20 Fun Facts About Item Upgrading

Path of Exile Item Upgrading

In Path of Exile, item upgrading is one of the best ways to upgrade your equipment without relying on large-ticket drops or trade. This article will teach you how to upgrade your items efficiently.

Upgrades to equipment give a bonus on the item's stats. This bonus is based on the upgrade component's level and rarity.

Components

Upgrade components make your weapons and armour better. You can acquire them by the destruction of enemies, finding them in spheres of items or purchasing them from karma sellers. They can also be salvaged from equipment with them or by using the highest-quality salvage kits such as the Black Lion Salvage Kit or Ascended Salvage Tool. Unlike most other items upgrades aren't destroyed when they are removed from an item.

Upgrade components are primarily used to improve an item however, they can also be used for other reasons. They can be stacked to increase the quality of an item that can be upgraded or they can be used to enhance 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 while an upgrade boosts the attack or defense attributes of weapons.

You can connect an upgrade template to an item by selecting it from the edition GUI. This will display an upgrade component list that the item can be upgraded to. Alternately, you can utilize the workbench to select an upgrade template. In either scenario, an item will be upgraded once enough upgrade components have been gathered.

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

Each item has an upgrade limit number that can be received. The number of upgrades is determined by the upgradeable rank and the type of upgrade for the upgradeable item. For example, the highest possible weapon upgrade is a weapon with tier 10. The most common weapon upgrade is a gun of tier 6 and a armor upgrade of tier 5.

Sets

A set is a collection of items which share bonuses. Each item can be upgraded at minimum once. The upgrade increases the amount of bonuses you can expect to receive. When you first upgrade a set piece or weapon will give it a +1 increase to its primary stat. On subsequent upgrades, primary stats are enhanced even more (for instance the +1 bonus for 12+/13+/14+) and every time an item is upgraded one of its stats will increase randomly.

Upgrades to a weapon may increase the damage base, which could be crucial for certain builds. However, weapons can't be upgraded to have a greater defense base than their normal base. It is a good way to improve the value of a set and unique items, but it is important to keep in mind that they're not necessarily superior to a high-level runeword in any build.

If you're upgrading an item that has bonuses, the item can be rerolled a single time, and its guarantee will reset back to zero. The same power die is used to reroll an item, just as it would be to level it up. However, the new item has different bonuses. Upgrading can be done at the NPC [Armorthe ] Boboko in Central Flarine. To upgrade an item, you will require the proper amount of Minerals and Erons and a power dice of each kind. They can be purchased with Gold at the crafting table, or in the Ultra Collection. The NPC will also offer a special reward for each completed tier of the upgrade process. This reward can be rerolled a second time and will use the same materials as the original item.

Rerolling

If players have enough to reroll tokens, they are able to reroll any item that they've acquired during the game. If an upgraded item is rerolled, it will be exchanged for an equivalent version at a level 1 of the same item in another set. Reroll tokens are sold in the shop for a small amount of in-game currency. They cannot be refunded. The new item will have the same extra bonuses like the first, however the stats will differ.

In addition to rerolling objects, players can also alter the identity of any equipment by engaging with an upgrader NPC. This will change the identification from a weapon to armor or vice versa, all the while keeping its basic stats and required attributes. The change will last for a long time and affect all characters who own the equipment.

The player can also upgrade the item level for any equipped equipment. This can be done by talking to an upgrader NPC and getting upgrade items. It will cost a specific number of crests and Valorstones according to the upgrade track and kind. In the case of weapons, each step will add an additional 5% to its damage.

Upgrades can boost the effectiveness of an item, however they can also reduce the quality of an item. Therefore, it is important to strike a balance between the two. Certain items might not be worth upgrading at all however, others will need to be upgraded to realize their potential. A player may want to upgrade their breakpoint armor using an interesting modification (% block chance or FHR) in order to see what else it can become.

The primary reason why people play rerolls in Genshin Impact, or in any gacha-based game, is because they're trying to get a specific character or weapon that they aren't able to obtain. These items can be time-consuming and expensive to acquire, and the RNG isn't always a good fit. The only options left are to spend real cash or grind for a long time. Rerolling is a popular feature in Genshin Impact.

Leveling

You can select whether to upgrade the weapon or armor after upgrading an item. This feature isn't available in the current version of the game. I think this feature was intended to add some value to rare and expensive items. However, since most gear is replaced fairly quickly, and can only be leveled up one level, you will generally replace it before it gets too old. It's not worth upgrading items with gem sockets, as the power of the stone will outweigh any increase in the level of.

You will be presented with a small box when you click on the upgrade option for an item. It will display the item's template, the crest, and the cost for Valorstone to raise the level of the item. Armor and weapons have different costs, with the former usually being more expensive. The upgrade template lists the statistics that will be added to the upgraded item. It will also list its current ilvl.

The cost of the Valorstone and crest is calculated using the current Ilvl of the item and the upgrade templates. The ilvl is also reduced by the upgrade templates reduction percentage of lvl. For example, an upgrade of 8% can reduce the ilvl of a weapon by 8 to 8%.

In addition to the base ilvl increase it will also get upgrades in other stats such as critical strike damage, damage from PvE and dodge, block and parry rating. Those increases 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 observed below the cost and upgrade decrease percentages in the upgrade template window. All armor and weapons apart from practice equipment get these stats once they've been leveled up. item upgrader will determine the worth of these stats. A weapon or armor with perfect rolls can command a much higher price than an unupp'd version. The same applies to other armor pieces like circlets and Tiaras.
