Path of Exile Item Upgrading

The Best item upgrade way to improve your gear in Path of Exile is through item upgrades. This lets you improve it without having to rely on expensive drops or trades. This article will show you how to upp your items efficiently.

Upgrades to equipment provide an additional bonus to the item's stats. This bonus scales with the upgrade component level and rarity.

Components

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

Upgrade components are typically used to improve an item upgrader however, they can also be used for other purposes. They can be stacked to increase the quality of an item that can be upgraded or they can be used to boost the experience gained by upgrading an existing weapon or piece of gear. They can also be made to give additional bonuses. For instance, a crafted glyph will boost the chances of upgrading its target, and 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 display the upgrade item components to which the item can be updated. 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 has its own experience multiplier. This determines how much experience an item will gain when upgraded using the component. Organic components, for example, have a higher multiplier of experience than mechanical components. It is recommended to upgrade organic components first until you reach the next level in the weapon or equipment and then move on to mechanical upgrades.

Each item comes with an upgrade limit number that it is possible to receive. The number of upgradeable items is determined by their upgradeable rank and the kind of upgrade they can get. The most powerful upgrade is a weapon that is tier 10. The most popular weapon upgrade is a gun with tier 6 and a armor upgrade of tier 5.

Sets

A set is a collection of items that all share the same bonus. Each item can be upgraded at minimum once. The upgrade increases the bonuses that are guaranteed. When you first upgrade an item, its initial stat will be +1. On subsequent upgrades, the primary stats are boosted even further (for instance the +1 bonus for 12+/13+/14+) and each 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 important for some builds. However, weapons cannot be upgraded to have a higher maximum defense roll than their normal base. It is possible to increase the value of certain set and unique items by upgrading them, but they might not always be better than a Runeword with a high level.

If an item you're upgrading comes with a guaranteed bonus it is able to be rerolled only once and the guarantee will be reset to 0. The same power dies are used to roll an item as it is used to increase its level. However, the new item has different bonuses. The NPC [ArmorBoboko Boboko can upgrade your armor in Central Flarine. To upgrade an item, you will require a power die of each type (Dice 4 or 6 drop from monsters 21+ and Giants; Dice 7 drops from bosses) and the right amount of Minerals and Erons. These are available at the crafting table or the Ultra Collector, and are available for purchase with Gold. NPCs also offer special rewards for each stage of the upgrade process. This reward is rerollable once and the reroll will be made using the same materials as the 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 gets to be rerolled, it will be exchanged for the level 1 version of the same item in another set. Reroll tokens are available in the store for a small amount of in-game currency. They are not refundable. The new upgraded item will still come with the extra benefits of the previous one however its stats will differ too.

In addition to rerolling items players can also alter the identification of any item by interacting with an upgrader NPC. This will change its identification from a weapons to armor or reverse the process. Its base stats and requirements remain the same. The change is permanent and will affect all characters who are wearing the gear.

Players can also increase the level of an item equipped equipment by acquiring upgrade components and communicating with the item's upgrader NPC. The cost will vary depending on the upgrade track, item type and number of crests. In the case of weapons, each upgrade will add an additional five percent to the damage.

Upgrades can increase the capability of an item, however they also can decrease its quality. Therefore, it is important to strike a balance between the two. Certain items aren't worth upgrading, while other items require upgrades to maximize their potential. A player may want to upgrade breakpoint armor with an interesting modification (% block chance or FHR) to discover what it could become.

Rerolling is a common practice in Genshin Impact and other gacha-based games. People do it to try to obtain a character or weapon that they wouldn't otherwise have. These items are time-consuming and costly to obtain, and the RNG isn't always a good fit. The only other options are to spend real money or grind a lot. 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 is not available in the current version of the game. I think this feature was created to increase the value of rare and expensive items. However, since the majority of gear is replaced fairly quickly and can only be upgraded one level, you will generally replace it before it gets too old. It's also not worthwhile to upgrade items with gem sockets because the power of the gem will outweigh the increase in ilvl with the upgrade.

If you click the upgrade button on an item, you will be presented with a small window displaying the item's upgrade template and the cost of crest and Valorstone to increase the level of the item. The costs will vary between armor and weapons and the latter typically costing more than the latter. The upgrade template outlines the stats that will be added to the upgraded item. It also lists its current ilvl.

The cost of the Valorstone and Crest is calculated using the Best item upgrade's current Ilvl and the upgrade templates. The ilvl will also be reduced by the upgrade template's lvl reduction percentage. For example weapons with an increase of 8% will decrease its count by 8-8%.

In addition to the base ilvl increase it will also get upgrades in other stats, such as critical strike damage, PvE damage, dodge, block, and parry rating. These increases are built on the upgrade template.

The amount of defense and damage the item receives when leveled up can be seen below the upgrade cost and decrease percentages in the upgrade template window. All armor and weapons that are not practice equipment get these stats when they level up. The value of these additional stats will be dictated by the market, with a perfectly rolled piece of armor or weapon is able to command more trade value than non-upp'd versions. Similar is the case for other armor pieces, like tiaras and circlets.
