Path of Exile Item Upgrading
Players can upgrade their weapons and equipment using new accessories. They can also improve the base stats of the item or provide additional benefits. To upgrade items, players must have the item in their inventory and access the kiln.
Items with weak bases, such as rings, can be upgraded into stronger bases. Items with strong bases, such as eth Titans have little change in their stats.
Upgrade components
Upgrade components can be added to armors, weapons, trinkets, and gathering tools. They can be used as an attribute bonus, or additional effect, when the equipment is being used. They can be purchased from vendors, retrieved as loot by enemies, or gotten from chests or missions. Certain upgrades also have cosmetic effects. Most upgrades require that the equipment be at a specific level to upgrade.
To upgrade an armor, weapon or other item in the game, players must select it and then click the Upgrade button on the toolbar. The preview will appear on the right side of the screen showing what the expected upgrade statistics will be and also the necessary element or material required for the upgrade to take place.
There are three types of universal upgrades (which include gems), prefix upgrades, and suffix upgrade components. Universal upgrades, such as gems, are able to be placed on any type of equipment. They offer a lesser bonus than upgrade components that are subject to a type limitation. Infusions are gems that are only available in legendary and ascended equipment. They offer the same benefits as jewels, but they cannot be used in other equipment. Suffix upgrades can be added to gathering tools. They will add the suffix at the end of the item's name. For example the addition of a Glyph would make the staff wrapping of Minor Vigor into a Canthan staff wrapping of Minor Vigor.
If a player upgrades a gathering tool and replaces glyphs with another glyph the old one will be returned to their inventory. If you replace another upgrade component, it will be destroyed, except for inscriptions, which are able to be swapped.
Leveling
Path of Exile's upgrade process differs from previous versions in some fundamental ways. Gear is now classified into tracks and each item is able to be upgraded a certain number of times before it is "leveled out." The upgrade cost increases with each level however, the materials needed aren't as high. This allows players to focus their efforts on a handful of important items to maximize their impact, instead of spreading the upgrade costs across several items.
When an item is finished being leveled, it will be able to receive an upgrade set of components, as well as an increase in the likelihood that the upgrade will succeed. This bonus is known as the Artisan's Power and it resets to 0 after failure or increases if the upgrade succeeds.
After a piece has been upgraded to its maximum level, it can receive the affixes needed to enhance its abilities. The number of affixes that are available will depend on the item's base. For example, an uncommon or unique weapon with a standard base will have only two affixes, whereas a legend armor will have eight affixes.
Each upgrade will require the use of a certain amount of Flightstones and crests to complete, depending on the current level of the item and the item slot it's in. Weapons usually require more Flightstones than other equipment.
If an item is not able to reach its max level The NPC will offer the player the option of transfer it to another character and re-infuse it with an upgrade set that is different. This process can take up to two hours, and costs the same amount of materials. However, it has a lower chance of success.
To measure the height of a structure engineers employ a level to compare the measurement to a known reference point such as a benchmark or the elevation of the ground. This process is known as a "level-loop." It involves taking readings using the level and backsight rod, then turning the level and making the foresight rod reading. This method ensures that buildings are constructed to an extremely high degree of precision and safety.
Rerolling
Rerolling is the process of altering the upgrade components of an item. It is a vital aspect of the game and can significantly enhance an item's strength, damage, or other attributes. It is possible to do this through the item menu or by pressing the Reroll button every time you upgrade an item. Rerolling can be costly and should only be done in very rare instances.
Reroll tokens are obtained by recycling upgraded items. Casesgg can be used to upgrade either the original item or a similar item. Recyclable items come with an indicator that indicates the degree of upgrade. The rarity and cost of upgrading an item will determine the level of filling.
In the past, certain upgrade items were affixed with priority that made them easier to roll for than others. This meant that you'd get the most crucial stats to your build more often than other items. This included things like the armor's total armor, thorns and duration reduction stats that are controlled or the weapon's bonus attack speed and critical strike chance.
This was changed in the latest patch. Priority affixes have been removed, and all upgrades have the same chance of rolling for each statistic. This can be a great or a bad thing, dependent on your needs and expectations from your equipment.
Each upgraded item may be equipped with a special bonus that boosts the power of the item by a set percentage or flat value. These bonuses are rolled in addition to the usual affixes. The more you upgrade a product, the greater your chances of receiving the bonus of a different kind.
The game also includes number sets that give an extra bonus when three or four upgraded items from the set are equipped on a unit. This is a good method to give a character a lot more power without spending a ton of money.
Many players prefer to reroll their equipment and weapons, particularly in the beginning stages of the game. Rerolling is a method to gain a stronger character faster, which allows you to progress in the game and attain higher tiers.
Sets
Sets are groups of elements that can be put together in a variety of ways. They can be different sizes, contain no elements, or only have a single element. They can be used to organize data or sort information. They can also be used to study patterns. Sets can be classified in several ways, including by size and shape.
The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom offers an extensive selection of upgradeable set items. Some are worth upgrading, while others aren't. Upgrades are worthwhile for armor sets with high defense value and set bonuses. Weapon upgrades are not as effective in improving stats as their purple counterparts. This makes them less attractive to upgrade when your collection of weapons and armor pieces is already huge.
Set items can be upgraded to include special tools that are suitable for certain builds. Guillaume's Face face and Aldur's Advance boots are a good example of this. Both were upgraded to Exceptional Winged Helms and Exceptional Mirrored Boots, respectively. This increased their defense from 217 to 321. (Strength requirements and Level requirements also increased).
Upgrades can also be done to bring certain items up to parity with the tiers. For example, the Immortal King set has a vast range of levels, ranging from 29 to 76. Upgrading lower-level set items can boost their defense and make them more competitive in terms of damage.
Clicking the Upgrade button will display the attributes of the item as well as the required items to upgrade it. The item will be displayed with its characteristics, as well as the necessary items required to upgrade it. For example the No-mouth face will require 1.1K Scrap Materials, 250 Enchanted Dust, and 5 Glowing Shards to upgrade. Players can also check the upgrade requirements for specific items at the Cyrodiil Golden vendor or Leaderboard.
In general, weapons and armor have higher value when fully updated. Particularly, for weapons that feature damage glyphs that are spell-like or weapon-related, upgrading them to gold is recommended because it will result in a significant increase in their power. Weapons with an upgraded appearance will also benefit from this because its defense will increase as it goes from purple to gold.
