Path of Exile Item Upgrading In Path of Exile, item upgrading is one of the best ways to improve your equipment without relying on large-ticket drops or trade. This article will teach you how to upp your items effectively. Upgrading equipment grants an additional bonus to the item's base stats. The bonus is according to the rarity and quality of the upgrade component. Components Upgrade components can make your weapons and armour better. You can locate them by destroying enemies, buying them from karma vendors, or finding them in items-spheres. You can also get them from equipment containing the components or by using high-tier salvage kits such as Black Lion Salvage Kit and Ascended Salvage Tool. Unlike most other items, upgrade components are not destroyed when removed from an item. The main purpose of upgrade components is to allow an item to be upgraded, but they also serve other purposes. They can be stacked in order to increase the level of experience gained by upgrading existing equipment or weapons. They can be forged to give additional bonuses. For instance, a specially created glyph can increase the upgrade chance of its target, whereas an upgrade boost will increase the attack or defense attribute of a weapon or armor. Selecting an upgrade template from the GUI will allow you to bind it to an item. This will display an upgrade component list that the item can be upgraded to. You can also use the workbench to select an upgrade template. In either case, the item will be upgraded after enough upgrade components are collected. Each component has its own experience multiplier that affects the amount of experience an item gets when it is upgraded with the component. For instance, organic components give a higher experience multiplier than mechanical ones. Therefore, it is recommended to upgrade with organic components until you reach the multiplier of experience for the next rank of weapon or gear, and then change to mechanical upgrades. In addition to the experience multiplier, each item also has an maximum number of upgrades that it can receive. The number of upgrades are determined by its upgradeable rank and the type of upgrade for the upgradeable item. For instance, the most expensive possible upgrade for a weapon is a tier 10 weapon. The most commonly used upgrade is a gun with tier 6 and an armor upgrade of tier 5. Sets A set is a collection of items which all have the same bonus. Each item in the set can be upgraded at least one time, and the upgrade will increase the guaranteed bonuses. The first time you upgrade an item, its primary stat will be +1. On subsequent upgrades, the primary stats will be boosted even further (for instance, +1 for 12+/13+/14+) and each time an item is upgraded, one of its additional stats is increased randomly. The upgrade of a weapon can increase the damage base, which could be important for some builds. However, weapons are not upgraded to have a higher defense base than their regular base. It is possible to increase the value of specific sets and unique items by upgrading them, however they might not always be superior to a high-level Runeword. If an item you're upgrading has a guaranteed bonus it is able to be rerolled once, and then its guarantee will reset to 0. Rerolling is the same amount of power dice as bringing an item, however the new item will have various bonuses. The NPC [ArmorBoboko Boboko can upgrade your armor in 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 can be purchased by using Gold at the crafting table, or in the Ultra Collection. The NPCs will also offer special rewards for each level of the upgrade process. This reward is rerollable once, and the reroll will use the same materials as the first item. Rerolling If players have enough tokens for rerolling, they can roll any item they've acquired during the game. If an upgraded item is being rerolled, it can be exchanged for the version that is level 1 of the same item from a different set. Reroll tokens can be purchased from the store for a small amount of in-game currency. However, they aren't refundable. The new item will come with the same bonuses as the previous one, but the stats will differ. In addition to rerolling items, players can also change the identification of any item by interacting with an upgrader NPC. This will change its identification as a weapon to armor or reverse the process. The base requirements and stats remain the same. The change is permanent and will affect all characters that are wearing the gear. 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 items. The cost will differ based on the upgrade track, the item type and the number of crests. Each step will add 5% more damage to weapons. An upgrade can make it more powerful, but it will reduce its effectiveness. Therefore, it is important to keep both in check. Some items may not be worth upgrading, while others will need to be upgraded in order to maximize their potential. One player may wish to upgrade the breakpoint armor by adding an interesting modification ( percent block chance, or FHR) to explore what else it can be. Rerolling is item upgrades in Genshin Impact and other gacha-based games. It is a method used by players to try to obtain the character or weapon that they wouldn't otherwise have. These items can be costly and time-consuming to obtain, and the RNG isn't always a good fit. The only options left are to spend real cash or grind lots. This is why rerolling is a very popular option in Genshin Impact. Leveling You can decide to upgrade the weapon or armor when upgrading an item. However, this feature is absolutely nothing in the current game. I think it was meant to be a way to increase the value of rare items, but as equipment generally drops quickly and is only upgraded one level up it is likely that you will replace the item before it becomes too old. It's not worth upgrading items using gem sockets since the power of the stone will outweigh any increment in ilvl. If you click on the upgrade option on an item, you will get a small screen with the item's upgrade template and the cost of Valorstone and crest to increase the level of the item. The costs will vary between the armor and weapons as well, with the former typically costing more than the latter. The upgrade template outlines the stats that will be added to an upgraded item along with its current ilvl. The crest and Valorstone costs are calculated based on the item's current ilvl as well as the upgrade template. Additionally, the ilvl of the new upgraded item will be reduced by the template's lvl reduction percentage. For example weapons with an 8% upgrade decrease will decrease its value by 8-8%. In addition to the increase in ilvl base, the item will also be upgraded in other stats, such as critical strike damage, PvE damage and dodge, block and parry rating. These increases are also based off the upgrade template. The amount of defense and damage the item receives as it gets leveled up can be observed below the upgrade cost and decrease percentages in the upgrade template window. In addition to practice equipment, all other weapons and armor gain these same stats when leveled up. The value of these additional stats will be dictated by the market, with a perfectly perfectly rolled weapon or piece of armor can command significantly higher trade values than non-upp'd versions. The same applies to other armor pieces, such as circlets and tiaras.
