5 Things Everyone Gets Wrong Regarding Item Upgrading
Path of Exile Item Upgrading
The best way to improve your gear in Path of Exile is through upgrade item of your items. This lets you improve it without having to rely on expensive trades or drops. This article will help you understand how to upgrade your items.
Upgrades in equipment can add an increase to the item's base stats. The amount of bonus varies based on the rarity and strength of the upgrade component.
Components
Upgrade components make your weapons and armour better. You can find them by destroying enemies, buying them from karma sellers or finding them in item-spheres. You can also get them from equipment containing the components or through salvage kits of high-end quality, such as Black Lion Salvage Kit and Ascended Salvage Tool. Unlike most other items, upgrade components are not destroyed when removed from an item.
Upgrade components are primarily used to upgrade an item, however, they can also be used for other reasons. They can be used to increase the level of an upgradeable item, or they can be used to increase the experience gained when upgrading an existing weapon or piece of equipment. They can also be forged to provide extra bonuses. For example, a created glyph can increase the chance of upgrading its target, and an upgrade boost will increase the attack or defense attribute of a weapon or armor.
You can connect an upgrade template to an item by selecting it from the edition GUI. This will show the upgrade components to which the item can be upgraded. You can also use the workbench when selecting an upgrade template. In either case, an item will be upgraded when enough upgrade components have been gathered.
Each component has a different experience multiplier, which affects the amount of experience an item gets when it upgrades with the component. Organic components, for example have an increased multiplier of experience than mechanical components. It is therefore best to upgrade using organic components until you reach the experience multiplier of the next rank of the weapon or gear, and then change to mechanical upgrades.
Each item upgrader comes with an upgrade maximum number that is available for. The number of items that are upgradeable is determined by their upgradeable rank, and the type of upgrade they can receive. The highest upgrade possible is a weapon of the tier 10. However, the most common upgrade items for weapons is an tier 6 weapon as well as a tier 5 armor upgrade.
Sets
A set is a group of items that share the benefit of. Each item can be upgraded at minimum once. The upgrade boosts the guaranteed bonuses. When you first upgrade the set piece or weapon is that it will be given a +1 increase to its primary stat. After subsequent upgrades the primary stats will be boosted a little more (for example, +1 to 12+/13+/14+) Every time you upgrade the item with an additional stats is boosted randomly.
Upgrades can also boost the base damage of a weapon. This can be crucial for certain types of builds. However, weapons can't be upgraded to have a higher defense base than their regular base. It is possible to increase value of specific sets and unique items by upgrading them, but they may not always be superior to a high-level Runeword.
If you're upgrading an item that comes with an added bonus, the item can be rerolled a single time and the guarantee will reset to zero. The same amount of power die is used to roll an item as it would be used to increase its level. However the new item comes with different bonuses. Upgrading can be done at the NPC [Armor] Boboko in Central Flarine. To upgrade an item, you'll need a power die 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 are available at the crafting table or the Ultra Collector, and are available for purchase with Gold. The NPC will also give a special reward for each tier of the upgrade process. This reward can be rerolled a second time and will use the same materials used in the original item.
Rerolling
A player can roll any item they have acquired in the game if they have enough tokens to do so. If an item is rerolled, it will be replaced with the same level in another set. Reroll tokens can be bought at the store for an amount of in-game currency, but they are not refundable. The new upgraded item will have the same bonuses of the original one however its stats will be different as well.
Players can alter the identification of their equipment as well as rolling it again by interacting with a NPC upgrader. This will change the identification from an armor to a weapon or vice versa, while maintaining its base stats and the attributes it requires. The change will last for a long time and affect all characters who own the equipment.
Players can also increase the level of their item on any equipped equipment by acquiring upgrade components and communicating with the NPC who upgrades the item. It will cost a specific amount of crests as well as Valorstones dependent on the upgrade track and item kind. Each step will give an additional 5% of damage to weapons.
The upgrade of an item can boost its power however it can also decrease its quality. It is therefore important to keep both in check. Certain items aren't worth upgrading, while other items need to be upgraded to reach their full potential. A player may want to upgrade the breakpoint armor by adding an interesting modification ( percent block chance or FHR) to discover what it could become.
The primary reason people reroll in Genshin Impact, or in any gacha-based game is because they are trying to obtain a particular 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 spend real money or grind extensively. For this reason, rerolling is a popular option in Genshin Impact.
Leveling
You can select whether to upgrade the weapon or armor when you upgrade an item. This feature isn't available in the current version of the game. I think this feature was created to increase the value of rare and expensive items. However, as most items are replaced quite quickly, and can only be leveled up one level, you will typically replace it before it gets too old. It's also not worth it to upgrade items with gem sockets as the power of the gem will far outweigh the increase in ilvl with the upgrade.
If you click on the upgrade option on an item, you will be presented with a small window displaying the upgrade template of the item as well as the cost of crest and Valorstone to boost the level of the item. Armor and weapons 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 also lists 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 the new upgraded item will be decreased by the template's lvl decrease percentage. For instance the weapon that has an upgrade decrease of 8% will decrease its count by 8-8%.
The item will get upgrades to other stats, like critical strike damage, PvE damages, and block, parry and dodge rating, in addition to the base ilvl. The increases are also dependent on the upgrade template.
The amount of damage and defense that the item receives when it is leveled can be shown below the upgrade cost and decrease percentages in the upgrade template window. All weapons and armor, except practice equipment, get these stats once they've been leveled up. The value of these stats will be determined by the market, with a perfectly rolled version of a weapon or piece of armor is able to command more in trade value than unupp'd versions. The same is true for other armor pieces such as circlets or Tiaras.
