5 Things Everyone Gets Wrong Concerning Item Upgrading

Path of Exile Item Upgrading

The best way to improve your equipment in Path of Exile is through upgrading your items. This allows you to enhance your gear without having to rely on expensive drops or trades. This article will teach you how to upgrade your items.

Upgrades to equipment provide an additional bonus to the item's stats. This bonus is based on the upgrade component level and rarity.

Components

Upgrade components are the items that can make your weapons and armor better. You can locate them by destroying enemies, buying them from karma vendors or finding them in item-spheres. You can also salvage them from equipment that has the components, or by utilizing high-end salvage kits like Black Lion Salvage Kit and Ascended Salvage Tool. In contrast to other items upgrades aren't destroyed when they are removed from an item.

The primary function of upgrade components is to allow an item to be upgraded, however, they also serve other functions. They can be stacked to increase the quality of an item that can be upgraded or they can be used to enhance the experience gained when upgrading an existing weapon or piece of equipment. They can also be forged to offer additional benefits. A glyph that is crafted can boost the chances 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 a list of upgrade components that the item can be upgraded to. You can also use the workbench for selecting an upgrade template. In either instance, the item will be upgraded after enough upgrade components are collected.

Each component has its own experience multiplier. This determines the amount of experience an item will gain when upgraded with that component. Organic components, for example, have more experience multipliers than mechanical components. Therefore, it is recommended to upgrade with organic components until you have reached the experience multiplier of the next rank of equipment or weapon, and then move to mechanical upgrades.

Each item comes with an upgrade limit number that it is possible to receive. The number of upgrades available is determined by its upgradeable rank and the type of upgrade available to the upgradeable item. For instance, the most expensive possible upgrade for a weapon is a weapon with tier 10. However, the most popular upgrades for weapons are a tier 6 weapon and an armor upgrade of tier 5.

Sets

A set is a collection of items which share a bonus. Each item in the set can be upgraded at least once and the upgrade increases the amount of bonuses that are guaranteed. The first time you upgrade the set piece or weapon is that it will be given a +1 increase to its primary stat. Following upgrades, the primary stats are increased even more (for instance the +1 bonus 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 its damage base, which may be crucial for certain builds. Weapons aren't upgraded to give greater maximum defence rolls than their base. It is possible to increase value of specific sets and unique items by upgrading them, however they may not always be better than a Runeword with a high level.

If you are upgrading an item with bonuses it can be rerolled a single time, and its guarantee will reset back to 0. Rerolling will cost the same amount of power dice as bringing an item up, but the new item will offer different extra bonuses. The NPC [ArmorBoboko Boboko can upgrade your armor in Central Flarine. To upgrade an item, you will require a power die 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 the Ultra Collector, and can be purchased using Gold. The NPC will also offer an extra reward for each completed tier of the upgrade process. This reward can be rerolled a second time and will be made using the same materials as the original item.

Rerolling

If the player has enough rerolling tokens, they can play rerolling any item they've accumulated during the game. If an item is rerolled, it will be replaced with an equivalent level 1 version from another set. Reroll tokens can be bought from the store for an amount of in-game currency. However, they cannot be refunded. The new item will offer the same extra bonuses like the first, however the stats will differ.

Players can change the identification of their equipment as well as rolling it again by interacting with a NPC upgrader. This will change the identity from a weapon to armor 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 equipment.

Players can also boost the level of their item on any equipped equipment by acquiring upgrade components and interacting with the item's upgrader NPC. The cost will vary depending on the upgrade track, item type, and the number of crests. Each step will give an additional 5% of damage to weapons.

Upgrading an item can make it more powerful, but it will also decrease its quality. Therefore, it is crucial to keep both in check. Some items may not be worth upgrading at all and some will require to be upgraded in order to maximize their potential. One player may wish to upgrade breakpoint armor with an interesting modifier (% block chance or FHR) in order to explore what else it can become.

The main reason people reroll in Genshin Impact, or in any gacha-based game, is because they're trying to acquire a certain weapon or character that they can't otherwise obtain. These items can be time-consuming and expensive to acquire and the RNG isn't always a good fit. The only options left are to invest real money or grind a lot. Rerolling is a popular option in Genshin Impact.

Leveling

When upgrading an item, you can choose to upgrade the weapon or armor. But, this feature does absolutely nothing in the current game. I believe that this feature was intended to increase the value of rare and expensive items. However, since most items are replaced quite quickly, and it can only be leveled up to a certain level, you will typically replace it before it becomes too old. It's also not worthwhile to  upgrade item  s that have gem sockets as the power of the gem will be greater than the increase in ilvl with the upgrade.

You will see a small box when you click the upgrade option for an item. It will display the item's template, the crest, and the cost of Valorstone to increase the level of the item. Armor and weapons will have different costs, with the latter usually being more expensive. The upgrade template outlines the stats to be added to an upgraded item, along with its current base ilvl.

The crest and Valorstone costs are calculated according to the current ilvl of the item and the upgrade template. Additionally the ilvl of the new upgraded item will be decreased by the template's lvl reduction percentage. For instance an upgrade of 8% will decrease the weapon's ilvl by 8 to 88%.

The item will be upgraded to other stats like critical strike damage, PvE damage and block, parry, and dodge rating, in addition to the base level. These enhancements are also based on the upgrade template.

The amount of damage and defense that the item will receive when leveled up can be shown below the upgrade cost and decrease percentages in the upgrade template window. Aside from practice equipment, all other armor and weapons gain the same stats when they are upgraded. The market will determine the value of these stats. A weapon or armor with perfect rolls can command a much higher price than an unupp'd version. The same applies to other armor pieces, like tiaras and circlets.
