Path of Exile Item Upgrading

In Path of Exile, item upgrading is among the most effective ways to upgrade your equipment without relying on large-ticket drops or trade. This article will teach you how to upp your gear effectively.

Upgrades to equipment grant an increase in the item's stats. The amount of bonus varies depending on the rarity and quality of the upgrade component.

Components

Upgrade components can make your weapons and armour better. You can get them from fighting off enemies, locating them in item spheres or purchasing them from karma sellers. You can also get them from equipment that contains the components or through high-tier salvage kits such as Black Lion Salvage Kit and Ascended Salvage Tool. In contrast to other items upgrade components, upgrade components aren't destroyed when they are removed from an item.

The primary function of upgrade components is to allow an item to be upgraded, but they also serve other functions. They can be stacked to boost the value of an item that can be upgraded or they can be used to enhance the amount of experience gained from upgrading an existing weapon or piece of equipment. They can also be forged to provide extra bonuses. A glyph that is crafted can boost the chance of upgrading its target while an upgrade boosts the defense or attack capabilities of weapons.

By selecting an upgrade template from the GUI will let you bind it to an item. This will display a list of upgrade components that the item can be upgraded to. Alternately, you can utilize the workbench to select an upgrade template. In either instance the item will be upgraded after enough upgrade components have been collected.

Each component has a distinct experience multiplier, which determines the amount of experience an item level upgrade receives when it is upgraded by the component. Organic components, for example, have more experience multipliers than mechanical components. It is therefore recommended to upgrade using organic components until you reach the experience multiplier of the next rank of the equipment or weapon, and then change to mechanical upgrades.

In addition to the experience multiplier every item also has an maximum number of upgrades that it can receive. The number of upgrades available is determined by the rank that can be upgraded and the type of upgrade available to the upgradeable item. For instance, the most expensive possible weapon upgrade is a weapon with tier 10. The most commonly used upgrade is a gun with tier 6 and an armor upgrade of tier 5.

Sets

A set is a collection of items that share bonuses. Each item can be upgraded at minimum once. The upgrade increases the amount of bonuses you can expect to receive. The first time you upgrade an item or set piece will give it a +1 increase to its primary stat. Following upgrades, the primary stats are boosted even further (for instance +1 for 12+/13+/14+) and each time an item is upgraded, one of its additional stats increases randomly.

Upgrades can also boost the base damage of a weapon. This could be crucial for certain types of builds. Weapons can't be upgraded for an increased maximum defence roll than their base. It is possible to increase value of certain sets and unique items by upgrading them, however they might not always be superior to a higher-level Runeword.

If you are upgrading an item that has an added bonus, the item can be rerolled one time, and its guarantee will reset back to 0. Rerolling will cost the same amount of power dice as bringing an item, but the upgraded item will come with different extra bonuses. The NPC [ArmorBoboko Boboko can upgrade your armor in Central Flarine. To upgrade an item, you will need the appropriate amount Minerals and Erons, as well as a power dice of each type. These are available at the crafting table or the Ultra Collector and can be purchased with Gold. The NPC will also give an additional reward for every tier that is completed of the upgrade process. This reward can be rerolled once and will use the same materials as the original item.

Rerolling

If a player has enough rerolling tokens, they can roll any item they've accumulated during the game. If an item is rerolled, it will be replaced by an equivalent level 1 version from another set. Reroll tokens are available in the store for a small amount of in-game currency. They are not refundable. The new item will come with the same extra bonuses as the original, but the statistics will also be different.

Players can change the identity of their equipment, in addition to changing it's roll by interfacing with a NPC upgrader. This will change the identification from a weapon to armor or vice versa, while retaining its base stats and the attributes it requires. The change will be permanent and will affect all characters who have the gear.

The player can also upgrade the level of the item for any equipped equipment. This can be done by talking to an upgrader NPC and obtaining upgrade items. The cost will differ based on the upgrade track, the item type, and the number of crests. For weapons, each step will add 5% to its damage.

Upgrades can increase the power of an item, however they also decrease the quality of an item. It is therefore important to find a balance between these two. Some items are not worth upgrading, whereas others need to be upgraded to reach their full potential. For example one player might want to upgrade a piece breakpoint armor that has an interesting modifier (% chance to block or FHR) to discover what it could be.

Rerolling is a standard practice in Genshin Impact and other gacha-based games. It is a method used by players to gain access to the character or weapon they cannot otherwise get. These items can be expensive and time-consuming and the RNG gods don't always want to play. The only options is to shell out real money or grind for a long time. Rerolling is very popular in Genshin Impact.

Leveling

You can decide to upgrade the weapon or armor when you upgrade an item. 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 as the majority of gear drops quickly and can only be upgraded one level up it is likely that you will replace the item before it gets too old. It's also not worth upgrading items using gem sockets since the power of the gem will outweigh any increment in the ilvl.

You will see a small window when you click on the upgrade option for an item. It will display the template of the item, the Crest, as well as the cost for Valorstone to raise the item level. The cost will differ between weapons and armor as well, with the former typically costing more than the latter. The upgrade template lists the stats that will be added to the upgraded item and also lists its current base ilvl.

The Crest and Valorstone costs are calculated according to the item's current ilvl and the upgrade template. The ilvl will also be reduced by the upgrade templates reduction percentage for lvl. For example the weapon that has an increase of 8% will decrease its count by 8-8 percent.

The Best item upgrade will receive upgrades to other stats like critical strike damage, PvE damages and block, parry, and dodge rating in addition to the base ilvl. The increases are also dependent on the upgrade template.

The amount of defense and damage 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. Apart from the practice equipment, all items and armor get the same stats when they are upgraded. The value of these additional stats will be determined by the market, with a perfectly rolled weapon or piece of armor can command significantly more in trade value than unupp'd versions. This is also true for other armor pieces such as circlets or Tiaras.
