Path of Exile Item Upgrading
The best method to improve your gear in Path of Exile is through upgrade of your items. This allows you to upgrade your gear without having rely on expensive drops or trades. This article will teach you how to upgrade your gear.
Upgrades to equipment provide a bonus to the item's base stats. This bonus scales with the upgrade component's level and rarity.
Components
Upgrade components can make your armour and weapons better. They can be obtained by the destruction of enemies, finding them in spheres of items or purchasing them from karma sellers. They can also be rescued from equipment that contains them or by using a high-tier salvage kit like the Black Lion Salvage Kit or Ascended Salvage Tool. Upgrade components cannot be destroyed when they are removed from the item.
The main purpose of upgrade components is to allow an item to be upgraded however, they also serve other functions. They can be stacked to increase the level of an upgradeable item or they can be used to increase the amount of experience gained from upgrading an existing weapon or piece of gear. They can be made for additional benefits. A glyph that is crafted can boost the upgrade chances of its target, while an upgrade boosts the defense or attack capabilities of a weapon.
Selecting an upgrade template in the GUI will allow you to bind it to an item. This will display a list of upgrade components that the item can be upgraded to. You can also use the workbench to selecting an upgrade template. In either scenario, an item will be upgraded when enough upgrade components have been collected.
Each component has its own experience multiplier, which determines how much more experience an item receives when it is upgraded with the component. For instance, organic components give more experience multipliers than mechanical ones. It is recommended to upgrade the organic components first, until you reach the next rank in the weapon or equipment and then switch to the mechanical upgrades.
In addition to the experience multiplier, each item also has a maximum number of upgrades it can receive. The number of upgrades are determined by the upgradeable rank and the type of upgrade available to the upgradeable item. The highest level of upgrade is a weapon with the tier 10. However, the most commonly used weapon upgrades are the tier 6 weapon and a tier 5 armor upgrade.
Sets
A set is a collection of items which share bonuses. Each item in the set can be upgraded at least once, and each upgrade boosts the amount of bonuses that are guaranteed. When you first upgrade an item, its initial stat will be +1. On subsequent upgrades the primary stats will be boosted a little further (for example, +1 to 12+/13+/14+) Every time you upgrade the item it will have one of its additional stats will be increased randomly.
Upgrading a weapon can also increase the damage base, which can be important for some builds. Weapons cannot be upgraded for an increased maximum defence roll than their base. It is a good way to improve the value of certain sets and unique items, but it is important to keep in mind that they're not necessarily superior to a high-level runeword in any build.
If you're upgrading an item that comes with a bonus the item can be rerolled a single time, and its guarantee will reset back to zero. Rerolling will cost the same amount of power dice as bringing an item, however the upgraded item will come with additional bonuses. The NPC [Armor] Boboko can upgrade your armor in Central Flarine. To upgrade an item, you'll require a power dice 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 bought by using Gold at the crafting table or in the Ultra Collection. The NPC will also offer an additional reward for every tier that is completed of the upgrade process. item upgrades is rerollable once and the reroll will use the same materials as the original item.
Rerolling
If players have enough to reroll tokens, they are able to reroll any item that they've accumulated during the game. If an item is rerolled, it will be replaced with a level 1 version in another set. Reroll tokens are available from the store for an amount of in-game currency. However, they aren't refundable. The new upgraded item will have the same benefits of the previous one however, its stats will differ also.
Players can change the identification of their equipment as well as rolling it again by interacting with an NPC upgrader. This will change the identification from an armor to a weapon or vice versa, all the while retaining its base stats and required attributes. The change will be permanent and affect all characters who have the gear.
The player can also upgrade the item level for any equipment equipped. This can be done by interacting with an upgrader NPC and getting upgrade items. This will cost a certain amount of crests as well as Valorstones dependent on the upgrade track and the item kind. Each step will give an additional 5% of damage to weapons.
Upgrades can increase the effectiveness of an item, however they also can decrease its quality. Therefore, it is important to find a balance between the two. Some items may not be worth upgrading at all however, others will need to be upgraded to reach their potential. A player might want to upgrade breakpoint armor with an interesting modification ( percent block chance or FHR) to see what else it can be.
The primary reason why 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 can't otherwise obtain. These items are time-consuming and costly to acquire and the RNG doesn't always play nice. The only choices left are to spend real cash or grind for a long time. Rerolling is a popular option in Genshin Impact.
Leveling
You can select whether to upgrade the weapon or armor after upgrading an item. This feature isn't available in the current version of the game. I think it was meant to to increase the value of rare items, but as the majority of gear drops quickly and can only be upgraded after a certain amount of levels and you'll typically replace the item before it becomes old enough. It's also not worthwhile to upgrade items with gem sockets since the value of the gem will far outweigh the increased ilvl that comes with the upgrade.
When you click the upgrade option on an item, you will be presented with a small window displaying the item's upgrade template and the crest and Valorstone costs to boost the level of the item. Weapons and armor will have different costs, with the latter generally being more expensive. The upgrade template lists the stats that can be added to an upgraded item, as well as its current base ilvl.
The cost of the Valorstone and Crest is calculated using the item's current Ilvl and the upgrade templates. Additionally the ilvl of a new upgraded item will be reduced by the template's lvl reduction percentage. For instance weapons with an increase of 8% will decrease its ilvl by 8 - 8 percent.
The item will receive upgrades to other stats, such as critical strike damage, PvE damage and block, parry and dodge rating, in addition to the base level. These increases are also based off the upgrade template.
The amount of damage and defense that the item receives as it gets leveled up can be shown below the cost and upgrade decrease percentages in the upgrade template window. All armor and weapons apart from practice equipment gain these stats upon leveling up. The market will determine the worth of these stats. A weapon or armor with perfect rolls can fetch more than an unupp'd version. This is also true for other pieces of armor, like tiaras and circlets.
