10 Things People Hate About Item Upgrading
Path of Exile Item Upgrading
The best way to upgrade your equipment in Path of Exile is through upgrade of your items. This lets you enhance your gear without having to rely on expensive drops or trades. This article will show you how to upgrade your gear.
Upgrades to equipment give an additional bonus to the item's stats. The bonus increases with upgrade component's level and rarity.
Components

Upgrade components are the items that can make your weapons and armor better. You can find them by destroying enemies, buying them from karma vendors or finding them in item-spheres. You can also salvage them from equipment that contains the components or by using salvage kits of high-end quality, such as Black Lion Salvage Kit and Ascended Salvage Tool. Upgrade components cannot be destroyed when they are removed from an item.
The main purpose of upgrade components is to enable an item to be upgraded, however, they also serve other purposes. They can be used to increase the level or experience gained by upgrading existing weapons or gear. They can be forged to give extra bonuses. For instance, a specially created glyph can increase the upgrade chance of its target, and an upgrade boost will boost the defense or attack quality of a weapon or armor.
By selecting an upgrade template from the GUI will allow you to connect it to an item. This will display 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 after enough upgrade components have been gathered.
Each component is assigned an experience multiplier. This determines the amount of experience an item gains when upgraded using the component. For instance, organic components offer a higher experience multiplier than mechanical ones. You should upgrade the organic components first, until you reach the next rank in the weapon or equipment and then switch to the mechanical upgrades.
In addition to the multiplier of experience every item also has an maximum number of upgrades it can receive. The number of upgrades are determined by the upgradeable rank and the type of upgrade for the upgradeable item. For example, the highest possible upgrade for a weapon is a weapon with tier 10. The most commonly used upgrade is a gun of tier 6 and a armor upgrade for tier 5.
Sets
A set is a collection of items which all have the same bonus. Each item can be upgraded at the minimum once. The upgrade boosts the guaranteed bonuses. When you first upgrade an item or set piece is that it will be given a +1 increase to its primary stat. In subsequent upgrades, the primary stats will be increased a bit further (for example, +1 up to 12+/13+/14+) Every time you upgrade the item, one of its extra stats will be increased randomly.
The upgrade of a weapon can 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 way to improve the value of a set and unique items, however it is important to keep in mind that they might not be better than a high-level runeword in any build.
If the item you're upgrading has a guaranteed bonus it is able to be rerolled once and its guarantee will be reset to zero. Rerolling is the same amount of power dice as bringing an item, however the new item will have different extra bonuses. Upgrades can be made by visiting the NPC [Armorthe ] Boboko in the Central Flarine. To upgrade item upgrade , you'll require 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. NPCs will also provide special rewards for each completed level of the upgrade process. This reward can be rerolled a single time, using the same materials as original item.
Rerolling
A player is able to roll any item they have acquired during the game, provided they have enough reroll tokens to do so. When an upgraded item is being rerolled, it can be exchanged for a version at a level 1 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 cannot be refunded. The new item will come with the same bonuses as the original, but the stats will also be different.
In addition to rerolling items, players can also alter the identity of any equipment by engaging with an upgrader NPC. This will change the identification from a weapon to an armor or reverse the process. Its base requirements and stats will remain the same. The change is permanent and will affect all characters that own the gear in question.
Players can also increase the level of their item on any equipped device by obtaining upgrade item s and conversing with the upgrader NPC of the item. This will cost a set amount of crests as well as Valorstones depending on the upgrade track and the item type. In this link of weapons, each step will add 5% to its damage.
The upgrade of an item will make it more powerful however it can also decrease its quality. It is therefore important to strike a balance between the two. Certain items might not be worth upgrading and some will require to be upgraded to maximize their potential. One player may wish to upgrade the breakpoint armor by adding an interesting modification ( percent block chance, or FHR) in order to explore what else it can become.
Rerolling is a popular practice in Genshin Impact and other gacha-based games. People use it in order to get the character or weapon they cannot otherwise get. These items can be costly and time-consuming to acquire, and the RNG doesn't always play nice. The only alternative is to spend money or grind a lot. For this reason, rerolling is a popular option in Genshin Impact.
Leveling
You can decide to upgrade the weapon or armor when you upgrade an item. This feature is not available in the current version of the game. I believe that this feature was designed to increase the value of expensive and rare items. However, as most equipment is replaced quickly, and can only be leveled up one level, you'll generally replace it before it becomes too old. It is also not worth upgrading items using gem sockets, as the power of the stone will outweigh any increment in the level of.
You will see a small window when you click on the upgrade option on an item. It will display the item's template, the crest, and the cost for Valorstone to raise the level of the item. The cost will differ between the armor and weapons as well, with the former typically costing more than the latter. The upgrade template shows the statistics that will be added to the upgraded item. It will also list its current ilvl.
The Crest and Valorstone costs are calculated based on the current ilvl of the item and the upgrade template. Additionally the ilvl of the new upgraded item will be reduced by the template's lvl decrease percentage. For example an upgrade of 8% can reduce the weapon's ilvl by 8 to 8%.
The item will get upgrades to other stats, such as critical strike damage, PvE damage and block, parry, and dodge rating, in addition to the base level. The increases are also based on the upgrade template.
The amount of defense and damage the item receives when it is leveled can be seen below the cost and upgrade decrease percentages in the upgrade template window. Aside from practice equipment, all weapons and armor gain these same stats when upgraded. The value of these stats will be dictated by the market, with a perfectly perfectly rolled weapon or piece of armor is able to command more trade value than non-upp'd versions. The same applies to other pieces of armor such as tiaras and circlets.
