Path of Exile Item Upgrades Upgrades to items are a frequent and important way to improve the performance of numerous items in Path of Exile. item upgrader can be a good source of additional damage or more AD or even more attachments. Sometimes, however upgraded Common and Magic gear is beaten out by Rare-grade gear due to their high requirements. Armor Armor upgrades can be applied to both weapon and armor items. They increase the effectiveness of the item they're attached to. Armor upgrades can be found in the game's world and can be purchased from Blacksmiths at any bonfire. They can also be salvaged using a specialist or higher salvage kits to retrieve upgrade components from items. The level of an armor's or weapon's upgrade determines the amount of damage it is able to absorb. The absorption of damage by an item of armor will increase when it is upgraded to its maximum upgrade level. However, it's important be aware that this upgrade will raise its weight, requiring it to weigh more than it was before. There are a variety of armor upgrades that are available in the game. Each has a different impact. Certain upgrades give armor an additional number of health points, while others make it more powerful and lighter. The type of armor upgrade that an item can receive is indicated by the name of the upgrade as indicated in the table below. Some of the upgrades also require magic or a hybrid technology and magic, as identified by the “Magic” and “Hybrids” entries in the table below. Some upgrades also require a fee to use, which are shown by the “Charges” entry in the table below. These charges are continuously updated or never expire based on the upgrade. Iron Ore is the cheapest method to upgrade your armor. It can be found by exploring and looting small treasure chests. Titanium is more expensive, but is readily available at the smelters of Orgrimmar and Stormwind City. Certain upgrades, like the Reforge or the Hot Potato Books can only be applied on high-level armor pieces. These upgrades can provide significant improvements in stats and are definitely worth the cost. The player must be aware, however, that upgrading a piece up to the max upgrade level will increase its defense value. However, it can also reduce its agility and speed. This is why it is typically not recommended to upgrade the majority of armor pieces beyond +9, since the added defense is typically not worth the additional weight and power cost of the improvements required. Weapons Weapon upgrades allow players to enhance certain aspects of their weapon. For example an upgrade could increase the damage dealt by the shells of a shotgun or the accuracy of a sniper rifle. Some weapons have special enhancements to enhance their intrinsic capabilities. Frictionless materials (improves stability, minimizes weapon overheating), and Kinetic coils (increases the projectile's speed for greater damage) are two examples. The majority of upgrades to weapons require three Power Dices, a different amount of Minerals and Erons and a whetblade to apply. They can be obtained by completing Side Quests, taking out a certain number of monsters or bosses, or through the Weapon Upgrade NPC located in Central Flarine. To upgrade a weapon, equipment set piece or Whetblade You must go to the NPC [Armor] Boboko located in Central Flarine, and pay her an upgrade fee that is a certain amount of bars. The higher the upgrade level, the higher the number of bars are required to complete it. If you have multiple upgrade materials, the cost of upgrading will be less. In Chapter 2: Season 5, the way you upgrade your equipment and weapon sets has changed a bit. Previously you could search for an Upgrade Bench and pay a certain number of Bars to upgrade your weapon or equipment to a higher level of rarity. You could continue to do this until you reached the maximum upgrade level for your weapon or equipment, after which upgrades would reset. It's possible, but it is dependent heavily on RNG. Instead, you're better off going to stores and buying equipment with low upgrade levels, but good base scores and stat distributions. These items will have a higher likelihood of granting you most prestigious tier of blessings and perks. To level up faster, many players prioritize upgrading their weapons. Additionally, players should consider upgrading the weapons that are most popular with their squadmates to make them more powerful as well. For instance, Shepard should consider upgrading the M92F to unlock the Beretta M93R to increase its utility when paired with experts in biotics like Grunt and Tali. Jewels Jewels can be used to improve the effectiveness of a skill or provide additional effects on weapons and armor. They can be created through an process known as jewelry crafting, where you combine a gemstone and various ingredients at a table for jewelry. The higher the grade of the gemstone is, the greater its secondary effect. These reagents can be found around the world from Treasure Goblins, World Bosses and sometimes by salvaging Legendary equipment. You can also buy them from The Jeweler for gold and a Scattered Prism. The Jeweler can enhance the quality of gemstones in stages ranging from Crude up to Royal. Based on the level of the gem it can provide different stat boost when slotted into weapons, equipment and jewelry. The Jeweler can create all kinds of gems, with the exception of rare and legendary ones, which you must attain a certain level to get. Unlike other upgrade components, jewels can be swapped out with another identical jewel without damaging it. You are able to replace the jewel once within an item of equipment. It is normal to use more jewelry to enhance the appearance of. Jewels also enhance performance and create an outer layer that is more durable than metal so that repeated friction from pivots does not cause damage to the movement. In addition to the above upgrades players can also get glyphs for their shields and weapons from a Glyphmaster. These glyphs give a slight boost and can be swapped, but they're not guaranteed to be available as loot. Glyphs can be upgraded like jewelry, at the Jeweler for gold and Scattered Crystal. Glyphs may also be removed and returned to the inventory. Other upgrade components such as traits or aegis cannot be exchanged, and can only be recovered through an upgrade extractor or salvaging with the Black Lion Salvage Kit, or Ascended Salvage. Trinkets Trinkets can be used to give your character various small, but valuable advantages. They can be acquired starting in the starter areas as loot or personal story rewards from vendors, and by completing road interactions. They may also be crafted by jewelers, and then found or purchased from the Trading Post. The first trinket that a player will unlock is the cloak. It gives a small but beneficial boost in speed of movement and the ability to evade. Then, they can purchase amulets, rings and necklaces in the same fashion to how the player can acquire armor and weapons. Each piece of equipment comes with one upgrade slot that accepts either a universal upgrade or a jewel upgrade. Universal upgrades offer smaller bonuses and can be put into any type of equipment, while jewelry cannot be replaced or upgraded and is only compatible with specific types of trinkets. These trinkets can provide additional bonuses and abilities that are active when the hero isn't fighting. This allows the hero to be more effective when not active, and can also help fill in the void of a solid team or any slots from the talent tree that normally are filled with the hero's ideal statistics. A good guideline for trinket upgrades is to prioritize BiS (Best-in-Slot) items that you aren't planning to replace soon, followed by items with desirable stats that are less important than the iLevel of the item being upgraded. This is true especially if you're looking to upgrade several statistics on an item. It is more beneficial to upgrade a single important stat instead of two subpar ones. Jungle players usually upgrade their yellow trinkets to a red trinket at the start of the game. Mid and top players, on the other hand will pick either a pink or green ward, based on the matchup. These choices can impact a hero's ability to control the map. In addition to the things mentioned above, players may also discover a variety of other trinkets throughout the game in the form of trophies and awards. These can be earned by completing certain milestones in the story, such as completing a chapter's main quest or killing a certain boss. You can check them out by selecting the achievement in the reward section of the hero's menu.
