This Is The Ultimate Guide To Item Upgrading

Path of Exile Item Upgrading

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

Upgrades to equipment give an increase in the item's stats. The amount of bonus varies according to the rarity and quality of the upgrade component.

Components

Upgrade components can make your weapons and armour better. You can get them from the destruction of enemies, finding them in spheres of items or buying them from karma merchants. They can also be salvaged from equipment that has them or by using an advanced salvage kit like the Black Lion Salvage Kit or Ascended Salvage Tool. Upgrade components aren't destroyed when you remove them from the item.

The primary function of upgrade components is to allow an item to be upgraded, but they also serve other purposes. They can be stacked in order to increase the level of experience gained by upgrading existing equipment or weapons. They can also be forged to give additional bonuses. For example, a created glyph can increase the chances of upgrading its target, whereas a boost upgrade will increase the attack or defense quality of a weapon or armor.

Selecting an upgrade template in the GUI will allow you to bind it to an item. This will display the upgrade components to which the item can be updated. You can also use the workbench to select an upgrade template. In either instance the item will be upgraded once enough upgrade components have been collected.

Each component has a different experience multiplier, which affects the amount of experience an item will gain when it is upgraded by the component. For instance, organic components offer more experience multipliers than mechanical ones. It is recommended to upgrade your organic components first until you reach the next level in the weapon or equipment and then switch to the mechanical upgrades.

In addition to the multiplier of experience every item also has a maximum number of upgrades it can receive. The number of upgrades is determined by its upgradeable rank and the upgrade type of the upgradeable item. The highest level of upgrade is a weapon of 10th level. However, the most commonly used upgrades for weapons are an tier 6 weapon as well as a tier 5 armor upgrade.

Sets

A set is a collection of items that share the same bonus. Each item in the set can be upgraded at least once, and the upgrade increases the guaranteed bonuses. When you first upgrade an item, its primary stat will be +1. After subsequent upgrades, the primary stats 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 boost the base damage of a weapon. This can be crucial for certain types of weapons. However, weapons are not upgraded to a higher maximum defense roll than their normal base. Upgrading can be a good method to increase the value of some set and unique items, but it's important to remember that they might not be superior to a high-level runeword in any build.

If the item you're upgrading has a guarantee bonus that is guaranteed, it can be rerolled only once, and then its guarantee will be reset to zero. Rerolling costs the same amount of power dice as leveling an item, but the new item will have various 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 type. These are available at the crafting table or in the Ultra Collector, and can be purchased with Gold. The NPC will also provide a special reward for each completed tier of the upgrade process. This reward can be rerolled one time, using the same materials as original item.

Rerolling

If a player has enough rerolling tokens, they can roll 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 in the shop for a small amount of in-game currency. They are non-refundable. The new item will come with the same extra bonuses as the original, but the stats will differ.

Players can alter the identification of their equipment as well as rerolling it by interacting with a NPC upgrader. This will change its identification from a weapons to armor, or reverse the process. The base stats and requirements remain the same.  upgrade item  will be permanent and affect all characters who have the gear.

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

The upgrade of an item can boost its power, but it will also lower its quality. It is therefore important to balance the two. Certain items aren't worth upgrading, while other items need to be upgraded to make them more effective. A player may want to upgrade the breakpoint armor by adding an interesting modification ( percent block chance, or FHR) in order to explore what else it can be.

The main reason people reroll in Genshin Impact, or in any gacha-based game, is because they are trying to acquire a certain character or weapon that they wouldn't otherwise be able to acquire. These items can be costly and time-consuming to acquire, and the RNG isn't always a good fit. The only other options are to spend real money or grind a lot. For this reason, rerolling is a popular option in Genshin Impact.

Leveling

When upgrading an item you can pick to upgrade the weapon or armor. This feature isn't available in the current version of the game. I believe it was designed to be a way to increase the value of rare items, but because gear in general drops fairly quickly and is only upgraded after a certain amount of levels, you'll usually replace the item before it becomes too old. It's not worth upgrading items with gem sockets, as the power of the stone will outweigh any increase in ilvl.

If you click the upgrade button on an item, you'll get a small screen with the upgrade template for the item and the cost of crest and Valorstone to boost the level of the item. Weapons and armor will have different costs, with the latter usually being more expensive. The upgrade template lists the stats that will be added to the upgraded item. It it also lists the current base ilvl.

item upgrader  of the Valorstone and crest is calculated using the current Ilvl of the item and the upgrade templates. The ilvl is also reduced by the upgrade templates reduction percentage for lvl. For example weapons with an upgrade decrease of 8% will decrease its count by 8-8%.

The item will be upgraded to other stats like critical strike damage, PvE damage and block, parry and dodge rating in addition to the base level. These increases are built on the upgrade template.

In the upgrade template you can determine the amount of damage or defense the item will receive after being leveled up. This is displayed below the cost and upgrade percentages. In addition to practice equipment, all weapons and armor gain the same stats once upgraded. The value of these stats will be dictated by the market, with a rolled perfect version of a weapon or piece of armor able to command much more in trade value than unupp'd versions. Similar is the case for other pieces of armor, such as tiaras and circlets.
