Path of Exile Item Upgrading
The best method to upgrade your equipment in Path of Exile is through upgrade of your items. This allows you to improve it without having to rely on expensive drops or trades. This article will teach you how to upgrade your items.
Upgrades in equipment can add an additional bonus to the item's base stats. The bonus is depending on the rarity and quality of the upgrade component.
Components
Upgrade components can make your weapons and armour better. They can be found by destroying enemies, purchasing them from karma vendors or finding them in the form of item-spheres. You can also salvage them from equipment that has the components or by using salvage kits of high-end quality, such as Black Lion Salvage Kit and Ascended Salvage Tool. Contrary to other products, upgrade components are not destroyed when removed from an item.
item upgrade are mostly used to upgrade an item, however, they can also be used for other purposes. They can be stacked to increase the level of an item that can be upgraded or they can be used to increase the experience gained by upgrading an existing weapon or piece of equipment. They can be forged to give additional bonuses. A crafted glyph can increase the chances of upgrading its target, and boost upgrades increase the attack or defense attributes of weapons.
Selecting an upgrade template in the GUI will allow you to bind it to an item. This will show the upgrade components that the item can be updated. You can also use the workbench for selecting an upgrade template. In either scenario, an item will be upgraded after enough upgrade components have been gathered.
Each component has a unique experience multiplier. This determines the amount of experience an item will gain when upgraded using that component. Organic components, for instance have more experience multipliers than mechanical components. It is therefore recommended to upgrade using organic components until you reach the multiplier of experience for the next rank of equipment or weapon, and then change to mechanical upgrades.
In addition to the experience multiplier, each item also has an maximum number of upgrades it can receive. The number of upgrades are determined by the rank that can be upgraded and the type of upgrade for the upgradeable item. For instance, the highest possible upgrade for a weapon is a tier 10 weapon. The most popular weapon upgrade is a gun with tier 6 and a armor upgrade of tier 5.
Sets
A set is a collection of objects which all have the same bonus. Each item in the set can be upgraded at least one time, and the upgrade will increase its guaranteed bonuses. When you first upgrade an item, its initial stat will be +1. After subsequent upgrades, the primary stats will be increased even more (for instance +1 for 12+/13+/14+) and every time an item is upgraded, one of its stats will increase randomly.
Upgrades can also increase a weapon's damage base. This could be crucial for certain types of builds. However, weapons are not upgraded to have a higher defense base than their regular base. It is possible to increase the value of certain sets and unique items by upgrading them, but they may not always be better than a Runeword with a high level.
If an item you're upgrading comes with a guaranteed bonus that is guaranteed, it can be rerolled only once and its guarantee will reset to 0. Rerolling costs the same amount of power dice as the process of leveling an item up, but the upgraded item will come with additional bonuses. Upgrades can be made at the NPC [Armorthe ] Boboko in Central Flarine. To upgrade an item, you will require a power die of each kind (Dice 4 or 6 drop from monsters 21+ and Giants; Dice 7 drops from bosses) and the right amount of Minerals and Erons. These are available at the crafting table or in 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 as the first item.
Rerolling
If a player has enough rerolling tokens, they can play rerolling any item they've accumulated during the game. If an item is rerolled, it will be replaced with a level 1 version in another set. Reroll tokens can be purchased from the store for a small amount of in-game currency. However, they cannot be refunded. The new item will offer the same bonuses like the first, however the stats will also differ.
In addition to rerolling objects, players can also change the identity of any equipment by interfacing with an upgrader NPC. This will change the identification as a weapon to armor, or reverse it. Its base stats and requirements will remain the same. The change will last for a long time and affect all characters who have the equipment.
The player can also upgrade the level of the item for any equipped equipment. This is done by engaging with an upgrader NPC, and then obtaining upgrade components. This will cost a certain number of crests and Valorstones according to the upgrade track and kind. Each step will give 5percent more damage to weapons.
An upgrade can make it more powerful, but it will also decrease its quality. Therefore, it is important to find a balance between the two. Some items may not be worth upgrading at all and some will require to be upgraded in order to maximize their potential. One player may wish to upgrade the breakpoint armor by adding an interesting modifier (% block chance or FHR) in order to explore what else it can become.
The main reason people play rerolls in Genshin Impact, or in any gacha-based game, is because they're trying to get a specific weapon or character that they can't otherwise obtain. Getting these items can be expensive and time-consuming and the RNG gods do not always want to play ball. The only alternative is to invest money or grind for a long time. For this reason, rerolling is a very popular choice in Genshin Impact.
Leveling
When upgrading an item, you can choose to increase the level of the weapon or armor. This feature is not available in the current version of the game. I believe it was designed to to add value to rare items, but as the majority of gear drops quickly and can only be upgraded once you've reached a certain level and you'll typically replace the item before it becomes old enough. It's also not worth upgrading items using gem sockets, as the power of the gemstone will outweigh any increment in ilvl.
You will see a small window when you click on the upgrade option for an item. It will show the template for the item, its Crest, as well as the cost of Valorstone to increase the level of the item. Armor and weapons have different costs, with the latter typically being more costly. The upgrade template shows the statistics that will be added to the upgraded item. It will also list its current ilvl.
The Crest and Valorstone costs are calculated based on the current ilvl of the item and the upgrade template. Additionally, the ilvl of the new upgraded item will be decreased by the template's lvl decrease percentage. For instance the weapon that has an 8% upgrade decrease will decrease its count by 8-8%.
In addition to the base ilvl boost the item will also receive upgrades in other stats, such as critical strike damage, PvE damage, dodge, block and parry rating. Those increases are also based on the upgrade template.
In the upgrade template, you can check the amount of damage or defense the item will suffer when it is upgraded. This is listed below the cost as well as the upgrade percentages. All weapons and armor that are not practice equipment get these stats once they've been leveled up. The value of these additional stats will be determined by the market, with a perfectly rolled weapon or piece of armor can command significantly more trade value than non-upp'd versions. The same is true for other pieces of armor, such as circlets and Tiaras.
