Path of Exile Item Upgrading
The most effective way to improve your equipment in Path of Exile is through upgrade of your items. This lets you enhance your gear without having to rely on expensive drops or trades. This article will teach you how to upp your items effectively.
Upgrades in equipment can add an increase to the item's base stats. This bonus scales with the upgrade component level and rarity.

Components
Upgrade components are the items that can make your weapons and armor better. You can locate them through destroying enemies, buying them from karma vendors or finding them in items-spheres. They can also be rescued from equipment with them, or through a high-tier salvage kit such as the Black Lion Salvage Kit or Ascended Salvage Tool. Upgrade components cannot be destroyed when you remove them from an item.
The main function of upgrade components is to allow an item to be upgraded, but they also serve other functions. They can be stacked to increase the level or the amount of experience gained by upgrading equipment or weapons. They can be forged for extra bonuses. A crafted glyph can increase the chances of upgrading its target while boost upgrades increase the defense or attack capabilities of a weapon.
You can attach an upgrade template to an item by selecting it from the edition GUI. This will display an upgrade component list that the item can be upgraded to. You can also use the workbench to selecting an upgrade template. In either instance the item will be upgraded once enough upgrade components have been collected.
Each component has a different experience multiplier, which affects how much more experience an item will gain when it is upgraded by the component. Organic components, like have more experience multipliers than mechanical components. It is therefore recommended to upgrade using organic components until you reach the experience multiplier for the next rank of the weapon or gear, then move to mechanical upgrades.
In addition to the multiplier of experience Each item also comes with a maximum number of upgrades that it can receive. The number of upgradeable items is determined by their upgradeable rank, and the kind of upgrade they are able to receive. The highest level of upgrade is a weapon that is 10th level. However, the most commonly used weapon upgrades are the tier 6 weapon and an armor upgrade of tier 5.
Sets
A set is a group of items that have a bonus. Each item can be upgraded at least once. item upgrade will increase the bonuses that are guaranteed. When you first upgrade an item, its primary stat will be +1. After subsequent upgrades the primary stats will be boosted a little more (for example, +1 up to 12+/13+/14+), and each time you upgrade the item with an additional stats is boosted randomly.
Upgrades can also boost a weapon's damage base. This could be crucial for certain types of builds. However, weapons cannot be upgraded to have a greater defense level than their regular base. It is possible to increase value of certain sets and unique items by upgrading them, however they're not always superior to a higher-level Runeword.
If you are upgrading an item with a bonus the item can be rerolled a single time and the guarantee will reset to zero. Rerolling costs the same amount of power dice as bringing an item, however the new item will offer various bonuses. The NPC [ArmorBoboko Boboko can upgrade your armor in 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 can be purchased using Gold. The NPCs will also offer special rewards for each completed level of the upgrade process. This reward can be rerolled one time with the same materials and components as the first item.
Rerolling
A player is able to play rerolling any item that they acquire in the game provided they have enough tokens. If an item is rerolled, it will be replaced by the same level in another set. Reroll tokens can be bought at the store for a small amount of in-game currency. However, they are not refundable. The new upgraded item will still have the extra bonuses of the first, but its stats will be different as well.
In addition to rerolling objects, players can also alter the identification of any equipment by interacting with an upgrader NPC. This will change the identity from an armor to a weapon or vice versa, all the while retaining its base stats and required attributes. The change is permanent and will affect all characters who own the gear in question.
Players can also boost the level of an item equipped equipment by obtaining upgrade components and communicating with the NPC who upgrades the item. The cost will differ based on the upgrade track, item type and number of crests. Each step will give 5% more damage to weapons.
Upgrades can boost the power of an item, but they can also reduce the quality of an item. It is therefore important to balance the two. Some items are not worth upgrading, while others need to be upgraded to make them more effective. A player might want to upgrade the breakpoint armor by adding an interesting modification ( percent block chance or FHR) to discover what it could become.
Rerolling is a common practice in Genshin Impact and other gacha-based games. It is a method used by players in order to get a character or weapon they cannot otherwise get. These items are time-consuming and costly to obtain, and the RNG isn't always a good fit. The only alternative is to spend money or grind extensively. Rerolling is very popular in Genshin Impact.
Leveling
You can select whether to upgrade the weapon or armor when you upgrade an item. However, this feature does absolutely nothing in the current game. I think this feature was designed to increase the value of rare and expensive items. However, since most gear is replaced fairly quickly, and can only be leveled up to a certain level, you will generally replace it before it gets too old. It's also not worth upgrading items with gem sockets because the power of the gemstone will outweigh any increase in the level of.
If you click the upgrade button on an item, you'll get a small screen with the upgrade template of the item as well as the cost of crest and Valorstone to increase the level of the item. Armor and weapons will have different prices, with the latter typically being more costly. The upgrade template outlines the stats that can be added to an upgraded item and also the current base ilvl.
The Crest and Valorstone costs are calculated based on the item's current ilvl as well as the upgrade template. The ilvl will also be decreased by the upgrade templates reduction percentage of lvl. For example, a weapon with an increase of 8% will reduce its count by 8-8 percent.
In addition to the base ilvl increase the item will also get upgrades in other stats, such as critical strike damage, PvE damage and dodge, block, and parry rating. These enhancements are also based on the upgrade template.
The amount of damage and defense that the item receives when it is leveled can be shown below the cost and upgrade decrease percentages in the upgrade template window. All weapons and armor, except practice equipment, gain these stats upon leveling up. The market will determine the worth of these stats. A weapon or armor that has perfect rolls can command an incredibly higher price than an unupp'd version. This is also true for other pieces of armor, like tiaras or circlets.
