Path of Exile Item Upgrading
The best method to improve your gear in Path of Exile is through upgrade of your items. This allows you to improve it without having to rely on expensive trades or drops. This article will help you understand how to upgrade your items.
Upgrading equipment grants an increase to the item's base stats. This bonus scales according to the rarity and level of the upgrade component.
Components
Upgrade components are the items that make your weapons and armor better. You can get them from the destruction of enemies, finding them in item spheres or purchasing them from karma sellers. They can also be salvaged from equipment that contains them, or through an advanced salvage kit such as the Black Lion Salvage Kit or Ascended Salvage Tool. In contrast to other items, upgrade components are not destroyed when removed from an item.
Upgrade components are typically used to improve an item but they can also be used for other purposes. They can be stacked to increase the level of an upgradeable item, or they can be used to enhance the experience gained when upgrading an existing weapon or piece of equipment. They can be forged to give additional benefits. A crafted glyph can increase the chance of upgrading its target, while boost upgrades increase the attack or defense attributes of weapons.
By selecting an upgrade template from the GUI will allow you to bind it to an item. This will display the upgrade components to which the item can be upgraded. You can also use the workbench for selecting an upgrade template. In either instance the item will be upgraded once enough upgrade components are collected.
Each component has its own experience multiplier. This determines the amount of experience an item gains when upgraded using the component. Organic components, like have a higher multiplier of experience than mechanical components. Therefore, it is recommended to upgrade using organic components until you reach the experience multiplier of the next rank of weapon or gear, then change to mechanical upgrades.
In addition to the multiplier for experience Each item also comes with the maximum number of upgrades it can receive. The number of items that can be upgraded is determined by their upgradeable rank and the type of upgrade they are able to receive. For instance, the most expensive possible upgrade for a weapon is a tier 10 weapon. The most common weapon upgrade is a gun with tier 6 and an armor upgrade of tier 5.
Sets
A set is a set of items that share the same bonus. Each item can be upgraded at least once. The upgrade boosts the bonuses that are guaranteed. The first time you upgrade a set piece or weapon, it will receive a +1 increase to its primary stat. After subsequent upgrades the primary stats will be boosted a little further (for instance, +1 to 12+/13+/14+) Every time you upgrade the item it will have one of its additional stats is increased randomly.
Upgrades can also boost a weapon's damage base. This could be crucial for certain builds. However, weapons are not upgraded to have a greater defense level than their base. It is possible to increase value of certain sets and unique items by upgrading them, however they're not always better than a Runeword with a high level.
If an item you're upgrading has a guarantee bonus, it can be rerolled once, and then its guarantee will reset to 0. The same power die is used to reroll an item as it would be to level it up. However the new item comes with different bonuses. Upgrades can be made through the NPC [Armorthe ] Boboko in the Central Flarine. To upgrade an item, you'll need a power die of each kind (Dice 4 or 6 drop from monsters 21+ and Giants; dice 7 drops from bosses) and the proper amount of Minerals and Erons. These are available at the crafting table or the Ultra Collector and are available for purchase with Gold. The NPCs will also offer special rewards for each stage of the upgrade process. This reward can be rerolled a single time using the same materials and components as the first item.
Rerolling
If players have enough to reroll tokens, they are able to reroll any item that they have acquired during the game. When an upgraded item is rerolled, it will be exchanged for a level 1 version of the same item in a different set. Reroll tokens are available in the shop for a small amount of in-game currency. They are not refundable. The new upgraded item will have the same benefits of the previous one however, its stats will be different too.
In addition to rerolling objects, players can also alter the identification of any item by interacting with an upgrader NPC. This will change the identification from an armored weapon to a weapon, or vice versa, while maintaining its base stats and attributes that are required. The change will last for a long time and affect all characters who have the equipment.
The player can also upgrade the level of the item for any equipment equipped. This is done by interacting with an upgrader NPC, and then obtaining upgrade item s. The cost will differ based on the upgrade track, item type, and the number of crests. For weapons, each upgrade will add an additional five percent to the damage.
The upgrade of an item can make it more powerful, but it will also decrease its quality. It is therefore important to find a balance between these two. Certain items might not be worth upgrading and some will require to be upgraded to maximize their potential. A player might want to upgrade breakpoint armor with an interesting modification ( percent block chance or FHR) to see what else it can be.
The primary reason why people play rerolls in Genshin Impact, or in any gacha-based game is because they are trying to get a specific weapon or character that they wouldn't otherwise be able to acquire. These items can be time-consuming and expensive to acquire and the RNG does not always work in a positive way. The only alternative is to spend real money or grind a lot. Rerolling is very popular in Genshin Impact.
Leveling
When upgrading an item you can upgrade the weapon or armor. This feature is not 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 since gear in general drops fairly quickly and is only upgraded once you've reached a certain level, you'll usually replace the item before it becomes old enough. It's not worth it to level items that have gem sockets since the value of the gem will be greater than the increase in ilvl with the upgrade.
You will be presented with a small box when you click on the upgrade option for an item. It will display the template of the item, the crest, and the cost of Valorstone to increase the item level. Armor and weapons have different costs, with the latter generally being more expensive. The upgrade template lists the stats that can be added to an upgraded item along with its current ilvl.
The cost of the Valorstone and crest is calculated using the current Ilvl of the item as well as the upgrade templates. The ilvl will also be reduced by the upgrade templates reduction percentage of lvl. For example, an upgrade of 8% can reduce the ilvl of a weapon by 8 to 8percent.
The item will get upgrades to other stats, such as critical strike damage, PvE damage, and block, parry and dodge rating in addition to the base ilvl. These enhancements are also based on the upgrade template.
In the upgrade template, you can determine the amount of damage or defense the item will suffer when it is upgraded. This is listed below the cost and the upgrade percentages. Aside from practice equipment, all other items and armor get these same stats when leveled up. The market will determine the value of these stats. A weapon or armor that has perfect rolls can fetch more than an unupp'd version. Similar is the case for other pieces of armor such as tiaras and circlets.
