5 Things That Everyone Doesn't Know About Item Upgrading

Path of Exile Item Upgrading

The best method to improve your gear in Path of Exile is through item upgrades. This allows you to upgrade your gear without having rely on expensive trades or drops. This article will show you how to upgrade your gear.

Upgrades to equipment provide a bonus on the item's stats. This bonus scales depending on the rarity and quality of the upgrade component.

Components

Upgrade components can make your armour and weapons stronger. They can be found by destroying enemies, buying them from karma sellers or finding them in the form of item-spheres. They can also be rescued from equipment that contains them or by using an advanced salvage kit such as the Black Lion Salvage Kit or Ascended Salvage Tool. Upgrade components cannot be destroyed when you remove them from the item.

Upgrade components are mostly used to upgrade an item, however, they can also be used for other purposes. They can be stacked to increase the quality of an item that can be upgraded or they can be used to enhance the experience gained by upgrading an existing weapon or piece of gear. They can also be forged to offer additional benefits. For example, a crafted glyph will boost the chances of upgrading its target, while a boost upgrade will increase the attack or defense property of a weapon, or armor.

You can connect an upgrade template to an item by selecting it from the edition GUI. This will display the upgrade components that the item can be upgraded. You can also use the workbench to selecting an upgrade template. In either scenario, the item level upgrade will be upgraded when enough upgrade components are collected.

Each component has its own experience multiplier that affects how much more experience an item receives when it upgrades with that component. Organic components, for example have an increased multiplier of experience than mechanical components. It is recommended to upgrade 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 experience multiplier every item also has a maximum number of upgrades that it can receive. The number of upgrades is determined by the upgradeable rank and the type of upgrade available to the upgradeable item. The highest level of upgrade is a weapon of 10th level. The most popular weapon upgrade is a gun with tier 6 and an armor upgrade for tier 5.

Sets

A set is a group of items that share the benefit of. Each item can be upgraded at least once. The upgrade will increase the amount of bonuses you can expect to receive. When you first upgrade a set piece or weapon will give it an increase of +1 to its primary stat. Following upgrades, the primary stats are boosted even further (for instance, +1 for 12+/13+/14+) and every time an item is upgraded, one of its stats will increase randomly.

Upgrades to a weapon may increase its damage base, which may be necessary for certain builds. Weapons can't be upgraded for greater maximum defence rolls than their base. It is a good way to improve the value of some set and unique items, however it's important to note that they might not be superior to a high-level runeword in any build.

If the item you're upgrading has a guaranteed bonus that is guaranteed, it can be rerolled once, and then its guarantee will be reset to 0. Rerolling will cost the same amount of power dice as the process of leveling an item up, but the new item will offer different extra bonuses. Upgrading can be done by visiting the NPC [ArmorBoboko. Boboko in the Central Flarine. To upgrade an item you will require the required amount of Minerals and Erons as well as a power dice of each type. These are available at the crafting table or in the Ultra Collector and can be purchased using Gold. The NPCs will also offer special rewards for each level of the upgrade process. This reward can be rerolled a second time and the reroll will use the same materials as the first item.

Rerolling

A player is able to roll any item they have acquired during the game, provided they have enough reroll tokens. When an upgraded item is to be rerolled, it will be exchanged for a version at a level 1 of the same item in a different set. Reroll tokens are available in the shop for a small sum of in-game currency. They are non-refundable. The new item will have the same bonuses as the previous one, but the stats will be different.

Players can alter the identification of equipment in addition to rerolling it by interacting with a NPC upgrader. This will change the identification as a weapon to armor, or reverse it. The basic requirements and stats remain the same. The change is permanent and will affect all characters who own the gear in question.

Players can also increase the level of their item on 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 upgrader kit type, and the number of crests. Each upgrade will add 5% more damage to weapons.

Upgrades can increase the capability of an item, but they also decrease its quality. It is therefore essential to strike a balance between the two. Certain items might not be worth upgrading at all and some will require to be upgraded to maximize their potential. For instance, a player might decide to upgrade a piece breakpoint armor with an interesting modifier ( percent chance of blocking or FHR) to see what it can be.

The primary reason people play rerolls in Genshin Impact, or in any gacha-based game, is because they are trying to acquire a certain character or weapon that they aren't able to obtain. The process of obtaining these items can be costly and time-consuming, and the RNG gods do not always want to play. The only options are to invest real money or grind lots. For this reason, rerolling is a very popular option in Genshin Impact.

Leveling

When upgrading an item you can pick to upgrade the weapon or armor. This feature isn't available in the current version of the game. I believe that this feature was created to add some value to expensive and rare items. However, since the majority of equipment is replaced quickly, and can only be leveled up one level, you'll usually replace it before it gets too old. It's also not worth it to upgrade items with gem sockets since the value of the gem will outweigh the higher ilvl that comes with the upgrade.

If you click on the upgrade option on an item, you will get a small screen with the upgrade template for the item and the cost of crest and Valorstone to increase the level of the item. The cost of upgrades will vary based on the armor and weapons and the latter typically costing more than the latter. The upgrade template shows the statistics that will be added to the upgraded item. It it also lists the current base ilvl.

The crest and Valorstone costs are calculated according to the current ilvl of the item and the upgrade template. The ilvl is also reduced by the upgrade templates lvl reduction percentage. For instance weapons with an 8% upgrade decrease will decrease its value by 8-8 percent.

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

In the upgrade template you can check the amount of damage or defense the item upgrade will suffer after being leveled up. This is shown below the cost and upgrade percentages. All armor and weapons that are not practice equipment get these stats when they level up. The value of these additional stats will be determined by the market, with a rolled perfect version of a weapon or piece of armor is able to command higher trade values than non-upp'd versions. The same applies to other pieces of armor like tiaras or circlets.
