Path of Exile Item Upgrading
The best method to upgrade your equipment in Path of Exile is through upgrading your items. This lets you improve it without having to rely on expensive drops or trades. This article will help you understand how to upgrade your gear.
Upgrades to equipment give an increase in the item's stats. This bonus scales based on the rarity and level of the upgrade component.
Components
Upgrade components are the things that can make your weapons and armor better. They can be found by destroying enemies, buying them from karma sellers or finding them in the form of item-spheres. They can also be rescued from equipment that contains them, or by utilizing a high-tier salvage kit such as the Black Lion Salvage Kit or Ascended Salvage Tool. In contrast to other items upgrades aren't destroyed when removed from an item.
The main function of upgrade components is to enable an item to be upgraded, but they also serve other functions. They can be stacked to increase the level of an upgradeable item or they can be used to boost the amount of experience gained from upgrading an existing weapon or piece of gear. They can also be forged to give additional bonuses. A crafted glyph can increase the chance of upgrading its target while a boost upgrade increases the defense or attack capabilities of weapons.
Selecting an upgrade template from the GUI will let you bind it to an item. It will display the list of upgrade components that the item can be upgraded to. Alternately, you can utilize the workbench to select an upgrade template. In either instance the item will be upgraded once enough upgrade components are collected.
Each component has a distinct experience multiplier, which determines the amount of experience an item gets when it is upgraded by that component. Organic components, for example have an increased multiplier of experience than mechanical components. You should upgrade 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 available is determined by its upgradeable rank and the upgrade type of the upgradeable item. For example, the highest possible upgrade for a weapon is a weapon with tier 10. The most common weapon upgrade is a gun of tier 6 and an armor upgrade of tier 5.
Sets
A set is a group of items that share bonuses. Each item in the set can be upgraded at least once, and the upgrade increases the guaranteed bonuses. The first time you upgrade an item, its primary stat will be +1. After subsequent upgrades, the primary stats are boosted even further (for instance, +1 for 12+/13+/14+) and each time an item is upgraded, one of its stats will increase randomly.
The upgrade of a weapon can increase the damage base, which may be important for some builds. Weapons aren't upgraded to give an increased maximum defence roll than their base. It's possible to increase the value of specific sets and unique items by upgrading them, but they may not always be superior to a higher-level Runeword.
If an item you're upgrading comes with a guaranteed bonus it is able to be rerolled a few times, and then its guarantee will be reset to 0. The same power die is used to reroll an item, just as it is used to level it up. However the new item comes with different bonuses. The NPC [Armor] 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 appropriate amount of Minerals and Erons. These are available at the crafting table or in the Ultra Collector and can be purchased with Gold. NPCs will also provide special rewards for each level of the upgrade process. This reward is rerollable once and will be made using the same materials as the first item.
Rerolling
A player is able to play rerolling any item that they acquire in the game if they have enough reroll tokens. When an upgraded item gets rerolled, it will be exchanged for the version at a level 1 of the same item in another set. Reroll tokens can be purchased in the store for a small sum of in-game currency. They are non-refundable. The new upgraded item will still come with the extra bonuses of the first however its stats will differ as well.
Players can change the identity of equipment in addition to changing it's roll by interfacing with a NPC upgrader. This will change the identification from a weapons to armor, or vice versa. The base stats and requirements will remain the same. The change will last for a long time and affect all characters that own the gear.
The player can also upgrade their item level for any equipped equipment. This is accomplished by interacting with an upgrader NPC and obtaining upgrade components. It will cost a specific amount of crests as well as Valorstones according to the upgrade track and the item type. In the case of weapons, each step will add 5percent to the damage.
Upgrading an item can boost its power, but it will also decrease its quality. Therefore, it is crucial to balance the two. Certain items might not be worth upgrading at all and some will require to be upgraded in order to reach their potential. For instance an individual player may decide to upgrade a piece of breakpoint armor that has an interesting modifier ( percent chance of blocking or FHR) to discover what it could be.
The primary reason why people play rerolls in Genshin Impact, or in any gacha-based game, is because they're trying to acquire a certain character or weapon that they aren't able to obtain. These items are time-consuming and costly to obtain, and the RNG doesn't always play nice. The only choices left are to invest real money or grind a lot. For this reason, rerolling is a popular option in Genshin Impact.
Leveling
You can decide to upgrade the weapon or armor after upgrading an item. This feature is not available in the current version of the game. I believe it was designed to to increase the value of rare items, but since gear in general drops fairly quickly and is only upgraded after a certain amount of levels it is likely that you will replace the item before it gets too old. It's not worth it to upgrade items with gem sockets as the power of the gem will outweigh the increase in ilvl with the upgrade.
You will see a small box when you click the upgrade option on an item. It will show the item's template, the crest, and the cost of Valorstone to increase the item's level. Armor and weapons will have different costs, with the latter typically being more costly. The upgrade template shows the statistics that will be added to the upgraded item and will also list its current base ilvl.
The cost of the Valorstone and the crest is calculated based on the current Ilvl of the item and the upgrade templates. Additionally, the ilvl of the new upgraded item will be decreased by the template's lvl decrease percentage. For instance, an upgrade of 8% can reduce the ilvl of a weapon by 8 to 88%.
In addition to the base ilvl boost the item will also receive upgrades in other stats, such as critical strike damage, damage from PvE and dodge, block and parry rating. Those increases are also based on the upgrade template.
The amount of damage and defense that the item receives when leveled up can be seen below the upgrade cost and decrease percentages in the upgrade template window. item upgrader and weapons apart from practice equipment get these stats once they've been leveled up. The value of these additional stats will be dictated 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. This is also true for other armor pieces like circlets and tiaras.
