Path of Exile Item Upgrading
In Path of Exile, item upgrading is among the best ways to improve your equipment without relying on massive drops or trade. This article will teach you how to upp your items effectively.
Upgrading equipment grants an additional bonus to the item's base stats. The bonus increases with upgrade component level and rarity.
Components
Upgrade components make your armour and weapons better. They can be obtained by fighting off enemies, locating them in item spheres, or buying them from karma dealers. You can also get them from equipment that has the components or by using high-end salvage kits like Black Lion Salvage Kit and Ascended Salvage Tool. Unlike most other items, upgrade components are not destroyed when removed from an item.
Upgrade components are mostly used to upgrade an item, however, they can also be used for other reasons. item upgrader can be stacked in order to boost the level or experience gained from upgrading existing equipment or weapons. They can also be made to offer additional benefits. A glyph that is crafted can boost the upgrade chances of its target while a boost upgrade increases the defense or attack capabilities of weapons.
By selecting an upgrade template from the GUI will let you bind it to an item. This will display the upgrade components to which the item can be upgraded. Alternately, you can use the workbench to select an upgrade template. In either scenario, the item will be upgraded once enough upgrade components are collected.
Each component has a unique experience multiplier. This determines the amount of experience an item will gain when upgraded using the component. Organic components, for instance have more experience multipliers than mechanical components. Therefore, it is recommended to upgrade using organic components until you reach the multiplier of experience for the next rank of the weapon or gear, and then change to mechanical upgrades.
Each item has an upgrade limit number that can be received. The number of upgrades are determined by the upgradeable rank and the type of upgrade for the upgradeable item. For instance, the most expensive possible weapon upgrade is a tier 10 weapon. The most commonly used upgrade is a gun with tier 6 and an armor upgrade of tier 5.
Sets
A set is a collection of items that have bonuses. Each item can be upgraded at the least once. The upgrade will increase the guaranteed bonuses. When you first upgrade an item, its primary stat will be +1. In subsequent upgrades the stats of the primary one will be boosted a bit more (for example, +1 up to 12+/13+/14+) Every time you upgrade the item, one of its extra stats is increased randomly.
Upgrades can also boost the base damage of a weapon. This can be crucial for certain types of builds. However, weapons cannot be upgraded to have a greater defense base than their normal base. Upgrades can be a great way to improve the value of certain sets and unique items, but it is important to keep in mind that they might not be better than a high-level runeword in any build.
If the item you're upgrading has a guarantee bonus that is guaranteed, it can be rerolled once and the guarantee will reset to 0. Rerolling is the same amount of power dice as leveling an item, however the new item will have various bonuses. The NPC [ArmorBoboko Boboko can upgrade your armor in Central Flarine. To upgrade an item, you'll require a power dice of each kind (Dice 4 or 6 drop from monsters 21+ and Giants; dice 7 drops from bosses) and the right amount of Minerals and Erons. These are available at the crafting table or in the Ultra Collector, and can be purchased with Gold. The NPCs will also offer special rewards for each stage of the upgrade process. This reward can be rerolled one time with the same materials as the original item.
Rerolling
If players have enough tokens for rerolling, they can reroll any item that they've acquired during the game. When an upgraded item gets rerolled, it will be exchanged for the version that is level 1 of the same item in another set. Reroll tokens can be purchased in the store for a small amount of in-game currency. They are non-refundable. The new item upgraded will still have the extra benefits of the previous one however its stats will be different as well.
In addition to rerolling items players can also change the identification of any equipment by interfacing with an upgrader NPC. This will change the identification as a weapon to armor or reverse it. The base stats and requirements will remain the same. The change will be permanent and affect all characters that own the gear.
Players can also boost the item level of any equipped equipment by obtaining upgrade components and interacting with the upgrader NPC of the item. This will cost a set number of crests and Valorstones dependent on the upgrade track and kind. In the case of weapons, each step will add an additional 5percent to the damage.
Upgrading an item will make it more powerful however, it can also decrease its quality. It is therefore important to strike a balance between the two. Some items may not be worth upgrading at all however, others will need to be upgraded in order to maximize their potential. For instance, a player might decide to upgrade a piece of breakpoint armor that comes with an interesting modifier ( percent chance of blocking or FHR) to see what it can be.
The main reason people play rerolls in Genshin Impact, or in any gacha-based game, is that they're trying to acquire a certain weapon or character that they can't otherwise obtain. These items can be time-consuming and expensive to obtain, and the RNG isn't always a good fit. The only choices left are to spend real cash or grind lots. 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. However, this feature does absolutely nothing in the current game. I believe it was intended to be a way to increase the value of rare items, but because the majority of gear drops quickly and can only be upgraded after a certain amount of levels, you'll usually replace the item before it gets old enough. It's also not worthwhile to upgrade items with gem sockets since the value of the gem will outweigh the increase in ilvl with the upgrade.
You will see a small window when you click on the upgrade option for an item. It will show the item's template, the Crest, as well as the Valorstone cost to raise the item's level. Full Post and weapons will have different costs, with the latter typically being more costly. The upgrade template shows the stats that will be added to the upgraded item and also lists its current base ilvl.
The crest and Valorstone costs are calculated according to the item's current ilvl as well as the upgrade template. The ilvl is also decreased by the upgrade templates reduction percentage for lvl. For instance weapons with an upgrade decrease of 8% will reduce its count by 8-8%.
The item will receive upgrades to other stats, such as 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.
The amount of damage and defense that the item will receive when leveled up can be observed below the upgrade cost and decrease percentages in the upgrade template window. All armor and weapons apart from practice equipment get these stats when they level up. The market will determine the value of these stats. A weapon or armor that has perfect rolls can fetch a much higher price than a non-upp’d version. Similar is the case for other pieces of armor such as tiaras and circlets.
