20 Things You Must Be Educated About Item Upgrading
Path of Exile Item Upgrading
In Path of Exile, item upgrading is among the most effective ways to upgrade your equipment without relying on big-ticket drops or trade. This article will teach you how to upgrade your gear.
Upgrades to equipment give a bonus on the item's stats. The bonus is based on the rarity and strength of the upgrade component.
Components
Upgrade components are the items that improve your armor and weapons more effective. You can locate them through destroying enemies, buying them from karma sellers or finding them in item-spheres. You can also salvage them from equipment containing the components or through high-end salvage kits like Black Lion Salvage Kit and Ascended Salvage Tool. Upgrade components are not 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 functions. They can be stacked to increase the level of experience gained from upgrading existing equipment or weapons. They can also be made to offer additional benefits. For instance, a specially designed glyph will increase the chance of upgrading its target, while the boost upgrade can increase the attack or defense quality of a weapon or armor.
You can bind an upgrade template to an item by selecting it from the edition GUI. This will show the upgrade components that the item can be upgraded. Alternately, you can use the workbench to select an upgrade template. In either scenario, an item will be upgraded when enough upgrade components have been gathered.
Each component has a different experience multiplier that affects the amount of experience an item will gain when it upgrades with the component. For instance, organic components have a an experience multiplier that is higher than mechanical ones. It is therefore recommended to upgrade with organic components until you have reached the multiplier of experience for the next level of the weapon or gear, and then move to mechanical upgrades.
In addition to the multiplier for experience, each item also has an maximum number of upgrades that it can receive. The number of items that can be upgraded is determined by their upgradeable rank, and the type of upgrade they are able to receive. For example, the highest possible weapon upgrade is a tier 10 weapon. The most commonly used upgrade is a tier 6 gun and a armor upgrade of tier 5.
item upgrades is a collection of items that share the same bonus. Each item in the set can be upgraded at least once and each upgrade boosts the guaranteed bonuses. When you first upgrade an item, its initial stat will be +1. After subsequent upgrades, the primary stats are boosted even further (for instance the +1 bonus for 12+/13+/14+) and every time an item is upgraded one of its stats will increase randomly.
The upgrade of a weapon can increase its damage base, which can be necessary for certain builds. Weapons cannot be upgraded for a higher maximum defence roll than their base. Upgrading can be a good option to increase the value of certain sets and unique items, however it's important to remember that they may not be superior to a high-level runeword in any build.
If you're upgrading an item that comes with bonuses the item can be rerolled one time and the guarantee will reset to 0. The same power dies are used to roll an item, just as it would be to level it up. However the new item comes with different bonuses. Upgrades can be completed at the NPC [Armor] Boboko in the Central Flarine. To upgrade an item, you will require a power dice of each type (Dice 4 or 6 drop from monsters 21+ and Giants; dice 7 drops from bosses) and the appropriate amount of Minerals and Erons. These are available at the crafting table or the Ultra Collector and can be purchased using Gold. NPCs also offer special rewards for each completed stage of the upgrade process. The reward can be rerolled one time, using the same materials as the original item.
Rerolling
If a player has enough rerolling tokens, they can play rerolling any item they've acquired during the game. If an item is rerolled, it will be replaced with the same level in another set. Reroll tokens are available at the store for a small amount of in-game currency. However, they aren't refundable. The upgraded item will still come with the extra benefits of the previous one however, its stats will differ also.
In addition to rerolling items players can also change the identification of any equipment by engaging with an upgrader NPC. This will change the identity from a weapon to armor or vice versa, all the while maintaining its base stats and required attributes. The change is permanent and will affect all characters who own the gear in question.
The player can also upgrade the level of an item for any equipped equipment. This can be done by engaging with an upgrader NPC and getting upgrade components. The cost of upgrading will depend on the upgrade track, item type and number of crests. In the case of weapons, each step up will add an additional five percent to the damage.
Upgrades can increase the power of an item, however they can also reduce the quality of an item. Therefore, it is important to strike a balance between the two. Some items aren't worth upgrading, while others need to be upgraded to maximize their potential. For example, a player might wish to upgrade a piece of breakpoint armor that comes with an interesting modifier ( percent chance of blocking or FHR) to see what it can be.
The primary reason people reroll in Genshin Impact, or in any gacha-based game is that they're trying to obtain a particular character or weapon that they aren't able to obtain. These items can be costly and time-consuming to obtain, and the RNG doesn't always play nice. The only alternative is to invest money or grind extensively. Rerolling is extremely popular in Genshin Impact.
Leveling
You can decide to upgrade the weapon or armor when upgrading an item. This feature isn't available in the current version of the game. I believe this feature was created to increase the value of expensive and rare items. However, since the majority of items are replaced quite quickly, and can only be leveled up to a certain level, you will usually replace it before it is too old. It is also not worth upgrading items with gem sockets, as the power of the stone will outweigh any increase in ilvl.
If you click on the upgrade option on an item, you'll see a small window with the upgrade template of the item as well as the cost of Valorstone and crest to increase the item level. Armor and weapons will have different costs, with the former typically being more costly. The upgrade template shows the statistics that will be added to the upgraded item and it also lists the current ilvl.
The Crest and Valorstone costs are calculated according to the item's current ilvl and the upgrade template. The ilvl is also reduced by the upgrade templates reduction percentage for lvl. For example an upgrade of 8% will reduce the ilvl of a weapon by 8 to 8%.
The item will receive upgrades to other stats, such as critical strike damage, PvE damage, and block, parry, and dodge rating, in addition to the base level. These enhancements are also based on the upgrade template.
The amount of defense and damage the item receives when leveled up can be observed below the cost and upgrade decrease percentages in the upgrade template window. All weapons and armor apart from practice equipment gain these stats upon leveling up. The market determines the value of these stats. A weapon or armor that has perfect rolls can fetch a much higher price than an unupp'd version. Similar is the case for other pieces of armor, such as tiaras and circlets.
