The Advanced Guide To Item Upgrading

Path of Exile Item Upgrading

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

Upgrading equipment grants an additional bonus to the item's base stats. This bonus is based on the upgrade component level and rarity.

Components

Upgrade components are the items that improve your armor and weapons more effective. You can get them from destroying enemies, finding them in item spheres or buying them from karma dealers. You can also salvage them from equipment that has the components, or by utilizing salvage kits of high-end quality, such as Black Lion Salvage Kit and Ascended Salvage Tool. Upgrade components cannot be destroyed when you remove them 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 boost the value of an upgradeable item, or they can be used to enhance the experience gained by upgrading an existing weapon or piece of equipment. They can be made for additional bonuses. A crafted glyph can increase the chance of upgrading its target, and an upgrade boosts the defense or attack capabilities of a weapon.

You can connect an upgrade template to an item by selecting it from the edition GUI. It will display the list of upgrade components that the item upgrader can be upgraded to. You can also use the workbench when selecting an upgrade template. In either scenario, the item will be upgraded when enough upgrade components are collected.

Each component has a distinct experience multiplier, which affects the amount of experience an item will gain when it upgrades with the component. For instance, organic components give a higher experience multiplier than mechanical ones. It is recommended to upgrade 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 multiplier for experience, each item also has an 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. For instance, the most expensive possible weapon upgrade is a weapon of tier 10. The most common weapon upgrade is a tier 6 gun and an armor upgrade of tier 5.

Sets

A set is a set of items which all have the same bonus. Each item in the set can be upgraded at least once, and the upgrade increases the amount of bonuses that are guaranteed. When you first upgrade an item, its primary stat will be +1. On subsequent upgrades, primary stats are increased even more (for instance, +1 for 12+/13+/14+) and each time an item is upgraded, one of its additional stats increases randomly.

Upgrades to a weapon may increase the damage base, which may be important for some builds. Weapons can't be upgraded for an increased maximum defence roll than their base. Upgrades can be a great method to increase the value of certain sets and unique items, but it's important to remember that they might not be better than a high-level runeword in any build.

If you're upgrading an item with a bonus the item can be rerolled once and the guarantee will reset back to 0. The same power dies are used to reroll an item upgrade as it would be to level it up. However, the new Best item upgrade has different bonuses. The NPC [Armor] 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. These are available at the crafting table or in the Ultra Collector and can be purchased with Gold. NPCs will also provide special rewards for each stage of the upgrade process. This reward can be rerolled once and will use the same materials as the original Best item upgrade.

Rerolling

A player is able to reroll any item acquired in the game if they have enough tokens to be able to do so. When an item is rerolled it will be replaced with an equivalent level 1 version from another set. Reroll tokens are available in the store for a small sum of in-game currency. They are not refundable. The new item upgraded will have the same benefits of the previous one however its stats will differ too.

Players can alter the identification of their equipment, in addition to rolling it again by interacting with an NPC upgrader. This will change its identification from a weapons to armor, or reverse it. The base requirements and stats remain the same. The change is permanent and will affect all characters who are wearing the gear.

The player can also upgrade the level of an item for any equipped equipment. This is accomplished by talking to an upgrader NPC, and then obtaining upgrade items. The cost of upgrading will depend on the upgrade track, the item type and number of crests. Each step will add an additional 5% of damage to weapons.

An upgrade can make it more powerful however, it can also lower its quality. It is therefore important to balance the two. Some items aren't worth upgrading, while other items need to be upgraded to make them more effective. For example, a player might want to upgrade a piece breakpoint armor that comes with an interesting modifier (% chance to block or FHR) to see what it can become.

The primary reason people reroll in Genshin Impact, or in any gacha-based game, is because they are trying to acquire a certain weapon or character that they can't otherwise obtain. These items can be costly and time-consuming, and the RNG gods don't always want to cooperate. The only choices left are to invest real money or grind lots. This is why rerolling is a popular option in Genshin Impact.

Leveling

When upgrading an item you can choose to increase the level of the weapon or armor. This feature is not available in the current version of the game. I believe this feature was designed to increase the value of rare and expensive items. However, since most gear is replaced fairly quickly and can only be leveled up one level, you'll generally replace it before it gets too old. It's also not worth it to upgrade items that have gem sockets as the power of the gem will outweigh the increased ilvl that comes with the upgrade.

If you click the upgrade option on an item, you'll get a small screen with the upgrade template for the item and the cost of crest and Valorstone to boost the level of the item. Armor and weapons have different costs, with the former generally being more expensive. The upgrade template outlines the stats to be added to an upgraded item, as well as its current ilvl.

The Crest and Valorstone costs are calculated based on the item's current ilvl as well as the upgrade template. The ilvl is also reduced by the upgrade template's reduction percentage of lvl. For example an upgrade of 8% will decrease the ilvl of a weapon by 8 to 88%.

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

The amount of defense and damage the item is able to receive when it is leveled can be observed below the upgrade cost and decrease percentages in the upgrade template window. All armor and weapons apart from practice equipment gain these stats upon leveling up. The market will determine the value of these stats. A weapon or armor with perfect rolls can fetch a much higher price than a non-upp’d version. The same applies to other pieces of armor, such as circlets and Tiaras.
