Path of Exile item upgrading, Highly recommended Reading,

Item upgrading allows players to upgrade their weapons and gear by adding new affixes, boosting the base stats of the item level upgrade or providing additional benefits. To upgrade items, players must have the item in their inventory, and also access the kiln.

Usually objects that have weak bases (like rings) can be upgraded to a more powerful base, while objects with strong bases, such as eth titans aren't affected in their stats following being upgraded.

Upgrade components

Upgrade components are items that can be slotted into trinkets, armor, weapons and gathering tools, providing an attribute bonus or additional impact when the equipment is used. They can be bought from vendors, retrieved in loot from enemies, or gotten from chests and missions. Certain upgrades also have cosmetic effects. Most upgrades require that the equipment be above a certain level before they can be upgraded.

To upgrade the quality of a weapon, armor or other item upgrader kit in the game, the player will have to select it and click the Upgrade button on the toolbar. This will show on the right-hand side of the screen a preview that shows the expected upgrade stats as well as the necessary component or materials.

There are three types of upgrade components that are universal upgrades, prefix upgrades, and suffix upgrades. Universal upgrades, such as gems, can be placed on any type of equipment. They offer a lower bonus than upgrade components that have a specific type limitation. Infusions, which can only be placed in ascended gear and legendary equipment are exactly the same as gems, but offer higher bonuses and cannot be used in any other equipment. Suffix upgrades can be added to gathering tools. They will add the suffix to the end of item names. For instance the addition of the suffix Glyph will transform a Staff wrapping of Minor Vigor into a Canthan staff wrapping of Minor Vigor.

If an individual upgrades a gathering tool, and then replaces the glyphs with a different one the previous one will be returned to their inventory. If you replace any other upgrade component with a glyph, it will be destroyed, with the exception for the inscriptions, which can be freely swapped.

Leveling

Path of Exile's upgrade process is different from the previous versions in a few fundamental ways. Gear is now divided into tracks and items can only be upgraded a certain number of times before being "leveled out." The cost for upgrades increases with each level up however, the materials needed don't increase as much. This allows players to focus their efforts on a few key items and maximize their impact instead of spreading the upgrade costs across several pieces.

This allows the item to receive upgraded components and a higher chance of success. This bonus is referred to as the Artisan's Energy and it is reset to 0 in the event of failure, or increases when the upgrade succeeds.

Once a piece of gear is upgraded to its highest level it can be eligible to receive affixes that will enhance its capabilities. The amount of affixes available is determined by the item upgrades's kind. For example, a rare or unique weapon that has a standard base will have only two affixes available for it, whereas a legendary armor will have up to eight affixes available for it.

Each upgrade process requires a specific number of Flightstones or Crests, depending on the type of item upgrader kit at its current level and in what slot it is placed in. In general, weapons will require more Flightstones to upgrade than other kinds of equipment.

If an item fails to reach its maximum level, the NPC offers players the option to transfer it to a new character and then re-infuse it with a different set of upgrades. This process takes up to two hours and costs the same amount of materials but will have a lower chance of success.

Engineers utilize a level to compare the height of the building against a known point, like the benchmark. This is referred to as a "level-loop." It involves taking readings using the level and backsight rod, then turning the level and taking the foresight rod reading. This method ensures that buildings are constructed to a high level of safety and accuracy.

Rerolling

Rerolling is the process of changing the upgrade components of an Best item upgrader. It is an essential part of the game and can improve the damage, strength, or other attributes. You can do this via the menu for items, or by pressing the Reroll button every time you upgrade an item. Rerolling is costly and should only be used in rare cases.

Reroll tokens are derived by recycling upgraded items. These tokens 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 cost and rarity of upgrading an item will determine the level of filling.

Prior to this, some upgrades were given priority affixes which made them more accessible for players to roll. This meant that you'd receive the stats that mattered most to your build more often than others. This included stats like armor's total armour, thorns and the control impaired duration stats or the weapons' bonus attack speed and strike chance.

This was changed in the latest patch. Priority affixes were removed, and all upgrades have the same chance of rolling for each statistic. This can be good or bad, based on what you want and need from your equipment.

Each upgraded item may also be equipped with a special fixed-value bonus that boosts its power by a specific percentage. These bonuses are rolled into the usual affixes. The more you improve a product, the higher your chance of obtaining the bonus of a different kind.

The game also comes with number set that grants a bonus when three or four upgraded items from the set are equipped on an item. This is a great way to add a lot of power to a particular character without spending an excessive amount of money.

Many players opt to reroll their gear and weapons, especially in the beginning stages of the game. Rerolling is a way to create a more powerful character faster, allowing players to advance in the game and attain higher tiers.

Sets

Sets are collections that can be organized differently. They can be different sizes, have no elements, or contain one element. They can be used to organize data or organize information. They can also be used to study patterns. Sets can be classified in a variety of ways such as size and shape.

There are a range of set items available to upgrade in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Certain items are worth upgrading, while some are not. Sets of armor that offer high defense values or set bonuses are generally worth upgrading. However, most upgrades to weapons do not boost the stats of the item when as compared to their purple counterparts. This makes them less attractive to upgrade when your collection of armor and weapons pieces is already extensive.

Set items can be upgraded to include special procs that are useful for specific builds. Guillaume's Face face and Aldur's Advance boots are examples of this. Both were upgraded from Exceptional Winged Helm and Exceptional Mirrored Boots respectively, boosting their defense by 217 to 321 (Strength requirement and Level requirement increased as well).

Upgrades are also possible to bring certain items to parity with the tiers. For example, the Immortal King set has a vast range of levels, ranging between 29 and 76. The upgrade of lower-level items in the set can increase 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 items required to upgrade it. It will show the item's attributes, along with the items needed to upgrade it. For instance the No-mouth face will require 1.1K Scrap Materials as well as 250 Enchanted Dust, and 5 Glowing Shards to upgrade. Alternately, players can go to the Leaderboard or Golden vendor in Cyrodiil to check the requirements for upgrading specific items.

Generally speaking the jewelry and weapons have better trade value when fully upgraded than armor. Particularly, for weapons that feature damage glyphs that are spell-like or weapon-related upgrading them to gold is recommended because it will provide a significant improvement in their stats. This will also increase the defense of armor with an updated appearance.
