What Freud Can Teach Us About Item Upgrading

Path of Exile item upgrade Upgrading

The most effective way to upgrade your gear in Path of Exile is through upgrade of your items. This allows you to improve it without having to rely on expensive trades or drops. This article will teach you how to upp your items efficiently.

Upgrades in equipment can add a bonus to the item's base stats. The amount of bonus varies according to the rarity and quality of the upgrade component.

Components

Upgrade components are the things that make your weapons and armor better. They can be found by 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 through the highest-quality salvage kits such as the Black Lion Salvage Kit or Ascended Salvage Tool. Upgrade components are not destroyed when they are removed from an item.

The main function of upgrade components is to enable an item to be upgraded, however, they also serve other functions. They can be stacked to boost the level or the amount of experience gained by upgrading weapons or gear. They can also be forged to give additional bonuses. A glyph that has been crafted can increase the chance of upgrading its target while boost upgrades increase the attack or defense capabilities of a weapon.

You can attach an upgrade template to an item by selecting it from the edition GUI. This will display the upgrade components to which the item can be upgraded. 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 gathered.

Each component has its own experience multiplier, which determines the amount of experience an item gets when it upgrades with the component. Organic components, for instance, have a higher multiplier of experience than mechanical components. It is therefore recommended to upgrade with organic components until you have reached the experience multiplier of the next rank of weapon or gear, and then change to mechanical upgrades.

In addition to the multiplier for experience, each item also has the maximum number of upgrades that it can receive. The number of items that are upgradeable is determined by their upgradeable rank and the type of upgrade they can get. For instance, the highest possible weapon upgrade is a weapon of tier 10. However, the most commonly used weapon upgrades are an tier 6 weapon as well as a tier 5 armor upgrade.

Sets

A set is a collection of items that share the same bonus. Each item can be upgraded at minimum once. The upgrade increases the amount of bonuses you can expect to receive. When you first upgrade a set piece or weapon is that it will be given an increase of +1 to its primary stat. After subsequent upgrades, primary stats are increased even more (for instance +1 for 12+/13+/14+) and every time an item is upgraded one of its stats will increase randomly.

The upgrade of a weapon can increase its damage base, which can be important for some builds. However, weapons cannot be upgraded to have a higher defense level than their regular base. It is possible to increase value of certain sets and unique items by upgrading them, but they may not always be superior to a high-level Runeword.

If you are upgrading an item with an added bonus the item can be rerolled once and the guarantee will reset to 0. Rerolling is the same amount of power dice as the process of leveling an item upgrader mod, but the new item will offer additional bonuses. Upgrades can be completed at the NPC [ArmorBoboko. Boboko in the Central Flarine. To upgrade an item you will require the required amount of Minerals and Erons and a power dice of each type. These are available at the crafting table or the Ultra Collector and can be purchased using Gold. NPCs also offer special rewards for each completed level of the upgrade process. The reward can be rerolled one time using the same materials as the original item.

Rerolling

A player can roll any item they have acquired in the game if they have enough reroll tokens to be able to do so. When an upgraded item gets being rerolled, it can be exchanged for the version that is level 1 of the same item from a different set. Reroll tokens can be purchased in the store for a small amount of in-game currency. They cannot be refunded. The new upgraded item will still have the extra benefits of the previous one however its stats will differ as well.

Players can alter the identification of their equipment, in addition to rerolling it by interacting with a NPC upgrader. This will change the identity from an armor to a weapon or vice versa, while keeping its basic stats and the attributes it requires. The change will be permanent and affect all characters that own the gear.

The player can also upgrade their level of an item for any equipment equipped. This can be done by engaging with an upgrader NPC, and then obtaining upgrade items. This will cost a certain amount of crests and Valorstones dependent on the upgrade track and the item kind. For weapons, each step up will add an additional five percent to the damage.

Upgrades can boost the power of an item, however they also can decrease its quality. Therefore, it is important to find a balance between these two. Some items may not be worth upgrading and some will require to be upgraded to realize their potential. For instance, a player might 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 be.

Rerolling is a popular practice in Genshin Impact and other gacha-based games. It is a method used by players in order to get a character or weapon they cannot otherwise get. These items can be expensive and time-consuming, and the RNG gods aren't always willing to play. The only choices left are to invest real money or grind a lot. For this reason, rerolling is a popular option in Genshin Impact.

Leveling

When upgrading an item you can pick to level up the weapon or armor. This feature isn't available in the current version of the game. I believe it was intended to to give some value to rare items, but since the majority of gear drops quickly and is only upgraded once you've reached a certain level, you'll usually replace the item before it becomes too old. It's also not worthwhile to upgrade items with gem sockets as the power of the gem will outweigh the increase in ilvl with the upgrade.

You will be presented with a small box when you click on the upgrade option for an item. It will display the item's template, the Crest, as well as the Valorstone cost to raise the item's level. Armor and weapons will have different costs, with the latter usually being more expensive. The upgrade template outlines the stats that will be added to an upgraded item level upgrade, and also the current ilvl.

The cost of the Valorstone and Crest is calculated using the item's current Ilvl and the upgrade templates. The ilvl is also decreased by the upgrade templates lvl reduction percentage. For instance weapons with an upgrade decrease of 8% will reduce its ilvl by 8 - 8%.

In addition to the base ilvl increase the item will also be upgraded in other stats such as critical strike damage, PvE damage and dodge, block, and parry rating. These increases are also based off the upgrade template.

The amount of defense and damage the item receives when leveled up can be shown below the upgrade cost and decrease percentages in the upgrade template window. All armor and weapons that are not practice equipment get these stats when they level up. The market determines the value of these stats. A weapon or armor with perfect rolls can command an incredibly higher price than a non-upp’d version. Similar is the case for other pieces of armor, like tiaras and circlets.
