Path of Exile Item Upgrading
The best method to improve your equipment in Path of Exile is through item upgrade s. This lets you improve it without having to depend on costly drops or trades. This article will help you understand how to upgrade your gear.
Upgrades to equipment grant an additional bonus to the item's stats. The bonus is based on the rarity and quality of the upgrade component.
Components
Upgrade components can make your armour and weapons better. You can get them from destroying enemies, finding them in item spheres, or purchasing them from karma sellers. They can also be rescued from equipment that contains them, or through a high-tier salvage kit such as 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 mostly used to improve an item however, they can also be used for other reasons. They can be stacked to boost the level or the amount of experience gained by upgrading equipment or weapons. They can be forged to give additional bonuses. For instance, a specially designed glyph will increase the upgrade chance of its target, and an upgrade boost will boost the defense or attack property of a weapon, or armor.
You can connect an upgrade template to an item by selecting it from the edition GUI. This will display the list of upgrade components that the item can be upgraded to. You can also use the workbench for selecting an upgrade template. In either case, the item will be upgraded when enough upgrade components have been gathered.
Each component is assigned an experience multiplier. This determines the amount of experience an item gains when upgraded using the component. Organic components, for example have an increased multiplier of experience than mechanical components. It is therefore best to upgrade with organic components until you have reached the experience multiplier of the next rank of the equipment or weapon, and then move to mechanical upgrades.
Each item has an upgrade limit number that can be received. The number of items that are upgradeable is determined by their upgradeable rank, and the kind of upgrade they can receive. The most powerful upgrade is a weapon with 10th level. However, the most common upgrade for weapons is the tier 6 weapon and a tier 5 armor upgrade.
Sets
A set is a set of items that share the same bonus. Each item in the set can be upgraded at least one time, and each upgrade boosts the amount of bonuses that are guaranteed. When you first upgrade an item, its primary stat will be +1. After subsequent upgrades, the primary stats will be boosted a bit further (for example, +1 up to 12+/13+/14+) Each time you upgrade the item it will have one of its additional stats is boosted randomly.
Upgrades can also increase the damage base of a weapon. This may be important for certain builds. Weapons aren't upgraded to give greater maximum defence rolls than their base. It is possible to increase the value of certain sets and unique items by upgrading them, however they might not always be superior to a higher-level Runeword.
If an item you're upgrading has a guaranteed bonus that is guaranteed, it can be rerolled once, and then its guarantee will be reset to zero. Rerolling costs the same amount of power dice as leveling an item up, but the new item will have various bonuses. Upgrades can be made through the NPC [Armor] Boboko in Central Flarine. To upgrade an item, you will need the appropriate amount Minerals and Erons as well as a power dice of each type. These can be purchased by using Gold at the crafting table or in the Ultra Collection. NPCs will also provide special rewards for each level of the upgrade process. This reward can be rerolled one time with the same materials and components as the first item.
Rerolling
A player can play rerolling any item that they acquire during the game, provided they have enough reroll tokens to be able to do so. If an item is rerolled, it will be replaced with a level 1 version in another set. Reroll tokens are available at the store for a small amount of in-game currency. They are not refundable. The new item will have the same bonuses as the original, but the statistics will also be different.
Players can alter the identification of equipment in addition to rerolling it by interacting with a NPC upgrader. This will change the identity from an armor to a weapon or vice versa, while keeping its basic stats and required attributes. The change is permanent and will affect all characters that are wearing the gear.
Players can also increase the level of their item on any equipped equipment by obtaining upgrade items and conversing with the upgrader NPC of the item. It will cost a specific amount of crests as well as Valorstones according to the upgrade track and the item kind. Each step will give 5% more damage to weapons.
Upgrading an item can make it more powerful however, it can reduce its effectiveness. Therefore, it is important to find a balance between the two. Certain items might not be worth upgrading at all and some will require to be upgraded in order to maximize their potential. For example one player might want to upgrade a piece breakpoint armor with an interesting modifier ( percent chance of blocking or FHR) to explore the possibilities of what it can be.
The primary reason people are able to reroll in Genshin Impact, or in any gacha-based game, is because they're trying to acquire a certain 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. The only options are to invest real money or grind lots. Rerolling is a popular option in Genshin Impact.
Leveling
When upgrading an item, you can level up the weapon or armor. This feature is not available in the current version of the game. I believe it was intended to to give some value to rare items, but as the majority of gear drops quickly and can only be upgraded one level up, you'll usually replace the item before it becomes old enough. It's also not worthwhile to upgrade items that have gem sockets as the power of the gem will far outweigh the higher ilvl that comes with the upgrade.
You will see a small window when you click on the upgrade option on an item. It will show the item's template, the crest, and the cost of Valorstone to increase the item's level. The costs will vary between weapons and armor as well, with the former typically costing more than the latter. The upgrade template outlines the stats that can be added to an upgraded item and also the current ilvl.
The cost of the Valorstone and Crest is calculated using the current Ilvl of the item and the upgrade templates. The ilvl will also be decreased by the upgrade templates reduction percentage for lvl. For instance an upgrade of 8% will reduce the ilvl of a weapon by 8 to 88%.
In addition to the base ilvl boost, the item will also get upgrades in other stats like critical strike damage, damage from PvE and block, parry and dodge rating. These enhancements are also based on the upgrade template.
The amount of defense and damage the item is able to receive when 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 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 armor pieces, such as circlets and tiaras.
