20 Tips To Help You Be More Efficient At Item Upgrading
Path of Exile Item Upgrading
In Path of Exile, item upgrading is one of the best ways to improve your gear without relying upon massive drops or trade. This article will show you how to upgrade your items effectively.
Upgrades in equipment can add a bonus to the item's base stats. The bonus is according to the rarity and quality of the upgrade component.
Components
Upgrade components can make your armour and weapons better. They can be obtained by destroying enemies, finding them in item spheres, or purchasing them from karma sellers. You can also salvage them from equipment that contains the components or by using 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 the item.
The main function of upgrade components is to allow an item to be upgraded, however, they also serve other functions. They can be stacked in order to increase the level of experience gained from upgrading existing weapons or gear. They can also be made to offer additional benefits. A glyph that is crafted can boost the chance of upgrading its target while boost upgrades increase the attack or defense attributes of weapons.
You can bind an upgrade template to an item by selecting it from the edition GUI. This will show the upgrade components that the item can be updated. You can also use the workbench for selecting an upgrade template. In either scenario, an item Upgrader mod will be upgraded when enough upgrade components have been collected.
Each component has a different experience multiplier, which affects how much more experience an item gets when it upgrades with the component. For instance, organic components offer a higher experience multiplier than mechanical ones. You should upgrade the organic components first, until you reach the next level in the weapon or equipment and then move on to mechanical upgrades.
Each item upgrader mod has a maximum upgrade number that it is possible to receive. The number of items that are upgradeable is determined by their upgradeable rank and the type of upgrade they are able to receive. The most powerful upgrade is a weapon with the tier 10. The most common weapon upgrade is a gun with tier 6 and a armor upgrade of tier 5.
Sets
A set is a group of items that have bonuses. Each item upgrades can be upgraded at least once. The upgrade will increase the bonuses that are guaranteed. The first time you upgrade an item or set piece is that it will be given an increase of +1 to its primary stat. On subsequent upgrades the stats of the primary one will be boosted a little more (for example, +1 up to 12+/13+/14+), and each time you upgrade the item, one of its extra stats is increased randomly.
Upgrades to a weapon may increase its damage base, which may be necessary for certain builds. Weapons aren't upgraded to give an increased maximum defence roll than their base. Upgrading can be a good option to increase the value of certain sets and unique items, but it's important to remember that they may not be superior to a high-level runeword in any build.
If the item you're upgrading has a guarantee bonus that is guaranteed, it can be rerolled only once and its guarantee will be reset to 0. Rerolling will cost the same amount of power dice as bringing an item, but the new item will offer additional 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 and a power dice of each kind. These can be bought by using Gold at the crafting table or in the Ultra Collection. The NPCs will also offer special rewards for each completed level of the upgrade process. The reward can be rerolled one time using the same materials as the original item.
Rerolling
If the player has enough tokens for rerolling, they can play rerolling any item they've accumulated during the game. When an item is rerolled it will be replaced with an equivalent level 1 version from another set. Reroll tokens can be purchased at the store for small amounts of in-game currency. However, they cannot be refunded. The new item will have the same bonus features like the first, however the statistics will also be different.
Players can change the identification of their equipment, in addition to changing it's roll by interfacing with a NPC upgrader. This will change its identification from a weapon to an armor, or vice versa. The basic requirements and stats will remain the same. The change is permanent and will affect all characters that are wearing the gear.
Players can also boost the level of an item equipped equipment by obtaining upgrade components and communicating with the upgrader NPC of the item. The cost of upgrading will depend on the upgrade track, item type, and the number of crests. For weapons, each upgrade will add an additional 5% to its damage.
Upgrades can boost the capability of an item, but they can also reduce its quality. Therefore, it is important to balance the two. Some items aren't worth upgrading, while others need to be upgraded to make them more effective. For instance one player might decide to upgrade a piece breakpoint armor that comes with an interesting modifier (% chance to block or FHR) to explore the possibilities of what it can become.
The primary reason why people reroll in Genshin Impact, or in any gacha-based game, is that they're trying to get a specific weapon or character that they can't otherwise obtain. These items can be costly and time-consuming to obtain and the RNG isn't always a good fit. The only options left is to shell out real money or grind a lot. Rerolling is extremely popular in Genshin Impact.
Leveling
You can choose whether to upgrade the weapon or armor when you upgrade an item. However, this feature does absolutely nothing in the current game. I believe that this feature was designed to increase the value of expensive and rare items. However, since most equipment is replaced quickly and can only be upgraded by to a certain level, you will typically replace it before it gets too old. It's not worth upgrading items using gem sockets, as the power of the gem will outweigh any increment in ilvl.
You will be presented with a small box when you click the upgrade option on an item. It will display the template of the item, the Crest, as well as the Valorstone cost to raise the item's level. The cost of upgrades will vary based on the armor and weapons and the latter typically costing more than the latter. The upgrade template outlines the stats to be added to an upgraded item as well as its current base ilvl.
The cost of the Valorstone and Crest is calculated using the current Ilvl of the item and the upgrade templates. Additionally the ilvl of a new upgraded item will be reduced by the template's lvl decrease percentage. For instance weapons with an upgrade decrease of 8% will decrease its value by 8-8%.
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 upgrades are also based on the upgrade template.
The amount of defense and damage the item is able to receive as it gets leveled up can be seen below the cost and upgrade decrease percentages in the upgrade items template window. Apart from the equipment for practice, all weapons and armor gain these same stats when leveled up. The value of these stats will be determined by the market, with a perfectly perfectly rolled version of a piece of armor or weapon able to command much higher trade values than non-upp'd versions. The same is true for other armor pieces like circlets and Tiaras.
