Path of Exile Item Upgrading
The Best item upgrade method to upgrade your equipment in Path of Exile is through item upgrades (Saveyoursite explained in a blog post). This lets you upgrade your gear without having depend on costly drops or trades. This article will show you how to upgrade your items efficiently.
Upgrades to equipment grant a bonus on the item’s stats. The bonus increases with upgrade component level and rarity.
Components
Upgrade components are the parts that improve your armor and weapons more effective. You can find them through destroying enemies, buying them from karma vendors or finding them in item-spheres. They can also be salvaged from equipment that contains them or by using an advanced salvage kit such as the Black Lion Salvage Kit or Ascended Salvage Tool. Upgrade components are not destroyed when you remove them from the item.
Upgrade components are primarily used to upgrade an item but they can also be used for other reasons. They can be stacked to increase the level of experience gained from upgrading existing equipment or weapons. They can also be made to provide extra bonuses. A glyph that is crafted can boost the chances of upgrading its target, and boost upgrades increase the defense or attack capabilities of the weapon.
You can bind an upgrade template to an item by selecting it from the edition GUI. This will show the upgrade components that the item can be updated. You can also use the workbench when selecting an upgrade template. In either case, an item will be upgraded once enough upgrade components have been collected.
Each component has a distinct experience multiplier, which determines the amount of experience an item receives when it is upgraded by that component. Organic components, for instance have an increased multiplier of experience than mechanical components. You should upgrade your organic components first until you reach the next level in the weapon or equipment, then switch to mechanical upgrades.
Each item has a maximum upgrade number that it is possible to receive. The number of upgrades are determined by its upgradeable rank and the type of upgrade for the upgradeable item. For instance, the most expensive possible weapon upgrade is a weapon with tier 10. However, the most common weapon upgrades are a tier 6 weapon and a tier 5 armor upgrade.
Sets
A set is a collection of items that share bonuses. Each item in the set can be upgraded at least one time, and each upgrade boosts its guaranteed bonuses. When you first upgrade the set piece or weapon, it will receive an increase of +1 to its primary stat. On subsequent upgrades, the primary stats are increased even more (for instance the +1 bonus for 12+/13+/14+) and each time an item is upgraded, one of its stats will increase randomly.
Upgrading a weapon can also increase the damage base, which can be necessary for certain builds. Weapons aren’t upgraded to give a higher maximum defence roll than their base. It is a good method to increase the value of some 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 comes with a guaranteed bonus it is able to be rerolled only once and the guarantee will be reset to 0. The same power die is used to reroll an item, just as it would be to increase its level. However the new item comes with different bonuses. The NPC [Armor] 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 kind. These can be bought by using Gold at the crafting table or in the Ultra Collection. NPCs also offer special rewards for each stage of the upgrade process. The reward can be rerolled one time using the same materials as the original item.
Rerolling
A player is able to reroll any item acquired in the game if they have enough reroll tokens. If an item is rerolled, it will be replaced by an equivalent level 1 version from another set. Reroll tokens are sold at the store for a small amount of in-game currency. They are not refundable. The new item will come with the same bonuses like the first, however the stats will be different.
Players can alter the identification of their equipment as well as changing it’s roll by interfacing with an NPC upgrader. This will change its identification from a weapons to armor, or vice versa. The base stats and requirements remain the same. The change is permanent and will affect all characters who own the gear in question.
Players can also increase the level of their item on any equipped device by obtaining upgrade components and interacting with the NPC who upgrades the item upgrade. It will cost a specific amount of crests as well as Valorstones depending on the upgrade track and the item kind. In the case of weapons, each step up will add 5% to its damage.
An upgrade can boost its power however, it can reduce its effectiveness. It is therefore essential to find a balance between these two. Certain items aren’t worth upgrading, while other items require upgrading to reach their full potential. For instance, a player might decide to upgrade a piece of breakpoint armor with an interesting modifier (% chance to block or FHR) to see what it can become.
The primary reason why people are able to reroll in Genshin Impact, or in any gacha-based game, is because they are trying to get a specific character or weapon that they can’t otherwise obtain. The process of obtaining these items can be expensive and time-consuming, and the RNG gods aren’t always willing to cooperate. The only alternative is to spend real money or grind a lot. Rerolling is extremely popular in Genshin Impact.
Leveling
You can choose whether to upgrade the weapon or armor when you upgrade items an item. However, this feature is absolutely nothing in the current game. I believe this feature was designed to give value to expensive and rare items. However, as most items are replaced quite quickly, and it can only be leveled up to a certain level, you will generally replace it before it gets too old. It’s also not worth upgrading items with gem sockets, as the power of the gem will outweigh any increment in ilvl.
When you click the upgrade button on an item, you will get a small screen with the upgrade template for the item and the crest and Valorstone costs to boost the level of the item. Weapons and armor will have different prices, with the latter usually being more expensive. The upgrade template outlines the stats that will be added to the upgraded item. It will also list its current ilvl.
The Crest and Valorstone costs are calculated according to the item’s current ilvl as well as the upgrade template. Additionally the ilvl of the new upgraded item will be reduced by the template’s lvl decrease percentage. For example weapons with an increase of 8% will reduce its value by 8-8%.
The item will receive upgrades to other stats, like critical strike damage, PvE damage, and block, parry, and dodge rating, in addition to the base level. The increases are also dependent on the upgrade template.
In the upgrade template, you can see the amount of damage or defense an item will suffer after being leveled up. This is listed below the cost and the upgrade percentages. In addition to equipment for practice, all armor and weapons gain the same stats when they are upgraded. The value of these additional stats will be determined by the market, with a perfectly perfectly rolled weapon or piece of armor can command significantly higher trade values than non-upp’d versions. The same applies to other armor pieces like circlets and Tiaras.
