Are You Getting The Most Value From Your 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 on big-ticket drops or trade. This article will show you how to upp your items efficiently.

Upgrading equipment grants a bonus to the item's base stats. The bonus is according to the rarity and strength of the upgrade component.

Components

Upgrade components make your weapons and armour better. They can be found through destroying enemies, buying them from karma sellers or finding them in the form of item-spheres. You can also salvage them from equipment that contains the components, or by utilizing high-tier salvage kits such as Black Lion Salvage Kit and Ascended Salvage Tool. Contrary to other products, upgrade components are not destroyed when they are removed from an item.

The main purpose of upgrade components is to allow an item to be upgraded but they also serve other purposes. They can be stacked to increase the level or experience gained by upgrading existing weapons or gear. They can also be made to offer additional benefits. For example, a created glyph can increase the upgrade chance of its target, while a boost upgrade will increase the attack or defense quality of a weapon or armor.

Selecting an upgrade template in the GUI will allow you to bind it to an item. This will display an upgrade component list that the item can be upgraded to. You can also use the workbench for selecting an upgrade template. In either case, an item will be upgraded when enough upgrade components have been collected.

Each component is assigned an experience multiplier. This determines how much experience an item gains when upgraded with that component. For instance, organic components offer more experience multipliers than mechanical ones. Therefore, it is recommended to upgrade using organic components until you have reached the experience multiplier for the next level of the weapon or gear, then move to mechanical upgrades.

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

Sets

A set is a collection of objects that all share the same bonus. Each item in the set can be upgraded at least one time, and the upgrade will increase its guaranteed bonuses. The first time you upgrade an item or set piece is that it will be given a +1 increase to its primary stat. In subsequent upgrades, the primary stats will be increased a bit more (for example, +1 to 12+/13+/14+) Each time you upgrade the item, one of its extra stats is boosted randomly.

The upgrade of a weapon can increase the damage base, which may be important for some builds. However, weapons can't be upgraded to have a higher maximum defense roll than their normal base. It is possible to increase the value of certain set and unique items by upgrading them, but they're not always superior to a high-level Runeword.

If the item you're upgrading comes with a guaranteed bonus that is guaranteed, it can be rerolled a few times and its guarantee will be reset to zero. The same power dies are used to reroll an item, just as it would be to level it up. However, the new item has different bonuses. Upgrades can be made at the NPC [Armorthe ] Boboko in the Central Flarine. To upgrade an item, you will require the required amount of Minerals and Erons and a power dice of each type. These are available at the crafting table or the Ultra Collector and can be purchased with Gold. The NPCs will also offer special rewards for each completed level of the upgrade process. This reward is rerollable once and will be made using the same materials as the first item.

Rerolling

If a player has enough tokens for rerolling, they can roll any item they've acquired during the game. If an item is rerolled, it will be replaced by the same level in another set. Reroll tokens are sold in the store for a small amount of in-game currency. They are not refundable. The new item upgraded will have the same bonuses of the first, but its stats will differ as well.

In addition to rerolling items, players can also change the identity of any equipment by interacting with an upgrader NPC. This will change the identification from an armor to a weapon or vice versa, while retaining its base stats and attributes that are required. The change is permanent and will affect all characters who are wearing the gear.

The player can also upgrade the level of an item upgrade for any equipment equipped. This can be done by interacting with an upgrader NPC, and then obtaining upgrade components. This will cost a certain amount of crests and Valorstones depending on the upgrade track and the item type. Each step will add an additional 5% of damage to weapons.

Upgrades can increase the capability of an item upgrade, however they can also reduce its quality. Therefore, it is crucial to balance the two. Certain items might not be worth upgrading at all, while others will need to be upgraded to reach their 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 see what it can become.

The primary reason why people reroll in Genshin Impact, or in any gacha-based game is because they're trying to get a specific character or weapon that they wouldn't otherwise be able to acquire. These items can be time-consuming and expensive to acquire and the RNG does not always work in a positive way. The only other options are to invest money or grind for a long time. This is why rerolling is a popular option in Genshin Impact.

Leveling

When upgrading an item upgrader kit, you can pick to upgrade the weapon or armor. This feature isn't available in the current version of the game. I believe it was designed to 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, you'll usually replace the item before it becomes old enough. It's not worth it to upgrade items with gem sockets as the power of the gem will far outweigh the increase in ilvl with the upgrade.

You will see a small box when you click on the upgrade option for an item. It will show the item's template, the Crest, as well as the Valorstone cost to raise the item level. Armor and weapons will have different costs, with the former typically being more costly. The upgrade template outlines the stats that will be added to an upgraded item, along with its current base ilvl.

The cost of the Valorstone and the crest is calculated based on the current Ilvl of the item as well as the upgrade templates. Additionally the ilvl of the new upgraded item will be reduced by the template's lvl reduction percentage. For example the weapon that has an increase of 8% will reduce its ilvl by 8 - 8 percent.

In addition to the base ilvl boost it will also receive upgrades in other stats, such as critical strike damage, damage from PvE and dodge, block, and parry rating. These upgrades are also based on the upgrade template.

In the upgrade template you can determine the amount of damage or defense the item will suffer after it is leveled up. This is displayed below the cost and upgrade percentages. All armor and weapons, except practice equipment, gain these stats upon leveling 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 can command significantly more trade value than non-upp'd versions. The same applies to other pieces of armor such as circlets or Tiaras.
