15 Incredible Stats About Item Upgrading

Path of Exile Item Upgrading

In Path of Exile, item upgrading is one of the most effective ways to upgrade your equipment without relying on massive drops or trade. This article will show you how to upgrade your gear.

Upgrading equipment grants an additional bonus to the item's base stats. This bonus is based on the upgrade component level and rarity.

Components

Upgrade components make your armour and weapons better. You can acquire them by the destruction of enemies, finding them in item spheres, or purchasing them from karma sellers. You can also salvage them from equipment that contains the components, or by utilizing high-end salvage kits like Black Lion Salvage Kit and Ascended Salvage Tool. Unlike most other items, upgrade components are not destroyed when removed from an item.

Upgrade components are primarily used to upgrade an item, however, they can also be used for other purposes. They can be stacked to increase the level of an item that can be upgraded or they can be used to increase the experience gained when upgrading an existing weapon or piece of gear. They can also be forged to give additional bonuses. For instance, a specially designed glyph will increase the chance of upgrading its target, and an upgrade boost will increase the attack or defense property of a weapon, or armor.

Selecting an upgrade template in the GUI will allow you to bind it to an item. This will display the upgrade components that the item can be updated. You can also use the workbench for selecting an upgrade template. In either scenario, an item will be upgraded after enough upgrade components have been collected.

Each component has a distinct experience multiplier, which determines the amount of experience an item receives when it upgrades with the component. For instance, organic components offer a higher experience multiplier than mechanical ones. It is recommended to upgrade your organic components first until you reach the next rank in the weapon or equipment and then switch to the mechanical upgrades.

In addition to the experience multiplier every item also has a maximum number of upgrades that it can receive. The number of upgrades is determined by its upgradeable rank and the type of upgrade for the upgradeable item. For instance, the most expensive possible weapon upgrade is a tier 10 weapon. The most common weapon 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 in the set can be upgraded at least once, and each upgrade boosts its guaranteed bonuses. When you first upgrade the set piece or weapon will give it a +1 increase to its primary stat. After subsequent upgrades, the primary stats are enhanced even more (for instance +1 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 the damage base, which may be crucial for certain builds. Weapons can't be upgraded for a higher maximum defence roll than their base. It is a good method to increase the value of certain sets and unique items, however it's important to remember that they may not be better than a high-level runeword in any build.

If you're upgrading an item that has an added bonus it can be rerolled a single time and the guarantee will reset to zero. The same amount of power die is used to roll an item, just as it is used to increase its level. However the new item comes with different bonuses. The NPC [ArmorBoboko Boboko can upgrade your armor in Central Flarine. To upgrade an item, you will need a power die 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 provide an additional reward for each completed tier of the upgrade process. This reward can be rerolled a second time, and the reroll will be made using the same materials used in the original item.

Rerolling

A player is able to play rerolling any item that they acquire in the game provided they have enough reroll tokens. If an upgraded item is rerolled, it will be exchanged for the level 1 version of the same item in a different set. Reroll tokens are available at the store for a small amount of in-game currency, however they are not refundable. The new item will offer the same extra bonuses as the previous one, but the stats will also differ.

Players can change the identity of their equipment, in addition to rerolling it by interacting with an NPC upgrader. This will change the identification from a weapon to armor or vice versa, while keeping its basic stats and attributes that are required. The change is permanent and will affect all characters that own the gear in question.

Players can also increase the level of an item equipped equipment by acquiring upgrade components and interacting with the item's upgrader NPC. This will cost a set amount of crests as well as Valorstones depending on the upgrade track and the item kind. Each upgrade will add an additional 5% of damage to weapons.

The upgrade of an item will make it more powerful however, it can reduce its effectiveness. Therefore, it is important to strike a balance between the two. Some items are not worth upgrading, while others require upgrading to make them more effective. For instance an individual player may want to upgrade a piece of breakpoint armor with an interesting modifier ( percent chance of blocking or FHR) to discover what it could be.

The primary reason people are able to reroll in Genshin Impact, or in any gacha-based game is because they're trying to get a specific character or weapon that they aren't able to obtain. These items can be expensive and time-consuming and the RNG gods aren't always willing to play ball. The only alternatives are to spend real money or grind for a long time. Rerolling is  item upgrades  in Genshin Impact.

Leveling

When upgrading an item you can increase the level of the weapon or armor. However, this feature does absolutely nothing in the current game. I believe it was intended to be a way to give some value to rare items, but because the majority of gear drops quickly and is only upgraded one level up, you'll usually replace the item before it becomes too old. It's also not worth it to level items that have gem sockets as the power of the gem will outweigh the increased ilvl that comes 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 Valorstone and crest to boost the level of the item. Armor and weapons have different prices, with the latter generally being more expensive. The upgrade template outlines the stats that will be added to the upgraded item. It also lists its current base ilvl.

The Crest and Valorstone costs are calculated by analyzing the item's current ilvl and the upgrade template. Additionally the ilvl of a new upgraded item will be reduced by the template's lvl decrease percentage. For example an upgrade of 8% can reduce the weapon's ilvl by 8 to 88%.

The item will be upgraded to other stats, such as critical strike damage, PvE damage and block, parry and dodge rating, in addition to the base ilvl. These enhancements are also based on the upgrade template.

The amount of damage and defense that the item is able to receive as it gets leveled up can be observed below the cost and upgrade decrease percentages in the upgrade template window. Apart from the practice equipment, all other armor and weapons gain the same stats once upgraded. The value of these additional stats will be dictated by the market, with a perfectly rolled version of a piece of armor or weapon can command significantly more trade value than non-upp'd versions. The same applies to other pieces of armor like circlets and Tiaras.
