In Path of Exile, item upgrading is one of the most effective ways to upgrade your equipment without relying on big-ticket drops or trade. This article will teach you how to upgrade your gear.
Upgrades to equipment grant an additional bonus to the item's stats. The bonus increases with upgrade component's level and rarity.
Components
Upgrade components make your armour and weapons better. You can locate them through destroying enemies, buying them from karma sellers or finding them in items-spheres. They can also be rescued from equipment with them or by using an advanced salvage kit such as the Black Lion Salvage Kit or Ascended Salvage Tool. Contrary to other products upgrades aren't destroyed when removed from an item.
Upgrade components are mostly used to improve an item however, they can also be used for other purposes. They can be stacked to increase the level of experience gained from upgrading existing weapons or gear. They can be forged for extra bonuses. A glyph that has been crafted can increase the upgrade chances of its target while boost upgrades increase the defense or attack capabilities of weapons.
Selecting an upgrade template in the GUI will let you bind it to an Best item upgrader. This will display an upgrade component list that the item can be upgraded to. You can also make use of the workbench to choose an upgrade template. In either case, the item will be upgraded after enough upgrade components are collected.
Each component is assigned an experience multiplier. This determines how much experience an item can gain when upgraded using that component. Organic components, for instance have more experience multipliers than mechanical components. It is recommended to upgrade your organic components first until you reach the next rank in the weapon or equipment, and then move on to mechanical upgrades.
In addition to the experience multiplier Each item also comes with a maximum number of upgrades that it can receive. The number of items that can be upgraded is determined by their upgradeable rank, and the kind of upgrade they are able to receive. The most powerful upgrade is a weapon with the tier 10. However, the most common weapon upgrades are the tier 6 weapon and an armor upgrade of tier 5.
Sets
A set is a collection of items which all have the same bonus. Each item in the set can be upgraded at least one time, and the upgrade will increase its 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 increased a bit further (for instance, +1 to 12+/13+/14+) Each time you upgrade the item it will have one of its additional stats is boosted randomly.
The upgrade of a weapon can increase its damage base, which may be crucial for certain builds. However, weapons cannot be upgraded to a higher defense base than their normal base. It is possible to increase value of specific sets and unique items by upgrading them, but they're not always superior to a higher-level Runeword.
If you're upgrading an item with bonuses it can be rerolled a single time, and its guarantee will reset to 0. The same power die is used to roll an item, just as it would be used to level it up. However, the new item has different bonuses. The NPC [ArmorBoboko Boboko can upgrade your armor in Central Flarine. To upgrade an item, you will require the required amount of Minerals and Erons, as well as a power dice of each type. They can be purchased with Gold at the crafting table or in the Ultra Collection. The NPC will also offer an extra reward for each completed tier of the upgrade process. This reward can be rerolled once, and the reroll will be made using the same materials used in the original item.
Rerolling
A player can play rerolling any item that they acquire during the game, provided they have enough reroll tokens. If an item is rerolled, it will be replaced with the same level in another set. Reroll tokens are available from the store for an amount of in-game currency. However, they cannot be refunded. The new item will come with the same bonus features as the previous one, but the stats will differ.
Players can change the identity of their equipment, in addition to rerolling it by interacting with an upgrader NPC. This will change the identity from a weapon to armor or vice versa, all the while maintaining its base stats and required attributes. The change is permanent and will affect all characters who are wearing the gear.
The player can also upgrade their item level for any equipment that is equipped. This can be done by interacting with an upgrader NPC and obtaining upgrade items. This will cost a certain number of crests and Valorstones according to the upgrade track and item type. For weapons, each step will add an additional 5percent to the damage.
An upgrade can make it more powerful however, it can also decrease its quality. It is therefore important 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. For instance one player might wish 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 common practice in Genshin Impact and other gacha-based games. People do it to gain access to an item or character they cannot otherwise get. These items can be costly and time-consuming to acquire, and the RNG does not always work in a positive way. The only choices left is to shell out real money or grind for a long time. Rerolling is very popular in Genshin Impact.
Leveling
When upgrading an item upgrade, you can pick to upgrade the weapon or armor. However, this feature is absolutely nothing in the current game. I think this feature was intended to add some value to expensive and rare items. However, since the majority of equipment is replaced quickly and can only be upgraded by one level, you'll usually replace it before it gets too old. It's not worth it 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 option on an item, you will be presented with a small window displaying the upgrade template for the item and the cost of Valorstone and crest to increase the item level. The cost will differ between weapons and armor and the latter typically costing more than the latter. The upgrade template lists the stats that will be added to an upgraded item, along with its current ilvl.
The crest and Valorstone costs are calculated by analyzing the item's current ilvl as well as the upgrade template. Additionally the ilvl of a new upgraded item will be decreased by the template's lvl reduction percentage. For example an upgrade of 8% will decrease the weapon's ilvl by 8 to 88%.
In addition to the increase in ilvl base, the item will also get upgrades in other stats like critical strike damage, damage from PvE and block, parry and dodge rating. These increases are built on the upgrade template.
The amount of defense and damage the item receives when it is leveled can be observed below the cost and upgrade decrease percentages in the upgrade template window. All armor and weapons, except 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 fetch an incredibly higher price than a non-upp’d version. The same applies to other pieces of armor like tiaras or circlets.
