Path of Exile Item Upgrades Upgrades to items are a frequent and essential way to boost the performance of a variety of items in Path of Exile. They can also provide additional damage, AD or even affixes. Rare-grade equipment is usually superior to modernized Common or Magic gear because of their high requirements. Armor Armor upgrades can be applied to both weapon and armor items. They increase the effectiveness of the item that they are attached to. Armor upgrades can be found in the world of the game and can be purchased from Blacksmiths at any bonfire. They can also be salvaged using an expert or higher salvage kit to salvage upgrade components from items. The level of an armor's or weapon's upgrade determines the amount of damage it can absorb. A piece of armor upgraded to maximum upgrade level will increase its damage absorption. However, it's important be aware that this upgrade will increase its weight, which will cause it to be heavier than before. There are a few different types of armor upgrades available in the game and they all have different effects. Some upgrades give armor an additional number of health points while others make it stronger and lighter. The kind of armor upgrade an item will receive will be identified by the name of the upgrade as illustrated in the table below. A few upgrades also feature magic or a mix of technology and magic which is indicated by a “Magic” or “Hybrid” entry in the table below. Certain upgrades require charges for use. These are identified as “Charges” entries in the table. These charges are either updated daily or never expire, depending on the upgrade. The cheapest way to upgrade armor is to use Iron Ore, which can be gathered through exploring the surroundings and looting small loot chests. Titanium is more costly, however, it is available at the smelters of Orgrimmar and Stormwind City. Certain upgrades, such as the Reforge or the Hot Potato Books can only be used on armor pieces that are of high-level. These upgrades can provide a significant boost to stats and are a worthwhile investment, particularly for one-handed weapons. The player must be aware that upgrading a piece to the maximum upgrade level can boost its defense. However, it can also affect its agility and speed. Therefore, it is generally not recommended to upgrade armor pieces above +9, because the increase in defense is generally not worth the additional weight and power costs of the upgrades required. Weapons Weapon upgrades give players to enhance certain aspects of their weapon. For instance an upgrade could enhance the damage caused by the shells of a shotgun or the accuracy of the rifle that snipes. Certain weapons also come with enhancements that enhance their intrinsic capabilities. Frictionless materials (improves stability, and reduces weapon overheating) and Kinetic coils (increases the projectile's velocity for greater damage) are two examples. Most weapon upgrades require one of three Power Dices, a different amount of Minerals and Erons and a whetblade for applying. These can be obtained by completing side quests or by killing a certain amount of bosses and monsters. To upgrade the weapon, equipment set piece or Whetblade You must go to the NPC [Armor] Boboko located in Central Flarine, and pay her an upgrade fee of a specific amount of Bars. The higher the upgrade level, the higher the number of bars you will need to complete the upgrade. The cost of upgrading will be lower if have more than one of the relevant upgrade materials. In Chapter 2: Season 5, the way you upgrade your equipment and weapon sets has changed a bit. Before you could go to an Upgrade Bench and pay a set amount of Bars to upgrade your weapon or equipment to a higher rarity. You could do this until you reached the maximum upgrade level for your equipment or weapon, following which upgrades would reset. It's still possible, but it depends heavily on RNG. Instead, you're much better off going to the stores and purchasing equipment with low upgrade levels, but good base scores and stat distributions. These items have a greater chance of giving you the highest level of benefits and blessings. To increase their level faster, most players will prioritize upgrading their weapons. Players should also upgrade the weapons their teammates utilize to increase their power. For instance, Shepard should consider upgrading the M92F to unlock the Beretta M93R, which will enhance its effectiveness when paired with experts in biotics like Grunt and Tali. Jewels Jewels are used in the sockets of armor and weapons, enhancing the stats of a weapon and providing additional effects. Jewelry crafting is a method for making them, in which you combine a gemstone with a number specific reagents on a table. The higher the tier of the gem has, the more powerful its secondary effect. These reagents can be gotten from Treasure Goblins and World Bosses all over the world, or through salvaging Legendary Gear. You can also buy them from The Jeweler for gold and a Scattered Prism. The Jeweler can boost the quality of gemstones in stages ranging from Crude up to Royal. The boosts to stats will differ depending on the tier the jewel is in when it's slotted into jewelry, weapons or other gear. The Jeweler can craft the highest levels of gems apart from the rare and legendary ones which require certain levels to gain. Jewels can be substituted with another jewel without damaging the original. However you can only swap out one jewel in a piece of equipment only once. It is normal to use more gems for aesthetic reasons. The jewels can also enhance performance and make a harder surface than metal so that repeated friction from pivots do not cause damage to them. A Glyphmaster can provide glyphs to enhance the appearance of your shields and weapons. These glyphs give a slight boost and can be freely traded, but they're not guaranteed to show up as loot. Glyphs are upgradeable, like jewelry, at the Jeweler for gold, and also a scattered Crystal. Glyphs can also be taken out from the inventory, and they are returned to the inventory. Other upgrade components, like aegis and traits, cannot be swapped out, and can only be recovered using an Upgrade Extractor or salvaging them with the Black Lion Salvage Kit or Ascended Salvage Tool. Trinkets Trinkets are small pieces of equipment that provide many small but useful benefits to your hero. You can find them in the starter area as loot or as personal story rewards. They can also be obtained from vendors as well as through completing road interaction. They can also be crafted by jewelers and later found or purchased from the Trading Post. The first trinket that a player will unlock is the cloak. It gives a small, but useful bonus in movement speed and the ability to evade. After that, they'll be able to purchase amulets, rings and necklaces in a similar manner to the way a player can acquire armor and weapons. Each piece of gear comes with one upgrade slot that can accommodate either a universal upgrade or a jewel upgrade. Universal upgrades offer fewer benefits and can be put into any kind of equipment however, jewelry cannot be replaced or upgraded and is only compatible with certain types of trinkets. These trinkets also provide additional buffs and skills that remain active even when the character is not in combat. This allows the hero to be more efficient while inactive. It can also compensate for the lack of a strong slots in the team or talent tree which would normally be filled by the hero's optimal stats. In general trinket upgrades should be prioritized over BiS (Best in Slot) items that you aren't likely to replace soon. Then, you should consider any items with desirable statistics that are less significant than the iLevel of the item that is to be upgraded. This is especially true if an item has multiple stats you'd like to upgrade, as it's usually better to upgrade a single important stat than two sub-optimal ones. Jungle players usually upgrade their yellow trinkets to a red one at the start of the game. Mid and top players however, will choose either a pink or green ward, based on the game's matchup. These choices can impact a hero's ability to control the map. In addition to the items listed above, players will also discover other trinkets in form of trophies and rewards throughout the game. They can be obtained by completing certain milestones within the story. For instance, finishing the main quest for a chapter or beating an opponent. item upgrader Casesgg can view them by selecting the achievement from the reward section of the hero's menu.
