Path of Exile Item Upgrading

In Path of Exile, item upgrade upgrading is one of the best ways to upgrade your gear without relying upon massive drops or trade. This article will teach you how to upgrade your items effectively.

Upgrades in equipment can add an increase to the item's base stats. The bonus is based on the rarity and strength of the Upgrade Item component.

Components

Upgrade components can make your weapons and armour better. You can get them from destroying enemies, finding them in item upgrader spheres or buying them from karma merchants. You can also salvage them from equipment containing the components, or by utilizing high-end salvage kits like Black Lion Salvage Kit and Ascended Salvage Tool. Upgrade components cannot be destroyed by removing them from the item.

The primary function of upgrade components is to enable an item to be upgraded however, 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 provide extra bonuses. A crafted glyph can increase the chances of upgrading its target while an upgrade boosts the attack or defense attributes of weapons.

You can attach an upgrade template to an item by selecting it from the edition GUI. It will display the list of upgrade components 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 when enough upgrade components have been collected.

Each component has a unique experience multiplier. This determines how much experience an item will gain when upgraded with that component. For instance, organic components have a more experience multipliers than mechanical ones. Therefore, it is recommended to upgrade with organic components until you reach the experience multiplier for the next rank of weapon or gear, and then move to mechanical upgrades.

Each item comes with an upgrade maximum number that can be received. The number of items that are upgradeable is determined by their upgradeable rank, and the kind of upgrade they are able to receive. The highest upgrade possible is a weapon with 10th level. However, the most popular upgrade for weapons is an tier 6 weapon as well as a tier 5 armor upgrade.

Sets

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

Upgrades can also boost the base damage of a weapon. This could be crucial for certain types of weapons. Weapons can't be upgraded for a higher maximum defence roll than their 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 higher-level Runeword.

If you're upgrading an item that has bonuses it can be rerolled once and the guarantee will reset to 0. Rerolling costs the same amount of power dice as bringing an item, but the upgraded item upgrade will come with various bonuses. Upgrading can be done by visiting the NPC [Armor] Boboko in the Central Flarine. To upgrade an item, you will require a power die 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 the Ultra Collector and can be purchased with Gold. NPCs will also provide special rewards for each completed level of the upgrade process. This reward can be rerolled a second time and the reroll will use the same materials used in the original item.

Rerolling

A player is able to reroll any item acquired in the game provided they have enough tokens to do so. When an upgraded item gets rerolled, it will be exchanged for a version that is level 1 of the same item from a different set. Reroll tokens can be purchased from the store for an amount of in-game currency. However, they are not refundable. The upgraded item will still have the extra bonuses of the first however, its stats will be different also.

Players can change the identity of their equipment as well as rolling it again by interacting with a NPC upgrader. This will change the identification from an armor to a weapon or vice versa, while maintaining its base stats and required attributes. The change is permanent and will affect all characters that own the gear in question.

The player can also upgrade the level of the item for any equipment that is equipped. This can be done by talking to an upgrader NPC and getting upgrade components. The cost will differ based on the upgrade track, item type and the number of crests. In the case of weapons, each step up will add 5percent to the damage.

Upgrades can increase the capability of an item, but they can also reduce its quality. Therefore, it is important to find a balance between these two. Some items may not be worth upgrading, while others will need to be upgraded in order to realize their potential. A player might want to upgrade breakpoint armor with an interesting modifier ( percent block chance, or FHR) in order to discover what it could be.

Rerolling is a standard practice in Genshin Impact and other gacha-based games. People do it to gain access to a character or weapon they would not otherwise be able to acquire. These items can be time-consuming and expensive to acquire, and the RNG isn't always a good fit. The only options left are to invest real money or grind a lot. Rerolling is very popular in Genshin Impact.

Leveling

You can select whether to upgrade the weapon or armor when you upgrade an item. This feature isn't available in the current version of the game. I think it was meant to be a way to give some value to rare items, but because gear in general drops fairly quickly and is only upgraded one level up it is likely that you will replace the item upgrader kit before it becomes too old. It's also not worthwhile to upgrade items with gem sockets since the value of the gem will outweigh the increased ilvl that comes with the upgrade.

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

The cost of the Valorstone and the crest is calculated based on the current Ilvl of the item level upgrade and the upgrade templates. In addition the ilvl of a new upgraded item will be reduced by the template's lvl reduction percentage. For example the weapon that has an 8% upgrade decrease will decrease its ilvl by 8 - 8 percent.

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

In the upgrade template, you can determine the amount of damage or defense the item will suffer after it is leveled up. This is shown below the cost and upgrade percentages. 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 perfect version of a weapon or piece of armor can command significantly more in trade value than unupp'd versions. Similar is the case for other armor pieces, like tiaras and circlets.
