Path of Exile Item Upgrading
In Path of Exile, item upgrading is one of the most effective ways to upgrade your equipment without relying on massive drops or trade. This article will teach you how to upgrade your items.
Upgrades to equipment provide an additional bonus to the item's base stats. The bonus is depending on the rarity and strength of the upgrade component.
Components
Upgrade components are the parts that improve your armor and weapons better. They can be obtained by the destruction of enemies, finding them in item spheres, or buying them from karma merchants. They can also be salvaged from equipment with them, or through an advanced salvage kit such as the Black Lion Salvage Kit or Ascended Salvage Tool. Upgrade components aren't destroyed when you remove them from the item.
Upgrade components are primarily used to upgrade an item however, they can also be used for other reasons. They can be stacked in order to increase the level or experience gained by upgrading existing weapons or gear. They can also be made to offer additional benefits. For instance, a crafted glyph will boost the chances of upgrading its target, whereas the boost upgrade can 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. This will display an upgrade component list that the item can be upgraded to. You can also use the workbench when selecting an upgrade template. In either case, the item will be upgraded once enough upgrade components have been collected.
Each component has its own experience multiplier that affects the amount of experience an item gets when it is upgraded by that component. Organic components, like have more experience multipliers than mechanical components. You should upgrade organic components first until you reach the next level in the weapon or equipment, and then move on to mechanical upgrades.
In addition to the experience multiplier every item also has an maximum number of upgrades it can receive. The number of items that can be upgraded is determined by their upgradeable rank, and the type of upgrade they can receive. For instance, the highest possible weapon upgrade is a weapon with tier 10. However, the most common upgrade for weapons is a tier 6 weapon and an 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. When you first upgrade an item, its initial stat will be +1. After subsequent upgrades, the primary stats will be boosted a little more (for example, +1 up to 12+/13+/14+) Each time you upgrade the item, one of its extra stats is increased randomly.
Upgrading a weapon can also increase its damage base, which can be important for some builds. Weapons aren't upgraded to give greater maximum defence rolls than their base. It's possible to increase the value of certain sets and unique items by upgrading them, however they may not always be superior to a higher-level Runeword.
If the item you're upgrading has a guaranteed bonus it is able to be rerolled only once, and then its guarantee will be reset to zero. Rerolling will cost the same amount of power dice as leveling an item up, but the upgraded item will come with various bonuses. The NPC [ArmorBoboko Boboko can upgrade your armor in Central Flarine. To upgrade an item, 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 right amount of Minerals and Erons. These are available at the crafting table or in the Ultra Collector and are available for purchase with Gold. The NPC will also offer a special reward for every tier that is completed of the upgrade process. This reward can be rerolled once, and the reroll will be made using the same materials as the original item.
Rerolling
A player is able to roll any item they have acquired in the game provided they have enough tokens to be able to do so. When an item is rerolled it will be replaced by the same level in another set. Reroll tokens are sold in the store for a small amount of in-game currency. They cannot be refunded. The new item will come with the same bonus features as the original, but the stats will differ.
In addition to rerolling objects, players can also change the identification of any equipment by interacting with an upgrader NPC. This will change the identification from a weapon to an armor, or vice versa. The base stats and requirements remain the same. The change will be permanent and affect all characters that own the gear.
The player can also upgrade their item level for any equipment equipped. This is accomplished by talking to an upgrader NPC and getting upgrade items. The cost will differ based on the upgrade track, the item type and number of crests. Each upgrade will add 5% more damage to weapons.
The upgrade of an item can boost its power, but it will also decrease its quality. It is therefore important to find a balance between the two. item upgrader aren't worth upgrading, while other items require upgrading to maximize their potential. A player may want to upgrade breakpoint armor with an interesting modifier ( percent block chance or FHR) to explore what else it can become.
The main reason people reroll in Genshin Impact, or in any gacha-based game, is because they're trying to get a specific character or weapon that they aren't able to obtain. Getting these items can be costly and time-consuming and the RNG gods aren't always willing to cooperate. The only alternatives are to spend money or grind a lot. Rerolling is extremely popular in Genshin Impact.
Leveling
You can select whether to upgrade the weapon or armor when you upgrade an item. However, this feature is absolutely nothing in the current game. I think this feature was created to add some value to expensive and rare items. However, since the majority of items are replaced quite quickly, and it can only be leveled up one level, you'll usually replace it before it gets too old. It's also not worth upgrading items using gem sockets since the power of the gem will outweigh any increment in the level of.
When you click the upgrade option on an item, you'll be presented with a small window displaying the item's upgrade template and the cost of crest and Valorstone to increase the item level. The costs will vary between the armor and weapons, with the former usually costing more than the latter. 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 according to the item's current ilvl as well as the upgrade template. Additionally the ilvl of a new upgraded item will be reduced by the upgrade template's lvl decrease percentage. For example, a weapon with an increase of 8% will decrease its value by 8-8 percent.
In addition to the base ilvl boost the item will also get upgrades in other stats, such as critical strike damage, PvE damage, dodge, block, and parry rating. These enhancements are also based on the upgrade template.
The amount of defense and damage the item receives as it gets leveled up can be seen below the upgrade cost and decrease percentages in the upgrade template window. All armor and weapons, except practice equipment, get these stats once they've been leveled up. The value of these additional stats will be determined by the market, with a perfectly perfectly rolled version of a weapon or piece of armor is able to command more in trade value than unupp'd versions. This is also true for other pieces of armor, such as circlets and Tiaras.
