Then You ve Found Your Item Upgrading ... Now What

Path of Exile Item Upgrading

The best method to upgrade your equipment in Path of Exile is through item upgrades. This lets you enhance your gear without having to rely on expensive drops or trades. This article will teach you how to upp your items efficiently.

Upgrades to equipment grant an additional bonus to the item's stats. This bonus scales depending on the rarity and strength of the upgrade component.

Components

Upgrade components can make your weapons and armour better. You can locate them through destroying enemies, buying them from karma sellers or finding them in item-spheres. They can also be salvaged from equipment with them, or by utilizing the highest-quality salvage kits 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.

The primary function of upgrade components is to enable an item to be upgraded, but they also serve other functions. They can be stacked in order to increase the level or experience gained from upgrading existing equipment or weapons. They can also be made to give additional bonuses. A glyph that is crafted can boost the upgrade chances of its target, and boost upgrades increase the defense or attack capabilities of a weapon.

Selecting an upgrade template from the GUI will allow you to connect it to an item. This will display the upgrade components that the item can be updated. You can also use the workbench for selecting an upgrade template. In either case, the item upgrader mod will be upgraded when enough upgrade components have been collected.

Each component has a different experience multiplier, which affects the amount of experience an item will gain when it upgrades with that component. Organic components, for example, have an increased multiplier of experience than mechanical components. It is therefore recommended to upgrade using organic components until you have reached the experience multiplier for the next rank of the equipment or weapon, and then change to mechanical upgrades.

Each item comes with a maximum upgrade number that it is possible to receive. The number of upgradeable items is determined by their upgradeable rank, and the kind of upgrade they are able to receive. For example, the highest possible weapon upgrade is a weapon with tier 10. However, the most common upgrade for weapons is an tier 6 weapon as well as a tier 5 armor upgrade.

Sets

A set is a collection of objects that all share the same bonus. Each item in the set can be upgraded at least once and the upgrade will increase its guaranteed bonuses. The first time you upgrade an item, its initial stat will be +1. Following upgrades, the primary stats will be increased even more (for instance, +1 for 12+/13+/14+) and every time an item is upgraded one of its additional stats is increased randomly.

Upgrades can also boost the damage base of a weapon. This can be crucial for certain builds. Weapons can't be upgraded for greater maximum defence rolls than their base. Upgrading can be a good option to increase the value of certain sets and unique items, however it is important to keep in mind that they might not be superior to a high-level runeword in any build.

If an item you're upgrading has a guarantee bonus that is guaranteed, it can be rerolled once, and then its guarantee will be reset to zero. Rerolling costs the same amount of power dice as bringing an item, however the new item upgrader mod will have additional bonuses. The NPC [ArmorBoboko Boboko can upgrade your armor in 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 can be bought by using Gold at the crafting table, or in the Ultra Collection. The NPCs will also offer special rewards for each level of the upgrade process. This reward is rerollable once, and the reroll will use the same materials used in the original item.

Rerolling

If players have enough to reroll tokens, they are able to roll any item they have acquired during the game. When an item is rerolled it will be replaced with a level 1 version in another set. Reroll tokens are available from the store for an amount of in-game currency, but they aren't refundable. The new item upgraded will still come with the extra bonuses of the original one however, its stats will be different as well.

In addition to rerolling items players can also change the identity of any equipment by engaging with an upgrader NPC. This will change the identity from an armored weapon to a weapon, or vice versa, all the 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 their item level for any equipment that is equipped. This is accomplished by engaging with an upgrader NPC and getting upgrade items. It will cost a specific amount of crests and Valorstones dependent on the upgrade track and the item kind. For weapons, each step up will add 5% to its damage.

The upgrade of an item will make it more powerful however it can also lower its quality. It is therefore essential to find a balance between these two. Some items may not be worth upgrading, while others will need to be upgraded to reach their potential. For example one player might wish to upgrade a piece breakpoint armor that comes with an interesting modifier (% chance to block or FHR) to see what it can be.

The primary reason people reroll in Genshin Impact, or in any gacha-based game, is because they are trying to obtain a particular weapon or character that they wouldn't otherwise be able to acquire. The process of obtaining these items can be expensive and time-consuming, and the RNG gods aren't always willing to play. The only alternative is to invest money or grind for a long time. This is why rerolling is a popular option in Genshin Impact.

Leveling

When upgrading an item you can pick to increase the level of the weapon or armor. This feature is not available in the current version of the game. I think it was meant to to increase the value of rare items, but because the majority of gear drops quickly and can only be upgraded once you've reached a certain level, you'll usually replace the item before it gets too old. It's not worth upgrading items using gem sockets, as the power of the stone will outweigh any increase in the level of.

You will be presented with a small box when you click the upgrade option on an item upgrader mod. It will display the template for the Item Upgrade, its crest, and the cost for Valorstone to raise the item level. Armor and weapons have different prices, with the latter usually being more expensive. The upgrade template shows the stats that will be added to the upgraded item and will also list its current base ilvl.

The Crest and Valorstone costs are calculated based on the item's current ilvl as well as the upgrade template. Additionally the ilvl of the new upgraded item will be decreased by the template's lvl reduction percentage. For instance, an upgrade of 8% will reduce the weapon's ilvl by 8 to 8%.

In addition to the base ilvl boost it 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 seen below the upgrade cost and decrease percentages in the upgrade template window. 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 perfect version of a weapon or piece of armor able to command much more in trade value than unupp'd versions. The same applies to other armor pieces, like tiaras or circlets.
