Path of Exile Item Upgrading
The best method to improve your equipment in Path of Exile is through upgrading your items. This lets you improve it without having to depend on costly drops or trades. This article will show you how to upgrade your items.
Upgrading equipment grants an increase to the item's base stats. This bonus scales based on the rarity and level of the upgrade component.
Components
Upgrade components can make your weapons and armour better. You can find them through destroying enemies, buying them from karma vendors, or finding them in item-spheres. You can also get them from equipment containing the components, or by utilizing high-end salvage kits like Black Lion Salvage Kit and Ascended Salvage Tool. Unlike most other items, upgrade components are not destroyed when they are removed from an item.
Upgrade components are mostly used to upgrade an item, however, they can also be used for other reasons. They can be used to increase the quality 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 also be made to provide extra bonuses. A glyph that is crafted can boost the chances of upgrading its target, while boost upgrades increase the attack or defense attributes of a weapon.
Selecting an upgrade template from the GUI will let you bind it to an item. This will show the upgrade components that the item can be updated. 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 has its own experience multiplier that affects how much more experience an item receives when it is upgraded by the component. For instance, organic components give an experience multiplier that is higher than mechanical ones. You should upgrade your organic components first until you reach the next rank in the weapon or equipment, and then switch to the mechanical upgrades.
Each item has an upgrade maximum number that can be received. The number of upgradeable items is determined by their upgradeable rank and the kind of upgrade they can receive. For example, the highest possible upgrade for a weapon is a tier 10 weapon. The most commonly used upgrade is a gun with tier 6 and an armor upgrade for tier 5.
Sets
A set is a collection of items which share bonuses. Each item can be upgraded at minimum once. The upgrade increases the bonuses that are guaranteed. The first time you upgrade an item, its initial stat will be +1. After subsequent upgrades, the primary stats will be enhanced even more (for instance +1 for 12+/13+/14+) and each time an item is upgraded, one of its additional stats is increased randomly.
Upgrades can also boost the base damage of a weapon. This could be crucial for certain types of builds. However, weapons cannot be upgraded to a higher defense base than their base. It is a good way to improve the value of a set and unique items, but it is important to keep in mind that they might not be better than a high-level runeword in any build.
If you're upgrading an item with a bonus it can be rerolled a single time and the guarantee will reset to 0. The same amount of power die is used to roll an item as it would be to increase its level. However, the new item has different bonuses. Upgrades can be completed by visiting the NPC [Armorthe ] 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 kind. These can be purchased with Gold at the crafting table, or in the Ultra Collection. item upgrade will also offer special rewards for each completed stage of the upgrade process. This reward can be rerolled once and the reroll will use the same materials used in the original item.
Rerolling
A player can play rerolling any item that they acquire in the game provided they have enough tokens to do so. When an item is rerolled it will be replaced with the same level in another set. Reroll tokens are available from the store for small amounts of in-game currency. However, they aren't refundable. The new item will offer the same bonuses like the first, however the stats will also be different.
In addition to rerolling objects, players can also change the identity of any equipment by interacting with an upgrader NPC. This will change the identification as a weapon to armor, or reverse it. The base stats and requirements will remain the same. The change will be permanent and will affect all characters who have the gear.
The player can also upgrade the level of an item for any equipment that is equipped. This is accomplished by engaging with an upgrader NPC and obtaining upgrade components. It will cost a specific number of crests and Valorstones depending on the upgrade track and the item type. Each upgrade will add an additional 5% of damage to weapons.
Upgrades can boost the power of an item, but they also decrease its quality. It is therefore essential to strike a balance between the two. Some items are not worth upgrading, while others need to be upgraded to reach their full potential. One player may wish to upgrade breakpoint armor with an interesting modifier ( percent block chance, or FHR) to see what else it can be.
The primary reason people play rerolls in Genshin Impact, or in any gacha-based game is that they're trying to get a specific character or weapon that they can't otherwise obtain. The process of obtaining these items can be expensive and time-consuming and the RNG gods aren't always willing to play. The only options left is to shell out real money or grind lots. Rerolling is a very popular option in Genshin Impact.
Leveling
You can choose whether to upgrade the weapon or armor after upgrading an item. However, this feature does absolutely nothing in the current game. I believe that this feature was designed to increase the value of expensive and rare items. However, as most items are replaced quite quickly, and can only be upgraded to a certain level, you will typically replace it before it is too old. It's not worth upgrading items using gem sockets, as the power of the gem will outweigh any increase in the level of.
When you click on the upgrade option on an item, you'll see a small window with the upgrade template of the item as well as the crest and Valorstone costs 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 outlines the stats that can be added to an upgraded item as well as its current ilvl.
The crest and Valorstone costs are calculated based on the current ilvl of the item and the upgrade template. In addition, the ilvl of the new upgraded item will be reduced by the template's lvl reduction percentage. For example weapons with an 8% upgrade decrease will decrease its count by 8-8 percent.
The item will get upgrades to other stats, such as critical strike damage, PvE damages, and block, parry, and dodge rating, in addition to the base ilvl. These increases are dependent on the upgrade template.
In the upgrade template, you can see the amount of damage or defense an item will suffer when it is upgraded. This is displayed below the cost and upgrade percentages. All weapons and armor apart from practice equipment gain these stats upon leveling up. The market will determine the value of these stats. A weapon or armor with perfect rolls can fetch more than a non-upp’d version. Similar is the case for other pieces of armor, like tiaras or circlets.
