Three Reasons Why Your Item Upgrading Is Broken (And How To Repair It)
Path of Exile Item Upgrading
The best method to improve your equipment in Path of Exile is through upgrading your items. This lets you enhance your gear without having to depend on costly trades or drops. This article will help you understand how to upgrade your gear.
Upgrading equipment grants an increase to the item's base stats. The amount of bonus varies based on the rarity and level of the upgrade component.
Components
Upgrade components are the things that improve your armor and weapons more effective. They can be found through destroying enemies, buying them from karma vendors or finding them in item-spheres. You can also get them from equipment that has the components or by using salvage kits of high-end quality, such as Black Lion Salvage Kit and Ascended Salvage Tool. In contrast to other items, upgrade components are not destroyed when they are removed from an item.
The main function of upgrade components is to allow an item to be upgraded, however, they also serve other purposes. They can be stacked in order to increase the level or the amount of experience gained by upgrading equipment or weapons. They can be made for additional benefits. For example, a crafted glyph will boost the chances of upgrading its target, while the boost upgrade can boost the defense or attack attribute of a weapon or armor.
Selecting an upgrade template in the GUI will allow you to connect it to an item. This will show a list of upgrade components that the item can be upgraded to. You can also use the workbench to selecting an upgrade template. In either instance the item will be upgraded after enough upgrade components have been collected.
Each component has a distinct experience multiplier that affects how much more experience an item receives when it is upgraded by the component. Organic components, like have an increased multiplier of experience than mechanical components. It is therefore recommended to upgrade using organic components until you reach the multiplier of experience for the next rank of weapon or gear, and then move to mechanical upgrades.
Each item has a maximum upgrade number that it is possible to receive. The number of upgrades are determined by the rank that can be upgraded and the type of upgrade for the upgradeable item. The highest upgrade possible is a weapon of the tier 10. The most commonly used upgrade is a gun of tier 6 and an armor upgrade of tier 5.
Sets
A set is a collection of objects that share the same bonus. Each item can be upgraded at the minimum once. The upgrade increases the guaranteed bonuses. The first time you upgrade an item, its initial stat will be +1. After subsequent upgrades the primary stats will be boosted a little more (for example, +1 up to 12+/13+/14+), and each time you upgrade the item it will have one of its additional stats is boosted randomly.
Upgrades can also increase the base damage of a weapon. This may be important for certain types of builds. Weapons aren't upgraded to give an increased maximum defence roll than their base. It is possible to increase the value of certain set and unique items by upgrading them, but they're not always superior to a high-level Runeword.
If an item you're upgrading comes with a guaranteed bonus, it can be rerolled a few times and the guarantee will reset to 0. Rerolling is the same amount of power dice as bringing an item, but the new item will offer various bonuses. The NPC [Armor] Boboko can upgrade your armor 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 appropriate amount of Minerals and Erons. These are available at the crafting table or in the Ultra Collector and can be purchased with Gold. The NPC will also give an extra reward for every tier that is completed 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 in the game if they have enough reroll tokens to do so. When an upgraded item gets being rerolled, it can be exchanged for an equivalent version that is level 1 of the same item in a different set. Reroll tokens can be purchased from the store for an amount of in-game currency. However, they cannot be refunded. The new item upgraded will have the same bonuses of the original one, but its stats will be different also.
In addition to rerolling items, players can also alter the identification of any item by engaging with an upgrader NPC. This will change the identification from an armored weapon to a weapon, or vice versa, all the while maintaining its base stats and the attributes it requires. The change is permanent and will affect all characters who are wearing the gear.
The player can also upgrade their level of the item for any equipped equipment. This can be done by interacting with an upgrader NPC and obtaining upgrade components. The cost will vary depending on the upgrade track, item type and the number of crests. Each step will add 5% more damage to weapons.
Upgrades can boost the effectiveness of an item, however they also can decrease the quality of an item. Therefore, it is important to strike a balance between the two. Some items are not worth upgrading, while other items require upgrading to maximize their potential. One player may wish to upgrade their breakpoint armor using an interesting modifier ( percent block chance, or FHR) to explore what else it can become.
Rerolling is a popular practice in Genshin Impact and other gacha-based games. People do it in order to get a character or weapon they cannot otherwise get. These items are time-consuming and costly to obtain, and the RNG does not always work in a positive way. The only options left are to invest real money or grind lots. Rerolling is extremely popular in Genshin Impact.
Leveling
When upgrading an item you can pick to level up the weapon or armor. This feature is not available in the current version of the game. I think it was meant to be a way to give some value to rare items, but because equipment generally drops quickly and is only upgraded one level up and you'll typically replace the item before it becomes too old. It's not worth it to level items that have gem sockets as the power of the gem will outweigh the higher ilvl that comes with the upgrade.
If you click on the upgrade option on an item, you will see a small window with the upgrade template for the item and the cost of crest and Valorstone to boost the level of the item. Weapons and armor will have different prices, with the latter generally being more expensive. The upgrade template outlines the statistics that will be added to the upgraded item and also lists its current ilvl.
The cost of the Valorstone and Crest is calculated using the item's current Ilvl and the upgrade templates. The ilvl is also reduced by the upgrade template's lvl reduction percentage. For example weapons with an increase of 8% will decrease its count by 8-8%.
The item will receive upgrades to other stats, like critical strike damage, PvE damages and block, parry and dodge rating, in addition to the base level. These increases are also based off the upgrade template.
In the upgrade template, you can see the amount of damage or defense an item will suffer after it is leveled up. upgrade item is shown below the cost as well as the upgrade percentages. Apart from the practice equipment, all other items and armor get the same stats when they are upgraded. The market will determine the value 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 pieces of armor such as circlets or Tiaras.
