Path of Exile Item Upgrading
In Path of Exile, item upgrading is one of the best ways to upgrade 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. This bonus is based on the upgrade component level and rarity.
Components
Upgrade components can make your weapons and armour better. You can find them by destroying enemies, buying them from karma vendors or finding them in the form of item-spheres. You can also get them from equipment that has the components, or by utilizing salvage kits of high-end quality, such as Black Lion Salvage Kit and Ascended Salvage Tool. Upgrade components aren't destroyed when you remove them from the item.
Upgrade components are mostly used to improve an item however, they can also be used for other purposes. They can be stacked to boost the level or experience gained from upgrading existing equipment or weapons. They can be forged to give additional bonuses. For instance, a specially crafted glyph will boost the chance of upgrading its target, and an upgrade boost will boost the defense or attack quality of a weapon or armor.
You can bind an upgrade template to an item by selecting it from the edition GUI. This will show an upgrade component list that the item can be upgraded to. You can also use the workbench to select an upgrade template. In either case, an item will be upgraded when enough upgrade components have been collected.
Each component has a unique experience multiplier. This determines how much experience an item can gain when upgraded using the component. Organic components, for instance have a higher multiplier of experience than mechanical components. It is recommended to upgrade organic components first until you reach the next level in the weapon or equipment, then switch to mechanical upgrades.
In addition to the multiplier of experience, each item also has an maximum number of upgrades that it can receive. The number of upgradeable items is determined by their upgradeable rank and the kind of upgrade they can receive. The highest upgrade possible is a weapon with tier 10. However, the most popular weapon upgrades are a tier 6 weapon and an armor upgrade of tier 5.
Sets
A set is a collection of items that share the benefit of. Each item in the set can be upgraded at least once, and each upgrade boosts the guaranteed bonuses. When you first upgrade an item, its primary stat will be +1. On subsequent upgrades, the primary stats will be enhanced even more (for instance +1 for 12+/13+/14+) and every time an item is upgraded, one of its stats will increase randomly.
Upgrades can also boost a weapon's damage base. This may be important for certain types of builds. Weapons can't be upgraded for greater maximum defence rolls than their base. It's possible to increase the value of certain set and unique items by upgrading them, however they may not always be superior to a higher-level Runeword.
If an item you're upgrading comes with a guaranteed bonus that is guaranteed, it can be rerolled only once and the guarantee will be reset to 0. The same power dies are used to roll an item, just as it would be to increase its level. However the new item comes with different bonuses. The NPC [ArmorBoboko Boboko can upgrade your armor in Central Flarine. To upgrade an item, you will require the required amount of Minerals and Erons, as well as a power dice of each type. These can be bought by using Gold at the crafting table, or in the Ultra Collection. The NPC will also offer an extra reward for every tier that is completed of the upgrade process. This reward can be rerolled a single time, using the same materials as original item.
Rerolling
If a player has enough to reroll tokens, they are able to roll any item they've acquired during the game. If an item is rerolled, it will be replaced with the same level in another set. Reroll tokens can be purchased from the store for a small amount of in-game currency, however they aren't refundable. The new item will offer the same bonus features as the previous one, but the statistics will also differ.
Players can change the identification of equipment in addition to rolling it again by interacting with a NPC upgrader. This will change its identification from a weapons to armor or reverse it. The basic requirements and stats remain the same. The change is permanent and will affect all characters that are wearing the gear.
The player can also upgrade their level of an item for any equipment that is equipped. This can be done by engaging with an upgrader NPC and obtaining upgrade items. This will cost a set amount of crests and Valorstones according to the upgrade track and the item type. Each upgrade will add 5percent more damage to weapons.
Upgrades can increase the effectiveness of an item, however they can also reduce its quality. It is therefore essential to find a balance between the two. Some items aren't worth upgrading, while others need to be upgraded to make them more effective. For instance an individual player may wish to upgrade a piece breakpoint armor that comes with an interesting modifier ( percent chance of blocking or FHR) to see what it can become.
The main reason people reroll in Genshin Impact, or in any gacha-based game, is because they're trying to get a specific character or weapon that they can't otherwise obtain. The process of obtaining these items can be costly and time-consuming, and the RNG gods don't always want to play ball. The only choices left is to shell out real money or grind a lot. Rerolling is a popular feature in Genshin Impact.
Leveling
When upgrading an item, you can choose to level up the weapon or armor. However, this feature does absolutely nothing in the current game. I think it was meant to be a way to increase the value of rare items, but because equipment generally drops quickly and is only upgraded once you've reached a certain level it is likely that you will replace the item before it gets old enough. It's not worth it to level items that have gem sockets because the power of the gem will be greater than the increase in ilvl with the upgrade.
You will see a small box when you click the upgrade option for an item. It will display the template for the item, its Crest, as well as the Valorstone cost to raise the level of the item. Armor and weapons have different costs, with the latter typically being more costly. item upgrades lists the stats that will be added to an upgraded item as well as its current base ilvl.
The Crest and Valorstone costs are calculated by analyzing the item's current ilvl as well as the upgrade template. The ilvl is also reduced by the upgrade templates reduction percentage of lvl. For instance weapons with an 8% upgrade decrease will reduce its ilvl by 8 - 8 percent.
The item will receive upgrades to other stats, like critical strike damage, PvE damages, and block, parry, and dodge rating, in addition to the base ilvl. These enhancements are also based on the upgrade template.
In the upgrade template, you can check the amount of damage or defense the item will suffer after being leveled up. This is shown below the cost as well as the upgrade percentages. In addition to practice equipment, all other armor and weapons gain the same stats once leveled up. The market will determine the value of these stats. A weapon or armor with perfect rolls can fetch an incredibly higher price than an unupp'd version. This is also true for other armor pieces, like tiaras and circlets.
