Path of Exile Item Upgrading
In Path of Exile, item upgrading is among the most effective ways to upgrade your gear without relying upon massive drops or trade. This article will show you how to upgrade your gear.
Upgrades to equipment give a bonus on the item's stats. The amount of bonus varies depending on the rarity and quality of the upgrade component.
Components
Upgrade components are the items that improve your armor and weapons more effective. You can locate them through destroying enemies, buying them from karma sellers or finding them in the form of item-spheres. You can also get them from equipment that has the components, or by utilizing salvage kits of high-end quality, such as Black Lion Salvage Kit and Ascended Salvage Tool. Contrary to other products upgrade components, upgrade components aren't destroyed when they are removed from an item.
The primary function of upgrade components is to enable an item to be upgraded however, they also serve other purposes. They can be used to increase the level or experience gained from upgrading existing equipment or weapons. They can be made for additional benefits. A glyph that has been crafted can increase the chance of upgrading its target, and boost upgrades increase the attack or defense capabilities of a weapon.
You can attach 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 to selecting an upgrade template. In either scenario, an item will be upgraded once enough upgrade components have been gathered.
Each component has a distinct experience multiplier, which affects the amount of experience an item gets when it is upgraded with that component. Organic components, like have more experience multipliers than mechanical components. It is recommended to upgrade the organic components first, until you reach the next rank in the weapon or equipment, then switch to mechanical upgrades.
Each item comes with an upgrade limit number that is available for. The number of upgradeable items is determined by their upgradeable rank and the kind of upgrade they are able to receive. The most powerful upgrade is a weapon with tier 10. The most common weapon upgrade is a gun of tier 6 and a armor upgrade of tier 5.
Sets
A set is a collection of objects which all have the same bonus. Each item can be upgraded at minimum 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. In subsequent upgrades the primary stats will be boosted a bit more (for example, +1 to 12+/13+/14+) Each time you upgrade the item, one of its extra stats is increased randomly.
Upgrades to a weapon may increase the damage base, which can be necessary for certain builds. Weapons cannot be upgraded for an increased maximum defence roll than their base. It's possible to increase the value of certain set and unique items by upgrading them, but they might not always be superior to a high-level Runeword.
If you are upgrading an item that has a bonus it can be rerolled once and the guarantee will reset back to 0. Rerolling will cost the same amount of power dice as leveling an item, however the new item will have different extra bonuses. Upgrades can be completed at the NPC [Armorthe ] Boboko in Central Flarine. To upgrade an item, you'll require a power die of each type (Dice 4 or 6 drop from monsters 21+ and Giants; dice 7 drops from bosses) and the appropriate amount of Minerals and Erons. These can be purchased with Gold at the crafting table or in the Ultra Collection. The NPC will also give a special reward for every tier that is completed of the upgrade process. This reward can be rerolled a second time and will use the same materials used in the original item.
Rerolling
If a player has enough to reroll tokens, they are able to reroll any item that they have acquired during the game. When an upgraded item gets to be rerolled, it will be exchanged for a version at a level 1 of the same item in another set. Reroll tokens can be bought at the store for a small amount of in-game currency. However, they cannot be refunded. The new item will offer the same bonus features as the previous one, but the stats will also be different.
In addition to rerolling objects, players can also alter the identity of any equipment by interfacing with an upgrader NPC. This will change the identification as a weapon to armor or reverse the process. The basic requirements and stats remain the same. The change will be permanent and will affect all characters that own the equipment.
Players can also increase the item level of any equipped device by obtaining upgrade components and communicating with the upgrader NPC of the item. This will cost a set amount of crests as well as Valorstones depending on the upgrade track and the item type. For weapons, each step will add 5% to its damage.
Upgrading an item can make it more powerful however it can reduce its effectiveness. Therefore, it is important to find a balance between the two. Some items may not be worth upgrading at all, while others will need to be upgraded to maximize their potential. For instance one player might want to upgrade a piece of breakpoint armor with an interesting modifier (% chance to block or FHR) to explore the possibilities of what it can become.
The primary reason people play rerolls in Genshin Impact, or in any gacha-based game, is that they're trying to acquire a certain character or weapon that they can't otherwise obtain. The process of obtaining these items can be expensive and time-consuming and the RNG gods aren't always willing to cooperate. The only options left is to shell out real money or grind a lot. This is why rerolling is a very popular choice in Genshin Impact.
Leveling
You can decide to upgrade the weapon or armor when upgrading an item. This feature isn't available in the current version of the game. I think this feature was designed to increase the value of expensive and rare items. However, since the majority of equipment is replaced quickly, and can only be upgraded one level, you'll typically replace it before it gets too old. It's also not worthwhile to upgrade items with gem sockets as the power of the gem will far outweigh the increase in ilvl with the upgrade.
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, and the Valorstone cost to raise the item's level. Armor and weapons will have different costs, with the latter generally being more expensive. The upgrade template outlines the stats that can 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. In addition, the ilvl of the new upgraded item will be reduced by the upgrade template's lvl decrease percentage. For example the weapon that has an 8% upgrade decrease will reduce its count by 8-8 percent.
In addition to the increase in ilvl base, the item will also be upgraded in other stats, such as critical strike damage, damage from PvE and dodge, block, and parry rating. These increases are also based off the upgrade template.
In the upgrade template you can see the amount of damage or defense that the item will suffer after it is leveled up. This is listed below the cost and upgrade percentages. All armor and weapons that are not 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 fetch more than an unupp'd version. Similar is the case for other armor pieces, such as tiaras and circlets.
