Path of Exile Item Upgrading
The best way to upgrade your gear in Path of Exile is through item upgrades. This lets you improve it without having to depend on costly trades or drops. This article will teach you how to upgrade your gear.
Upgrading equipment grants a bonus to the item's base stats. This bonus is based on the upgrade component's level and rarity.
Components
Upgrade components are the items that make your weapons and armor more effective. You can get them from the destruction of enemies, finding them in spheres of items or purchasing them from karma sellers. They can also be salvaged from equipment that contains them, or by utilizing the highest-quality salvage kits like the Black Lion Salvage Kit or Ascended Salvage Tool. Upgrade components are not destroyed by removing them from the item.
The main function of upgrade components is to enable an item to be upgraded, but they also serve other functions. They can be used to increase the quality 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 also be forged to give additional bonuses. A glyph that is crafted can boost the chance of upgrading its target while a boost upgrade increases the defense or attack capabilities of a weapon.
By selecting an upgrade template from the GUI will allow you to connect it to an item. This will display the list of upgrade components that the item can be upgraded to. You can also use the workbench to select an upgrade template. In either case, an item will be upgraded when enough upgrade components have been gathered.
Each component has its own experience multiplier, which determines how much more experience an item gets when it upgrades with the component. Organic components, for instance, have a higher multiplier of experience than mechanical components. It is therefore recommended to upgrade with organic components until you have reached the experience multiplier for the next rank of the weapon or gear, then change to mechanical upgrades.
Each item has an upgrade limit number that it is possible to receive. The number of upgrades available is determined by the upgradeable rank and the type of upgrade available to the upgradeable item. For instance, the most expensive possible weapon upgrade is a weapon of tier 10. The most commonly used upgrade is a gun with tier 6 and a armor upgrade of tier 5.
Sets
A set is a collection of items which share the benefit of. Each item in the set can be upgraded at least once and each upgrade boosts the guaranteed bonuses. The first time you upgrade an item, its primary stat will be +1. After subsequent upgrades the primary stats will be boosted a little further (for example, +1 to 12+/13+/14+) Each time you upgrade the item with an additional stats is increased randomly.
Upgrading a weapon can also increase the damage base, which may be important for some builds. Weapons can't be upgraded for greater maximum defence rolls than their base. It is possible to increase value of certain sets and unique items by upgrading them, but they're not always superior to a higher-level Runeword.
If the item you're upgrading comes with a guaranteed bonus it is able to be rerolled a few times, and then its guarantee will reset to 0. Rerolling costs the same amount of power dice as the process of leveling an item, however the new item will offer additional bonuses. The NPC [ArmorBoboko Boboko can upgrade your armor in Central Flarine. To upgrade an item, you will require a power die of each type (Dice 4 or 6 drop from monsters 21+ and Giants; dice 7 drops from bosses) and the right amount of Minerals and Erons. These can be purchased by using Gold at the crafting table, or in the Ultra Collection. The NPC will also provide an extra reward for every tier that is completed of the upgrade process. The reward can be rerolled one time, using the same materials as original item.
Rerolling
A player is able to reroll any item acquired in the game if they have enough reroll tokens to do so. If an upgraded item is rerolled, it will be exchanged for a version that is level 1 of the same item from a different set. Reroll tokens are sold in the store for a small sum of in-game currency. They are not refundable. The upgraded item will still come with the extra benefits of the previous one, but its stats will differ too.
In addition to rerolling items players can also change the identity of any equipment by interacting with an upgrader NPC. This will change the identification from a weapon to an armor, or vice versa. 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 their level of an item for any equipment equipped. This is accomplished by engaging with an upgrader NPC, and then obtaining upgrade items. It will cost a specific amount of crests as well as Valorstones according to the upgrade track and type. For weapons, each step up will add 5percent to the damage.
Upgrading an item will make it more powerful, but it will reduce its effectiveness. It is therefore important to balance the two. Some items aren't worth upgrading, while other items require upgrades to make them more effective. A player might want to upgrade their breakpoint armor using an interesting modification (% block chance or FHR) in order to see what else it can be.
The primary reason why people reroll in Genshin Impact, or in any gacha-based game is because they're trying to obtain a particular character or weapon that they can't otherwise obtain. These items can be costly and time-consuming, and the RNG gods aren't always willing to play ball. The only other options are to spend real money or grind a lot. Rerolling is a popular feature in Genshin Impact.
Leveling
You can select whether to upgrade the weapon or armor when upgrading an item. However, this feature does absolutely nothing in the current game. I believe it was intended to be a way to increase the value of rare items, but because equipment generally drops quickly and is only upgraded one level up and you'll typically replace the item before it gets old enough. It is also not worth upgrading items with gem sockets, as the power of the stone will outweigh any increase in the level of.
When you click the upgrade option on an item, you will be presented with a small window displaying the upgrade template for the item and the cost of Valorstone and crest to increase the item level. The cost of upgrades will vary based on armor and weapons, with the former usually 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 crest and Valorstone costs are calculated according to the item's current ilvl and the upgrade template. In addition, the ilvl of the new upgraded item will be decreased by the template's lvl reduction percentage. For example, a weapon with an increase of 8% will reduce its count by 8-8%.
In addition to the increase in ilvl base the item will also get upgrades in other stats, such as critical strike damage, damage from PvE and dodge, block, and parry rating. These enhancements are also based on the upgrade template.
In improve items , you can check the amount of damage or defense the item will receive after being leveled up. This is displayed below the cost as well as the upgrade percentages. All armor and weapons that are not practice equipment gain these stats upon leveling up. The value of these additional stats will be determined by the market, with a perfectly rolled version of a piece of armor or weapon able to command much more trade value than non-upp'd versions. The same applies to other pieces of armor like circlets and tiaras.
