Why You Should Focus On Improving Item Upgrading

Path of Exile Item Upgrading

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

Upgrading equipment grants a bonus to the item's base stats. The bonus increases with upgrade component level and rarity.

Components

Upgrade components are the items that improve your armor and weapons better. You can acquire them by the destruction of enemies, finding them in item spheres or purchasing them from karma sellers. You can also get them from equipment that has the components or by using high-end salvage kits like Black Lion Salvage Kit and Ascended Salvage Tool. In contrast to other items, upgrade components are not destroyed when they are 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 level upgrade or they can be used to increase the experience gained by upgrading an existing weapon or piece of gear. They can be forged to give extra bonuses. A crafted glyph can increase the upgrade chances of its target, and boost upgrades increase the defense or attack capabilities of weapons.

You can attach an upgrade template to an item by selecting it from the edition GUI. It will display an upgrade component list that the item can be upgraded to. You can also use the workbench for selecting an upgrade template. In either scenario, the item will be upgraded once enough upgrade components have been collected.

Each component has its own experience multiplier that affects the amount of experience an item will gain when it is upgraded with the component. Organic components, for example have a higher multiplier of experience than mechanical components. It is recommended to upgrade the organic components first, until you reach the next rank in the weapon or equipment and then move on to mechanical upgrades.

In addition to the experience multiplier, each item also has a maximum number of upgrades that it can receive. The number of upgrades are determined by the upgradeable rank and the type of upgrade for the upgradeable item. For instance, the highest possible upgrade item for a weapon is a tier 10 weapon. However, the most common weapon upgrades are an tier 6 weapon as well as an armor upgrade of tier 5.

Sets

A set is a group of items that have bonuses. Each item can be upgraded at the minimum once. The upgrade boosts the bonuses that are guaranteed. The first time you upgrade an item or set piece will give it a +1 increase to its primary stat. On subsequent upgrades the stats of the primary one will be boosted a little more (for instance, +1 to 12+/13+/14+) Every time you upgrade the item it will have one of its additional stats is boosted randomly.

Upgrading a weapon can also increase its damage base, which may be crucial for certain builds. However, weapons cannot be upgraded to a higher defense level than their base. Upgrades can be a great method to increase the value of certain sets and unique items, but it's important to remember that they may not be superior to a high-level runeword in any build.

If you are upgrading an item that has a bonus the item can be rerolled once and the guarantee will reset back to 0. Rerolling is the same amount of power dice as the process of leveling an item, however the upgraded item will come with different extra bonuses. Upgrades can be made at the NPC [Armor] Boboko in the Central Flarine. To upgrade an item, you will require a power die of each type (Dice 4 or 6 drop from monsters 21+ and Giants; dice 7 drops from bosses) and the right amount of Minerals and Erons. These can be purchased by using Gold at the crafting table or in the Ultra Collection. NPCs also offer special rewards for each completed level of the upgrade process. This reward is rerollable once, and the reroll will use the same materials used in the original item.

Rerolling

A player is able to play rerolling any item that they acquire in the game if they have enough tokens to do so. If an item is rerolled, it will be replaced with a level 1 version in another set. Reroll tokens are sold in the shop for a small sum of in-game currency. They cannot be refunded. The new item upgraded will still have the extra bonuses of the original one, but its stats will be different as well.

In addition to rerolling items, players can also change the identification of any item by interfacing with an upgrader NPC. This will change the identification as a weapon to armor or vice versa. Its base requirements and stats remain the same. The change will be permanent and will affect all characters who have the gear.

Players can also increase the item level of any equipped equipment by obtaining upgrade items and conversing with the upgrader NPC of the item. The cost will differ based on the upgrade track, the item type, and the number of crests. For weapons, each step up will add an additional 5percent to the damage.

Upgrading an item will make it more powerful however, it can also decrease its quality. It is therefore essential to find a balance between the two. Certain items might not be worth upgrading and some will require to be upgraded to maximize their potential. For instance an individual player may wish to upgrade a piece breakpoint armor that comes with an interesting modifier (% chance to block or FHR) to see what it can be.

Rerolling is a popular practice in Genshin Impact and other gacha-based games. It is a method used by players to gain access to the character or weapon they cannot otherwise get. These items can be expensive and time-consuming, and the RNG gods don't always want to cooperate. The only alternatives are to invest money or grind extensively. Rerolling is extremely popular in Genshin Impact.

Leveling

You can select whether to upgrade the weapon or armor when upgrading an item. However, this feature is absolutely nothing in the current game. I believe it was designed to to give some value to rare items, but because gear in general drops fairly quickly and can only be upgraded once you've reached a certain level it is likely that you will replace the item upgrade before it gets old enough. It's also not worthwhile to upgrade items with gem sockets since the value of the gem will be greater than the increased ilvl that comes with the upgrade.

You will see a small window when you click on the upgrade option for an item. It will display the item's template, the crest, and the Valorstone cost to raise the level of the item upgrader. The cost of upgrades will vary based on armor and weapons, with the former usually costing more than the latter. The upgrade template lists the stats that will be added to an upgraded item along with its current base ilvl.

The Crest and Valorstone costs are calculated according to the item's current ilvl as well as the upgrade template. The ilvl is also decreased by the upgrade templates reduction percentage of lvl. For instance weapons with an increase of 8% will reduce its value by 8-8 percent.

In addition to the increase in ilvl base the item will also get upgrades in other stats, such as critical strike damage, damage from PvE and dodge, block, and parry rating. These enhancements are also based on the upgrade template.

The amount of damage and defense that the item is able to receive as it gets leveled up can be shown below the upgrade cost and decrease percentages in the upgrade template window. All armor and weapons apart from practice equipment get these stats when they level up. The market determines the value of these stats. A weapon or armor that has perfect rolls can command more than an unupp'd version. Similar is the case for other armor pieces, like tiaras or circlets.
