15 Incredible Stats About Item Upgrading

From WikiHikmah

Path of Exile Item Upgrading

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

Upgrades to equipment provide a bonus on the item's stats. The amount of bonus varies based on the rarity and level of the upgrade component.

Components

Upgrade components can make your armour and weapons stronger. You can locate them by destroying enemies, purchasing them from karma vendors or finding them in item-spheres. You can also get them from equipment that contains the components or through 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 mostly used to upgrade an item, but they can also be used for other reasons. They can be used to boost the level or the amount of experience gained by upgrading weapons or gear. They can be forged for additional bonuses. For instance, a designed glyph will increase the chance of upgrading its target, whereas a boost upgrade item will increase the attack or defense attribute of a weapon or armor.

By selecting an upgrade template from the GUI will let you bind it to an item. This will display the list of upgrade components that the item can be upgraded to. You can also use the workbench when selecting an upgrade template. In either scenario, the item will be upgraded once enough upgrade components are gathered.

Each component has its own experience multiplier that affects the amount of experience an item gets when it upgrades with the component. Organic components, for example have a higher multiplier of experience than mechanical components. It is recommended to upgrade your organic components first until you reach the next level in the weapon or equipment, and then move on to mechanical upgrades.

Each item upgrader kit comes with an upgrade limit number that can be received. The number of upgrades available is determined by its upgradeable rank and the upgrade type of 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 a armor upgrade of tier 5.

Sets

A set is a collection of items that all share the same bonus. Each item in the set can be upgraded at least one time, and each upgrade boosts the amount of bonuses that are guaranteed. The first time you upgrade an item or set piece will give it a +1 increase to its primary stat. After subsequent upgrades, the primary stats will be increased even more (for instance +1 for 12+/13+/14+) and every time an item is upgraded one of its additional stats increases randomly.

Upgrades to a weapon may increase the damage base, which could be important for some builds. Weapons can't be upgraded for an increased maximum defence roll than their base. It is a good option to increase the value of certain sets and unique items, however it's important to remember that they're not necessarily more effective than a high-level raneword in any build.

If an item you're upgrading comes with a guaranteed bonus it is able to be rerolled a few times, and then its guarantee will be reset to zero. Rerolling will cost the same amount of power dice as bringing an item up, but the new item will have various bonuses. The NPC [Armor] 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 right amount of Minerals and Erons. These can be bought with Gold at the crafting table, or in the Ultra Collection. The NPC will also provide an extra reward for every tier that is completed of the upgrade process. This reward is rerollable once and the reroll will be made using the same materials as the original item.

Rerolling

A player is able to play rerolling any item that they acquire during the game, provided they have enough tokens to be able to do so. If an item is rerolled, it will be replaced by the same level in another set. Reroll tokens are sold in the shop for a small sum of in-game currency. They are not refundable. The new item upgraded will still have the extra benefits of the previous one however, its stats will be different as well.

In addition to rerolling objects, players can also change the identification of any equipment by interacting with an upgrader NPC. This will change the identification from an armored weapon to a weapon, or vice versa, all the while maintaining its base stats and required attributes. The change is permanent and will affect all characters that are wearing the gear.

The player can also upgrade their level of an item for any equipped equipment. This is accomplished by talking to an upgrader NPC and obtaining upgrade components. It will cost a specific amount of crests as well as Valorstones according to the upgrade track and type. Each step will add an additional 5% of damage to weapons.

An upgrade will make it more powerful however it can also decrease its quality. It is therefore essential to strike a balance between the two. Some items aren't worth upgrading, whereas others need to be upgraded to reach their full potential. A player might want to upgrade breakpoint armor with an interesting modifier (% block chance or FHR) in order to see what else it can be.

The primary reason why people reroll in Genshin Impact, or in any gacha-based game, is because they're trying to acquire a certain character or weapon that they wouldn't otherwise be able to acquire. These items can be costly and time-consuming to acquire and the RNG isn't always a good fit. The only choices left are to invest real money or grind a lot. Rerolling is very popular in Genshin Impact.

Leveling

When upgrading an item, you can pick to upgrade the weapon or armor. However, this feature is absolutely nothing in the current game. I believe this feature was designed to add some value to rare and expensive items. However, since the majority of equipment is replaced quickly and can only be upgraded one level, you'll typically replace it before it gets too old. It's not worth it to upgrade items with gem sockets since the value 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 on the upgrade option on an item. It will display the template for the item, its crest, and the cost for Valorstone to raise the item 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 will be added to the upgraded item and also lists its current ilvl.

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

In addition to the base ilvl boost, the item will also receive upgrades in other stats, such as critical strike damage, PvE damage, dodge, block and parry rating. These upgrades are also based on the upgrade template.

In the upgrade template, you can check the amount of damage or defense an item will suffer when it is upgraded. This is listed below the cost as well as the upgrade percentages. Aside from practice equipment, all armor and weapons gain the same stats when they are leveled up. The value of these additional stats will be determined 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 is true for other armor pieces such as circlets or Tiaras.
