20 Resources That'll Make You More Efficient With Item Upgrading
Path of Exile Item Upgrading
The most effective way to improve your gear in Path of Exile is through upgrade of your items. This allows you to enhance your gear without having to rely on expensive drops or trades. This article will teach you how to upp your items efficiently.
Upgrading equipment grants a bonus to the item's base stats. The amount of bonus varies depending on the rarity and level of the upgrade component.
Components
Upgrade components make your armour and weapons better. You can find them through destroying enemies, buying them from karma vendors or finding them in item-spheres. the original source can also get them from equipment that has the components or through salvage kits of high-end quality, such as Black Lion Salvage Kit and 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 but they can also be used for other purposes. They can be stacked to increase the level of experience gained from upgrading existing weapons or gear. They can be forged to give additional benefits. For instance, a created glyph can increase the chance of upgrading its target, whereas a boost upgrade will boost the defense or attack property of a weapon, or armor.
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 upgraded. You can also use the workbench for selecting 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 the amount of experience an item gains when upgraded using that component. Organic components, like have more experience multipliers than mechanical components. It is recommended to upgrade organic components first until you reach the next rank in the weapon or equipment, and then move on to mechanical upgrades.
In addition to the multiplier of experience Each item also comes with an maximum number of upgrades it can receive. The number of upgrades is determined by the rank that can be upgraded and the upgrade type of the upgradeable item. For example, the highest possible weapon upgrade is a tier 10 weapon. The most commonly used upgrade is a gun of tier 6 and an 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 least once. The upgrade boosts the amount of bonuses you can expect to receive. The first time you upgrade the set piece or weapon, it will receive an increase of +1 to its primary stat. Following upgrades, primary stats are increased even more (for instance the +1 bonus for 12+/13+/14+) and every time an item is upgraded, one of its additional stats increases randomly.
The upgrade of a weapon can increase its damage base, which can be important for some builds. Weapons cannot be upgraded for greater maximum defence rolls than their base. It is possible to increase value of specific sets and unique items by upgrading them, but they might not always be superior to a high-level Runeword.
If an item you're upgrading has a guarantee bonus that is guaranteed, it can be rerolled a few times, and then its guarantee will be reset to zero. The same power die is used to roll an item, just as it is used to level it up. However the new item comes with different bonuses. Upgrades can be completed by visiting the NPC [ArmorBoboko. Boboko in Central Flarine. To upgrade an item, you will require a power dice of each kind (Dice 4 or 6 drop from monsters 21+ and Giants; Dice 7 drops from bosses) and the right amount of Minerals and Erons. These can be bought by using Gold at the crafting table or in the Ultra Collection. NPCs also offer special rewards for each stage of the upgrade process. This reward can be rerolled a single time using the same materials and components as the first item.
Rerolling
A player is able to reroll any item acquired in the game if they have enough tokens to be able to do so. If an upgraded item is being rerolled, it can be exchanged for a level 1 version of the same item in a different set. Reroll tokens are available at the store for a small amount of in-game currency. They are not refundable. The new item will have the same extra bonuses like the first, however the statistics will also be different.
Players can change the identification of their equipment, in addition to changing it's roll by interfacing with an upgrader NPC. This will change the identity from a weapon to armor or vice versa, while keeping its basic stats and the attributes it requires. The change will last for a long time and affect all characters that own the gear.
The player can also upgrade the level of the item for any equipment equipped. This can be done by interacting with an upgrader NPC and obtaining upgrade components. It will cost a specific number of crests and Valorstones depending on the upgrade track and the item type. In the case of weapons, each step up will add 5percent to the damage.
Upgrading an item will make it more powerful, but it will also lower its quality. It is therefore important to find a balance between these two. Some items may not be worth upgrading at all and some will require to be upgraded in order to maximize their potential. For example, a player might wish to upgrade a piece breakpoint armor with an interesting modifier (% chance to block or FHR) to discover what it could be.
Rerolling is a common practice in Genshin Impact and other gacha-based games. People do it to try to obtain an item or character they cannot otherwise get. These items can be costly and time-consuming to obtain and the RNG does not always work in a positive way. The only other options are to spend money or grind a lot. Rerolling is extremely popular in Genshin Impact.
Leveling
You can choose whether to upgrade the weapon or armor after upgrading an item. However, this feature is absolutely nothing in the current game. I believe that this feature was created to give value to expensive and rare items. However, since most equipment is replaced quickly, and can only be upgraded to a certain level, you will usually replace it before it becomes too old. It is also not worth upgrading items with gem sockets because the power of the gemstone will outweigh any increase in ilvl.
When you click the upgrade button on an item, you'll see a small window with the item's upgrade template and the cost of crest and Valorstone to boost the level of the item. Armor and weapons have different costs, with the former usually being more expensive. The upgrade template lists the stats that will be added to the upgraded item and it also lists the 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 reduction percentage for lvl. For item upgrading , an upgrade of 8% will reduce the ilvl of a weapon by 8 to 8percent.
The item will be upgraded to other stats, such as critical strike damage, PvE damage and block, parry and dodge rating in addition to the base level. These upgrades are also based on the upgrade template.
In the upgrade template you can check the amount of damage or defense the item will suffer after it is leveled up. This is shown below the cost and the upgrade percentages. All weapons and armor that are not practice equipment gain these stats upon leveling up. The value of these stats will be dictated by the market, with a perfectly perfectly rolled version of a weapon or piece of armor able to command much higher trade values than non-upp'd versions. Similar is the case for other armor pieces, like tiaras and circlets.
