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 gear without relying on large-ticket drops or trade. This article will help you understand how to upgrade your items. Upgrades to equipment provide an increase in the item's stats. The bonus increases with upgrade component's level and rarity. Components Upgrade components are the parts that improve your armor and weapons more effective. You can find them through destroying enemies, buying them from karma sellers or finding them in items-spheres. You can also get them from equipment containing 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, upgrade components aren't destroyed when removed from an item. Upgrade components are typically used to upgrade an item but they can also be used for other purposes. They can be used to increase the level or the amount of experience gained by upgrading equipment or weapons. They can also be forged to offer additional benefits. For instance, a specially crafted glyph will boost the chances of upgrading its target, whereas an upgrade boost will boost the defense or attack property of a weapon, or armor. You can attach an upgrade template to an item by selecting it from the edition GUI. This will show the upgrade components that the item can be updated. You can also use the workbench when selecting an upgrade template. In either scenario, the item will be upgraded when enough upgrade components are collected. Each component has a different experience multiplier, which affects the amount of experience an item receives when it is upgraded with that component. For instance, organic components have a a higher experience multiplier than mechanical ones. You should upgrade the organic components first, until you reach the next level in the weapon or equipment, then switch to mechanical upgrades. In addition to the experience multiplier Each item also comes with a maximum number of upgrades it can receive. The number of upgrades available is determined by the rank that can be upgraded and the type of upgrade available to the upgradeable item. The highest upgrade possible is a weapon with the tier 10. The most popular weapon upgrade is a gun of tier 6 and an armor upgrade of tier 5. Sets A set is a collection of objects which all have the same bonus. Each item in the set can be upgraded at least once and the upgrade increases its guaranteed bonuses. When you first upgrade an item or set piece, it will receive an increase of +1 to its primary stat. Following upgrades, primary stats are increased even more (for instance, +1 for 12+/13+/14+) and each time an item is upgraded, one of its additional stats increases randomly. Upgrades can also increase the base damage of a weapon. This could be crucial for certain types of builds. However, weapons cannot be upgraded to have a higher defense level than their base. Upgrades can be a great option to increase the value of some set and unique items, however it is important to keep in mind that they're not necessarily better than a high-level runeword in any build. If you are upgrading an item that comes with a bonus it can be rerolled once, and its guarantee will reset back to zero. Rerolling is the same amount of power dice as the process of leveling an item, however the new item will offer additional bonuses. The NPC [Armor] Boboko can upgrade your armor in Central Flarine. To upgrade an item, you'll require a power die 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 can be bought by using Gold at the crafting table, or in the Ultra Collection. The NPC will also offer an extra reward for each tier of the upgrade process. The reward can be rerolled one time, using the same materials as the original item. Rerolling A player is able to play rerolling any item that they acquire in the game if they have enough reroll tokens to be able to do so. When an item is rerolled it will be replaced with an equivalent level 1 version from another set. Reroll tokens can be purchased in the store for a small sum of in-game currency. They are non-refundable. The new item upgraded will have the same bonuses of the first, but its stats will differ too. Players can alter the identification of their equipment as well as rolling it again by interacting with a NPC upgrader. The equipment's identification will change as a weapon to armor, or vice versa. The base requirements and stats will remain the same. The change will be permanent and affect all characters that own the equipment. Players can also increase the level of their item on any equipped equipment by obtaining upgrade components and communicating with the upgrader NPC of the item. This will cost a set amount of crests as well as Valorstones according to the upgrade track and the item type. In the case of weapons, each step will add 5% to its damage. The upgrade of an item can make it more powerful, but it will reduce its effectiveness. It is therefore essential to find a balance between the two. Certain items might not be worth upgrading at all and some will require to be upgraded in order to maximize their potential. One player may wish to upgrade their breakpoint armor using an interesting modification ( percent block chance, or FHR) to discover what it could become. Rerolling is a common practice in Genshin Impact and other gacha-based games. It is a method used by players to gain access to the character or weapon they would not otherwise be able to acquire. These items can be costly and time-consuming to obtain, and the RNG doesn't always play nice. The only choices left are to spend real cash or grind lots. Rerolling is a very popular option in Genshin Impact. Leveling You can select whether to upgrade the weapon or armor when you upgrade an item. This feature is not available in the current version of the game. I believe this feature was designed to add some value to expensive and rare items. However, since most gear is replaced fairly quickly and can only be upgraded one level, you'll usually replace it before it is too old. It's also not worth upgrading items with gem sockets, as the power of the stone will outweigh any increment in ilvl. You will see a small box when you click the upgrade option for an item. It will show the template of the item, the crest, and the cost for Valorstone to raise the level of the item. The cost of upgrades will vary based on armor and weapons and the latter typically costing more than the latter. The upgrade template lists the stats that can be added to an upgraded item, and also the current base 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 template's lvl reduction percentage. For instance weapons with an 8% upgrade decrease will reduce its value by 8-8 percent. In addition to the increase in ilvl base the item will also get upgrades in other stats, such as critical strike damage, damage from PvE and dodge, block and parry rating. These enhancements are also based on the upgrade template. The amount of damage and defense that the item is able to receive when it is leveled can be shown below the upgrade cost and decrease percentages in the upgrade template window. All weapons and armor that are not 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 more than an unupp'd version. The same is true for other pieces of armor, such as circlets and tiaras.
