Path of Exile Item Upgrading
In Path of Exile, item upgrading is one of the best ways to upgrade your gear without relying upon massive drops or trade. This article will show you how to upgrade your gear.
Upgrades to equipment grant an increase in the item's stats. The bonus increases with upgrade component level and rarity.
Components
Upgrade components can make your armour and weapons stronger. You can acquire them by the destruction of enemies, finding them in item spheres or buying them from karma merchants. You can also salvage them from equipment that contains the components or by using high-end salvage kits like Black Lion Salvage Kit and Ascended Salvage Tool. In contrast to other items, upgrade components are not destroyed when they are removed from an item.
Upgrade components are mostly used to upgrade an item however, they can also be used for other purposes. They can be used to increase the level of experience gained from upgrading existing weapons or gear. 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 the weapon.
Selecting an upgrade template in the GUI will allow you to connect it to an item. This will show an upgrade component list that the item can be upgraded to. You can also use the workbench for selecting 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 the amount of experience an item will gain when it upgrades with that component. Organic components, for example have a higher multiplier of experience than mechanical components. You should upgrade organic components first until you reach the next rank in the weapon or equipment and then switch to the mechanical upgrades.
Each item comes with an upgrade maximum number that is available for. The number of upgradeable items is determined by their upgradeable rank, and the kind of upgrade they are able to receive. The highest upgrade possible is a weapon of tier 10. The most popular weapon upgrade is a tier 6 gun and a armor upgrade of tier 5.
Sets
A set is a collection of objects which all have the same bonus. Each item can be upgraded at the minimum once. The upgrade boosts the bonuses that are guaranteed. The first time you upgrade an item or set piece is that it will be given an increase of +1 to its primary stat. After subsequent upgrades the primary stats will be increased a bit more (for instance, +1 to 12+/13+/14+) Every time you upgrade the item it will have one of its additional stats will be increased randomly.
Upgrades can also boost the damage base of a weapon. This can be crucial for certain builds. However, weapons can't be upgraded to have a higher defense base than their base. It's possible to increase the value of specific sets and unique items by upgrading them, but they're not always better than a Runeword with a high level.
If you're upgrading an item with bonuses the item can be rerolled a single time and the guarantee will reset to zero. Rerolling costs the same amount of power dice as the process of leveling an item, however the new item will have additional bonuses. Upgrades can be completed at the NPC [Armorthe ] Boboko in the Central Flarine. To upgrade an item, you will require the proper amount of Minerals and Erons as well as a power dice of each type. These can be purchased by using Gold at the crafting table, or in the Ultra Collection. The NPC will also offer an extra reward for each tier of the upgrade process. This reward can be rerolled once and will be made using the same materials as the original item.
Rerolling
If players have enough to reroll tokens, they are able to roll any item they've accumulated during the game. When an upgraded item is being rerolled, it can be exchanged for a level 1 version of the same item from a different set. Reroll tokens can be purchased from the store for an amount of in-game currency, but they cannot be refunded. The new item upgraded will have the same benefits of the previous one however, its stats will differ too.
In addition to rerolling objects, players can also change the identity of any equipment by interacting with an upgrader NPC. This will change its identification from a weapon to an armor or reverse it. The base requirements and stats remain the same. The change is permanent and will affect all characters who own the gear in question.
The player can also upgrade the level of an item for any equipment that is equipped. This is accomplished by engaging with an upgrader NPC and obtaining upgrade items. The cost will vary depending on the upgrade track, the item type, and the number of crests. For weapons, each step up will add 5% to its damage.
Upgrades can boost the effectiveness of an item, however they also decrease the quality of an item. It is therefore essential to find a balance between these two. Some items aren't worth upgrading, whereas others need to be upgraded to reach their full potential. For instance an individual player may wish to upgrade a piece of breakpoint armor that comes with an interesting modifier (% chance to block or FHR) to explore the possibilities of what it can become.
The primary reason why people reroll in Genshin Impact, or in any gacha-based game, is because they are trying to acquire a certain weapon or character that they can't otherwise obtain. These items can be costly and time-consuming to obtain and the RNG doesn't always play nice. The only options is to shell out real money or grind a lot. Rerolling is very popular in Genshin Impact.
Leveling
You can decide to upgrade the weapon or armor when you upgrade an item. This feature is not available in the current version of the game. I think it was meant to to add value to rare items, but since gear in general drops fairly quickly and is only upgraded after a certain amount of levels it is likely that you will replace the item before it becomes old enough. It's not worth it to upgrade items that have gem sockets since the value of the gem will be greater than the increased ilvl that comes with the upgrade.
When item upgrader click the upgrade option on an item, you will see a small window with the item's upgrade template and the crest and Valorstone costs to increase the level of the item. The costs will vary between armor and weapons and the latter typically costing more than the latter. The upgrade template outlines the statistics that will be added to the upgraded item and will also list its current ilvl.
The cost of the Valorstone and Crest is calculated using the current Ilvl of the item and the upgrade templates. The ilvl will also be decreased by the upgrade templates reduction percentage for lvl. For example, an upgrade of 8% will reduce the weapon's ilvl by 8 to 8percent.
The item will be upgraded to other stats, such as critical strike damage, PvE damage, and block, parry and dodge rating in addition to the base ilvl. These increases are dependent 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. All armor and weapons apart from practice equipment get these stats once they've been leveled up. The value of these additional stats will be dictated by the market, with a perfectly rolled version of a weapon or piece of armor is able to command higher trade values than non-upp'd versions. The same applies to other pieces of armor, like tiaras and circlets.
