Cases gg of Exile Item Upgrading
In Path of Exile, item upgrading is among the best ways to improve your gear without relying upon large-ticket drops or trade. This article will teach you how to upgrade your items efficiently.
Upgrades to equipment grant an increase in the item's stats. This bonus scales based on the rarity and strength of the upgrade component.
Components
Upgrade components make your armour and weapons stronger. They can be obtained by fighting off enemies, locating them in item spheres or purchasing them from karma sellers. They can also be rescued from equipment that has them or by using the highest-quality salvage kits like the Black Lion Salvage Kit or Ascended Salvage Tool. Unlike most other items upgrades aren't destroyed when removed from an item.
Upgrade components are primarily used to upgrade an item, however, they can also be used for other reasons. They can be stacked to increase the quality of an upgradeable item or they can be used to boost the amount of experience gained from upgrading an existing weapon or piece of equipment. They can be forged for additional bonuses. For example, a created glyph can increase the upgrade chance of its target, while the boost upgrade can boost the defense or attack attribute of a weapon or armor.
You can attach an upgrade template to an item by selecting it from the edition GUI. This will display the upgrade components that the item can be upgraded. You can also use the workbench when selecting an upgrade template. In either scenario, an item will be upgraded once enough upgrade components have been collected.
Each component has a different experience multiplier that affects how much more experience an item will gain when it upgrades with that component. For instance, organic components give a higher experience multiplier than mechanical ones. Therefore, it is recommended to upgrade using organic components until you have reached the experience multiplier for the next rank of the equipment or weapon, and then switch to mechanical upgrades.
Each item comes with an upgrade maximum number that is available for. The number of upgradeable items is determined by their upgradeable rank, and the kind of upgrade they can get. For example, the highest possible weapon upgrade is a weapon with tier 10. The most common weapon upgrade is a tier 6 gun and a armor upgrade for 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 the upgrade increases the guaranteed bonuses. The first time you upgrade a set piece or weapon will give it an increase of +1 to its primary stat. On subsequent upgrades the stats of the primary one will be increased a bit more (for example, +1 to 12+/13+/14+) Each time you upgrade the item with an additional stats is boosted randomly.
Upgrades can also boost the damage base of a weapon. This can be crucial for certain types of builds. Weapons can't be upgraded for an increased maximum defence roll than their base. It's possible to increase the value of certain sets and unique items by upgrading them, however they may not always be better than a Runeword with a high level.
If the item you're upgrading comes with a guaranteed bonus that is guaranteed, it can be rerolled only once and its guarantee will reset to 0. Rerolling is the same amount of power dice as bringing an item up, but the new item will offer various bonuses. Upgrades can be made at the NPC [Armor] Boboko in the Central Flarine. To upgrade an item you will need the appropriate amount Minerals and Erons, as well as a power dice of each type. These are available at the crafting table or the Ultra Collector and are available for purchase with Gold. NPCs also offer special rewards for each completed stage of the upgrade process. This reward is rerollable once and will be made using the same materials as the first item.
Rerolling
A player is able to reroll any item acquired in the game provided they have enough reroll tokens to do so. When an upgraded item is being rerolled, it can be exchanged for an equivalent level 1 version of the same item in another set. Reroll tokens can be purchased at the store for a small sum of in-game currency. They are not refundable. The new upgraded item will still come with the extra benefits of the previous one however its stats will be different as well.
Players can change the identity of their equipment, in addition to changing it's roll by interfacing with an NPC upgrader. This will change the identification from a weapon to armor or vice versa, while maintaining its base stats and the attributes it requires. The change is permanent and will affect all characters that are wearing the gear.
Players can also increase the level of an item equipped device by obtaining upgrade components and interacting with the upgrader NPC of the item. This will cost a set amount of crests as well as Valorstones depending on the upgrade track and item type. In the case of weapons, each step up will add 5percent to the damage.
Upgrades can boost the capability of an item, however they can also reduce the quality of an item. It is therefore essential to find a balance between the two. Some items are not worth upgrading, while others need to be upgraded to reach their full potential. For instance an individual player may decide to upgrade a piece of breakpoint armor that has an interesting modifier (% chance to block or FHR) to see what it can become.
The main reason people reroll in Genshin Impact, or in any gacha-based game, is because they are trying to acquire a certain weapon or character that they can't otherwise obtain. These items can be time-consuming and expensive to obtain, and the RNG does not always work in a positive way. The only alternative is to spend money or grind for a long time. This is why rerolling is a popular option in Genshin Impact.
Leveling
When upgrading an item you can upgrade the weapon or armor. However, this feature does absolutely nothing in the current game. I believe that this feature was intended to add some value to expensive and rare items. However, since the majority of gear is replaced fairly quickly, and can only be leveled up one level, you will typically replace it before it is too old. It's also not worth upgrading items with gem sockets because the power of the stone will outweigh any increment in ilvl.
You will be presented with a small box when you click the upgrade option on an item. It will display the template of the item, the crest, and the cost of Valorstone to increase the level of the item. Weapons and armor will have different costs, with the former typically being more costly. The upgrade template shows the stats that will be added to the upgraded item and will also list its current base ilvl.
The Crest and Valorstone costs are calculated based on the item's current ilvl 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 weapon's ilvl by 8 to 8%.
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 level. Those increases are also based on the upgrade template.
In the upgrade template you can check the amount of damage or defense that the item will suffer after it is leveled up. This is shown below the cost as well as the upgrade percentages. All armor and weapons, except practice equipment, get these stats when they level up. The value of these stats will be determined by the market, with a perfectly rolled version of a weapon or piece of armor is able to command more in trade value than unupp'd versions. Similar is the case for other pieces of armor like tiaras or circlets.
