Path of Exile Item Upgrading
The best way to improve your equipment in Path of Exile is through item upgrade s. This lets you enhance your gear without having to rely on expensive trades or drops. This article will help you understand how to upgrade your items.
Upgrades to equipment give a bonus on the item's stats. The amount of bonus varies based on the rarity and quality of the upgrade component.
Components
Upgrade components are the things that make your weapons and armor better. You can locate them through destroying enemies, buying them from karma sellers or finding them in item-spheres. They can also be rescued from equipment with them, or through the highest-quality salvage kits such as the Black Lion Salvage Kit or Ascended Salvage Tool. Upgrade components aren't destroyed when you remove them from an item.
Upgrade components are typically used to improve an item but they can also be used for other reasons. They can be used to boost the value 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 gear. They can be forged for additional bonuses. A crafted glyph can increase the chances of upgrading its target, while an upgrade boosts the defense or attack capabilities of the weapon.
Selecting an upgrade template from the GUI will allow you to bind it to an item. This will display the upgrade components that the item can be upgraded. Alternatively, you can use the workbench to select an upgrade template. In either case, the item will be upgraded after enough upgrade components have been gathered.
Each component has a unique experience multiplier. This determines the amount of experience an item will gain when upgraded using that component. For instance, organic components give more experience multipliers than mechanical ones. It is recommended to upgrade organic components first until you reach the next level in the weapon or equipment, and then switch to the mechanical upgrades.
Each item comes with an upgrade maximum number that it is possible to receive. The number of upgradeable items is determined by their upgradeable rank and the kind of upgrade they can get. For instance, the highest possible weapon upgrade is a tier 10 weapon. However, the most common weapon upgrades are the tier 6 weapon and an armor upgrade of tier 5.
Sets
A set is a set of items that share the same bonus. Each item in the set can be upgraded at least once and the upgrade increases the amount of bonuses that are guaranteed. When you first upgrade an item, its primary stat will be +1. After subsequent upgrades, primary stats are increased even more (for instance, +1 for 12+/13+/14+) and each time an item is upgraded one of its additional stats is increased randomly.
Upgrades to a weapon may increase the damage base, which can be important for some builds. However, weapons cannot be upgraded to a higher maximum defense roll than their normal base. It is a good option to increase the value of a set and unique items, but it is important to keep in mind that they may not be superior to a high-level runeword in any build.
If an item you're upgrading has a guaranteed bonus it is able to be rerolled only once and the guarantee will be reset to zero. The same amount of power dies are used to roll an item, just as it would be to level it up. However the new item comes with different bonuses. Upgrades can be made at the NPC [Armorthe ] Boboko in Central Flarine. To upgrade an item, you will 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 can be purchased using Gold. The NPCs will also offer special rewards for each completed stage of the upgrade process. This reward is rerollable once and the reroll will be made using the same materials used in the original item.
Rerolling
A player is able to reroll any item acquired in the game if they have enough reroll tokens to be able to do so. If an item is rerolled, it will be replaced by an equivalent level 1 version from another set. Reroll tokens are available in the shop for a small sum of in-game currency. They are not refundable. The new upgraded item will still come with the extra bonuses of the first, but its stats will be different too.
In addition to rerolling objects, players can also change the identification of any item by interfacing with an upgrader NPC. This will change the identity from an armored weapon to a weapon, or vice versa, while keeping its basic stats and the attributes it requires. The change will last for a long time and affect all characters who own the equipment.
Players can also boost the level of their item on any equipped device by obtaining upgrade items and conversing with the NPC who upgrades the item. The cost will differ based on the upgrade track, item type and number of crests. For weapons, each upgrade will add an additional five percent to the damage.
The upgrade of an item will make it more powerful however it can also lower its quality. Therefore, it is important to balance the two. Some items aren't worth upgrading, while other items require upgrading to make them more effective. A player may want to upgrade breakpoint armor with an interesting modifier ( percent block chance, or FHR) to see what else it can be.
The primary reason why people are able to reroll in Genshin Impact, or in any gacha-based game, is that they're trying to acquire a certain character or weapon that they can't otherwise obtain. These items can be expensive and time-consuming, and the RNG gods aren't always willing to play. The only choices left are to spend real cash or grind for a long time. For this reason, rerolling is a very popular option in Genshin Impact.
Leveling
You can decide to upgrade the weapon or armor when upgrading an item. This feature isn't 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 is only upgraded once you've reached a certain level and you'll typically replace the item before it becomes old enough. 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 the upgrade option on an item, you will see a small window with the upgrade template of the item as well as the cost of Valorstone and crest to increase the level of the item. Weapons and armor will have different costs, with the latter usually being more expensive. The upgrade template lists the stats that will be added to the upgraded item. It it also lists the current base ilvl.
The Crest and Valorstone costs are calculated according to the item's current ilvl as well as the upgrade template. In addition the ilvl of a new upgraded item will be reduced by the template's lvl reduction percentage. For instance an upgrade of 8% can reduce the ilvl of a weapon by 8 to 8percent.
The item will get upgrades to other stats like critical strike damage, PvE damages, and block, parry, and dodge rating in addition to the base level. These enhancements are also based on the upgrade template.
In the upgrade template, you can see the amount of damage or defense an item will receive when it is upgraded. This is listed below the cost as well as the upgrade percentages. Apart from the equipment for practice, all weapons and armor gain the same stats once upgraded. The value of these additional stats will be determined by the market, with a rolled perfect version of a piece of armor or weapon can command significantly higher trade values than non-upp'd versions. The same is true for other pieces of armor, such as circlets and tiaras.
