Path of Exile Item Upgrades The performance of many Path of Exile items can be enhanced by upgrading the performance of them. They can cause additional damage, AD or even affixes. Rare-grade equipment is usually superior to upgraded Common or Magic gear due to their high demands. Armor Armor upgrades are a form of upgrade that can be applied to weapons and armor items. They boost the performance of the item they're attached to. Armor upgrades can be found in the world of the game and purchased from Blacksmiths on bonfires. They can also be salvaged by using an expert or higher salvage kits to salvage upgrades from the items. The amount of damage that a piece of armor or weapon is able to absorb is dependent on the level of its upgrades. A piece of armor upgraded to the highest upgrade level will increase the damage it absorbs. It is important to note that this will increase the weight of the armor, therefore it should be heavier. There are a few different kinds of armor upgrades available in the game and each one has distinct effects. Certain upgrades give armor an additional amount of health points while others make it more powerful and lighter. The kind of armor upgrade an item will receive is indicated by the name of the upgrade as illustrated in the table below. item upgrade of the upgrades also require magic or a hybrid technology and magic, as identified by the “Magic” and “Hybrids” entries in the table below. Furthermore, some upgrades require a fee to use, which are identified by an “Charges” entry in the table below. These charges are either continuously updated or never expire depending on the upgrade. Iron Ore is the cheapest option to improve your armor. It can be found by exploring and looting small loot chests. Titanium is more expensive, however, it is available in the smelters of Orgrimmar and Stormwind City. Some upgrades, such as the Reforge and the Hot Potato Books, can only be applied to high level armor pieces. These upgrades can provide significant improvements in stats and are worth the investment, particularly for one-handed weapons. Upgrading a piece of armor to the highest upgrade level will greatly boost its defense, but the player should be aware that increasing its weight will dramatically reduce its speed and agility. It is not recommended to upgrade armor past +9. The boost in defense generally isn't worth the weight and power costs of the upgrades. Weapons Weapon upgrades allow players to improve the effectiveness of certain aspects of a weapon. Upgrades can improve the accuracy of a rifle, or the damage caused by shotgun shells. Certain weapons come with special enhancements to enhance their intrinsic capabilities. They include Frictionless Materials (improves stability and reduces the risk of the risk of overheating) and Kinetic Coils (increases the speed of projectiles to cause more damage). The majority of weapon upgrades require a whetblade. It's one of three Power Dices and a different amount of Minerals and Erons. These can be obtained by completing Side Quests, killing a certain amount of monsters or bosses or by contacting 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 fee that is based on a specific number of Bars. The more bars needed to complete an upgrade the higher the level. The cost of upgrading will be lower if you have more than one of the upgrade materials. In Chapter 2: Season 5, the ways to upgrade your equipment and weapon sets has changed a bit. In the past you could go to an Upgrade Bench and pay for a specific amount of Bars to upgrade your equipment or weapon to a higher quality. You could do this until you reached a maximum upgrade level for the equipment or weapon, following which the upgrades would be reset. You can still do this but the process is high on RNG and low on agency. You should consider buying equipment that has minimal upgrade levels, but high base scores and stat distributions. These items have a greater chance of granting you the highest tier blessings and perks. To improve their skills faster, many players prioritize upgrading their weapons. In addition to these, players should consider upgrading the weapons favored by their squadmates to make them more powerful and effective. Shepard for instance should upgrade his M92F so that he can unlock the Beretta M93R. This will make the weapon more useful when used with biotic specialists like Grunt and Tali. Jewels Jewels are utilized in the armor's sockets and weapons, enhancing a stat and providing secondary effects. They can be created through an process known as jewelry crafting, where you combine a gem and several chemicals at a table. The higher the quality of the jewel the better the 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 for gold and a Scattered Prism. The quality of a jewel can be improved by the Jeweler, in stages that range from Crude to Royal. Depending on the tier of the gem it will give different stat boost when slotted into gear, weapons and jewelry. The Jeweler can create all tiers of gems, with the exception of rare and legendary ones which require certain levels to gain. In contrast to other upgrade components, jewels are able to be swapped with another identical jewel without destroying the original one. You can only replace the gem only once in a piece of equipment. It is normal to use more jewelry to enhance the appearance of. Jewels also enhance performance and make an outer layer that is more durable than steel so that repeated friction from pivots do not cause damage to the movement. In addition to the upgrades mentioned above, the player can also acquire glyphs for their weapons and shields from a Glyphmaster. They offer a small benefit and can be swapped out at any time but aren't guaranteed to drop as loot. Glyphs, like jewelry, can be upgraded at the Jeweler to exchange gold and Scattered Crystals. Glyphs can also be removed and returned to the inventory. Other upgrade components, such as aegis and traits, aren't swappable and are only recoverable by using an Upgrade Extractor or salvaging them with the Black Lion Salvage Kit or an Ascended Salvage Tool. Trinkets Trinkets are a great way to provide your hero with various small, but beneficial benefits. You can find them in the start-up area as rewards for personal stories or loot. They are also available through vendors and after completing road interaction. They can be found on the Trading Post, or crafted by jewelers. The first trinket a player will unlock is the cloak. It grants a small but beneficial boost in speed of movement and evasion. The player will then be able to acquire necklaces, rings, and amulets in a similar fashion to how they acquired weapons and armor. Each piece of equipment has an upgrade slot that is either universal or jewel. 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 certain kinds of trinkets. These trinkets provide additional buffs and abilities that are active even when the hero isn't fighting. This allows the hero to be more efficient while inactive. It also helps compensate for the absence of excellent slots in the team or talent tree which would normally be filled by a hero's top stats. In general trinket upgrades should be prioritized over BiS (Best in Slot) items you won't replace anytime soon. Next, any items with desirable statistics that aren't as significant as the iLevel for the item that is to be upgraded. This is especially true if you are looking to upgrade multiple stats on an item. It is more beneficial to upgrade a single important stat instead of two subpar ones. In the beginning of the game, players who are in the jungle will typically want to upgrade their yellow trinket to a red in the middle and top players typically choose the pink or green ward (depending on the game's matchup). These choices can affect a hero's ability to control the map. In addition to the items mentioned above, players can also find other trinkets that form of rewards and trophies throughout the game. These can be earned by completing certain milestones in the story, like the main quest of a chapter or killing a particular boss. They can be viewed by selecting the appropriate achievement from the reward tab of the hero menu.
