10 Things Everybody Hates About Item Upgrading
Path of Exile Item Upgrading
The best method to upgrade your equipment in Path of Exile is through item upgrades. This lets you upgrade your gear without having depend on costly trades or drops. This article will show you how to upgrade your items effectively.
Upgrades to equipment provide an additional bonus to the item's base stats. The bonus increases with upgrade component's level and rarity.
Components
Upgrade components are the items that improve your armor and weapons more effective. They can be obtained by destroying enemies, finding them in spheres of items or purchasing them from karma sellers. You can also salvage them from equipment containing the components or by using high-tier salvage kits such as Black Lion Salvage Kit and Ascended Salvage Tool. Upgrade components are not destroyed when you remove them from the item.
Upgrade components are typically used to upgrade an item but they can also be used for other reasons. They can be stacked to boost the value of an upgradeable item or they can be used to increase the amount of experience gained from upgrading an existing weapon or piece of gear. They can also be made to give additional bonuses. A glyph that has been crafted can increase the chances of upgrading its target while an upgrade boosts the attack or defense attributes of weapons.
You can connect an upgrade template to an item upgrade by selecting it from the edition GUI. This will show the upgrade components to which the item can be updated. You can also use the workbench when selecting an upgrade template. In either case the item will be upgraded once enough upgrade components are collected.
Each component has its own experience multiplier, which determines how much more experience an item gets when it is upgraded by that component. Organic components, for example have an increased multiplier of experience than mechanical components. It is therefore best to upgrade using organic components until you reach the experience multiplier of the next level of the equipment or weapon, and then move to mechanical upgrades.
In addition to the multiplier for experience every item also has the maximum number of upgrades that it can receive. The number of upgrades is determined by the upgradeable rank and the type of upgrade available to the upgradeable item. The highest upgrade possible is a weapon that is 10th level. However, the most commonly used upgrade for weapons is a tier 6 weapon and an armor upgrade of tier 5.
Sets
A set is a collection of items that have the benefit of. Each item can be upgraded at minimum once. The upgrade boosts the amount of bonuses you can expect to receive. The first time you upgrade a set piece or weapon is that it will be given an increase of +1 to its primary stat. Following upgrades, primary stats are increased even more (for instance the +1 bonus for 12+/13+/14+) and every time an item is upgraded one of its additional stats is increased randomly.
Upgrades can also boost the damage base of a weapon. This may be important for certain types of builds. However, weapons are not upgraded to a higher maximum defense roll than their base. It is a good option to increase the value of certain sets and unique items, however it is important to keep in mind that they might not be superior to a high-level runeword in any build.
If an item you're upgrading has a guaranteed bonus that is guaranteed, it can be rerolled once, and then its guarantee will be reset to zero. Rerolling will cost the same amount of power dice as bringing an item, but the new item will have 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 type (Dice 4 or 6 drop from monsters 21+ and Giants; dice 7 drops from bosses) and the right amount of Minerals and Erons. These are available at the crafting table or the Ultra Collector and can be purchased with Gold. The NPCs will also offer special rewards for each completed level of the upgrade process. This reward is rerollable once and the reroll will use the same materials as the first item.
Rerolling
If a player has enough rerolling tokens, they can reroll any item that they have acquired during the game. When an upgraded Item Upgrade gets rerolled, it will be exchanged for an equivalent level 1 version of the same item in another set. Reroll tokens are available at the store for small amounts of in-game currency, however they cannot be refunded. The new item upgraded will have the same benefits of the previous one however, its stats will be different also.
In addition to rerolling items players can also change the identity of any equipment by interacting with an upgrader NPC. The equipment's identification will change as a weapon to armor, or vice versa. Its base stats and requirements remain the same. The change is permanent and will affect all characters who are wearing the gear.
The player can also upgrade the item level for any equipped equipment. This is accomplished by interacting with an upgrader NPC and obtaining upgrade items. This will cost a set amount of crests and Valorstones depending on the upgrade track and the item type. For weapons, each step will add an additional five percent to the damage.
Upgrades can boost the capability of an item level upgrade, but they can also reduce the quality of an item. Therefore, it is important to keep both in check. Some items may not be worth upgrading however, others will need to be upgraded to maximize their potential. A player might want to upgrade their breakpoint armor using an interesting modifier ( percent block chance or FHR) to discover what it could become.
The primary reason why people are able to reroll in Genshin Impact, or in any gacha-based game, is that they're trying to acquire a certain character or weapon that they aren't able to obtain. The process of obtaining these items can be costly and time-consuming and the RNG gods don't always want to play. The only choices left are to invest real money or grind lots. Rerolling is a very popular option in Genshin Impact.
Leveling
When upgrading an item upgrade you can choose to increase the level of the weapon or armor. This feature is not available in the current version of the game. I believe that this feature was created to add some value to expensive and rare items. However, since the majority of equipment is replaced quickly, and it can only be upgraded by one level, you will generally replace it before it is too old. It's also not worthwhile to upgrade items with gem sockets because the power of the gem will far outweigh the higher ilvl that comes with the upgrade.
You will be presented with a small box when you click the upgrade option for an item. It will display the template of the item, the Crest, as well as the cost for Valorstone to raise the item level. The cost will differ between the armor and weapons as well, with the former typically costing more than the latter. The upgrade template outlines the stats to be added to an upgraded item, as well as its current ilvl.
The cost of the Valorstone and crest is calculated using the item upgrader kit's current Ilvl and the upgrade templates. The ilvl will also be reduced by the upgrade templates reduction percentage for lvl. For instance weapons with an increase of 8% will decrease its value by 8-8 percent.
In addition to the base ilvl increase it will also receive upgrades in other stats, such as critical strike damage, PvE damage, dodge, block and parry rating. These enhancements are also based on the upgrade template.
The amount of defense and damage the item will receive when it is leveled can be shown below the cost and upgrade decrease percentages in the upgrade template window. Aside from equipment for practice, all weapons and armor gain the same stats when they are upgraded. The value of these additional stats will be dictated by the market, with a perfectly rolled version of a weapon or piece of armor can command significantly more in trade value than unupp'd versions. The same applies to other armor pieces, like tiaras or circlets.
