Path of Exile Item Upgrading

The Best item upgrade method to improve your gear in Path of Exile is through upgrade of your items. This allows you to improve it without having to rely on expensive trades or drops. This article will teach you how to upp your items efficiently.

Upgrades to equipment provide an additional bonus to the item's base stats. This bonus scales according to the rarity and level of the upgrade component.

Components

Upgrade components are the things that make your weapons and armor better. You can get them from destroying enemies, finding them in item spheres, or purchasing them from karma sellers. They can also be rescued from equipment that contains them, or by utilizing a high-tier salvage kit like the Black Lion Salvage Kit or Ascended Salvage Tool. Upgrade components cannot be destroyed when you remove them from the item.

Upgrade components are mostly used to improve an item however, they can also be used for other purposes. They can be stacked in order to increase the level of the amount of experience gained by upgrading weapons or gear. They can be made for additional bonuses. A glyph that has been crafted can increase the chances of upgrading its target while boost upgrades increase the attack or defense capabilities of the weapon.

Selecting an upgrade template in the GUI will allow you to connect it to an item. This will show the upgrade components to which the item can be updated. Alternately, you can make use of the workbench to choose an upgrade template. In either scenario, the item will be upgraded once enough upgrade components are collected.

Each component has its own experience multiplier that affects how much more experience an item receives when it is upgraded with that component. Organic components, like have a higher multiplier of experience than mechanical components. It is therefore best to upgrade with organic components until you reach the multiplier of experience for the next rank of the equipment or weapon, and then switch to mechanical upgrades.

Each item has an upgrade maximum number that can be received. The number of upgradeable items is determined by their upgradeable rank and the type of upgrade they can get. For instance, the most expensive possible upgrade for a weapon is a weapon with tier 10. The most commonly used upgrade is a gun with tier 6 and a armor upgrade of tier 5.

Sets

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

Upgrades can also increase the damage base of a weapon. This can be crucial for certain builds. However, weapons cannot be upgraded to have a greater maximum defense roll than their regular base. It is possible to increase value of specific sets and unique items by upgrading them, however they may not always be superior to a high-level Runeword.

If the item you're upgrading has a guarantee bonus that is guaranteed, it can be rerolled a few times and its guarantee will be reset to 0. Rerolling will cost the same amount of power dice as leveling an item up, but the new item will offer various bonuses. Upgrades can be completed at the NPC [Armorthe ] Boboko in the Central Flarine. To upgrade an item upgrader kit, you'll require a power dice of each type (Dice 4 or 6 drop from monsters 21+ and Giants; Dice 7 drops from bosses) and the proper amount of Minerals and Erons. These are available at the crafting table or in the Ultra Collector and can be purchased with Gold. The NPCs will also offer special rewards for each completed level of the upgrade process. This reward is rerollable once and will use the same materials as the first item upgrades.

Rerolling

A player can roll any item they have acquired in the game provided they have enough reroll tokens to do so. When an upgraded item is to be rerolled, it will be exchanged for the version at a level 1 of the same Item upgrader kit in another set. Reroll tokens are sold in the shop for a small amount of in-game currency. They are non-refundable. The new item will offer the same bonus features as the original, but the stats will also be different.

In addition to rerolling items players can also alter the identification of any item upgrader by interfacing with an upgrader NPC. This will change its identification as a weapon to armor or reverse it. The basic requirements and stats will remain the same. The change is permanent and will affect all characters who are wearing the gear.

Players can also boost the level of their item on any equipped device by obtaining upgrade components and interacting with the NPC who upgrades the item. This will cost a certain number of crests and Valorstones depending on the upgrade track and kind. Each step will add 5% more damage to weapons.

An upgrade can make it more powerful, but it will reduce its effectiveness. It is therefore essential to find a balance between these two. Certain items aren't worth upgrading, while others require upgrading to reach their full potential. A player may want to upgrade the breakpoint armor by adding an interesting modifier (% block chance or FHR) in order to see what else it can be.

Rerolling is a common practice in Genshin Impact and other gacha-based games. It is a method used by players to try to obtain an item or character they would not otherwise be able to acquire. These items can be costly and time-consuming and the RNG gods aren't always willing to cooperate. The only options is to shell out real money or grind for a long time. For this reason, rerolling is a popular option in Genshin Impact.

Leveling

When upgrading an item you can choose to level up the weapon or armor. This feature is not available in the current version of the game. I believe this feature was designed to give value to expensive and rare items. However, since most items are replaced quite quickly and can only be leveled up one level, you will generally replace it before it becomes too old. It's also not worth upgrading items using gem sockets, as the power of the stone will outweigh any increment in the ilvl.

If you click the upgrade button on an item, you will be presented with a small window displaying the item's upgrade template and the cost of Valorstone and crest to increase the item level. The cost will differ between the armor and weapons as well, with the former typically costing more than the latter. The upgrade template outlines the stats that will be added to the upgraded item and 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 for lvl. For example an upgrade of 8% will reduce the weapon's ilvl by 8 to 88%.

In addition to the base ilvl boost it will also be upgraded in other stats such as critical strike damage, damage from PvE and dodge, block, and parry rating. The increases are also based on the upgrade template.

In the upgrade template, you can see the amount of damage or defense that the item will receive after being leveled up. This is displayed below the cost as well as the upgrade percentages. Apart from the practice equipment, all weapons and armor gain the same stats once upgraded. The value of these stats will be dictated by the market, with a perfectly rolled version of a weapon or piece of armor able to command much more in trade value than unupp'd versions. The same applies to other pieces of armor such as circlets or Tiaras.
