Path of Exile Item UpgradesItem upgrades are a common and essential way to boost the performance of a variety of items in Path of Exile. They can be a fantastic source of additional damage, more AD or even more affixes.Rare-grade equipment can be superior to modernized Common or Magic equipment due to their higher requirements.ArmorArmor upgrades can be applied to both armor and weapon items. They boost the stats of whatever item they are connected to. Upgrades to armor can be found in the world of games and purchased from Blacksmiths on bonfires. They can also be salvaged using a specialist or higher salvage kits to recover upgrades from the items.The level of an armor's or weapon's upgrade determines the amount of damage it can take on. A piece of armor upgraded to its highest upgrade level will increase its ability to absorb damage. It's important to remember that this will increase the weight of the armor, which means it must be heavier.There are several different types of armor upgrades that are available in the game. Each one has a distinct impact. For instance, certain upgrades will give the armor a certain amount of health points while others will make it stronger and lighter. The type of armor upgrade that an item can receive is indicated by the name of the upgrade, as illustrated in the table below.Certain upgrades require magic or a combination of technology and magic, as identified by the "Magic" and "Hybrids" entries in the table. Furthermore, some upgrades require a fee to use, which are identified by the "Charges" entry in the table below. These charges are updated daily or never expire based on the upgrade.Iron Ore is the cheapest method to upgrade your armor. You can find it by exploring and looting small loot chests. Titanium is more costly, however, it is available at the smelters in Orgrimmar and Stormwind City. Some upgrades, like the Reforge or the Hot Potato Books can only be applied to high-level armor pieces. These upgrades can provide significant boost in stats, and are definitely worth the investment.Upgrading a piece of armor to max upgrade level will dramatically increase its defense capabilities however, the user must be aware that putting more weight on it will dramatically reduce its speed and agility. This is why it is typically not recommended to upgrade most armor pieces beyond +9, since the added defense is typically not worth the weight and power costs of the improvements required.WeaponsWeapon upgrades give players to enhance certain aspects of their weapon. For item upgrader , an upgrade may increase the damage dealt by shotgun shells or the accuracy of the sniper rifle. Certain weapons also come with upgrades that enhance their inherent qualities. These include Frictionless Materials (improves stability and decreases the chance of the risk of overheating) and Kinetic Coils (increases the velocity of projectiles for greater damage).The majority of weapon upgrades require the use of a whetblade, or one of the three Power Dices and a different amount Minerals and Erons. These can be obtained by finishing side quests, killing a certain number of monsters or bosses, or from the Weapon Upgrade NPC 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 you need to complete an upgrade the higher the level. The cost of upgrades will be lower if you have more than one of the upgrade materials.In Chapter 2: Season 5, the way you upgrade your weapon and equipment sets changed a little. Prior to Chapter 2 Season 5 you could upgrade your weapon and equipment by paying a specific amount of Bars. You could do this until your weapon or equipment reached its maximum upgrade level, at which point the upgrades would be reset.This is still possible, but it depends heavily on RNG. Instead, you're better off visiting stores and buying gear with low upgrade levels, but excellent base scores and stat distributions. These will then have a chance at gaining you the best tier of bonuses and blessings.Most players will want to prioritize upgrades to the weapons they use most frequently to allow them to progress faster. Players should also upgrade the weapons that their squadmates use to make them stronger. Shepard, for example, should upgrade the M92F so that he can unlock the Beretta M93R. This will make the weapon more effective when accompanied with biotic specialists such as Grunt and Tali.JewelsJewels can be used to boost the effectiveness of a skill or provide additional effects in armor and weapons. Jewelry crafting is the process of making them, in which you combine a gemstone with a number specific reagents on a table. The higher the quality of the gem, the greater the secondary effect. These reagents are obtained in the world through Treasure Goblins, World Bosses and sometimes by salvaging Legendary gear. You can also buy them from The Jeweler in exchange for gold and Scattered Prisms.The quality of a jewel can be improved at the Jeweler in stages that range from Crude to Royal. The stat boosts can vary depending on the level the jewel is at when it's slotted into jewelry, weapons, or equipment.All kinds of jewels can be crafted at the Jeweler, with the exception of the rare and legendary jewels which require you to be at a high enough level to be able to get the privilege of having them. Unlike other upgrade components, jewels can be swapped with another jewel of the same kind without damaging it. You can only replace the jewel once within an item of equipment.Utilizing more jewels in a movement will make it feel smoother, and is often done for aesthetic reasons. The jewels can also enhance performance and create a surface harder than steel so that repeated friction from pivots does not cause damage to them.In addition to the above-mentioned upgrades additionally, players can acquire glyphs for their weapons and shields from a Glyphmaster. These provide a small bonus and can be swapped out at any time but aren't guaranteed to drop as loot. Glyphs are like jewelry and can be upgraded by the Jeweler in exchange for gold and Scattered Crystals. Glyphs can also be taken out and returned to the inventory. Other upgrade components, such as traits and aegis, are not swappable, and are only recoverable by using an Upgrade Extractor or salvaging them using a Black Lion Salvage Kit or an Ascended Salvage Tool.TrinketsTrinkets are a great way to give your character a variety of small, but beneficial, advantages. They are available in the starting area as loot or personal story rewards. They can also be obtained from vendors and by completing road interaction. They can also be made by jewelers, and then found or purchased from the Trading Post.The first trinkets a player unlocks will be the cloak, which gives an unimportant but beneficial boost in speed of movement and evasion. The player will then be able to acquire rings, amulets and necklaces, in a similar way as they did with weapons and armor. Each piece of equipment has one upgrade slot that can accommodate either a universal or jewel upgrade. Universal upgrades offer smaller bonuses and can be placed in any kind of equipment while jewelry cannot be changed 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 lets the hero be more effective when not active and may also help to compensate for the absence of a strong team or the absence of any slots from the talent tree that would normally be filled with hero's ideal stats.A good rule of thumb for trinket upgrades is to prioritize BiS (Best-in-Slot) items that you will not replace soon, followed by any items with desirable stats but less important than the iLevel of the item being upgraded. This is especially true when an item has multiple stats you'd like to upgrade, as it's often better to upgrade a single important stat rather than two sub-optimal ones.Jungle players will often upgrade their yellow trinket to a red trinket at the start of the game. Mid and top players on the other hand, will choose either a pink or green ward, depending on the game's matchup. These choices can affect the ability of a hero to control the map.In addition to the items mentioned above, players will find other trinkets that form of trophies and rewards throughout the game. They can be obtained through completing certain milestones within the story. For instance, completing the main quest of a chapter or beating an opponent. You can check them out by clicking on the achievement in the reward section of the hero's menu.
