The Largest Issue That Comes With Item Upgrading, And How You Can Repair It
Path of Exile Item Upgrading
The most effective way to improve your gear in Path of Exile is through upgrading your items. This lets you upgrade your gear without having depend on costly drops or trades. This article will show you how to upgrade your gear effectively.
Upgrades to equipment provide an additional bonus to the item's stats. The amount of bonus varies according to the rarity and quality of the upgrade component.
Components
Upgrade components are the things that make your weapons and armor more effective. They can be obtained by destroying enemies, finding them in item spheres, or buying them from karma dealers. You can also get them from equipment that has the components, or by utilizing high-end salvage kits like Black Lion Salvage Kit and Ascended Salvage Tool. Unlike most other items upgrade components, upgrade components aren't destroyed when they are removed from an item.
upgrade item of upgrade components is to enable an item to be upgraded however, they also serve other purposes. They can be stacked in order to increase the level of experience gained by upgrading existing weapons or gear. They can be forged for additional bonuses. For instance, a specially created glyph can increase the upgrade chance of its target, whereas a boost upgrade will increase the attack or defense quality of a weapon or armor.
Selecting an upgrade template in the GUI will allow you to bind it to an item. This will display an upgrade component list that the item can be upgraded to. You can also utilize the workbench to select an upgrade template. In either case, the item will be upgraded when enough upgrade components have been gathered.
Each component has its own experience multiplier. This determines the amount of experience an item will gain when upgraded using that component. Organic components, for instance, have an increased multiplier of experience than mechanical components. You should upgrade your organic components first until you reach the next level in the weapon or equipment, and then move on to mechanical upgrades.
In addition to the multiplier for experience, each item also has the maximum number of upgrades that it can receive. The number of items that can be upgraded is determined by their upgradeable rank, and the type of upgrade they are able to receive. The most powerful upgrade is a weapon that is tier 10. However, the most commonly used upgrades for weapons are an tier 6 weapon as well as an armor upgrade of tier 5.
Sets
A set is a group of items that share bonuses. Each item can be upgraded at the minimum once. The upgrade increases the guaranteed bonuses. The first time you upgrade a set piece or weapon, it will receive an increase of +1 to its primary stat. On subsequent upgrades the stats of the primary one will be boosted a little more (for example, +1 to 12+/13+/14+) Every time you upgrade the item it will have one of its additional stats is increased randomly.
Upgrades can also increase a weapon's damage base. This may be important for certain types of weapons. However, weapons cannot be upgraded to a higher maximum defense roll than their base. It is possible to increase value of specific sets and unique items by upgrading them, but they might not always be superior to a higher-level Runeword.
If the item you're upgrading has a guaranteed bonus it is able to be rerolled a few times and the guarantee will be reset to 0. Rerolling will cost the same amount of power dice as bringing an item, but the new item will offer different extra bonuses. Upgrades can be made through 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 kind. These can be purchased by using Gold at the crafting table, or in the Ultra Collection. The NPC will also offer a special reward for each completed tier of the upgrade process. This reward can be rerolled one time using the same materials and components as the first item.

Rerolling
If players have enough tokens for rerolling, they can reroll any item that they've accumulated during the game. When an item is rerolled it will be replaced by the same level in another set. Reroll tokens can be purchased in the shop for a small sum of in-game currency. They are not refundable. The new item upgraded will still come with the extra benefits of the previous one, but its stats will be different also.
In addition to rerolling objects, players can also alter the identity of any equipment by engaging with an upgrader NPC. This will change the identification as a weapon to armor, or vice versa. The base stats and requirements remain the same. The change is permanent and will affect all characters that are wearing the gear.
Players can also increase the item level of any equipped device by obtaining upgrade components and communicating with the NPC who upgrades the item. This will cost a set number of crests and Valorstones dependent on the upgrade track and item type. For weapons, each step up will add 5% to its damage.
Upgrades can increase the effectiveness of an item, however they also can decrease the quality of an item. It is therefore important to strike a balance between the two. Some items are not worth upgrading, while others require upgrading to make them more effective. For example, a player might wish to upgrade a piece of breakpoint armor that has an interesting modifier (% chance to block or FHR) to discover what it could become.
Rerolling is a standard practice in Genshin Impact and other gacha-based games. People use it to try to obtain the character or weapon that they wouldn't otherwise have. These items can be time-consuming and expensive to obtain, and the RNG isn't always a good fit. The only choices left are to invest real money or grind lots. Rerolling is very popular in Genshin Impact.
Leveling
You can choose whether to upgrade the weapon or armor when upgrading an item. This feature is not available in the current version of the game. I believe it was intended to to give some value to rare items, but as the majority of gear drops quickly and is only upgraded one level up, you'll usually replace the item before it becomes too old. It is also not worth upgrading items with gem sockets since the power of the stone will outweigh any increase in ilvl.
If you click the upgrade button on an item, you'll be presented with a small window displaying the upgrade template for the item and the cost of crest and Valorstone to increase the item level. The costs will vary between the armor and weapons as well, with the former typically costing more than the latter. The upgrade template lists the stats that will be added to an upgraded item, as well as 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 templates reduction percentage for lvl. For instance, a weapon with an upgrade decrease of 8% will reduce its count by 8-8%.
In addition to the base ilvl boost the item will also be upgraded in other stats like critical strike damage, PvE damage and dodge, block, and parry rating. These increases are built on the upgrade template.
In the upgrade template you can check the amount of damage or defense the item will suffer after it is leveled up. This is displayed below the cost as well as the upgrade percentages. All weapons and armor apart from practice equipment get these stats once they've been leveled up. The value of these stats will be dictated by the market, with a perfectly rolled perfect version of a weapon or piece of armor can command significantly higher trade values than non-upp'd versions. This is also true for other pieces of armor like tiaras or circlets.
