The Advanced Guide To Item Upgrading

Path of Exile Item Upgrading

The best way to improve your gear in Path of Exile is through item upgrader kit upgrades (visit the up coming document). This allows you to improve it without having to rely on expensive trades or drops. This article will help you understand how to upgrade your items.

Upgrades to equipment give an additional bonus to the item's stats. This bonus scales with the upgrade component level and rarity.

Components

Upgrade components make your weapons and armour better. They can be found through destroying enemies, buying them from karma vendors or finding them in item-spheres. They can also be salvaged from equipment with them, or through the highest-quality salvage kits like the Black Lion Salvage Kit or Ascended Salvage Tool. Upgrade components cannot be destroyed by removing them from an item.

The primary function of upgrade components is to allow an item to be upgraded however, they also serve other purposes. They can be used to increase the level of the amount of experience gained by upgrading weapons or gear. They can also be made to give additional bonuses. A crafted glyph can increase the chance of upgrading its target, and boost upgrades increase the attack or defense capabilities of the weapon.

Selecting an upgrade template in the GUI will let you bind it to an item. This will display the upgrade components to which the item can be upgraded. You can also use the workbench when selecting an upgrade template. In either case, the item will be upgraded after enough upgrade items components are collected.

Each component has a distinct experience multiplier that affects the amount of experience an item receives when it upgrades with the component. For instance, organic components give an experience multiplier that is higher than mechanical ones. Therefore, it is recommended to upgrade using organic components until you have reached the multiplier of experience for the next rank of weapon or gear, and then move to mechanical upgrades.

In addition to the multiplier for experience every item also has an maximum number of upgrades that it can receive. The number of upgrades available is determined by the upgradeable rank and the type of upgrade available to the upgradeable item. For example, the highest possible weapon upgrade is a weapon of tier 10. However, the most popular upgrades for weapons are an tier 6 weapon as well as a tier 5 armor upgrade.

Sets

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

Upgrades can also boost the damage base of a weapon. This can be crucial for certain builds. However, weapons are not upgraded to have a higher defense level than their normal base. It is possible to increase value of certain set and unique items by upgrading them, but they may not always be better than a Runeword with a high level.

If the item you're upgrading comes with a guaranteed bonus, it can be rerolled once and the guarantee will be reset to zero. Rerolling is the same amount of power dice as leveling an item, however the upgraded item will come with different extra bonuses. Upgrades can be made at the NPC [Armor] Boboko in Central Flarine. To upgrade an item, you'll need a power die of each type (Dice 4 or 6 drop from monsters 21+ and Giants; dice 7 drops from bosses) and the appropriate amount of Minerals and Erons. These are available at the crafting table or the Ultra Collector and can be purchased using Gold. NPCs also offer special rewards for each completed level of the upgrade process. This reward can be rerolled a single time with the same materials and components as the first item.

Rerolling

A player is able to reroll any item acquired during the game, provided they have enough reroll tokens to do so. When an upgraded item is rerolled, it will be exchanged for a version that is level 1 of the same item from a different set. Reroll tokens are available at the store for a small sum of in-game currency. They are non-refundable. The new upgraded item will still come with the extra benefits of the previous one however its stats will differ also.

In addition to rerolling items players can also alter the identity of any equipment by interfacing with an upgrader NPC. This will change the identification from a weapon to an armor or vice versa. The base requirements and stats will remain the same. The change will be permanent and will affect all characters who have the equipment.

Players can also increase the item level of any equipped equipment by obtaining upgrade components and communicating with the NPC who upgrades the item. The cost will differ based on the upgrade track, the item type and the number of crests. In the case of weapons, each step will add an additional 5percent to the damage.

The upgrade of an item can make it more powerful however, it can also decrease its quality. Therefore, it is crucial to keep both in check. Some items are not worth upgrading, while other items need to be upgraded to maximize their potential. A player may want to upgrade the breakpoint armor by adding an interesting modifier ( percent block chance or FHR) in order to see what else it can be.

Rerolling is a standard practice in Genshin Impact and other gacha-based games. People use it to try to obtain the character or weapon they would not otherwise be able to acquire. These items can be time-consuming and expensive to obtain and the RNG does not always work in a positive way. The only other options are to spend real money or grind extensively. Rerolling is a popular feature in Genshin Impact.

Leveling

You can select whether to upgrade the weapon or armor after upgrading an item. This feature is not available in the current version of the game. I believe it was designed to to give some value to rare items, but as equipment generally drops quickly and can only be upgraded after a certain amount of levels it is likely that you will replace the item before it gets too old. It's also not worthwhile to level items that have gem sockets because the power of the gem will far outweigh the higher ilvl that comes with the upgrade.

When you click the upgrade button on an item, you will get a small screen with the upgrade template for the item and the cost of Valorstone and crest to increase the item upgrader mod level. Weapons and armor will have different costs, with the latter usually being more expensive. The upgrade template lists the stats that will be added to the upgraded item. It will also list its current ilvl.

The cost of the Valorstone and Crest is calculated using the current Ilvl of the item as well as the upgrade templates. In addition, the ilvl of the new upgraded item will be reduced by the template's lvl decrease percentage. For example, an upgrade of 8% can reduce the ilvl of a weapon by 8 to 8percent.

In addition to the base ilvl increase, the item will also be upgraded in other stats like critical strike damage, PvE damage, dodge, block, and parry rating. These increases are also based off the upgrade template.

The amount of damage and defense that the item receives when it is leveled can be seen below the cost and upgrade decrease percentages in the upgrade template window. All weapons and armor apart from practice equipment gain these stats upon leveling up. The value of these additional stats will be dictated by the market, with a rolled perfect version of a piece of armor or weapon able to command much higher trade values than non-upp'd versions. This is also true for other pieces of armor, like tiaras or circlets.
