What Freud Can Teach Us About Item Upgrading

Path of Exile Item Upgrading

The most effective way to improve your gear in Path of Exile is through item upgrades. This lets you upgrade your gear without having rely on expensive drops or trades. This article will help you understand how to upgrade your items.

Upgrades in equipment can add a bonus to the item's base stats. This bonus scales according to the rarity and strength of the upgrade component.

Components

Upgrade components are the parts that improve your armor and weapons better. You can find them through destroying enemies, buying them from karma vendors or finding them in the form of item-spheres. They can also be rescued from equipment that contains them, or by utilizing an advanced salvage kit like the Black Lion Salvage Kit or Ascended Salvage Tool. In contrast to other items, upgrade components are not destroyed when removed from an item.

The main purpose of upgrade components is to enable an item to be upgraded but they also serve other functions. They can be stacked in order to boost the level or experience gained by upgrading existing equipment or weapons. They can be made for extra bonuses. A glyph that is crafted can boost the upgrade chances of its target, and a boost upgrade increases the attack or defense attributes of a weapon.

By selecting an upgrade template from the GUI will let you bind it to an item. This will show the upgrade components to which the item can be updated. You can also use the workbench to selecting an upgrade template. In either scenario, an item will be upgraded after enough upgrade components have been gathered.

Each component has a unique experience multiplier. This determines the amount of experience an item will gain when upgraded using that component. Organic components, for example have an increased multiplier of experience than mechanical components. It is therefore best to upgrade using organic components until you reach the experience multiplier for the next rank of the weapon or gear, and then change to mechanical upgrades.

In addition to the multiplier for experience, each item also has an maximum number of upgrades it can receive. The number of items that are upgradeable is determined by their upgradeable rank and the type of upgrade they can receive. The most powerful upgrade is a weapon that is 10th level. The most commonly used upgrade is a gun with tier 6 and an armor upgrade for tier 5.

Sets

A set is a collection of items that share the same bonus. Each item can be upgraded at the minimum 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 further (for example, +1 to 12+/13+/14+) Every time you upgrade the item with an additional stats is increased randomly.

Upgrades can also increase the damage base of a weapon. This could be crucial for certain types of weapons. However, weapons cannot be upgraded to a higher defense level than their base. It is possible to increase the value of certain set and unique items by upgrading them, but they may not always be superior to a higher-level Runeword.

If you are upgrading an item with bonuses, the item can be rerolled once, and its guarantee will reset back to 0. The same amount of power die is used to roll an item as it would be to increase its level. However, the new item has different bonuses. The NPC [Armor] 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 appropriate amount of Minerals and Erons. They can be purchased with Gold at the crafting table or in the Ultra Collection. The NPC will also provide a special reward for each completed tier of the upgrade process. This reward can be rerolled a second time and will use the same materials used in the original item.

Rerolling

If players have enough to reroll tokens, they are able to reroll any item upgrade that they've acquired during the game. When an upgraded item is being rerolled, it can be exchanged for an equivalent version at a level 1 of the same item upgrader mod in another set. Reroll tokens can be purchased at the store for a small amount of in-game currency. They are non-refundable. The new item upgraded will still come with the extra bonuses of the original one, but its stats will differ also.

In addition to rerolling objects, players can also alter the identification of any equipment by interacting with an upgrader NPC. This will change the identification from a weapon to an armor or reverse it. The basic stats and requirements remain the same. The change will be permanent and affect all characters who have the equipment.

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

Upgrades can boost the power of an item, however they can also reduce its quality. It is therefore important to keep both in check. Certain items aren't worth upgrading, while others need to be upgraded to reach their full potential. For example an individual player may 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 become.

The primary reason why people are able to reroll in Genshin Impact, or in any gacha-based game, is because they're trying to obtain a particular 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. The only choices left are to invest real money or grind a lot. This is why rerolling is a popular option in Genshin Impact.

Leveling

You can select whether to upgrade the weapon or armor when upgrading an item. But, this feature does absolutely nothing in the current game. I believe that this feature was created to add some value to expensive and rare items. However, as most gear is replaced fairly quickly, and can only be upgraded to a certain level, you will typically replace it before it is too old. It's not worth it to upgrade items that have gem sockets as the power of the gem will outweigh the increased ilvl that comes with the upgrade.

If you click the upgrade option on an item, you'll 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 item upgrade. The cost will differ between weapons and armor as well, with the former typically costing more than the latter. The upgrade template shows the statistics that will be added to the upgraded item and it also lists the current base ilvl.

The cost of the Valorstone and Crest is calculated using the current Ilvl of the item as well as the upgrade templates. Additionally, the ilvl of the new upgraded item will be reduced by the upgrade template's lvl decrease percentage. For instance an upgrade of 8% can reduce the weapon's ilvl by 8 to 88%.

In addition to the base ilvl increase, the item will also receive upgrades in other stats, such as critical strike damage, PvE damage, dodge, block, and parry rating. Those increases are also built on the upgrade template.

The amount of defense and damage the item will receive when leveled up can be shown below the upgrade cost and decrease percentages in the upgrade template window. Apart from the practice equipment, all other items and armor get these same stats when leveled up. The market will determine the worth of these stats. A weapon or armor with perfect rolls can command an incredibly higher price than a non-upp’d version. The same is true for other armor pieces, such as circlets and tiaras.
