Path of Exile Item Upgrading
In Path of Exile, item upgrading is among the best ways to upgrade your gear without relying on massive drops or trade. This article will help you understand how to upgrade your items.
Upgrades to equipment grant an increase in the item's stats. The bonus is depending on the rarity and level of the upgrade component.
Components
Upgrade components can make your weapons and armour better. You can locate them by destroying enemies, buying them from karma sellers or finding them in items-spheres. They can also be rescued from equipment that contains them, or by utilizing the highest-quality salvage kits like the Black Lion Salvage Kit or Ascended Salvage Tool. Upgrade components cannot be destroyed when you remove them from the item.
Upgrade components are typically used to upgrade an item however, they can also be used for other reasons. They can be stacked 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 be made for extra bonuses. For instance, a specially designed glyph will increase the chance of upgrading its target, while an upgrade boost will increase the attack or defense quality of a weapon or armor.
You can attach an upgrade template to an item by selecting it from the edition GUI. This will show the upgrade components that the item can be updated. You can also make use of the workbench to choose an upgrade template. In either case, an item will be upgraded when enough upgrade components have been gathered.
Each component is assigned an experience multiplier. This determines how much experience an item will gain when upgraded using that component. Organic components, for example have more experience multipliers than mechanical components. Therefore, it is recommended to upgrade with organic components until you reach the experience multiplier for the next level of the equipment or weapon, and then move to mechanical upgrades.
Each item has an upgrade limit number that is available for. The number of items that can be upgraded is determined by their upgradeable rank and the type of upgrade they are able to receive. The most powerful upgrade is a weapon of 10th level. The most popular weapon upgrade is a gun of tier 6 and a armor upgrade of tier 5.
Sets
A set is a set of items which all have the same bonus. Each item can be upgraded at the least once. The upgrade increases the bonuses that are guaranteed. The first time you upgrade an item, its primary stat will be +1. In subsequent upgrades the stats of the primary one will be boosted a little further (for example, +1 to 12+/13+/14+) Each time you upgrade the item, one of its extra stats is increased randomly.
Upgrades can also increase the damage base of a weapon. This can be crucial for certain types of builds. However, weapons cannot be upgraded to a higher maximum defense roll than their normal base. Upgrading can be a good option to increase the value of some set and unique items, however it is important to keep in mind that they may not be more effective than a high-level raneword in any build.
If you are upgrading an item that comes with a bonus the item can be rerolled one time, and its guarantee will reset back to 0. Rerolling will cost the same amount of power dice as the process of leveling an item up, but the new item will offer additional bonuses. The NPC [ArmorBoboko Boboko can upgrade your armor in Central Flarine. To upgrade an item, you'll 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 can be purchased by using Gold at the crafting table or in the Ultra Collection. The NPC will also provide an additional reward for each tier of the upgrade process. This reward can be rerolled once, and the reroll will use the same materials used in the original item.
Rerolling
If a player has enough rerolling tokens, they can reroll any item that they have acquired during the game. When an upgraded item is to be rerolled, it will be exchanged for the level 1 version of the same item in a different set. Reroll tokens can be bought from the store for a small amount of in-game currency, but they are not refundable. The new item upgrade d will still come with the extra benefits of the previous one, but its stats will differ too.
Players can alter the identification of their equipment, in addition to 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 the attributes it requires. The change will be permanent and will affect all characters who have the equipment.
The player can also upgrade the level of an item for any equipment equipped. This can be done by interacting with an upgrader NPC, and then obtaining upgrade components. This will cost a certain amount of crests and Valorstones dependent on the upgrade track and the item kind. For weapons, each upgrade will add 5% to its damage.
Upgrading an item can boost its power however, it can reduce its effectiveness. Therefore, it is important to strike a balance between the two. Certain items might not be worth upgrading at all, while others will need to be upgraded in order to realize their potential. For instance one player might decide to upgrade a piece of breakpoint armor that has an interesting modifier ( percent chance of blocking or FHR) to explore the possibilities of what it can become.
The primary reason why people reroll in Genshin Impact, or in any gacha-based game, is because they're trying to obtain a particular character or weapon that they can't otherwise obtain. These items can be time-consuming and expensive to obtain, and the RNG does not always work in a positive way. The only options are to invest real money or grind for a long time. Rerolling is very popular in Genshin Impact.
Leveling
You can choose 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 believe it was designed to to increase the value of rare items, but as equipment generally drops quickly and can only be upgraded once you've reached a certain level and you'll typically replace the item before it gets old enough. It's not worth it to upgrade item s with gem sockets since the value of the gem will be greater than the higher ilvl that comes with the upgrade.
If you click on the upgrade option on an item, you will see a small window with the item's upgrade template and the crest and Valorstone costs to increase the item level. The cost will differ between the armor and weapons, with the former usually costing more than the latter. The upgrade template lists the stats that will be added to the upgraded item and also lists its current base ilvl.
The crest and Valorstone costs are calculated according to the item's current ilvl as well as the upgrade template. In addition, the ilvl of the new upgraded item will be decreased by the template's lvl decrease percentage. For example weapons with an 8% upgrade decrease will reduce its count by 8-8 percent.
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 level. These upgrades are also based on the upgrade template.
The amount of defense and damage the item will receive when leveled up can be shown below the cost and upgrade decrease percentages in the upgrade template window. Aside from practice equipment, all other items and armor get the same stats once upgraded. The value of these stats will be determined by the market, with a perfectly rolled perfect version of a piece of armor or weapon can command significantly more in trade value than unupp'd versions. This is also true for other pieces of armor like circlets and tiaras.
