This Is The Advanced Guide To Item Upgrading
Path of Exile Item Upgrading

The best way to improve your gear in Path of Exile is through upgrading your items. This lets you enhance your gear without having to depend on costly trades or drops. This article will show you how to upgrade your gear.

Upgrades to equipment give a bonus on the item's stats. The bonus is based on the rarity and strength of the upgrade component.

Components

Upgrade components are the things that improve your armor and weapons better. You can locate them through destroying enemies, buying them from karma vendors, or finding them in the form of item-spheres. They can also be rescued from equipment with them or by using the highest-quality salvage kits like the Black Lion Salvage Kit or Ascended Salvage Tool. Upgrade components are not destroyed when you remove them from the item.

The main function of upgrade components is to enable an item to be upgraded, however, they also serve other purposes. They can be stacked in order to boost the level or experience gained by upgrading existing equipment or weapons. They can also be forged to give additional bonuses. A glyph that has been crafted can increase the chances of upgrading its target, while a boost upgrade increases the defense or attack capabilities of a weapon.

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. Alternatively, you can utilize the workbench to select an upgrade template. In either case, an item will be upgraded once enough upgrade components have been gathered.

Each component has a distinct experience multiplier that affects how much more experience an item gets when it is upgraded by that component. Organic components, like, have a higher multiplier of experience than mechanical components. It is recommended to upgrade the organic components first, until you reach the next rank in the weapon or equipment and then move on 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 upgradeable items is determined by their upgradeable rank and the kind of upgrade they are able to receive. The highest upgrade possible is a weapon with the tier 10. The most common weapon upgrade is a gun with tier 6 and an armor upgrade of tier 5.

Sets


A set is a collection of items that share the benefit of. Each item can be upgraded at minimum once. The upgrade will increase the amount of bonuses you can expect to receive. The first time you upgrade the set piece or weapon is that it will be given an increase of +1 to its primary stat. In subsequent upgrades, the primary stats will be boosted a little further (for example, +1 up to 12+/13+/14+) Each time you upgrade the item it will have one of its additional stats is boosted randomly.

Upgrades can also increase the base damage of a weapon. This may be important for certain builds. Weapons aren't upgraded to give greater maximum defence rolls than their base. Upgrades can be a great way to improve the value of some set and unique items, but it's important to note that they're not necessarily better than a high-level runeword in any build.

If you are upgrading an item with a bonus it can be rerolled once and the guarantee will reset to 0. Rerolling will cost the same amount of power dice as leveling an item, but the new item will have different extra bonuses. The NPC [Armor] Boboko can upgrade your armor in Central Flarine. To upgrade an item, you will require a power dice of each kind (Dice 4 or 6 drop from monsters 21+ and Giants; Dice 7 drops from bosses) and the appropriate amount of Minerals and Erons. They can be purchased 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. This reward can be rerolled once, and the reroll will be made using the same materials as the original item.

Rerolling

If a player has enough rerolling tokens, they can roll any item they've acquired during the game. If an item is rerolled, it will be replaced by a level 1 version in another set. Reroll tokens are available at the store for an amount of in-game currency, however they are not refundable. The new item upgraded will still come with the extra bonuses of the original one however its stats will be different too.

Players can alter the identification of their equipment, in addition to rerolling it by interacting with an upgrader NPC. The equipment's identification will change from a weapon to an armor or reverse it. The basic requirements and stats remain the same. The change will be permanent and affect all characters that own the equipment.

Players can also increase the level of an item equipped equipment by acquiring upgrade item s and conversing with the NPC who upgrades the item. The cost will differ based on the upgrade track, item type and number of crests. Each step will give an additional 5% of damage to weapons.

Upgrades can increase the effectiveness of an item, but they also decrease the quality of an item. It is therefore important to balance the two. Some items are not worth upgrading, while other items require upgrades to reach their full potential. A player may want to upgrade their breakpoint armor using an interesting modifier ( percent block chance, or FHR) in order to explore what else it can become.

The primary reason people are able to reroll in Genshin Impact, or in any gacha-based game is because they're trying to get a specific weapon or character that they wouldn't otherwise be able to acquire. These items can be costly and time-consuming to obtain, and the RNG doesn't always play nice. The only options left are to invest real money or grind a lot. This is why rerolling is a very popular option in Genshin Impact.

Leveling

When upgrading an item, you can pick to level up the weapon or armor. But, this feature does absolutely nothing in the current game. I believe it was designed to be a way to give some value to rare items, but since gear in general drops fairly quickly and is only upgraded after a certain amount of levels it is likely that you will replace the item before it gets old enough. It's also not worth upgrading items with gem sockets since the power of the gemstone will outweigh any increase in the ilvl.

When you click the upgrade option on an item, you'll be presented with a small window displaying the upgrade template for the item and the cost of crest and Valorstone to increase the item level. Weapons and armor will have different costs, with the former generally being more expensive. The upgrade template lists the statistics that will be added to the upgraded item and will also list 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 the new upgraded item will be decreased by the template's lvl decrease percentage. For instance, an upgrade of 8% will reduce the ilvl of a weapon by 8 to 8%.

In addition to the base ilvl increase, the item will also receive upgrades in other stats such as critical strike damage, damage from PvE and block, parry and dodge rating. Those increases are also built on the upgrade template.

The amount of damage and defense that the item is able to receive when it is leveled can be seen below the cost and upgrade decrease percentages in the upgrade template window. All weapons and armor, except practice equipment, get these stats when they level up. The market will determine the value of these stats. A weapon or armor that has perfect rolls can command a much higher price than an unupp'd version. The same is true for other armor pieces, such as circlets and Tiaras.
