20 Things You Need To Know 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 allows you to improve it without having to rely on expensive trades or drops. This article will teach you how to upp your items effectively.

Upgrades to equipment provide an additional bonus to the item's stats. The bonus is according to the rarity and level 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 item-spheres. They can also be rescued from equipment that has them, or through a high-tier salvage kit such as the Black Lion Salvage Kit or Ascended Salvage Tool. Upgrade components cannot be destroyed when you remove them from the item.

Upgrade components are primarily used to improve an item but they can also be used for other reasons. They can be used to increase the level of an upgradeable item, or they can be used to enhance the experience gained when upgrading an existing weapon or piece of equipment. They can also be made to offer additional benefits. For instance, a specially designed glyph will increase the upgrade chance of its target, and the boost upgrade can increase the attack or defense attribute of a weapon or armor.

Selecting an upgrade template in 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 for selecting an upgrade template. In either case, the item will be upgraded when enough upgrade components have been collected.

Each component has a unique experience multiplier. This determines the amount of experience an item can gain when upgraded using that component. Organic components, like, have more experience multipliers than mechanical components. You should upgrade the organic components first, until you reach the next rank in the weapon or equipment, and then switch to the mechanical upgrades.

In addition to the multiplier of experience, each item also has a maximum number of upgrades it can receive. The number of items that can be upgraded is determined by their upgradeable rank and the kind of upgrade they can get. The highest level of upgrade is a weapon with tier 10. However, the most commonly used upgrades for weapons are a 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 one time, and each upgrade boosts the guaranteed bonuses. The first time you upgrade an item or set piece is that it will be given an increase of +1 to its primary stat. On subsequent upgrades the primary stats will be boosted a little further (for instance, +1 to 12+/13+/14+), and each time you upgrade the item upgrade, one of its extra stats is increased randomly.

Upgrading a weapon can also increase its damage base, which could be crucial for certain builds. Weapons cannot be upgraded for greater maximum defence rolls than their base. It is possible to increase the value of certain sets and unique items by upgrading them, however they might not always be superior to a high-level Runeword.

If you're upgrading an item that has a bonus, the item can be rerolled once, and its guarantee will reset to 0. The same amount of power die is used to reroll an item as it would be used to upgrade it. However the new item comes with different bonuses. Upgrading can be done at the NPC [ArmorBoboko. 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. 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. This reward can be rerolled a second time, and the reroll will use the same materials used in the original item.

Rerolling

If players have enough rerolling tokens, they can play rerolling any item they have acquired during the game. If an upgraded item is being rerolled, it can be exchanged for a version that is level 1 of the same item in a different set. Reroll tokens can be purchased at the store for a small sum of in-game currency. They cannot be refunded. The new item upgraded will still have the extra bonuses of the first however its stats will differ also.

In addition to rerolling items players can also change the identification of any item by interfacing with an upgrader NPC. This will change the identity from an armor to a weapon or vice versa, while maintaining its base stats and required attributes. The change is permanent and will affect all characters who own the gear in question.

Players can also boost the level of an item equipped equipment by obtaining upgrade components and communicating with the NPC who upgrades the item. The cost of upgrading will depend on the upgrade track, item type, and the number of crests. In the case of weapons, each step up will add five percent to the damage.

Upgrades can increase the power of an item, however they can also reduce its quality. Therefore, it is crucial to keep both in check. Some items may not be worth upgrading, while others will need to be upgraded in order to realize their potential. One player may wish to upgrade their breakpoint armor using an interesting modifier (% block chance or FHR) to discover what it could become.

Rerolling is a common practice in Genshin Impact and other gacha-based games. People use it to try to obtain a character or weapon that they wouldn't otherwise have. These items can be expensive and time-consuming, and the RNG gods don't always want to play ball. The only alternative is to spend money or grind a lot. This is why rerolling is a very popular choice in Genshin Impact.

Leveling

When upgrading an item upgrader mod you can increase the level of the weapon or armor. But, this feature does absolutely nothing in the current game. I believe it was designed to to increase the value of rare items, but as the majority of gear drops quickly and is only upgraded after a certain amount of levels it is likely that you will replace the item before it becomes old enough. It's not worth it to upgrade items with gem sockets because the power of the gem will outweigh the increased ilvl that comes with the upgrade.

You will see a small window when you click the upgrade option on an item. It will display the template for the item upgrader kit, its crest, and the cost of Valorstone to increase the level of the item. The cost of upgrades will vary based on weapons and armor and the latter typically costing more than the latter. The upgrade template outlines the stats that will be added to an upgraded item upgrader mod, along with its current ilvl.

The cost of the Valorstone and the crest is calculated based on the item's current Ilvl and the upgrade item templates. The ilvl will also be reduced by the upgrade template's lvl reduction percentage. For example an upgrade of 8% will reduce the weapon's ilvl by 8 to 8percent.

In addition to the increase in ilvl base it will also get upgrades in other stats like critical strike damage, PvE damage, dodge, block and parry rating. 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 shown below the upgrade cost and decrease percentages in the upgrade template window. All weapons and armor, except practice equipment, get these stats when they level up. The value of these stats will be dictated by the market, with a perfectly rolled version of a weapon or piece of armor is able to command higher trade values than non-upp'd versions. The same applies to other pieces of armor such as circlets or Tiaras.
