Path of Exile Item Upgrading

The most effective way to improve your equipment in Path of Exile is through item upgrades (https://longshots.wiki/Wiki/The_Most_Hilarious_Complaints_Weve_Been_Hearing_About_Item_Upgrading). This allows you to enhance your gear without having to rely on expensive drops or trades. This article will show you how to upgrade your gear.

Upgrades to equipment provide an additional bonus to the item's stats. The amount of bonus varies based on the rarity and strength of the upgrade component.

Components

Upgrade components are the parts that improve your armor and weapons better. You can get them from fighting off enemies, locating them in spheres of items or buying them from karma merchants. They can also be salvaged from equipment with them, or through the highest-quality salvage kits like the Black Lion Salvage Kit or Ascended Salvage Tool. Contrary to other products upgrades aren't destroyed when they are removed from an item.

Upgrade components are typically used to upgrade an item, but they can also be used for other reasons. They can be used to boost the level or experience gained by upgrading existing equipment or weapons. They can also be forged to offer additional benefits. For example, a created glyph can increase the upgrade chance of its target, while the boost upgrade can enhance the defense or attack attribute of a weapon or armor.

Selecting an upgrade template from the GUI will let you bind it to an item. 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 scenario, an item will be upgraded after enough upgrade components have been gathered.

Each component has a distinct experience multiplier, which determines the amount of experience an item will gain when it is upgraded with the component. Organic components, like have a higher multiplier of experience than mechanical components. It is recommended to upgrade the organic components first, until you reach the next rank in the weapon or equipment, then switch to mechanical upgrades.

Each item has an upgrade limit number that is available for. The number of items that are upgradeable is determined by their upgradeable rank and the type of upgrade they can get. The highest upgrade possible is a weapon of 10th level. However, the most commonly used upgrades for weapons are the tier 6 weapon and a tier 5 armor upgrade.

Sets

A set is a collection of objects that share the same bonus. Each item in the set can be upgraded at least once and the upgrade will increase the amount of bonuses that are guaranteed. The first time you upgrade the set piece or weapon, it will receive an increase of +1 to its primary stat. After subsequent upgrades, primary stats are enhanced even more (for instance +1 for 12+/13+/14+) and each time an item is upgraded, one of its additional stats is increased 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 option to increase the value of a set and unique items, but it's important to remember that they might not be better than a high-level runeword in any build.

If you are upgrading an item with an added bonus, the item can be rerolled a single time, and its guarantee will reset back to 0. Rerolling costs the same amount of power dice as leveling an item, however the new item will offer various bonuses. Upgrades can be made at the NPC [Armor] Boboko in the Central Flarine. To upgrade an item you will require the required amount of Minerals and Erons, as well as a power dice of each kind. They can be purchased with Gold at the crafting table or in the Ultra Collection. NPCs will also provide special rewards for each level of the upgrade process. This reward can be rerolled a second time, and the reroll will use the same materials used in the original item.

Rerolling

If the player has enough to reroll tokens, they are able to reroll any item that they've accumulated during the game. When an upgraded item gets rerolled, it will be exchanged for a version that is level 1 of the same item in another set. Reroll tokens can be purchased in the shop for a small amount of in-game currency. They are not refundable. The new item will have the same bonuses as the original, but the stats will be different.

In addition to rerolling items, players can also change the identification of any item by interacting with an upgrader NPC. The equipment's identification will change as a weapon to armor, or reverse it. Its base stats and requirements will remain the same. The change will be permanent and will affect all characters who have the equipment.

The player can also upgrade their level of the item for any equipment that is equipped. This is done by engaging with an upgrader NPC and obtaining upgrade components. The cost will differ based on the upgrade track, item type, and the number of crests. Each upgrade will add 5percent more damage to weapons.

An upgrade will make it more powerful however, it can also lower its quality. Therefore, it is important to find a balance between these two. Certain items might not be worth upgrading at all and some will require to be upgraded in order to reach their potential. One player may wish to upgrade their breakpoint armor using an interesting modifier ( percent block chance or FHR) to explore what else it can become.

Rerolling is a standard practice in Genshin Impact and other gacha-based games. It is a method used by players to try to obtain an item or character that they wouldn't otherwise have. These items can be costly and time-consuming to obtain and the RNG isn't always a good fit. The only alternative is to spend real money or grind a lot. Rerolling is very popular in Genshin Impact.

Leveling

You can choose whether to upgrade the weapon or armor when you upgrade an item. However, this feature does absolutely nothing in the current game. I believe this feature was intended to add some value to rare and expensive items. However, since most items are replaced quite quickly, and it can only be upgraded to a certain level, you will generally replace it before it gets too old. It is also not worth upgrading items with gem sockets because the power of the stone will outweigh any increase in the level of.

If you click the upgrade option on an item, you will get a small screen with the upgrade template of the item as well as the cost of Valorstone and crest to increase the level of the Best item upgrade. Armor and weapons have different costs, with the latter generally being more expensive. The upgrade item template shows the statistics 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 current ilvl of the item and the upgrade template. Additionally the ilvl of a new upgraded item will be decreased by the template's lvl decrease percentage. For instance, an upgrade of 8% will decrease the weapon's ilvl by 8 to 8%.

The Best item upgrade will be upgraded to other stats, like critical strike damage, PvE damages and block, parry and dodge rating, in addition to the base ilvl. The increases are also built on the upgrade template.

The amount of defense and damage the item will receive when it is leveled can be seen below the upgrade cost and decrease percentages in the upgrade template window. In addition to practice equipment, all other weapons and armor gain the same stats once upgraded. The value of these additional stats will be dictated by the market, with a perfectly perfectly rolled weapon or piece of armor is able to command more trade value than non-upp'd versions. This is also true for other armor pieces, like tiaras and circlets.
