Path of Exile Item Upgrading Players can upgrade their weapons and equipment by adding new affixes. They can also improve its stats base or add additional benefits. To upgrade items, players must have the item in their inventory, and also access the kiln. Typically items that have weak bases (like rings) can be upgraded to a stronger base while items with strong bases such as eth titans aren't affected significantly in their stats after being upgraded. Upgrade components Upgrade components can be slotted into trinkets, weapons, armor and gathering tools, giving an added bonus or impact when the equipment is in use. They can be bought from vendors, found as loot gathered by enemies or received from missions and chests. Certain upgrades also have cosmetic effects. Most upgrades require the equipment to be above a certain level before they can be upgraded. To upgrade a weapon, armor or other item in the game, players will have to select it and then click on the Upgrade button in the toolbar. This will display on the right-hand side of the screen a preview of the expected upgrade statistics and the necessary component or materials. There are three types of upgrade components: 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 gear that is ascended and legendary equipment, are the same as jewels but have higher bonuses and cannot be placed in any other kind of equipment. Suffix upgrades, which can be placed in gathering tools, will include their name at the end of the name of the item they are attached to, for instance adding the word Glyph to a Staff Wrapping of Minor Vigor will change it to a Canthan Staff Wrapping of Minor Vigor. If an individual upgrades a gathering tool and replaces the glyphs with a different one the old one will be returned to their inventory. However, replacing any other upgrade component will destroy it, except for inscribed glyphs that can be swapped. Leveling Path of Exile's upgrade system differs from previous versions in some important ways. Gear is now classified into tracks and each item is able to be upgraded a certain number of times before it's “leveled out.” The cost of upgrading increases with each level, but the materials required for upgrades do not. This allows players to focus their efforts on a select few items and maximize the effect of these items, rather than spreading upgrade costs over multiple pieces. This will allow the item to receive upgraded components, and have a greater chance of success. This bonus is known as Artisan’s Energy and it resets to 0 if an upgrade fails or increases if the upgrade succeeds. Once a piece is upgraded to its maximum level, it can receive affixes to boost its attributes. The number of affixes available will depend on the type of item it is. For example an uncommon or unique weapon with a base that is standard will have only two affixes, whereas a legend armor will have eight affixes. Each upgrade step will require an amount of Flightstones and crests to complete based on the item's current level and the slot it's in. In general, weapons will require more Flightstones to upgrade than other types of equipment. If an item does not reach its maximum level, the NPC offers the player the choice to transfer it to a new character and re-infuse the item with a different set or upgrades. This process can take between one and two hours and cost the same amount of materials. However it has a lower rate of success. Engineers will use a level in order to compare the height of the building with an established point, such as an existing benchmark. This is referred to as a “level-loop.” It involves taking readings using the backsight rod and the level before turning the level and making the foresight rod reading. This method ensures that structures are built to a high degree of precision and security. Rerolling Rerolling is the process of changing the upgrade components of an item. It is a crucial aspect of the game and can dramatically enhance an item's strength, damage, or other characteristics. You can do this through the item menu or by pressing the Reroll button whenever you upgrade an item. Rerolling is costly and should only be performed in the rarest of circumstances. The game lets players recycle upgraded items, which are used to acquire Reroll tokens. These tokens can be used to upgrade the original item or another similar item. Recyclable items come with a level gauge that shows how much of the upgrade gauge is filled. The amount of level that has been filled is based on the rarity and the upgrade cost of the item. In the past, some upgrade item s had priority affixes which made them easier to roll for than others. This meant that you'd receive the stats that mattered most to your build often than others. These included things like the armor's total armor, thorns and duration reduction stats that are controlled or the weapon's bonus attack speed and critical strike chance. This has changed since the latest patch. Priority affixes are no longer required and all upgrades will have the same chance of rolling for all stats. This can be either good or bad, depending on what you're looking to get from your equipment. Each upgraded item could come with a unique fixed-value bonus that boosts its strength by a certain percentage. These bonuses are offered into the usual affixes. The more you improve an item, the greater your chance of getting a unique bonus. The game also comes with number sets that grant an extra bonus when three or four upgraded items from the set are installed on an item. This is a good way to give the character more power without spending a ton of money. Many players are known to reroll their weapons and equipment, especially in the early stages. This is because rerolling can give players a faster route to becoming a strong character and allows them to climb higher levels and progress in the game faster. Sets Sets are collections that can be set up in different ways. They can be different sizes, have none of the elements, or contain one element. They can be used for organizing data or sorting information. They are also useful in analyzing patterns. Sets can be categorized in many ways, such as by size and shape. The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom provides a wide range of upgradeable set items. Certain items are worth upgrading, while others aren't. item upgrading are worthwhile for armor sets that offer high defense values and set bonuses. However, most upgrades to weapons don't improve the item's stats much as compared to their counterparts in purple. This makes them less attractive to upgrade if you own many weapons or armor pieces already. Set items can be upgraded to include unique procs that are useful for certain builds. This is evident in Aldur's Advance Boots and Guillaume's Face. Both were upgraded from Exceptional Winged Helm and Exceptional Mirrored Boots respectively, boosting their defense by 217 to 321 (Strength requirement and Level requirement were increased as well). Upgrades can also be made to bring certain items to the level of the tiers. The Immortal King Set, for instance, is a huge range of levels ranging from 29 to 75. Upgrades to lower-level items can increase their defense and make them more competitive when it comes to damage. To see if an item is worth upgrading, players can click the Upgrade button on the character screen. It will show the item's characteristics, as well as the items needed to upgrade it. To upgrade the No-mouth Face for example, 1.1K Scrap Materials will be required, as well as 250 Enchanted Dust and 5 Glowing Shards. Alternately, players can go to the Leaderboard or Golden vendor in Cyrodiil to check the requirements for upgrading specific items. In general, weapons and jewelry offer better trade value when fully upgraded than armor. Upgrades to gold are recommended for weapons that have weapons-damage or spell glyphs. This will result in a significant increase in their performance. This will also boost the defense value of armor with an updated appearance.
