20 Things You Should Be Educated About Item Upgrading

Path of Exile Item Upgrading

In Path of Exile,  item upgrading  is one of the most effective ways to upgrade your gear without relying upon big-ticket drops or trade. This article will show you how to upgrade your items.

Upgrades to equipment provide an additional bonus to the item's base stats. This bonus is based on the upgrade component's level and rarity.

Components

Upgrade components are the things that improve your armor and weapons better. They can be found through destroying enemies, buying them from karma vendors or finding them in items-spheres. You can also salvage them from equipment that contains the components or through salvage kits of high-end quality, such as Black Lion Salvage Kit and Ascended Salvage Tool. Upgrade components aren't destroyed by removing them from the item.

The main function of upgrade components is to allow an item to be upgraded, but they also serve other purposes. They can be used to boost the value of an upgradeable item or they can be used to enhance the experience gained by upgrading an existing weapon or piece of equipment. They can be forged to give extra bonuses. For example, a crafted glyph will boost the chance of upgrading its target, whereas a boost upgrade will boost the defense or attack quality of a weapon or armor.

You can attach an upgrade template to an item by selecting it from the edition GUI. This will show the list of upgrade components that the item can be upgraded to. Alternately, you can utilize the workbench to select an upgrade template. In either case, an item will be upgraded once enough upgrade components have been collected.

Each component has a distinct experience multiplier, which determines the amount of experience an item gets when it is upgraded by that component. For instance, organic components offer an experience multiplier that is higher than mechanical ones. You should upgrade organic components first until you reach the next rank in the weapon or equipment, then switch to mechanical upgrades.

In addition to the experience multiplier every item also has the maximum number of upgrades it can receive. The number of upgrades is determined by the rank that can be upgraded and the upgrade type of the upgradeable item. For example, the highest possible weapon upgrade is a tier 10 weapon. The most commonly used upgrade is a gun of tier 6 and a armor upgrade for tier 5.

Sets

A set is a group of items that share a bonus. Each item can be upgraded at minimum once. The upgrade increases the bonuses that are guaranteed. When you first 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 bit more (for example, +1 to 12+/13+/14+) Each time you upgrade the item with an additional stats will be increased randomly.

The upgrade of a weapon can increase the damage base, which may be crucial for certain builds. However, weapons cannot be upgraded to have a higher defense level than their normal base. It is possible to increase value of specific sets and unique items by upgrading them, but they're not always better than a Runeword with a high level.

If you are upgrading an item with a bonus it can be rerolled one time, and its guarantee will reset back to zero. Rerolling costs the same amount of power dice as bringing an item up, but the new item will have additional bonuses. Upgrading can be done by visiting the NPC [ArmorBoboko. Boboko in Central Flarine. To upgrade an item you will require the proper amount of Minerals and Erons and a power dice of each type. These can be bought by using Gold at the crafting table or in the Ultra Collection. The NPC will also provide an extra reward for every tier that is completed of the upgrade process. The reward can be rerolled one time using the same materials and components as the first item.

Rerolling

A player is able to roll any item they have acquired during the game, provided they have enough tokens. If an upgraded item is to be rerolled, it will be exchanged for the level 1 version of the same item in a different set. Reroll tokens are available in the store for a small sum of in-game currency. They are non-refundable. The new item will have the same bonus features like the first, however the stats will be different.

Players can change the identification of equipment in addition to rerolling it by interacting with an NPC upgrader. The equipment's identification will change from a weapon to an armor or reverse the process. The base requirements and stats remain the same. The change will last for a long time and affect all characters who own the equipment.

Players can also increase the item level of any equipped equipment by obtaining upgrade components and communicating with the upgrader NPC of the item. It will cost a specific amount of crests as well as Valorstones dependent on the upgrade track and the item kind. For weapons, each step will add five percent to the damage.

Upgrades can increase 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 other items require upgrades to reach their full potential. For example, a player might want to upgrade a piece breakpoint armor that comes with an interesting modifier (% chance to block or FHR) to discover what it could become.

Rerolling is a common practice in Genshin Impact and other gacha-based games. People use it to try to obtain a character or weapon they cannot otherwise get. The process of obtaining these items can be expensive and time-consuming, and the RNG gods do not always want to cooperate. The only alternative is to spend real money or grind extensively. Rerolling is a very popular choice in Genshin Impact.

Leveling

You can decide to upgrade the weapon or armor when you upgrade an item. But, this feature does absolutely nothing in the current game. I think this feature was created to increase the value of rare and expensive items. However, since the majority of gear is replaced fairly quickly and can only be upgraded to a certain level, you will typically replace it before it is too old. It's not worth upgrading items using gem sockets, as the power of the stone will outweigh any increase in the level of.

If you click the upgrade button on an item, you'll get a small screen with the upgrade template of the item as well as the crest and Valorstone costs to boost the level of the item. Armor and weapons have different costs, with the former usually being more expensive. The upgrade template lists the stats that will be added to an upgraded item as well as its current ilvl.

The cost of the Valorstone and the crest is calculated based on the item's current Ilvl and the upgrade templates. The ilvl is also reduced by the upgrade templates lvl reduction percentage. For example, a weapon with an increase of 8% will decrease its ilvl by 8 - 8%.

The item will get upgrades to other stats, such as critical strike damage, PvE damages and block, parry and dodge rating in addition to the base level. Those increases are also based on the upgrade template.

The amount of defense and damage the item is able to receive when leveled up can be shown below the cost and upgrade decrease percentages in the upgrade template window. Apart from the equipment for practice, all armor and weapons gain the same stats once leveled up. The market determines the value of these stats. A weapon or armor that has perfect rolls can command more than an unupp'd version. Similar is the case for other pieces of armor, like tiaras and circlets.
