Path of Exile Item Upgrading

In Path of Exile, item upgrading is among the best ways to upgrade your gear without relying upon big-ticket drops or trade. This article will teach you how to upp your gear effectively.

Upgrades to equipment give a bonus on the item's stats. This bonus scales with the upgrade component's level and rarity.

Components

Upgrade components can make your armour and weapons stronger. You can get them from fighting off enemies, locating them in spheres of items or purchasing them from karma sellers. They can also be salvaged from equipment that has them or by using an advanced salvage kit such as the Black Lion Salvage Kit or Ascended Salvage Tool. In contrast to other items, upgrade components are not destroyed when they are removed from an item.

The main function of upgrade components is to allow an item upgrades to be upgraded but they also serve other functions. They can be stacked to boost the value of an upgradeable item or they can be used to increase the experience gained when upgrading an existing weapon or piece of equipment. They can be forged for additional benefits. A glyph that is crafted can boost the chances of upgrading its target, and boost upgrades increase the attack or defense attributes of a weapon.

You can connect an upgrade template to an item by selecting it from the edition GUI. This will show the list of upgrade components that the item can be upgraded to. You can also make use of the workbench to choose an upgrade template. In either case the item will be upgraded after enough upgrade components are gathered.

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

In addition to the multiplier of experience, each item also has 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 of the tier 10. However, the most common 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 upgrader kit in the set can be upgraded at least once and each upgrade boosts the amount of bonuses that are guaranteed. When you first upgrade a set piece or weapon will give it a +1 increase to its primary stat. After subsequent upgrades, the primary stats will be increased a bit more (for instance, +1 to 12+/13+/14+) Every time you upgrade the item with an additional stats will be increased randomly.

Upgrades can also boost a weapon's damage base. This could be crucial for certain builds. Weapons cannot be upgraded for a higher maximum defenceuipment that is equipped. This is done by interacting with an upgrader NPC, and then obtaining upgrade items. It will cost a specific amount of crests and Valorstones dependent on the upgrade track and type. In the case of weapons, each step will add an additional five percent to the damage.

The upgrade of an item can make it more powerful, but it will reduce its effectiveness. Therefore, it is crucial to strike a balance between the two. Certain items might not be worth upgrading at all however, others will need to be upgraded in order to realize their potential. One player may wish to upgrade their breakpoint armor using an interesting modifier ( percent block chance or FHR) to see what else it can become.

Rerolling is a standard practice in Genshin Impact and other gacha-based games. People use it to gain access to an item or character that they wouldn't otherwise have. Getting these items can be costly and time-consuming, and the RNG gods don't always want to play. The only alternatives are to spend money or grind for a long time. Rerolling is very popular in Genshin Impact.

Leveling

When upgrading an item, you can level up the weapon or armor. But, this feature does absolutely nothing in the current game. I believe this feature was intended to increase the value of expensive and rare items. However, since most items are replaced quite quickly, and it can only be upgraded one level, you'll generally replace it before it is too old. It's also not worthwhile to upgrade items with gem sockets since the value of the gem will far outweigh the increase in ilvl with the upgrade.

You will be presented with a small box when you click on the upgrade option on an item. It will show the template of the item, the Crest, as well as the cost for Valorstone to raise the item's level. The costs will vary between weapons and armor as well, with the former typically costing more than the latter. The upgrade template lists the stats that will be added to the upgraded item and also lists its current ilvl.

The cost of the Valorstone and the crest is calculated based on the current Ilvl of the item and the upgrade templates. The ilvl will also be reduced by the upgrade template's reduction percentage for lvl. For example an upgrade of 8% will reduce the ilvl of a weapon by 8 to 88%.

The item will get upgrades to other stats, like critical strike damage, PvE damages, and block, parry, and dodge rating in addition to the base ilvl. These enhancements are also based on the upgrade template.

In the upgrade template, you can check the amount of damage or defense the item will suffer after being leveled up. This is listed below the cost and upgrade percentages. All weapons and armor, except practice equipment, get these stats when they level up. The value of these additional stats will be determined by the market, with a perfectly rolled version of a weapon or piece of armor can command significantly more trade value than non-upp'd versions. This is also true for other pieces of armor like circlets and Tiaras.
