Path of Exile Item Upgrading
The best way to upgrade your equipment in Path of Exile is through item upgrades (Suggested Reading). This lets you improve it without having to rely on expensive drops or trades. This article will teach you how to upp your items efficiently.
Upgrades to equipment provide a bonus on the item's stats. This bonus is based on the upgrade component's level and rarity.
Components
Upgrade components are the items that can make your weapons and armor more effective. You can locate them by destroying enemies, purchasing them from karma sellers or finding them in items-spheres. They can also be salvaged from equipment that has them, or by utilizing an advanced salvage kit like the Black Lion Salvage Kit or Ascended Salvage Tool. Upgrade components cannot be destroyed when you remove them from the item.
The main function of upgrade item components is to allow an item to be upgraded but they also serve other purposes. They can be stacked 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 be made for additional benefits. A crafted glyph can increase the chance of upgrading its target, and a boost upgrade increases the attack or defense attributes of a weapon.
By selecting an upgrade template from the GUI will allow you to bind it to an item. This will show the upgrade components that the item can be upgraded. You can also utilize the workbench to select an upgrade template. In either scenario, the item will be upgraded after enough upgrade components are collected.
Each component has a different experience multiplier that affects how much more experience an item will gain when it upgrades with the component. For instance, organic components give more experience multipliers than mechanical ones. It is therefore recommended to upgrade using organic components until you have reached the multiplier of experience for the next rank of weapon or gear, and then change to mechanical upgrades.
In addition to the multiplier for experience, each item also has a maximum number of upgrades it can receive. The number of items that are upgradeable is determined by their upgradeable rank and the type of upgrade they are able to receive. For instance, the highest possible upgrade for a weapon is a weapon with tier 10. The most commonly used upgrade is a gun of tier 6 and a armor upgrade for tier 5.
Sets
A set is a group of items that share the benefit of. Each item can be upgraded at the minimum once. The upgrade boosts the bonuses that are guaranteed. When you first upgrade an item, its primary stat will be +1. On subsequent upgrades, the primary stats will be boosted a bit further (for instance, +1 to 12+/13+/14+), and each time you upgrade the item, one of its extra stats is increased randomly.
Upgrades can also boost a weapon's damage base. This may be important for certain types of weapons. Weapons cannot be upgraded for an increased maximum defence roll than their base. Upgrades can be a great way to improve the value of certain sets and unique items, however it's important to remember that they may not be superior to a high-level runeword in any build.
If the item you're upgrading has a guarantee bonus it is able to be rerolled a few times and its guarantee will be reset to zero. Rerolling will cost the same amount of power dice as the process of leveling an item, however the new item will have different extra bonuses. The NPC [ArmorBoboko 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. They can be purchased with Gold at the crafting table, or in the Ultra Collection. The NPC will also provide an additional reward for each tier of the upgrade process. This reward can be rerolled a single time with the same materials and components as the first item.
Rerolling
If a player has enough rerolling tokens, they can reroll any item that they have acquired 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 from the store for small amounts of in-game currency, but they are not refundable. The new item will have the same bonus features as the previous one, but the stats will also be different.
In addition to rerolling items players can also change the identity of any equipment by interfacing with an upgrader NPC. This will change the identity from a weapon to armor or vice versa, while retaining its base stats and required attributes. The change is permanent and will affect all characters that own the gear in question.
The player can also upgrade their level of an item for any equipment that is equipped. This can be done by talking to an upgrader NPC and obtaining upgrade items. The cost will differ based on the upgrade track, item type and the number of crests. For weapons, each upgrade will add an additional 5percent to the damage.
Upgrades can increase the power of an item, but they also can decrease its quality. Therefore, it is crucial to keep both in check. Some items aren't worth upgrading, while others require upgrades to maximize their potential. A player may want to upgrade breakpoint armor with an interesting modifier ( 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 that they're trying to obtain a particular weapon or character that they aren't able to obtain. The process of obtaining these items can be costly and time-consuming and the RNG gods aren't always willing to cooperate. The only options are to spend real cash or grind lots. For this reason, rerolling is a very popular choice in Genshin Impact.
Leveling
When upgrading an item, you can choose to increase the level of the weapon or armor. But, this feature does absolutely nothing in the current game. I believe this feature was created to add some value to expensive and rare items. However, since the majority of gear is replaced fairly quickly and can only be upgraded one level, you will usually replace it before it becomes too old. It's also not worth it to upgrade items with gem sockets since the value of the gem will far outweigh the increased ilvl that comes with the upgrade.
You will see a small window when you click on the upgrade option for an item. It will show the template for the item, its crest, and the cost of Valorstone to increase the level of the item. The cost will differ between armor and weapons, with the former usually costing more than the latter. The upgrade template outlines the stats to be added to an upgraded item upgrade, and also the current ilvl.
The cost of the Valorstone and crest is calculated using the item's current Ilvl and the upgrade templates. Additionally the ilvl of the new upgraded item will be decreased by the template's lvl decrease percentage. For instance, an upgrade of 8% will decrease the weapon's ilvl by 8 to 8%.
In addition to the base ilvl boost the item will also be upgraded in other stats like critical strike damage, PvE damage and block, parry and dodge rating. These increases are based on the upgrade template.
The amount of defense and damage the item receives when it is leveled can be observed below the cost and upgrade decrease percentages in the upgrade template window. In addition to practice equipment, all armor and weapons gain these same stats when leveled up. The market will determine the worth of these stats. A weapon or armor that has perfect rolls can fetch a much higher price than a non-upp’d version. The same is true for other pieces of armor such as circlets or tiaras.
