Path of Exile item upgrader mod upgrades - maps.google.hr's website -

Item upgrades are a common and essential way to boost the performance of numerous items in Path of Exile. They can also provide additional damage, AD or even affixes.

Often times however, upgraded Common and Magic gear is outclassed by Rare-grade gear due to their requirements.

Armor

Armor upgrades can be applied to both armor and weapon items. They boost the performance of the item they are connected to. Upgrades to armor can be found in the world of the game and purchased from Blacksmiths on bonfires. Alternatively, they can also be rescued from items with upgrade components inside them, with a professional or higher salvage kit.

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

There are a few different kinds of armor upgrades that are available in the game, and each one has distinct effects. For instance, certain upgrades give the armor a certain amount of additional health points, while others will make it lighter and stronger. The type of armor upgrade that an item upgrade can receive is indicated by the name of the upgrade, as shown in the table below.

Some of the upgrades are also magic or a mix of magic and technology, which is identified by the "Magic" or "Hybrid" entry in the table below. Some upgrades also require a charge to use, which is indicated by a "Charges" entry in the table below. These charges are either constantly updated or never expire depending on the upgrade.

The cheapest method to upgrade armor is by using Iron Ore, which can be obtained by exploring the environment and looting chests of minor loot. Titanium is more expensive, however, it is available at the smelters of Orgrimmar and Stormwind City. Some upgrades, such as the Reforge and the Hot Potato Books, can only be applied to high-level armor pieces. These upgrades can give significant improvements in stats and are a worthwhile cost, especially for single-handed weapons.

Upgrading a piece of armor to max upgrade level will greatly boost its defense however, the user must be aware that putting more weight on it will drastically reduce its agility and speed. Therefore, it is generally not recommended to upgrade the majority of armor pieces beyond +9, since the added defense is typically not worth the additional weight and power cost of the improvements required.

Weapons

Weapon upgrades give players the ability to improve certain aspects of their weapon. For instance an upgrade can improve the damage that is caused by the shells of a shotgun or the accuracy of a rifle sniper. Certain weapons also come with upgrades that improve their innate capabilities. These include Frictionless Materials (improves stability and reduces the risk of overheating of the weapon) and Kinetic Coils (increases projectile acceleration for more damage).

The majority of upgrades to weapons require the use of a whetblade, or one of the three Power Dices and a different amount of Minerals and Erons. They can be obtained by completing side quests or killing a certain amount of monsters and bosses.

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 higher the upgrade level, the higher the number of bars are required to complete it. If you have multiple upgrade materials The cost of upgrading will be lower.

In Chapter 2: Season 5 the way you upgrade weapon and equipment sets has changed. Prior to Chapter 2 Season 5, you could upgrade your weapon and equipment by paying a certain number of Bars. You could do this until you reached a max upgrade level of the equipment or weapon, after which the upgrades would be reset.

You can still do this, but the process is high on RNG and low on agency. You're better off buying gear with low levels of upgrade but with high base scores and stat distributions. These items will have a higher likelihood of granting you highest level of blessings and perks.

The majority of players will 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 boost their strength. Shepard for instance, should upgrade the M92F in order to unlock the Beretta M93R. This will increase the effectiveness of the weapon when used with biotic specialists such as Grunt and Tali.

Jewels

Jewels can be used to improve a stat or provide secondary effects in weapons and armor. Jewelry crafting is a method for making them, in which you combine gemstones with specific reagents on a jewelry table. The higher the tier of the gemstone, the better its secondary effect. These reagents can be obtained 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 gold and Scattered Prisms.

The quality of a diamond can be improved upon by the Jeweler, in stages that vary from Crude to Royal. Based on the level of the jewel it can provide different stat boosts when inserted into gear, weapons and jewelry.

The Jeweler can create all kinds of gems, apart from the rare and legendary ones, which you must attain an appropriate level to obtain. Jewels can be replaced with another jewel without damaging the original. However you can only swap out the jewels in a piece of equipment only once.

Using more jewels in a move can make it feel more comfortable and is usually used for aesthetic reasons. In addition to improving performance, the jewels create an area that is stronger than steel, so the repeated friction from pivots doesn't cause harm as easily.

A Glyphmaster can provide glyphs to enhance the look of your weapons and shields. These glyphs offer a small boost and can be traded, but they're not guaranteed to be available as loot. Glyphs, like jewelry, can be upgraded by the Jeweler in exchange for gold and Scattered Crystals. Glyphs can also be taken out, which returns them to the inventory. Other upgrade components like traits or aegis cannot be exchanged, and can only be recovered with an Upgrade extractor or salvaging with a Black Lion Salvage Kit, or Ascended Salvage.

Trinkets

Trinkets are small pieces of equipment that provide an array of small, but beneficial advantages to your hero. They can be acquired starting in the areas of starting as loot, personal story rewards, from vendors, and by completing road interactions. They can be found on the Trading Post, or crafted by jewelers.

The first trinket that a player will be able to unlock is the cloak. It gives a small but beneficial boost in speed of movement and the ability to evade. The player can then collect necklaces, amulets, and rings in a similar fashion similar to how they obtained weapons and armor. Each piece of equipment has an upgrade slot which can be universal or jewel. Universal upgrades are smaller and are able to be used on any device. Jewels are not upgradeable or replaced and only work with certain trinkets.

These trinkets can provide additional bonuses and abilities that are active even when the hero isn't engaged in combat. This allows a hero to be more efficient when they are not active. It can also make up for the lack of a excellent slots in the team or talent tree that are normally filled by the hero's best stats.

A good guideline for trinket upgrades is to prioritize BiS (Best item upgrade-in-Slot) items that you aren't planning to replace soon, followed by items with desirable stats, but less important than the iLevel of the item level upgrade being upgraded. This is especially true if an item has multiple stats you wish to upgrade, as it's often more beneficial to upgrade one important stat rather than two sub-optimal ones.

Jungle players will often upgrade their yellow trinkets to a red one prior to the beginning of the game. Mid and top players, on the other hand will pick a pink or green ward, depending 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 find other trinkets that form of trophies and rewards throughout the game. These can be obtained by completing certain milestones in the story. For example, completing a chapter’s main quest or beating a boss. You can view them by selecting the achievement from the reward section of the hero's menu.
