20 Resources That'll Make You More Efficient At Item Upgrading

Path of Exile Item Upgrading

In Path of Exile, item upgrading is one of the best ways to improve your equipment without relying on big-ticket drops or trade. This article will teach you how to upgrade your items efficiently.

Upgrades to equipment provide an additional bonus to the item's base stats. The bonus increases with upgrade component level and rarity.

Components

Upgrade components are the things that make your weapons and armor more effective. They can be found by destroying enemies, buying them from karma vendors, or finding them in items-spheres. They can also be rescued from equipment with them, or by utilizing the highest-quality salvage kits such as the Black Lion Salvage Kit or Ascended Salvage Tool. In contrast to other items upgrade components, upgrade components aren't destroyed when they are removed from an item.

Upgrade components are typically used to upgrade an item, but they can also be used for other reasons. They can be stacked in order to increase the level of experience gained by upgrading existing weapons or gear. They can also be forged to offer additional benefits. For instance, a created glyph can increase the chance of upgrading its target, while an upgrade boost will boost the defense or attack quality of a weapon or armor.

Selecting an upgrade template in the GUI will allow you to bind it to an item. It will display 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 scenario, the item will be upgraded when enough upgrade components are collected.

Each component has its own experience multiplier, which determines the amount of experience an item will gain when it is upgraded with that component. For instance, organic components give a higher experience multiplier than mechanical ones. You should upgrade the organic components first, until you reach the next rank in the weapon or equipment, then switch to mechanical upgrades.

In addition to the experience multiplier Each item also comes with an maximum number of upgrades it can receive. The number of items that can be upgraded is determined by their upgradeable rank, and the type of upgrade they can get. The most powerful upgrade is a weapon that is tier 10. However, the most popular upgrade for weapons is an tier 6 weapon as well as a tier 5 armor upgrade.

Sets

A set is a group of items that have a bonus. Each item in the set can be upgraded at least one time, and the upgrade will increase its guaranteed bonuses. When you first upgrade an item or set piece is that it will be given an increase of +1 to its primary stat. On subsequent upgrades, the primary stats will be enhanced 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 a weapon's damage base. This may be important for certain types of weapons. However, weapons cannot be upgraded to a higher defense level than their regular base. It is a good method to increase the value of some set and unique items, however it's important to note that they might not be superior to a high-level runeword in any build.

If an item you're upgrading comes with a guaranteed bonus that is guaranteed, it can be rerolled only once and the guarantee will reset to 0. Rerolling costs the same amount of power dice as bringing an item, but the new item will offer various bonuses. The NPC [ArmorBoboko Boboko can upgrade your armor in Central Flarine. To upgrade an item, you'll 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 can be bought by using Gold at the crafting table, or in the Ultra Collection. The NPC will also provide an extra reward for each tier of the upgrade process. This reward can be rerolled once and will use the same materials as the first item.

Rerolling

If the player has enough rerolling tokens, they can reroll any item that they've accumulated during the game. When an upgraded item gets rerolled, it will be exchanged for a level 1 version of the same item from a different set. Reroll tokens can be bought from the store for an amount of in-game currency. However, they cannot be refunded. The new item upgraded will still have the extra bonuses of the first, but its stats will differ too.

In addition to rerolling items players can also change the identification of any equipment by engaging with an upgrader NPC.  item upgrader  will change the identity from an armored weapon to a weapon, or vice versa, all the while maintaining its base stats and attributes that are required. The change will last for a long time and affect all characters who own the gear.

Players can also boost the level of their item on any equipped device by obtaining upgrade items and conversing with the upgrader NPC of the item. This will cost a certain amount of crests as well as Valorstones dependent on the upgrade track and item type. Each step will give 5% more damage to weapons.

An upgrade can boost its power however, it can also lower its quality. Therefore, it is important to find a balance between the two. Some items are not worth upgrading, while other items need to be upgraded to reach their full potential. For instance an individual player may wish to upgrade a piece breakpoint armor that comes with an interesting modifier ( percent chance of blocking or FHR) to explore the possibilities of what it can become.

Rerolling is a popular practice in Genshin Impact and other gacha-based games. People use it in order to get the character or weapon they cannot otherwise get. These items can be costly and time-consuming to obtain, and the RNG isn't always a good fit. The only options are to spend real cash or grind lots. Rerolling is a very popular choice in Genshin Impact.

Leveling

You can select whether to upgrade the weapon or armor after upgrading an item. This feature isn't available in the current version of the game. I believe that this feature was designed to increase the value of rare and expensive items. However, since most gear is replaced fairly quickly, and can only be leveled up to a certain level, you will typically replace it before it becomes too old. It's not worth upgrading items using gem sockets since the power of the stone will outweigh any increase in ilvl.

You will be presented with a small box when you click on the upgrade option on an item. It will display the template for the item, its crest, and the Valorstone cost to raise the item's level. The cost will differ between weapons and armor, with the former usually costing more than the latter. The upgrade template lists the stats that can be added to an upgraded item along with its current base ilvl.

The Crest and Valorstone costs are calculated according to the item's current ilvl as well as the upgrade template. The ilvl is also decreased by the upgrade templates reduction percentage for lvl. For example, an upgrade of 8% will reduce the weapon's ilvl by 8 to 8%.

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. Those increases are also based on the upgrade template.

The amount of damage and defense that the item is able to receive when leveled up can be seen below the upgrade cost and decrease percentages in the upgrade template window. In addition to practice equipment, all items and armor get these same stats when leveled up. The market will determine the worth of these stats. A weapon or armor with perfect rolls can command a much higher price than a non-upp’d version. This is also true for other armor pieces, like tiaras or circlets.
