Path of Exile Item Upgrading 
In Path of Exile, item upgrading is one of the best ways to upgrade your gear without relying on large-ticket drops or trade. This article will show you how to upgrade your gear. Upgrades in equipment can add an additional bonus to the item's base stats. This bonus scales according to the rarity and level 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 buying them from karma dealers. They can also be salvaged from equipment that contains them or by using an advanced salvage kit such as the Black Lion Salvage Kit or Ascended Salvage Tool. Contrary to other products upgrade components, upgrade components aren't destroyed when they are removed from an item. The main function of upgrade components is to allow an item to be upgraded, but they also serve other purposes. They can be used to boost the level or the amount of experience gained by upgrading equipment or weapons. They can be forged to give additional bonuses. A crafted glyph can increase the upgrade chances of its target, and a boost upgrade increases the attack or defense capabilities of weapons. Selecting an upgrade template in the GUI will let you bind it to an item. This will show a list of upgrade components that the item can be upgraded to. Alternatively, you can make use of the workbench to choose an upgrade template. In either case, an item will be upgraded after enough upgrade components have been gathered. Each component has a distinct experience multiplier, which determines how much more experience an item will gain when it is upgraded by that component. For instance, organic components give more experience multipliers than mechanical ones. It is therefore recommended to upgrade with organic components until you have reached the multiplier of experience for the next rank of the equipment or weapon, and 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 upgradeable items is determined by their upgradeable rank and the kind of upgrade they can receive. For instance, the highest possible weapon upgrade is a weapon of tier 10. However, the most common upgrades for weapons are the tier 6 weapon and a tier 5 armor upgrade. Sets A set is a group of items that have the benefit of. Each item in the set can be upgraded at least once, and each upgrade boosts the amount of bonuses that are guaranteed. The first time you upgrade the set piece or weapon is that it will be given a +1 increase to its primary stat. After subsequent upgrades, the primary stats will be boosted even further (for instance the +1 bonus for 12+/13+/14+) and every time an item is upgraded, one of its stats will increase randomly. Upgrades can also boost the base damage of a weapon. This may be important for certain builds. However, weapons can't be upgraded to a higher defense base than their base. It is possible to increase value of certain set and unique items by upgrading them, but they're not always better than a Runeword with a high level. If you are upgrading an item that comes with a bonus, the item can be rerolled one time and the guarantee will reset back to zero. Rerolling is the same amount of power dice as the process of leveling an item, but the new item will have various bonuses. Upgrades can be made at the NPC [Armor] Boboko in Central Flarine. To upgrade an item, you will require the proper amount of 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. NPCs will also provide special rewards for each level of the upgrade process. This reward can be rerolled once, and the reroll will be made using the same materials used in the original item. Rerolling If players have enough to reroll tokens, they are able to roll any item they've acquired during the game. When an upgraded item gets to be rerolled, it will be exchanged for the version that is level 1 of the same item from a different set. Reroll tokens are available in the store for a small sum of in-game currency. They are not refundable. The new item upgrade d will still have the extra benefits of the previous one however its stats will be different also. Players can change the identity of their equipment, in addition to rolling it again by interacting with an NPC upgrader. The equipment's identification will change from a weapon to an armor or vice versa. The base stats and requirements will remain the same. The change is permanent and will affect all characters that have the gear in question. The player can also upgrade their item level for any equipped equipment. This is accomplished by talking to an upgrader NPC and getting upgrade items. The cost of upgrading will depend on the upgrade track, item type and the number of crests. Each step will add 5percent more damage to weapons. Upgrades can increase the power of an item, but they also can decrease the quality of an item. Therefore, it is important to strike a balance between the two. Some items may not be worth upgrading, while others will need to be upgraded in order to realize their potential. For instance one player might wish to upgrade a piece breakpoint armor that comes with an interesting modifier ( percent chance of blocking or FHR) to explore the possibilities of what it can become. The primary reason why people play rerolls in Genshin Impact, or in any gacha-based game, is because they are trying to get a specific character or weapon that they can't otherwise obtain. These items can be costly and time-consuming to acquire, and the RNG does not always work in a positive way. The only options are to spend real cash or grind lots. Rerolling is a very popular option in Genshin Impact. Leveling When upgrading an item, you can pick to level up the weapon or armor. However, this feature is absolutely nothing in the current game. I believe it was intended to be a way to give some value to rare items, but because equipment generally drops quickly and is only upgraded once you've reached a certain level, you'll usually replace the item before it becomes old enough. It's also not worthwhile to upgrade item s with gem sockets because the power of the gem will be greater than the increase in ilvl with the upgrade. You will see a small box when you click on the upgrade option for an item. It will show the template of the item, the Crest, as well as the cost for Valorstone to raise the item level. The costs will vary between weapons and armor, with the former usually costing more than the latter. The upgrade template shows the stats that will be added to the upgraded item and will also list its current ilvl. The crest and Valorstone costs are calculated by analyzing the item's current ilvl and the upgrade template. The ilvl will also be reduced by the upgrade templates reduction percentage for lvl. For instance an upgrade of 8% can reduce the ilvl of a weapon by 8 to 8%. The item will receive upgrades to other stats, like critical strike damage, PvE damage and block, parry and dodge rating, in addition to the base ilvl. The increases are also dependent on the upgrade template. The amount of damage and defense that the item will receive as it gets leveled up can be observed below the upgrade cost and decrease percentages in the upgrade template window. Apart from the practice equipment, all armor and weapons gain the same stats when they are leveled 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. This is also true for other pieces of armor, such as tiaras and circlets.
