in-game currency, but they aren't refundable. The new item upgraded will still have the extra bonuses of the original one however, its stats will be different as well.
Players can alter the identification of equipment in addition to rolling it again by interacting with a NPC upgrader. The equipment's identification will change from a weapons to armor or reverse it. The base stats and requirements remain the same. The change will last for a long time and affect all characters who have the gear.
Players can also boost the level of their item on any equipped device by obtaining upgrade components and interacting with the item's upgrader NPC. This will cost a certain amount of crests and Valorstones depending on the upgrade track and item kind. For weapons, each step up will add 5percent to the damage.
Upgrading an item can boost its power, but it will also decrease its quality. It is therefore important to keep both in check. Some items aren't worth upgrading, while others require upgrading to reach their full potential. For example one player might wish to upgrade a piece breakpoint armor that comes with an interesting modifier ( percent chance of blocking or FHR) to explore the possibilities of what it can become.
Rerolling is a standard practice in Genshin Impact and other gacha-based games. People do it in order to get a character or weapon they would not otherwise be able to acquire. The process of obtaining these items can be expensive and time-consuming and the RNG gods don't always want to play ball. The only choices left are to spend real cash or grind for a long time. Rerolling is very popular in Genshin Impact.
Leveling
You can choose whether to upgrade the weapon or armor when upgrading an item. But, this feature does absolutely nothing in the current game. I think this feature was intended to increase the value of rare and expensive items. However, as most items are replaced quite quickly, and can only be upgraded by one level, you will typically replace it before it becomes too old. It's not worth it to upgrade items with gem sockets because the power of the gem will far outweigh the increase in ilvl with the upgrade.
You will see a small window when you click the upgrade option for an item. It will show the template of the item, the Crest, as well as the Valorstone cost to raise the item's level. Armor and weapons have different prices, with the latter typically being more costly. The upgrade template shows the statistics that will be added to the upgraded item level upgrade and also lists its current base ilvl.
The crest and Valorstone costs are calculated based on the item's current ilvl and the upgrade template. The ilvl is also reduced by the upgrade template's lvl reduction percentage. For example weapons with an upgrade decrease of 8% will decrease its ilvl by 8 - 8%.
The item will be upgraded to other stats, such as critical strike damage, PvE damages and block, parry, and dodge rating in addition to the base level. These upgrades are also based on the upgrade template.
The amount of damage and defense that the item will receive as it gets leveled up can be observed below the upgrade cost and decrease percentages in the upgrade template window. All weapons and armor apart from practice equipment get these stats once they've been leveled up. The value of these stats will be determined by the market, with a perfectly rolled piece of armor or weapon is able to command higher trade values than non-upp'd versions. This is also true for other armor pieces such as circlets or Tiaras.
