Path of Exile Item Upgrades

The performance of a variety of Path of Exile items can be enhanced by upgrading their performance. They can be a fantastic source of additional damage or more AD or even more attaches.

Rare-grade equipment is often superior to upgraded Common or Magic equipment due to their high demands.

Armor

Armor upgrades are a type of upgrade that can be applied to armor and weapon items. They increase the effectiveness of the item that they are connected to. Armor upgrades are available 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 recover upgrade components from other items.

The amount of damage that an armored piece or weapon is able to absorb is dependent on the level of its upgrades. The upgrade of an armor piece to its highest upgrade level will increase the damage it absorbs. However, it's important keep in mind that this will increase its weight, which will cause it to be heavier than it was before.

There are many different kinds of armor upgrades available in the game. Each has a different effect. For example, some upgrades will give the armor a certain number of additional health points, while others make it stronger and lighter. The kind of armor upgrade an item can get will be indicated by the name of the upgrade as illustrated in the table below.

A few of the upgrades are also magic or a hybrid of magic and technology, which is shown by the "Magic" or "Hybrid" entry in the table below. Some upgrades also require charges to use. They are referred to as "Charges" entries in the table. These charges are either continuously updated or never expire based on the upgrade.

Iron Ore is the cheapest way to improve your armor. You can locate it by exploring and looting small treasure chests. Titanium is more expensive but it can be obtained from the smelters in Orgrimmar and Stormwind City. Some upgrades, such as the Reforge and the Hot Potato Books, can only be applied to higher level armor pieces. These upgrades can provide significant increases in stats and are worth the investment.

A piece of armor upgraded to max upgrade level will greatly increase its defense values but the wearer must be aware that increasing its weight will drastically reduce its speed and agility. For this reason, it is generally not recommended to upgrade armor pieces that are higher than +9 because the increase in defense is usually not worth the extra weight and power cost of the upgrades required.

Weapons

Weapon upgrades allow players to enhance certain aspects of their weapon. Upgrades can increase the accuracy of a rifle or the damage caused by shotgun shells. Certain firearms have enhancements to enhance their intrinsic characteristics. These include Frictionless Materials (improves stability and reduces the risk of weapon overheating) and Kinetic Coils (increases projectile acceleration for more damage).

Most weapon upgrades require one of three Power Dices, a different amount of Minerals and Erons, and a whetblade for applying. They can be obtained by completing side quests or by killing a certain amount of monsters and bosses.

Upgrading a Weapon, Equipment Set piece or Whetblade requires visiting the NPC [Armor] Boboko in Central Flarine and paying her an upgrade fee of a set number of Bars. The more bars needed to complete an upgrade, the more advanced the level. If you have multiple upgrade materials, the cost of upgrading will be less.

In Chapter 2: Season 5 the way you upgrade weapon and equipment sets has changed a bit. In the past, you could seek out an Upgrade Bench and pay a certain number of Bars to upgrade your equipment or weapon to an increased rarity. You could continue doing this until you reached a max upgrade level of the equipment or weapon, after which the upgrades would be reset.

It's still possible, but it depends heavily on RNG. You should consider buying equipment with minimal upgrade levels and high base scores and stat distributions. These items have a better chance of giving you the most prestigious tier of advantages and benefits.

The majority of players will prioritize weapon upgrades for the weapons they most often use to make sure they are able to level up quicker. Players should also upgrade the weapons that their squadmates use to make them stronger. Shepard, for example, should upgrade the M92F to unlock the Beretta M93R. This will make the weapon more useful when used with biotic specialists such as Grunt and Tali.

Jewels

Jewels are placed in the sockets of armor and weapons, increasing the power of a character and bringing about secondary effects. Jewelry crafting is a method of making them, where you combine a gemstone with a number specific reagents in a jewelry table. The higher the tier of the jewel has, the more powerful its secondary effect. These reagents are available from Treasure Goblins and World Bosses in the world, or through collecting Legendary Gear. You can also buy them from The Jeweler in exchange for Scattered Prisms and gold.





The quality of a gem can be improved by the Jeweler, in stages that range from Crude to Royal. The boosts to stats will differ according to the tier that the jewel is in when it is inserted into jewelry, weapons or equipment.

All levels of jewels can be made at the Jeweler, with the exception of the rare and legendary gems that require you to be at a sufficient level to qualify for them. In contrast to other upgrade components, jewels can be swapped by a different identical jewel without damaging it. You are able to replace the jewel only once in a piece of equipment.

Using more jewels in a movement will make it feel smoother and is usually performed for aesthetic reasons. The jewels can also enhance performance and create a harder surface than steel, so that the repeated friction from pivots do not cause damage to them.

A Glyphmaster can provide glyphs that can enhance the appearance of your weapons and shields. These provide a small bonus and can be swapped out at any time but aren't guaranteed to drop as loot. Glyphs can be upgraded like jewelry, at the Jeweler for gold, and also Scattered Crystal. Glyphs can also be removed from the inventory, and they are returned to the inventory. Other upgrade components, such as traits and aegis cannot be swapped out, and can only be retrieved using an Upgrade Extractor, or by salvaging them using a Black Lion Salvage Kit or an Ascended Salvage Tool.

Trinkets

Trinkets are a great way to provide your hero with many small, but valuable advantages. They can be obtained in the starter areas as loot, personal story rewards, from vendors, or by doing road interactions. They can be purchased from the Trading Post, or crafted by jewelers.

item upgrading that a player will be able to unlock is the cloak. It gives a small but valuable boost in speed of movement and the ability to escape. After that, they can acquire rings, amulets, and necklaces in a similar manner to the way a player obtains armor and weapons. Each piece of gear comes with one upgrade slot that can accept either a universal or a jewel upgrade. Universal upgrades are smaller and can be used on any device. Jewels cannot be upgraded or replaced and are only compatible with certain trinkets.

These trinkets provide additional buffs and abilities that are active even when the hero isn't engaged in combat. This allows the hero to be more effective while inactive and also helps fill in the void of a strong team or any slots from the talent tree that normally are filled with the hero's best statistics.

A good general rule of thumb for trinket upgrades is to prioritize BiS (Best-in-Slot) items that you won't be replacing soon, followed by items with desirable stats but less important than the iLevel of the item being upgraded. This is especially true when you want to upgrade multiple stats on an item. It's best to upgrade just one crucial stat than two less important ones.

Jungle players usually upgrade their yellow trinkets to a red trinket at the beginning of the game. Mid and top players on the other hand, will choose a green or a pink ward, based on the game's matchup. These choices will have a major impact on the hero's ability to control his map.

In addition to the items mentioned above, players will also find other trinkets in the form of trophies and rewards throughout the game. These can be obtained through completing certain milestones within the story. For example, completing the main quest of a chapter or beating the boss. item upgrade can be seen by selecting the appropriate achievement from the reward tab of the hero menu.
