Path of Exile Item Upgrading

The best method to improve your equipment in Path of Exile is through upgrading your items. This allows you to improve it without having to rely on expensive drops or trades. This article will show you how to upgrade your items effectively.

Upgrades in equipment can add a bonus to the item's base stats. The bonus increases with upgrade component level and rarity.

Components

Upgrade components are the items that make your weapons and armor more effective. You can find them by destroying enemies, purchasing them from karma vendors, or finding them in item-spheres. You can also salvage them from equipment that has the components or by using high-tier salvage kits such as Black Lion Salvage Kit and Ascended Salvage Tool. Upgrade components cannot be destroyed by removing them from the item.

The main function of upgrade components is to allow an item to be upgraded however, they also serve other purposes. They can be used to increase the level or the amount of experience gained by upgrading equipment or weapons. They can also be forged to offer additional benefits. A glyph that has been crafted can increase the upgrade chances of its target while a boost upgrade increases the attack or defense capabilities of a weapon.

You can bind an upgrade template to an item by selecting it from the edition GUI. This will display the upgrade components that the item can be updated. You can also utilize the workbench to select an upgrade template. In either case, the item will be upgraded when enough upgrade components have been collected.

Each component has its own experience multiplier, which affects the amount of experience an item will gain when it is upgraded with the component. Organic components, like have an increased multiplier of experience than mechanical components. Therefore, it is recommended to upgrade with organic components until you reach the experience multiplier for the next level of the weapon or gear, then switch to mechanical upgrades.

Each item comes with a maximum upgrade number that it is possible to receive. The number of items that can be upgraded is determined by their upgradeable rank and the type of upgrade they can get. The highest upgrade possible is a weapon of 10th level. However, the most common upgrade for weapons is the tier 6 weapon and an armor upgrade of tier 5.

Sets

A set is a group of items which share bonuses. Each item can be upgraded at the minimum once. The upgrade increases the amount of bonuses you can expect to receive. When you first upgrade an item, its primary stat will be +1. After subsequent upgrades, the primary stats will be boosted even further (for instance, +1 for 12+/13+/14+) and each time an item upgrader kit is upgraded, one of its additional stats increases randomly.

Upgrades can also increase a weapon's damage base. This can be crucial for certain types of builds. Weapons can't be upgraded for a higher maximum defence roll than their base. Upgrading can be a good way to improve the value of some set and unique items, however it's important to remember that they might not be better than a high-level runeword in any build.

If you are upgrading an item with an added bonus, the item can be rerolled one time and the guarantee will reset to 0. Rerolling is the same amount of power dice as the process of leveling an item up, but the upgraded item will come with additional bonuses. The NPC [ArmorBoboko Boboko can upgrade your armor in Central Flarine. To upgrade items an item you will require the required amount of 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. The NPC will also offer an extra reward for each tier of the upgrade process. This reward can be rerolled once and will be made using the same materials used in the original item.

Rerolling

If players have enough to reroll tokens, they are able to reroll any item that they have acquired during the game. If an upgraded item is to be rerolled, it will be exchanged for an equivalent level 1 version of the same item from a different set. Reroll tokens are available in the shop for a small sum of in-game currency. They are not refundable. The upgraded item upgrader will still come with the extra bonuses of the original one however its stats will differ as well.

In addition to rerolling items, players can also change the identification of any equipment by interfacing with an upgrader NPC. This will change the identity from an armored weapon to a weapon, or vice versa, all the while keeping its basic stats and the attributes it requires. The change will be permanent and will affect all characters who have the gear.

The player can also upgrade their level of the item for any equipment equipped. This can be done by engaging with an upgrader NPC and getting upgrade components. This will cost a certain number of crests and Valorstones depending on the upgrade track and kind. Each step will give 5% more damage to weapons.

Upgrades can boost the effectiveness of an item, however they also decrease the quality of an item. It is therefore important to strike a balance between the two. Some items may not be worth upgrading, while others will need to be upgraded to realize their potential. A player might want to upgrade their breakpoint armor using an interesting modifier ( percent block chance or FHR) in order to explore what else it can be.

Rerolling is a common practice in Genshin Impact and other gacha-based games. It is a method used by players to try to obtain the character or weapon that they wouldn't otherwise have. Getting these items can be expensive and time-consuming and the RNG gods do not always want to play ball. The only other options are to invest money or grind extensively. Rerolling is very popular in Genshin Impact.

Leveling

When upgrading an item, you can increase the level of the weapon or armor. However, this feature does absolutely nothing in the current game. I believe this feature was created to give value to expensive and rare items. However, since the majority of items are replaced quite quickly, and can only be upgraded to a certain level, you will generally replace it before it is too old. It is also not worth upgrading items with gem sockets because the power of the stone will outweigh any increase in the ilvl.

You will see a small box when you click on the upgrade option for an item upgrader kit (check out this one from istartw.lineageinc.com). It will display the template for the item, its Crest, as well as the cost for Valorstone to raise the level of the item. Weapons and armor will have different costs, with the former usually being more expensive. The upgrade template outlines the stats to be added to an upgraded item along with its current ilvl.

The cost of the Valorstone and the crest is calculated based on the current Ilvl of the item as well as the upgrade templates. The ilvl will also be reduced by the upgrade templates lvl reduction percentage. For instance the weapon that has an increase of 8% will reduce its count by 8-8 percent.

In addition to the increase in ilvl base the item will also receive upgrades in other stats such as critical strike damage, PvE damage and block, parry and dodge rating. Those increases are also built on the upgrade template.

The amount of damage and defense that the item receives when leveled up can be shown below the cost and upgrade decrease percentages in the upgrade template window. Aside from equipment for practice, all items and armor get these same stats when upgraded. The market determines the value of these stats. A weapon or armor with perfect rolls can command an incredibly higher price than a non-upp’d version. The same applies to other armor pieces, like tiaras or circlets.
