An Easy-To-Follow Guide To Item Upgrading
Path of Exile Item Upgrading
The best way to upgrade your equipment in Path of Exile is through item upgrades. This lets you improve it without having to rely on expensive drops or trades. This article will teach you how to upgrade items your items effectively.
Upgrading equipment grants a bonus to the item's base stats. The bonus increases with upgrade component's level and rarity.
Components
Upgrade components are the items that make your weapons and armor better. They can be obtained by fighting off enemies, locating them in item spheres or buying them from karma dealers. They can also be salvaged from equipment that contains them, or through the highest-quality salvage kits such as the Black Lion Salvage Kit or Ascended Salvage Tool. In contrast to other items upgrade components, upgrade components aren't destroyed when removed from an item.
The main purpose of upgrade components is to enable an item to be upgraded, but they also serve other purposes. They can be stacked in order to increase the level of experience gained from upgrading existing equipment or weapons. They can be forged to give extra bonuses. For instance, a specially crafted glyph will boost the chance of upgrading its target, and the boost upgrade can increase the attack or defense quality of a weapon or armor.
Selecting an upgrade template in the GUI will let you bind it to an item. This will display the upgrade components to which the item can be updated. You can also use the workbench to selecting an upgrade template. In either case, an item will be upgraded after 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 the component. For instance, organic components give an experience multiplier that is higher than mechanical ones. You should upgrade the organic components first, until you reach the next level in the weapon or equipment and then move on to mechanical upgrades.
Each item has an upgrade maximum number that can be received. The number of items that can be upgraded is determined by their upgradeable rank, and the kind of upgrade they can get. The highest level of upgrade is a weapon of 10th level. The most commonly used upgrade is a gun with tier 6 and a armor upgrade for tier 5.
Sets
A set is a collection of items that share the benefit of. Each item in the set can be upgraded at least one time, and the upgrade increases its guaranteed bonuses. The first time you upgrade an item level upgrade or set piece will give it a +1 increase to its primary stat. On subsequent upgrades, the primary stats will be increased even more (for instance, +1 for 12+/13+/14+) and every time an item is upgraded one of its stats will increase randomly.
Upgrades can also boost the base damage of a weapon. This could be crucial for Item upgrades certain builds. Weapons aren't upgraded to give an increased maximum defence roll than their base. It is a good method to increase the value of certain sets and unique items, but it is important to keep in mind that they might not be more effective than a high-level raneword in any build.
If you're upgrading an item with a bonus, the item can be rerolled one time, and its guarantee will reset back to 0. Rerolling costs the same amount of power dice as the process of leveling an item, however the new item upgrades will offer various bonuses. The NPC [ArmorBoboko 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 proper amount of Minerals and Erons. These can be bought with Gold at the crafting table or in the Ultra Collection. The NPCs will also offer special rewards for each completed stage of the upgrade process. This reward can be rerolled a second time and the reroll will be made using the same materials as the original item.
Rerolling
If a player has enough tokens for rerolling, they can play rerolling any item they have acquired during the game. If an item is rerolled, it will be replaced with a level 1 version in another set. Reroll tokens can be bought from the store for a small amount of in-game currency, however they cannot be refunded. The new upgraded item will have the same benefits of the previous one however, its stats will be different as well.
In addition to rerolling items players can also change the identification of any equipment by interacting with an upgrader NPC. The equipment's identification will change from a weapons to armor or reverse the process. The base requirements and stats remain the same. The change is permanent and will affect all characters that own the gear in question.
The player can also upgrade their item level upgrade level for any equipment equipped. This is accomplished by talking to an upgrader NPC and getting upgrade components. The cost of upgrading will depend on the upgrade track, the item type, and the number of crests. Each step will give 5percent more damage to weapons.
Upgrades can boost the capability of an item, but they also can decrease its quality. Therefore, it is important to keep both in check. Some items aren't worth upgrading, while others require upgrading to reach their full potential. For example, a player might want to upgrade a piece breakpoint armor that comes with an interesting modifier ( percent chance of blocking or FHR) to discover what it could be.
The primary reason people are able to reroll in Genshin Impact, or in any gacha-based game is that they're trying to acquire a certain weapon or character that they aren't able to obtain. These items can be time-consuming and expensive to obtain and the RNG does not always work in a positive way. The only alternatives are to invest money or grind for a long time. Rerolling is a popular feature in Genshin Impact.
Leveling
You can select whether to upgrade the weapon or armor when you upgrade an item. But, this feature does absolutely nothing in the current game. I believe it was intended to be a way to add value to rare items, but because equipment generally drops quickly and is only upgraded after a certain amount of levels, you'll usually replace the item before it gets too old. It's not worth upgrading items using gem sockets because the power of the gem will outweigh any increase in ilvl.
If you click the upgrade option on an item, you will see a small window with the upgrade template of the item as well as the crest and Valorstone costs to boost the level of the item. Weapons and armor will have different costs, with the latter usually being more expensive. The upgrade template lists the statistics that will be added to the upgraded item and it also lists the current base ilvl.
The cost of the Valorstone and crest is calculated using the current Ilvl of the item as well as the upgrade templates. The ilvl will also be decreased by the upgrade templates reduction percentage for lvl. For instance weapons with an upgrade decrease of 8% will reduce its value by 8-8%.
In addition to the increase in ilvl base it will also get upgrades in other stats like critical strike damage, PvE damage, block, parry and dodge rating. The increases are also dependent on the upgrade template.
In the upgrade template you can determine the amount of damage or defense an item will receive after being leveled up. This is displayed below the cost as well as the upgrade percentages. Aside from practice equipment, all other armor and weapons gain these same stats when upgraded. The market determines the value of these stats. A weapon or armor with perfect rolls can command more than an unupp'd version. Similar is the case for other pieces of armor, like tiaras and circlets.
