Path of Exile Item Upgrading
In Path of Exile, item upgrading is among the best ways to upgrade your gear without relying upon big-ticket drops or trade. This article will help you understand how to upgrade your gear.
Upgrades to equipment grant an additional bonus to the item's stats. The amount of bonus varies based on the rarity and level of the upgrade component.
Components
Upgrade components are the items that can make your weapons and armor better. You can locate them by destroying enemies, purchasing 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-tier salvage kits such as Black Lion Salvage Kit and Ascended Salvage Tool. Upgrade components cannot be destroyed by removing them from an item.
The main purpose of upgrade components is to enable an item to be upgraded but they also serve other functions. They can be stacked in order to increase the level of experience gained from upgrading existing equipment or weapons. They can also be forged to give additional bonuses. A crafted glyph can increase the chances of upgrading its target while an upgrade boosts the attack or defense attributes of the weapon.
You can bind an upgrade template to an item by selecting it from the edition GUI. This will show the list of upgrade components that the item can be upgraded to. Alternatively, you can make use of the workbench to choose an upgrade template. In either scenario, the item will be upgraded when enough upgrade components are collected.
Each component has a different experience multiplier that affects how much more experience an item gets when it is upgraded by the component. For instance, organic components give more experience multipliers than mechanical ones. It is therefore recommended to upgrade with organic components until you reach the multiplier of experience for the next level of the equipment or weapon, and then move to mechanical upgrades.
In addition to the multiplier of experience, each item also has a maximum number of upgrades that it can receive. The number of items that are upgradeable is determined by their upgradeable rank and the type of upgrade they can get. The highest upgrade possible is a weapon with 10th level. item upgrader is a gun of tier 6 and an armor upgrade of tier 5.
Sets
A set is a collection of items that all share the same bonus. Each item can be upgraded at the least once. The upgrade boosts the amount of bonuses you can expect to receive. The first time you upgrade an item, its initial stat will be +1. On subsequent upgrades the stats of the primary one will be increased a bit further (for example, +1 up to 12+/13+/14+), and each time you upgrade the item it will have one of its additional stats is increased randomly.
Upgrades to a weapon may increase the damage base, which may be important for some builds. However, weapons cannot be upgraded to a higher defense base than their regular 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're not necessarily more effective than a high-level raneword in any build.
If an item you're upgrading has a guaranteed bonus it is able to be rerolled only once, and then its guarantee will be reset to zero. Rerolling will cost the same amount of power dice as leveling an item up, but the upgraded item will come with additional bonuses. The NPC [ArmorBoboko Boboko can upgrade your armor in Central Flarine. To upgrade an item you will require the proper amount of Minerals and Erons and a power dice of each type. These are available at the crafting table or in the Ultra Collector and can be purchased using Gold. NPCs will also provide special rewards for each level of the upgrade process. The reward can be rerolled one time, using the same materials as original item.
Rerolling
A player can roll any item they have acquired in the game provided they have enough tokens to be able to do so. If an item is rerolled, it will be replaced with a level 1 version in another set. Reroll tokens can be purchased at the store for small amounts of in-game currency. However, they aren't refundable. The new item will come with the same extra bonuses like the first, however the statistics will also be different.
Players can alter the identification of equipment in addition to rolling it again by interacting with an upgrader NPC. This will change the identification from an armored weapon to a weapon, or vice versa, all the while keeping its basic stats and the attributes it requires. The change is permanent and will affect all characters that own the gear in question.
Players can also increase the item level of any equipped equipment by obtaining upgrade items and conversing with the item's upgrader NPC. The cost will differ based on the upgrade track, item type and the number of crests. Each step will give 5% more damage to weapons.
Upgrades can increase the capability of an item, however they also can decrease the quality of an item. 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 in order to realize their potential. A player may want to upgrade the breakpoint armor by adding an interesting modifier ( percent block chance, or FHR) in order to explore what else it can be.
The primary reason why 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 doesn't always play nice. The only options left are to invest real money or grind a lot. Rerolling is a popular feature in Genshin Impact.
Leveling
You can decide to upgrade the weapon or armor when upgrading an item. However, this feature is absolutely nothing in the current game. I think it was meant to be a way to increase the value of rare items, but since equipment generally drops quickly and is only upgraded one level up and you'll typically replace the item before it gets too old. It's not worth upgrading items using gem sockets since the power of the gem will outweigh any increase in ilvl.
You will be presented with a small box when you click the upgrade option for an item. It will display the template for the item, its Crest, as well as the cost of Valorstone to increase the item's level. The cost of upgrades will vary based on armor and weapons, with the former usually costing more than the latter. The upgrade template outlines the stats that can be added to an upgraded item, as well as its current ilvl.
The Crest and Valorstone costs are calculated by analyzing the current ilvl of the item and the upgrade template. The ilvl is also decreased by the upgrade templates reduction percentage for lvl. For instance weapons with an increase of 8% will reduce its value by 8-8 percent.
The item will receive upgrades to other stats, such as critical strike damage, PvE damages and block, parry and dodge rating in addition to the base level. Those increases are also dependent on the upgrade template.
The amount of defense and damage the item receives when leveled up can be observed below the upgrade cost and decrease percentages in the upgrade template window. All weapons and armor apart from practice equipment gain these stats upon leveling up. The value of these additional stats will be determined by the market, with a perfectly rolled version of a piece of armor or weapon can command significantly more trade value than non-upp'd versions. This is also true for other armor pieces, such as circlets and tiaras.
