Path of Exile Item Upgrading

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

Upgrades to equipment provide a bonus to the Best item upgrade's base stats. This bonus scales with the upgrade component level and rarity.

Components

Upgrade components make your armour and weapons better. You can get them from fighting off enemies, locating them in item spheres, or buying them from karma dealers. They can also be rescued from equipment with them, or by utilizing a high-tier salvage kit such as the Black Lion Salvage Kit or Ascended Salvage Tool. Upgrade components aren't destroyed by removing them from the item level upgrade.

The main function of upgrade components is to enable an item to be upgraded, but they also serve other functions. They can be stacked in order to increase the level of the amount of experience gained by upgrading weapons or gear. They can also be forged to give additional bonuses. For example, a crafted glyph will boost the upgrade chance of its target, and an upgrade boost will boost the defense or attack property of a weapon, or armor.

Selecting an upgrade template from the GUI will allow you to bind it to an item. It will display an upgrade component list that the item can be upgraded to. Alternatively, you can utilize the workbench to select an upgrade template. In either scenario, an item will be upgraded when enough upgrade components have been gathered.

Each component has a distinct experience multiplier, which determines how much more experience an item receives when it is upgraded with the component. For instance, organic components offer an experience multiplier that is higher than mechanical ones. It is recommended to upgrade the organic components first, until you reach the next level in the weapon or equipment and then switch to the mechanical upgrades.

Each item has an upgrade limit number that can be received. The number of upgrades are determined by its upgradeable rank and the type of upgrade for the upgradeable item. The highest upgrade possible is a weapon with the tier 10. However, the most popular upgrades for weapons are the tier 6 weapon and a tier 5 armor upgrade.

Sets

A set is a collection of objects that share the same bonus. Each item can be upgraded at the minimum once. The upgrade increases the amount of bonuses you can expect to receive. The first time you upgrade an item, its initial stat will be +1. On subsequent upgrades, the primary stats will be increased a bit more (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 necessary for certain builds. Weapons aren't upgraded to give an increased maximum defence roll than their base. It is a good option to increase the value of some set and unique items, but it is important to keep in mind that they may not be better than a high-level runeword in any build.

If you are upgrading an item that comes with bonuses the item can be rerolled one time and the guarantee will reset back to 0. The same power dies are used to reroll an item, just as it would be used to upgrade it. However, the new item has different bonuses. The NPC [ArmorBoboko Boboko can upgrade your armor in Central Flarine. To upgrade an item, you'll require a power die of each kind (Dice 4 or 6 drop from monsters 21+ and Giants; dice 7 drops from bosses) and the appropriate amount of Minerals and Erons. These can be purchased with Gold at the crafting table or in the Ultra Collection. The NPC will also provide a special reward for every tier that is completed of the upgrade process. This reward can be rerolled a second time and the reroll will be made using the same materials as the original item.

Rerolling

A player is able to play rerolling any item that they acquire in the game if they have enough reroll tokens to be able to do so. When an item is rerolled it will be replaced by a level 1 version in another set. Reroll tokens can be purchased from the store for small amounts of in-game currency, however they cannot be refunded. The new item will have the same bonus features as the original, but the statistics will also be different.

Players can change the identification of their equipment, in addition to rerolling it by interacting with a NPC upgrader. The equipment's identification will change as a weapon to armor or reverse it. Its base requirements and stats will remain the same. The change is permanent and will affect all characters that own the gear in question.

The player can also upgrade the level of an item for any equipped equipment. This is done by engaging with an upgrader NPC and obtaining upgrade components. The cost will differ based on the upgrade track, the item type, and the number of crests. In the case of weapons, each upgrade will add an additional 5% to its damage.

Upgrades can boost the effectiveness of an item, but they also decrease its quality. It is therefore essential to find a balance between these two. Some items aren't worth upgrading, while other items need to be upgraded to reach their full potential. A player may want to upgrade breakpoint armor with an interesting modifier ( percent block chance, or FHR) to see what else it can become.

Rerolling is a popular practice in Genshin Impact and other gacha-based games. It is a method used by players to try to obtain the character or weapon they cannot otherwise get. The process of obtaining these items can be expensive and time-consuming and the RNG gods aren't always willing to cooperate. The only other options are to spend money or grind for a long time. Rerolling is very popular in Genshin Impact.

Leveling

When upgrading an item, you can choose to increase the level of the weapon or armor. However, this feature does absolutely nothing in the current game. I think it was meant to to add value to rare items, but because equipment generally drops quickly and is only upgraded one level up and you'll typically replace the item before it becomes too old. It's not worth it to upgrade items (read the full info here) with gem sockets since the value of the gem will outweigh the increased ilvl that comes with the upgrade.

You will see a small window when you click on the upgrade option on an item. It will display the item's template, the crest, and the Valorstone cost to raise the level of the item. The cost of upgrades will vary based on weapons and armor, with the former usually costing more than the latter. The upgrade template outlines the statistics that will be added to the upgraded item. It it also lists the current base ilvl.

The Crest and Valorstone costs are calculated by analyzing the item's current ilvl as well as the upgrade template. The ilvl is also reduced by the upgrade templates lvl reduction percentage. For instance an upgrade of 8% will reduce the weapon's ilvl by 8 to 8%.

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

In the upgrade template you can see the amount of damage or defense the item will be able to sustain when it is upgraded. This is shown below the cost and the upgrade percentages. In addition to practice equipment, all items and armor get the same stats once upgraded. The value of these additional stats will be dictated by the market, with a perfectly rolled weapon or piece of armor can command significantly higher trade values than non-upp'd versions. The same applies to other armor pieces, like tiaras and circlets.
