Path of Exile Item Upgrades

Item upgrades are a common and crucial method to enhance the performance of many items in Path of Exile. They can provide extra damage, AD or even affixes.

Rare-grade equipment can be superior to modernized Common or Magic equipment due to their higher requirements.

Armor

Armor upgrades are a type of upgrade that can be used on armor and weapon items. They improve the stats of whatever item they are attached to. Armor upgrades are available in the world of the game and are available from Blacksmiths on bonfires. Alternately, they can be rescued from items with upgrade components within them by using an expert or greater salvage kit.

The amount of damage an armored piece or weapon is able to absorb is dependent on the level of its upgrades. The upgrade of an armor piece to maximum upgrade level will boost its damage absorption. But, it's important to note that this will also increase its weight, which will cause it to weigh more than before.

There are a few different kinds of armor upgrades available in the game and they all have different effects. Some upgrades give armor a greater number of health points, while others make it lighter and more powerful. The type of armor upgrade that an item upgrade can get will be indicated by the name of the upgrade, as illustrated in the table below.

Certain upgrades require magic or a hybrid technology and magic, which is shown by the "Magic" and "Hybrids" entries in the table. Furthermore, some upgrades require a fee to use, which is shown by an "Charges" entry in the table below. These charges are either constantly updated or never expire depending on the upgrade.

Iron Ore is the cheapest way to improve your armor. You can find it by exploring and looting small chests. Titanium is more expensive however it is obtainable through smelters in Orgrimmar and Stormwind City. Certain upgrades, such as the Reforge and the Hot Potato Books, can only be applied to higher level armor pieces. These upgrades can provide significant improvement in performance and are worth the investment, particularly for one-handed weapons.

The player must be aware that upgrading a piece to its maximum upgrade level will increase its defense value. However, it will also reduce its agility and speed. It is not recommended to upgrade armor beyond +9. The added defense usually isn't worth the weight and power costs of the upgrades.

Weapons

Weapon upgrades give players the ability to improve certain aspects of their weapon. Upgrades can improve the accuracy of a rifle, or the damage caused by shotgun shells. Certain weapons also come with upgrades that enhance their inherent characteristics. Frictionless materials (improves stability, and reduces weapon overheating), and Kinetic coils (increases the projectile's speed to cause more damage) are two examples.

Most weapon upgrades require one of three Power Dices, a different amount of Minerals and Erons and a whetblade for applying. These 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 cost that is based on a specific number of Bars. The more bars you need to complete an upgrade the higher the level. The cost of upgrades will be lower if have more than one of the upgrade materials.

In Chapter 2: Season 5, the ways to upgrade your weapon and equipment sets has changed a bit. Prior to Chapter 2: Season 5 you could upgrade your weapon and equipment by paying a certain amount of Bars. You could do this until the weapon or equipment reached its maximum upgrade level, at which point the upgrades would reset.

You can still do this but the process is high on RNG and low on agency. Instead, you're much better off going to the stores and buying equipment that has low upgrade levels but good base scores and stat distributions. They will also be able to give you the most prestigious benefits and blessings.

Most players will want to prioritize upgrades to the weapons they are most likely to use to allow them to progress faster. In addition to these players, they should think about upgrading the weapons favored by their teammates to make them more powerful as well. For instance, Shepard should consider upgrading the M92F to unlock the Beretta M93R, which will make it more useful when paired with biotic specialists like Grunt and Tali.

Jewels

Jewels are utilized in the armor's sockets and weapons, increasing the power of a character and bringing about secondary effects. Jewelry crafting is the process of making them, in which you combine the gemstone with specific reagents in a jewelry table. The higher the quality of the jewel the better the secondary effect. These reagents can be obtained 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 Jeweler can enhance the quality of a gem in stages ranging from Crude up to Royal. The stat boosts can vary depending on the level the jewel is at when it's inserted into jewelry, weapons or gear.

All levels of jewels are crafted at the Jeweler and Jeweler's Workshop, with the exception of the rare and legendary jewels that require you to be at a certain level to obtain the privilege of having them. Like other upgrade components jewels can be swapped out by a different jewel of the same type without destroying the original one. You are able to replace the jewel once within an item upgrader mod of equipment.

Utilizing more jewels in a movement will make it feel smoother and is typically used to enhance the aesthetics of the movement. In addition to improving performance, the jewels also create a surface that is harder than metal, so repeated friction from pivots won't damage them as easily.

A Glyphmaster can provide glyphs to enhance the look of your shields and weapons. These glyphs give a slight boost and can be freely swapped, but they're not guaranteed to appear as loot. Glyphs, just like jewelry, can be upgraded at the Jeweler in exchange for Scattered Crystals and gold. Glyphs can also be removed, which returns them to the inventory. Other upgrade components, like traits and aegis cannot be swapped out, and are only recoverable by using an Upgrade Extractor or salvaging them using the Black Lion Salvage Kit or an Ascended Salvage Tool.

Trinkets

Trinkets can provide your hero with a variety of small, but beneficial, benefits. They are available in the start-up area as loot or personal story rewards. They are also available from vendors and by completing road interaction. They can be found on the Trading Post, or crafted by jewelers.

The first trinket players will be able to unlock is the cloak. It provides a tiny, but useful bonus in movement speed and evasion. Then, they can purchase amulets, rings and necklaces in the same way to how a player acquires armor and weapons. Every piece of equipment has a slot for an upgrade that is either universal or jewel. Universal upgrades are smaller and can be utilized on any device. Jewels cannot be upgraded or replaced and only work with certain trinkets.

These trinkets can also grant bonuses and abilities that are active whenever the hero is not fighting. This lets a hero be more efficient when they are not active. It can also compensate for the absence of good slots in the team or talent tree that are normally filled by the hero's optimal stats.

As a general rule trinket upgrades should be a priority BiS (Best in Slot) items you won't replace in the near future. Also, consider items that have desirable statistics aren't as important as the iLevel of the item level upgrade that is to be upgraded. This is especially true when you are looking to upgrade items multiple statistics on an item upgrader kit. It is more beneficial to upgrade a single important stat instead of two subpar ones.

In the beginning of the game, junglers will usually want to upgrade their trinket to a red in the middle and top players typically choose either a pink or green ward (depending on the game's matchup). These choices will have an impact on the ability of a hero to control the map.

In addition to the items listed above, players will also find other trinkets in the form of trophies and rewards throughout the game. They can be obtained through completing certain milestones within the story. For instance, completing a chapter’s main quest or defeating an opponent. You can view them by selecting the achievement in the reward section of the hero's menu.
