Path of Exile Item Upgrades The performance of a variety of Path of Exile items can be enhanced by upgrading them. They can be a good source of damage and more AD or even more affixes. In most cases, however upgraded Common and Magic gear is often surpassed by Rare-grade equipment due to their higher requirements. Armor Armor upgrades are a form of upgrade that can be used on armor and weapon items. They increase the effectiveness of the item they are connected to. Armor upgrades are found in the game's world and can be purchased from Blacksmiths at any bonfire. They can also be salvaged by using a professional or higher salvage kits to salvage upgrades from the items. The level of an armor's or weapon's upgrade determines the amount of damage it will take on. The upgrade of an armor piece to its highest upgrade level will increase the damage it absorbs. However, it's important to keep in mind that this will increase its weight, which will cause it to be heavier than before. There are a variety of armor upgrades that are available in the game. Each one has a distinct impact. For instance, some upgrades give the armor a certain number of health points while others make it stronger and lighter. The name of the upgrade will tell you the kind of upgrade the item can receive, as shown below. Some of the upgrades also require magic or a combination of technology and magic, which are indicated by the “Magic” and “Hybrids” entries in the table. Furthermore, some upgrades require a fee to use, which are indicated by an “Charges” entry in the table below. The charges for these upgrades refresh every day or never expire, depending on the upgrade. Iron Ore is the cheapest way to upgrade your armor. It can be found by exploring and looting small treasure chests. Titanium is more expensive however it is obtainable through smelters in Orgrimmar and Stormwind City. Certain upgrades, such as the Reforge or the Hot Potato Books can only be used on armor pieces of the highest level. These upgrades can provide significant boost to performance and are worth the investment, particularly for one-handed weapons. The process of upgrading an armor piece to the highest upgrade level will dramatically boost its defense but the wearer must be aware that putting more weight on it will dramatically reduce its speed and agility. Therefore, it is not recommended to upgrade the majority of armor pieces above +9, since the added defense is usually not worth the extra weight and power costs of the upgrades required. Weapons Weapon upgrades give players to enhance certain aspects of their weapon. For instance an upgrade can enhance the damage caused by a shotgun's shells or the accuracy of a rifle sniper. Certain weapons also come with upgrades that improve their innate qualities. Frictionless materials (improves stability, reduces the risk of the risk of overheating), and Kinetic coils (increases the projectile's acceleration to cause more damage) are two examples. The majority of upgrades to weapons require a whetblade, one of three Power Dices and a different amount Minerals and Erons. They can be obtained by completing Side Quests, taking out a certain number of monsters or bosses or from the Weapon Upgrade NPC located in Central Flarine. Upgrades to a weapon, equipment Set piece or Whetblade requires visiting the NPC [Armor] Boboko in Central Flarine and paying her an upgrade price of a certain number of Bars. The more bars required to complete an upgrade the more expensive the upgrade. If you have multiple upgrade materials the cost of upgrading will be less. In Chapter 2: Season 5, the method of upgrading your equipment and weapon sets has changed a bit. Before 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 do this until you reached the maximum upgrade level for the equipment or weapon, after which the upgrades would reset. It's still possible, but it is dependent heavily on RNG. You're better off buying gear with minimal upgrade levels, but high base scores and stat distributions. These items have a higher chance of giving you the highest level of benefits and blessings. The majority of players will prioritize weapon upgrades for the weapons they are most likely to use to help them level up quicker. Additionally players, they should also consider upgrading the weapons they use with their squadmates to increase their power and effective. For instance, Shepard should consider upgrading the M92F to unlock the Beretta M93R, which will make it more useful when accompanied by experts in biotics like Grunt and Tali. Jewels Jewels can be used to boost the effectiveness of a skill or provide additional effects on weapons and armor. Jewelry crafting is a method of making them, in which you combine gemstones with specific reagents on a table. The higher the tier of the gemstone, the better its secondary effect. These reagents can be found around the world through Treasure Goblins, World Bosses and sometimes by salvaging Legendary equipment. You can also buy them from The Jeweler in exchange for gold and Scattered Prisms. The Jeweler can boost the quality of gemstones in stages ranging from Crude up to Royal. Based on the tier of the jewel it can provide different stat boost when slotted into gear, weapons and jewelry. The Jeweler can craft the highest levels of gems except for the rare and legendary ones which you must attain certain levels to gain. Jewels can be replaced by another jewel without damaging the original. You are able to replace the jewel only once in a piece of equipment. It is common to use more jewelry to enhance the appearance of. Apart from improving performance, the jewels create an outer layer that is more durable than steel, so the repeated friction with pivots doesn't cause harm as easily. In addition to the above upgrades additionally, players can get glyphs for their weapons and shields from a Glyphmaster. These are a small perk and can be swapped out at any time but aren't guaranteed to drop as loot. Glyphs are like jewelry and can be upgraded by the Jeweler to exchange gold and Scattered Crystals. item upgrades are also removed from the inventory, and they are returned to the inventory. Other upgrade components, like traits and aegis, are not swappable, and can only be recovered using an Upgrade Extractor or salvaging them using Black Lion Salvage Kit or Ascended Salvage Tool. Trinkets Trinkets can provide your hero with many small, but useful advantages. They can be acquired starting in the areas of starting as loot, personal story rewards, from vendors, and by performing road interactions. They can be found on the Trading Post, or crafted by jewelers. The first trinkets that a player is able to unlock is the cloak. It grants a small, but valuable boost to speed of movement and evasion. The player can then acquire necklaces, rings, and amulets, in a similar way as they did with weapons and armor. Each piece of equipment has one upgrade slot that can accept either a universal or jewel upgrade. Universal upgrades offer fewer benefits and can be placed in any type of equipment while jewelry cannot be changed or upgraded, and is only compatible with certain types of trinkets. These trinkets also grant additional buffs and skills that remain active when the hero is not fighting. This lets a hero become more efficient even when not in combat. 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 a priority BiS (Best in Slot) items you won't replace anytime soon. Then, you should consider any items with desirable statistics that are less significant than the iLevel of the item to be upgraded. This is particularly true if an item has multiple stats that you wish to upgrade, as it's usually better to upgrade just one crucial stat than two subpar ones. Jungle players often upgrade their yellow trinket to a red trinket at the start of the game. Top and mid players, on the other hand, will choose a pink or green ward, based on the matchup. These choices will have a significant impact on the hero's abilities to control maps. In addition to the things mentioned above, players can find other trinkets in the game in the form of trophies and awards. These can be obtained through completing certain milestones within the story. For example, completing a chapter’s main quest or defeating a boss. They can be viewed by selecting the appropriate achievement in the reward tab of the hero menu.
