Path of Exile Item Upgrading
The most effective way 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 show you how to upgrade your items efficiently.
Upgrades to equipment provide an additional bonus to the item's base stats. The bonus increases with upgrade component's level and rarity.
Components
Upgrade components are the parts that improve your armor and weapons more effective. You can get them from fighting off enemies, locating them in item spheres or buying them from karma merchants. They can also be rescued from equipment with them or by using a high-tier salvage kit like the Black Lion Salvage Kit or Ascended Salvage Tool. Contrary to other products upgrade components, upgrade components aren't destroyed when they are removed from an item.
The main function of upgrade components is to enable an item to be upgraded however, they also serve other functions. They can be stacked to increase the quality of an upgradeable item, or they can be used to enhance the amount of experience gained from upgrading an existing weapon or piece of equipment. They can be forged for additional benefits. A glyph that has been crafted can increase the upgrade chances of its target, while a boost upgrade increases the attack or defense attributes of a weapon.
You can attach an upgrade template to an item by selecting it from the edition GUI. It will display a list of upgrade components that the item can be upgraded to. You can also make use of the workbench to choose an upgrade template. In either case, an item will be upgraded when enough upgrade components have been gathered.
Each component has its own experience multiplier, which determines how much more experience an item will gain when it is upgraded by that component. For instance, organic components have a a higher experience multiplier than mechanical ones. 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.
item upgrader comes with an upgrade limit number that is available for. The number of upgrades is determined by the rank that can be upgraded and the upgrade type of the upgradeable item. The most powerful upgrade is a weapon of the tier 10. The most commonly used upgrade is a tier 6 gun and a armor upgrade of tier 5.
Sets
A set is a group of items which share the benefit of. Each item in the set can be upgraded at least once and the upgrade increases the guaranteed bonuses. When you first upgrade an item or set piece is that it will be given a +1 increase to its primary stat. On subsequent upgrades, primary stats are boosted even further (for instance +1 for 12+/13+/14+) and every time an item is upgraded, one of its additional stats increases randomly.
Upgrades can also increase the damage base of a weapon. This may be important for certain types of weapons. Weapons cannot be upgraded for greater maximum defence rolls than their base. Upgrading can be a good method to increase the value of some set and unique items, however it's important to remember that they're not necessarily more effective than a high-level raneword in any build.
If an item you're upgrading has a guarantee bonus, it can be rerolled once and the guarantee will reset to 0. Rerolling will cost the same amount of power dice as the process of leveling an item up, but the upgraded item will come with additional bonuses. Upgrading can be done by visiting the NPC [ArmorBoboko. Boboko in Central Flarine. To upgrade an item you will need the appropriate amount Minerals and Erons as well as a power dice of each type. These can be purchased by using Gold at the crafting table or in the Ultra Collection. NPCs will also provide special rewards for each level of the upgrade process. This reward can be rerolled one time with the same materials as original item.
Rerolling
If the player has enough tokens for rerolling, they can play rerolling any item they've accumulated during the game. If an upgraded item is rerolled, it will be exchanged for a version at a level 1 of the same item in a different set. Reroll tokens are sold in the store for a small sum of in-game currency. They are non-refundable. The new item upgraded will still come with the extra benefits of the previous one, but its stats will differ as well.
In addition to rerolling objects, players can also alter the identification of any equipment by interacting with an upgrader NPC. This will change the identification from an armor to a weapon or vice versa, all the while retaining its base stats and attributes that are required. The change will last for a long time and affect all characters that own the equipment.
Players can also boost the item level of any equipped equipment by acquiring upgrade components and communicating with the item's upgrader NPC. It will cost a specific number of crests and Valorstones dependent on the upgrade track and the item type. In the case of weapons, each step will add an additional five percent to the damage.
An upgrade will make it more powerful however, it can reduce its effectiveness. It is therefore important to balance the two. Some items aren't worth upgrading, while others require upgrading to make them more effective. For instance one player might wish to upgrade a piece of breakpoint armor that comes with an interesting modifier ( percent chance of blocking or FHR) to discover what it could become.
The primary reason why people play rerolls in Genshin Impact, or in any gacha-based game is because they are trying to obtain a particular character or weapon that they wouldn't otherwise be able to acquire. These items are time-consuming and costly to acquire, and the RNG does not always work in a positive way. The only options is to shell out real money or grind lots. Rerolling is a popular feature in Genshin Impact.
Leveling
When upgrading an item, you can pick to level up the weapon or armor. This feature isn't available in the current version of the game. I think it was meant to be a way to give some value to rare items, but since gear in general drops fairly quickly and can only be upgraded one level up, you'll usually replace the item before it gets old enough. It's also not worth upgrading items using gem sockets since the power of the stone will outweigh any increment in ilvl.
If you click on the upgrade option on an item, you'll get a small screen with the item's upgrade template and the cost of crest and Valorstone to increase the level of the item. Armor and weapons will have different costs, with the former generally being more expensive. The upgrade template lists the stats that will be added to an upgraded item and also the current ilvl.
The cost of the Valorstone and Crest is calculated using the current Ilvl of the item and the upgrade templates. Additionally the ilvl of a new upgraded item will be reduced by the upgrade template's lvl decrease percentage. For example, an upgrade of 8% will decrease the ilvl of a weapon by 8 to 8percent.
In addition to the base ilvl boost it will also receive upgrades in other stats such as critical strike damage, PvE damage, dodge, block and parry rating. These increases are also based off the upgrade template.
In the upgrade template, you can determine the amount of damage or defense an item will be able to sustain after being leveled up. This is shown below the cost and the upgrade percentages. Apart from item upgrader for practice, all items and armor get the same stats once leveled up. The value of these additional stats will be determined by the market, with a rolled perfect version of a piece of armor or weapon able to command much higher trade values than non-upp'd versions. The same applies to other pieces of armor, such as tiaras and circlets.
