Path of Exile Item Upgrading

The best method to upgrade your gear in Path of Exile is through item upgrades. This allows you to enhance your gear without having to rely on expensive trades or drops. This article will help you understand how to upgrade your gear.

Upgrades in equipment can add an increase to the item's base stats. The bonus increases with upgrade component's level and rarity.

Components

Upgrade components can make your weapons and armour better. You can find them by destroying enemies, buying them from karma vendors, or finding them in the form of item-spheres. They can also be salvaged from equipment with them, or by utilizing the highest-quality salvage kits such as the Black Lion Salvage Kit or Ascended Salvage Tool. In contrast to other items, upgrade components are not destroyed when they are removed from an item.

Upgrade components are typically used to improve an item but they can also be used for other reasons. They can be stacked to boost the value of an upgradeable item or they can be used to enhance the experience gained when upgrading an existing weapon or piece of equipment. They can be forged to give additional bonuses. A glyph that is crafted can boost the upgrade chances of its target while a boost upgrade increases the defense or attack capabilities of weapons.

You can attach 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 updated. You can also use the workbench to select 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. This determines the amount of experience an item can gain when upgraded with that component. For instance, organic components offer more experience multipliers than mechanical ones. It is therefore best to upgrade with organic components until you reach the multiplier of experience for the next level of the equipment or weapon, and then switch to mechanical upgrades.

Each item has an upgrade limit number that can be received. The number of upgradeable items is determined by their upgradeable rank and the type of upgrade they are able to receive. For instance, the highest possible weapon upgrade is a tier 10 weapon. However, the most common upgrades for weapons are the tier 6 weapon and a tier 5 armor upgrade.

Sets

A set is a collection of objects that all share the same bonus. Each item in the set can be upgraded at least once, and the upgrade will increase its guaranteed bonuses. The first time you upgrade an item upgrader, its initial stat will be +1. After subsequent upgrades, the 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.

Upgrading a weapon can also increase the damage base, which may be necessary for certain builds. Weapons cannot be upgraded for an increased maximum defence roll than their base. It is a good method to increase the value of a set and unique items, but it is important to keep in mind that they might not be superior to a high-level runeword in any build.

If an item you're upgrading has a guaranteed bonus, it can be rerolled once and the guarantee will reset to 0. Rerolling is the same amount of power dice as leveling an item up, but the new item will offer various bonuses. Upgrading can be done at the NPC [Armor] Boboko in the 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 are available at the crafting table or the Ultra Collector, and can be purchased with Gold. The NPC will also offer an extra reward for each completed tier of the upgrade process. This reward can be rerolled a single time with the same materials and components as the first item upgrade.

Rerolling

A player is able to reroll any item acquired in the game if they have enough reroll tokens to be able to do so. When an upgraded item gets rerolled, it will be exchanged for the version that is level 1 of the same item in another set. Reroll tokens are available at the store for a small amount of in-game currency. They are not refundable. The new item upgraded will still have the extra bonuses of the first, but its stats will differ as well.

In addition to rerolling items players can also change the identification of any equipment by interacting with an upgrader NPC. This will change the identification from a weapons to armor, or reverse the process. The basic stats and requirements will remain the same. The change is permanent and will affect all characters that are wearing the gear.

The player can also upgrade their item level for any equipped equipment. This can be done by interacting with an upgrader NPC and obtaining upgrade items. This will cost a set amount of crests and Valorstones according to the upgrade track and item upgrader kind. Each step will give 5% more damage to weapons.

An upgrade will make it more powerful however it can also decrease its quality. Therefore, it is crucial to keep both in check. Some items may not be worth upgrading at all however, others will need to be upgraded to reach their potential. One player may wish to upgrade the breakpoint armor by adding an interesting modification ( percent block chance or FHR) to discover what it could be.

Rerolling is a popular practice in Genshin Impact and other gacha-based games. People use it to gain access to the character or weapon that they wouldn't otherwise have. The process of obtaining these items can be costly and time-consuming and the RNG gods do not always want to cooperate. The only choices left are to spend real cash or grind for a long time. Rerolling is extremely popular in Genshin Impact.

Leveling

You can select whether to upgrade the weapon or armor when you upgrade an item upgrader. This feature isn't available in the current version of the game. I believe it was designed to to add value to rare items, but as equipment generally drops quickly and can only be upgraded once you've reached a certain level it is likely that you will replace the item before it gets old enough. It's not worth upgrading items with gem sockets because the power of the stone will outweigh any increment in ilvl.

When you click the upgrade button 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 increase the level of the Item Upgrade. The cost will differ between weapons and armor and the latter typically costing more than the latter. The upgrade template outlines the stats to be added to an upgraded item as well as its current base ilvl.

The crest and Valorstone costs are calculated based on the current ilvl of the item and the upgrade template. The ilvl is also reduced by the upgrade template's lvl reduction percentage. For example, a weapon 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. The increases are also dependent on the upgrade template.

In the upgrade template you can check the amount of damage or defense an item will suffer after being leveled up. This is shown below the cost as well as the upgrade percentages. Apart from the equipment for practice, all armor and weapons gain the same stats when they are leveled up. The market determines the value of these stats. A weapon or armor with perfect rolls can fetch a much higher price than an unupp'd version. This is also true for other pieces of armor like circlets and Tiaras.
