20 Things You Need To Be Educated About Item Upgrading

Path of Exile Item Upgrading

In Path of Exile, item upgrading is among the most effective ways to upgrade your gear without relying on large-ticket drops or trade. This article will teach you how to upgrade your gear.

Upgrading equipment grants an additional bonus to the item's base stats. The amount of bonus varies based on the rarity and strength of the upgrade component.

Components

Upgrade components are the things that can make your weapons and armor more effective. You can get them from the destruction of enemies, finding them in item spheres, or buying them from karma merchants. You can also salvage them from equipment that has the components or through high-end salvage kits like Black Lion Salvage Kit and Ascended Salvage Tool. Upgrade components aren't destroyed by removing them from an item.

Upgrade components are mostly used to upgrade an item but they can also be used for other purposes. They can be stacked to increase the level of experience gained by upgrading existing weapons or gear. They can also be made to provide extra bonuses. For instance, a designed glyph will increase the upgrade chance of its target, whereas a boost upgrade will enhance the defense or attack quality of a weapon or armor.

You can attach an upgrade template to an item by selecting it from the edition GUI. This will display the list of upgrade components that the item can be upgraded to. You can also use the workbench when selecting an upgrade template. In either case, the item will be upgraded after enough upgrade components have been gathered.

Each component has a different experience multiplier, which affects how much more experience an item will gain when it is upgraded by the component. Organic components, for example have more experience multipliers than mechanical components. It is therefore best to upgrade using organic components until you reach the experience multiplier of the next level of the weapon or gear, and then move to mechanical upgrades.

In addition to the multiplier for experience every item also has an 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 can get. For instance, the most expensive possible upgrade for a weapon is a weapon with tier 10. The most common weapon upgrade is a gun with tier 6 and a armor upgrade of tier 5.

Sets

A set is a group of items that share a bonus. Each item in the set can be upgraded at least once and the upgrade will increase the guaranteed bonuses. When you first upgrade the set piece or weapon, it will receive a +1 increase to its primary stat. On subsequent upgrades, the primary stats will be enhanced even more (for instance, +1 for 12+/13+/14+) and every time an item is upgraded, one of its additional stats increases randomly.

Upgrades can also boost a weapon's damage base. This can be crucial for certain types of weapons. However, weapons can't be upgraded to have a higher defense base than their normal base. Upgrades can be a great option to increase the value of some set and unique items, but it is important to keep in mind that they might not be more effective than a high-level raneword in any build.

If an item you're upgrading comes with a guaranteed bonus that is guaranteed, it can be rerolled once and the guarantee will be reset to zero. The same amount of power dies are used to roll an item as it would be to upgrade it. However the new item comes with different bonuses. Upgrades can be completed by visiting the NPC [Armor] Boboko in the Central Flarine. To upgrade an item, you'll need a power die of each type (Dice 4 or 6 drop from monsters 21+ and Giants; dice 7 drops from bosses) and the appropriate amount of Minerals and Erons. These are available at the crafting table or in the Ultra Collector and can be purchased using Gold. The NPC will also provide an additional reward for every tier that is completed of the upgrade process. This reward can be rerolled one time using the same materials as original item.

Rerolling

If players have enough rerolling tokens, they can reroll any item that they've accumulated during the game. When an item is rerolled it will be replaced with a level 1 version in another set. Reroll tokens are available in the shop for a small sum of in-game currency. They cannot be refunded. The new item will offer the same bonuses like the first, however the statistics will also differ.

In addition to rerolling objects, players can also alter the identification of any item by interfacing with an upgrader NPC. The equipment's identification will change as a weapon to armor or reverse it. The base requirements and stats remain the same. The change will last for a long time and affect all characters who own the gear.

The player can also upgrade their level of an item upgrader kit for any equipment equipped. This is done by talking to an upgrader NPC, and then obtaining upgrade components. The cost of upgrading will depend on the upgrade track, item type and number of crests. In the case of weapons, each upgrade will add an additional 5percent to the damage.

An upgrade can boost its power, but it will also lower its quality. Therefore, it is crucial to balance the two. Certain items might not be worth upgrading at all, while others will need to be upgraded to reach their potential. One player may wish to upgrade their breakpoint armor using an interesting modifier (% block chance or FHR) to discover what it could be.

The primary reason people reroll in Genshin Impact, or in any gacha-based game is that they're trying to get a specific character or weapon that they wouldn't otherwise be able to acquire. These items are time-consuming and costly to obtain and the RNG does not always work in a positive way. The only alternative is to spend money or grind for a long time. Rerolling is very popular in Genshin Impact.

Leveling

You can choose whether to upgrade item the weapon or armor when you upgrade an item. This feature is not available in the current version of the game. I believe this feature was created to give value to rare and expensive items. However, since most items are replaced quite quickly and can only be upgraded by to a certain level, you will typically replace it before it is too old. It's also not worthwhile to upgrade items that have gem sockets as the power of the gem will be greater than the higher ilvl that comes with the upgrade.

If you click on the upgrade option on an item, you'll get a small screen with the upgrade template of the item upgrades as well as the cost of Valorstone and crest to increase the item level. The cost of upgrades will vary based on the armor and weapons as well, with the former typically costing more than the latter. The upgrade template lists the stats that will be added to an upgraded item, and also the current base ilvl.

The crest and Valorstone costs are calculated based on the item's current ilvl and the upgrade template. In addition the ilvl of the new upgraded item will be reduced by the template's lvl decrease percentage. For example weapons with an 8% upgrade decrease will reduce its value by 8-8 percent.

The item upgrader will be upgraded to other stats, like critical strike damage, PvE damage and block, parry and dodge rating, in addition to the base level. Those increases are also built on the upgrade template.

The amount of damage and defense that the item receives when it is leveled can be seen below the cost and upgrade decrease percentages in the upgrade template window. All armor and weapons apart from practice equipment get these stats when they level up. The value of these additional stats will be determined by the market, with a perfectly rolled perfect version of a piece of armor or weapon can command significantly more in trade value than unupp'd versions. This is also true for other pieces of armor such as circlets or Tiaras.
