Path of Exile Item UpgradesThe performance of many Path of Exile items can be improved by upgrading their performance. They can also provide additional damage, AD or even affixes.Rare-grade equipment is often superior to modernized Common or Magic gear due to their higher requirements.ArmorArmor upgrades are a form of upgrade that can be used on weapon and armor items. They boost the performance of the item they are attached to. Armor upgrades can be found in the world of the game and can be purchased from Blacksmiths at any bonfire. They can also be salvaged by using a professional or higher salvage kits to retrieve upgrade components from items.The level of an armor's or weapon's upgrade determines the amount of damage it is able to take on. Upgrading a piece of armor to the highest upgrade level will boost its damage absorption. It's important to remember that this will increase the weight of the armor, which means it must be heavier.There are several types of armor upgrades available in the game and they all have different effects. For instance, certain upgrades will grant the armor a certain amount of additional health points, while others will make it lighter and stronger. The name of the armor upgrade will indicate the kind of upgrade the item can receive, as shown below.Some of the upgrades also require magic or a hybrid technology and magic, which is identified by the "Magic" and "Hybrids" entries in the table below. Some upgrades also require a fee to use, and are shown by the "Charges" entry in the table below. These charges are either constantly updated or never expire depending on the upgrade.Iron Ore is the cheapest option to upgrade your armor. It can be found by exploring and looting small treasure chests. Titanium is more expensive but is readily available in the smelters of Orgrimmar and Stormwind City. Certain upgrades, such as the Reforge or the Hot Potato Books can only be used on armor pieces that are of high-level. These upgrades can give a significant improvements in stats and are well worth the cost.The player should be aware that upgrading a piece up to the maximum upgrade level will boost its defense. However, it will also affect its agility and its speed. Therefore, it is typically not recommended to upgrade the majority of armor pieces that are higher than +9 since the added defense is generally not worth the additional weight and power costs of the improvements required.WeaponsWeapon upgrades allow players to increase the effectiveness of certain aspects of a weapon. Upgrades can boost the accuracy of a rifle, or the damage that shotgun shells cause. Some weapons also have special upgrades that improve their innate capabilities. They include Frictionless Materials (improves stability and minimizes overheating of the weapon) and Kinetic Coils (increases the speed of projectiles to cause more damage).Most weapon upgrades require three Power Dices, a different amount of Minerals and Erons, and a whetblade. These are obtained through either doing side quests, or killing a certain number 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 cost of a set number of Bars. The more bars required to complete an upgrade, the more expensive the upgrade. The cost of upgrades will be less if you have more than one of the relevant upgrade materials.In Chapter 2: Season 5 the way you upgrade your weapon and sets has changed. Prior to Chapter 2 Season 5, you could upgrade your weapon or equipment by paying a certain amount of Bars. You could do this until your weapon or equipment reached its maximum upgrade level and at that point, the upgrades would reset.You can still do this but the process is high on RNG and low on agency. You're better off buying gear with minimal upgrade levels but with high base scores and stat distributions. They will also have a better chance of bringing you the best tier of bonuses and blessings.Most players will want to prioritize upgrades to the weapons they are most likely to use to help them level up faster. Additionally players, they should think about upgrading the weapons that are most popular with their squadmates to increase their power and effective. Shepard, for example should upgrade his M92F to unlock the Beretta M93R. This will make the weapon more useful when used in conjunction with biotic specialists like Grunt and Tali.JewelsJewels are utilized in the armor's sockets and weapons, increasing a stat and providing secondary effects. Jewelry crafting is the process of making them, in which you combine a gemstone with a number specific reagents on a jewelry table. The higher the grade of the gemstone is, the greater its secondary effect. These reagents can be found around the world from Treasure Goblins, World Bosses and sometimes by salvaging Legendary equipment. You can also buy them from The Jeweler in exchange for gold and Scattered Prisms.The quality of a jewel can be improved upon by the Jeweler, in stages that vary from Crude to Royal. Based on the level of the gem it will give different stat boosts when it is inserted into weapons, gear and jewelry.The Jeweler can create all tiers of gems, except for the rare and legendary ones that you must be at an appropriate level to obtain. Jewels can be substituted with another jewel without destroying the original. You are able to replace the jewel once within an item of equipment.It is typical to use more jewelry for aesthetic reasons. Apart from improving performance, the jewels create an area that is stronger than steel, so the repeated friction from pivots won't cause damage as easily.In addition to the above upgrades additionally, players can get glyphs for their shields and weapons from a Glyphmaster. They offer a small benefit and can be swapped freely, but are not guaranteed to drop as loot. Glyphs are like jewelry and can be upgraded by the Jeweler to exchange Scattered Crystals and gold. Glyphs may also be removed and returned to the inventory. Other upgrade components, such as traits or aegis cannot be swapped, and can only be recovered by using an Upgrade extractor or salvaging with Black Lion Salvage Kit, or Ascended Salvage.TrinketsTrinkets are items of equipment that offer a wide range of tiny but valuable benefits to your hero. They are available in the starting area as rewards for personal stories or loot. They can also be obtained from vendors as well as through the completion of road interactions. They may also be crafted by jewelers, and found or purchased from the Trading Post.The first trinket that a player will be able to unlock is the cloak. It grants a small but beneficial boost in movement speed and evasion. The player can then collect rings, amulets and necklaces, in a similar way to how they acquired weapons and armor. Each piece of equipment has a slot for an upgrade that can be either universal or jewel. Universal upgrades are smaller and can be used on any equipment. Jewels are not upgradeable or replaced, and can only be used with certain trinkets.These trinkets grant additional buffs and abilities that are active when the hero isn't engaged in combat. This allows a hero to become more efficient even when not in combat. It can also compensate for the absence of excellent slots in the team or talent tree which are usually filled by a hero's top stats.A good rule of thumb for trinket upgrades is to prioritize BiS (Best-in-Slot) items that you aren't planning to replace in the near future, then any items with desirable stats, but less important than the iLevel of the item being upgraded. This is especially true when you are looking to upgrade multiple statistics on an item. item upgrader 's more beneficial to upgrade a single important stat than two less important ones.Jungle players usually upgrade their yellow trinket to a red one at the start of the game. Top and mid players however will pick either a pink or green ward, depending on the matchup. These choices can impact the ability of a hero to control the map.In addition to the items mentioned above, players will also find other trinkets in the form trophies and rewards throughout the game. These can be earned through completing certain milestones in the story, like completing a chapter's main quest or destroying a boss. You can see them by selecting the achievement from the reward section of the hero's menu.
