14 Misconceptions Common To Item Upgrading

Path of Exile Item Upgrading

The most effective way to improve your equipment in Path of Exile is through upgrade of your items. This allows you to upgrade your gear without having depend on costly drops or trades. This article will teach you how to upgrade your items.

Upgrades to equipment provide an increase in the item's stats. This bonus is based on the upgrade component level and rarity.

Components

Upgrade components are the things that make your weapons and armor more effective. You can locate them through destroying enemies, buying them from karma vendors, or finding them in the form of item Upgrader kit-spheres. They can also be rescued from equipment with them or by using the highest-quality salvage kits such as the Black Lion Salvage Kit or Ascended Salvage Tool. Upgrade components aren't destroyed when they are removed 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 boost the value of an item that can be upgraded or they can be used to increase the amount of experience gained from upgrading an existing weapon or piece of gear. They can also be made to offer additional benefits. A glyph that is crafted can boost the upgrade chances of its target while a boost upgrade increases the defense or attack capabilities of the weapon.

Selecting an upgrade template in the GUI will allow you to bind it to an item. This will show the upgrade components to which the item can be updated. Alternately, you can utilize the workbench to select an upgrade template. In either scenario, the item will be upgraded when enough upgrade components are gathered.

Each component has a distinct experience multiplier that affects how much more experience an item receives when it upgrades with the component. Organic components, for instance, have more experience multipliers than mechanical components. It is therefore recommended to upgrade using organic components until you have reached the experience multiplier of the next rank of equipment or weapon, and then switch to mechanical upgrades.

In addition to the experience multiplier Each item also comes with an maximum number of upgrades it can receive. The number of upgrades are determined by the rank that can be upgraded and the upgrade type of the upgradeable item. The highest upgrade possible is a weapon with tier 10. However, the most common weapon upgrades are an tier 6 weapon as well as a tier 5 armor upgrade.

Sets

A set is a collection of items which share a bonus. Each item can be upgraded at minimum once. The upgrade will increase the guaranteed bonuses. The first time you upgrade an item, its initial stat will be +1. In subsequent upgrades, the primary stats will be boosted a bit further (for instance, +1 to 12+/13+/14+), and each time you upgrade the item, one of its extra stats is increased randomly.

Upgrades to a weapon may increase its damage base, which can be necessary for certain builds. Weapons can't be upgraded for an increased maximum defence roll than their base. It is a good method to increase the value of some set and unique items, however it's important to note that they're not necessarily superior to a high-level runeword in any build.

If you're upgrading an item that has bonuses, the item upgrade can be rerolled a single time, and its guarantee will reset back to 0. The same power die is used to reroll an item, just as it would be to upgrade it. 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 need a power die of each type (Dice 4 or 6 drop from monsters 21+ and Giants; dice 7 drops from bosses) and the right amount of Minerals and Erons. These are available at the crafting table or in the Ultra Collector and are available for purchase with Gold. NPCs also offer special rewards for each stage 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 tokens for rerolling, they can reroll any item that they've acquired during the game. If an item is rerolled, it will be replaced by the same level in another set. Reroll tokens can be purchased from the store for an amount of in-game currency, however they are not refundable. The new item will have the same bonus features like the first, however the stats will also be different.

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

The player can also upgrade the level of an item for any equipment that is equipped. This can be done by talking to an upgrader NPC and obtaining upgrade items. It will cost a specific amount of crests as well as Valorstones according to the upgrade track and the item type. For weapons, each step will add an additional five percent to the damage.

Upgrades can increase the power of an item level upgrade, but they also can decrease its quality. It is therefore important to strike a balance between the two. Certain items might not be worth upgrading however, others will need to be upgraded to realize their potential. For instance an individual player may want to upgrade a piece of breakpoint armor that comes with an interesting modifier ( percent chance of blocking or FHR) to discover what it could become.

The primary reason why people reroll in Genshin Impact, or in any gacha-based game, is because they're trying to obtain a particular weapon or character that they wouldn't otherwise be able to acquire. The process of obtaining these items can be costly and time-consuming and the RNG gods aren't always willing to play ball. The only alternatives are to spend money or grind for a long time. This is why rerolling is a popular option in Genshin Impact.

Leveling

You can select whether to upgrade the weapon or armor when you upgrade an item. This feature isn't available in the current version of the game. I think this feature was intended to give value to expensive and rare items. However, as most gear is replaced fairly quickly, and can only be upgraded one level, you'll usually replace it before it gets too old. It's also not worthwhile to level items that have gem sockets as the power of the gem will far outweigh the increase in ilvl with the upgrade.

When you click the upgrade button on an item upgrader, you will be presented with a small window displaying the upgrade template of the item as well as the cost of Valorstone and crest to increase the level of the item. Armor and weapons have different costs, with the latter typically being more costly. The upgrade template shows the stats that will be added to the upgraded item. It will also list its current base ilvl.

The crest and Valorstone costs are calculated according to the current ilvl of the item and the upgrade template. The ilvl is also decreased by the upgrade templates reduction percentage of lvl. For example, a weapon with an increase of 8% will reduce its ilvl by 8 - 8 percent.

The item will get upgrades to other stats, such as critical strike damage, PvE damage and block, parry, and dodge rating, in addition to the base ilvl. These upgrades are also based on the upgrade template.

The amount of damage and defense that the item is able to receive when it is leveled can be seen below the cost and upgrade 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 additional stats will be determined by the market, with a perfectly rolled weapon or piece of armor able to command much more trade value than non-upp'd versions. The same is true for other armor pieces, such as circlets and Tiaras.
