15 Reasons Why You Shouldn't Ignore Item Upgrading

Path of Exile Item Upgrading

In Path of Exile, item upgrading is among the most effective ways to upgrade your gear without relying on large-ticket drops or trade. This article will teach you how to upp your items efficiently.

Upgrades to equipment give an additional bonus to the item's stats. The amount of bonus varies according to the rarity and level of the upgrade component.

Components

Upgrade components are the items that make your weapons and armor better. They can be obtained by fighting off enemies, locating them in item spheres, or purchasing them from karma sellers. You can also get them from equipment containing the components or through high-tier salvage kits such as Black Lion Salvage Kit and Ascended Salvage Tool. In contrast to other items, upgrade components are not destroyed when they are removed from an item.

The main purpose of upgrade components is to enable 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 weapons or gear. They can be forged to give additional benefits. For example, a designed glyph will increase the chances of upgrading its target, while an upgrade boost will increase the attack or defense property of a weapon, or armor.

You can connect an upgrade template to an item by selecting it from the edition GUI. It will display a list of upgrade components that the item can be upgraded to. You can also use the workbench for selecting an upgrade template. In either case, the item will be upgraded once enough upgrade components have been gathered.

Each component has its own experience multiplier. This determines the amount of experience an item can gain when upgraded with that component. For instance, organic components offer a higher experience multiplier than mechanical ones. It is recommended to upgrade the organic components first, until you reach the next rank in the weapon or equipment and then switch to the mechanical upgrades.

In  item upgrades  to the multiplier for experience Each item also comes with an maximum number of upgrades it can receive. The number of upgrades are determined by its upgradeable rank and the upgrade type of the upgradeable item. For instance, the highest possible weapon upgrade is a weapon with tier 10. However, the most common upgrade for weapons is an tier 6 weapon as well as an armor upgrade of tier 5.

Sets

A set is a group of items that have a bonus. Each item in the set can be upgraded at least once, and each upgrade boosts its guaranteed bonuses. The first time you upgrade a set piece or weapon is that it will be given a +1 increase to its primary stat. Following 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 additional stats increases randomly.

Upgrades can also boost the damage base of a weapon. This could be crucial for certain builds. However, weapons are not upgraded to have a higher defense level than their regular base. Upgrades can be a great option to increase the value of certain sets and unique items, however it's important to remember that they might not be superior to a high-level runeword in any build.

If the item you're upgrading has a guarantee bonus that is guaranteed, it can be rerolled only once, and then its guarantee will reset to 0. Rerolling is the same amount of power dice as leveling an item, however the new item will have additional bonuses. Upgrades can be completed through the NPC [Armor] Boboko in Central Flarine. To upgrade an item, you will require the proper amount of Minerals and Erons, as well as a power dice of each kind. These are available at the crafting table or the Ultra Collector and can be purchased using Gold. The NPC will also give an additional reward for each completed tier of the upgrade process. The reward can be rerolled a single time, using the same materials and components as the first item.

Rerolling

A player can roll any item they have acquired in the game provided they have enough reroll tokens to be able to do so. When an upgraded item is being rerolled, it can be exchanged for an equivalent version that is level 1 of the same item in a different set. Reroll tokens are available in the shop for a small sum of in-game currency. They are not refundable. The new  item upgrade d will have the same bonuses of the first, but its stats will be different as well.

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 from a weapons to armor or vice versa. The base stats and requirements will remain the same. The change is permanent and will affect all characters that have the gear in question.

Players can also boost the item level of any equipped equipment by acquiring upgrade items and conversing with the item's upgrader NPC. The cost of upgrading will depend on the upgrade track, item type and number of crests. Each step will add 5% more damage to weapons.

Upgrades can increase the capability of an item, however they also decrease its quality. Therefore, it is crucial to balance the two. Some items may not be worth upgrading at all and some will require to be upgraded to realize their potential. For example, a player might wish to upgrade a piece breakpoint armor that comes with an interesting modifier ( percent chance of blocking or FHR) to discover what it could be.

The main reason people reroll in Genshin Impact, or in any gacha-based game, is that they're trying to get a specific character or weapon that they aren't able to obtain. These items are time-consuming and costly to acquire, and the RNG doesn't always play nice. The only options is to shell out real money or grind lots. Rerolling is very popular in Genshin Impact.

Leveling

You can choose whether to upgrade the weapon or armor when upgrading an item. This feature is not available in the current version of the game. I believe this feature was intended to increase the value of rare and expensive items. However, since most equipment is replaced quickly and can only be leveled up one level, you'll typically replace it before it gets too old. It's also not worth upgrading items using gem sockets because the power of the gemstone will outweigh any increase in the ilvl.

You will see a small window when you click on the upgrade option on an item. It will show the item's template, the crest, and the cost of Valorstone to increase the level of the item. The costs will vary between weapons and armor, with the former usually costing more than the latter. The upgrade template lists the statistics 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 item's current Ilvl and the upgrade templates. In addition the ilvl of a new upgraded item will be decreased by the template's lvl decrease percentage. For example the weapon that has an 8% upgrade decrease will reduce its ilvl by 8 - 8 percent.

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

In the upgrade template you can check the amount of damage or defense the item will be able to sustain after being leveled up. This is shown below the cost and the upgrade percentages. Apart from the practice equipment, all other weapons and armor gain the same stats once leveled up. The value of these additional stats will be determined by the market, with a perfectly perfectly rolled version of a weapon or piece of armor is able to command higher trade values than non-upp'd versions. The same is true for other armor pieces such as circlets or tiaras.
