Path of Exile Item Upgrades The performance of a variety of Path of Exile items can be improved by upgrading the performance of them They can be a fantastic source of extra damage or more AD or even more attachments Raregrade equipment is often superior to modernized Common or Magic equipment due to their high demands Armor Armor upgrades can be applied to both armor and weapon items They increase the effectiveness of the item they are attached to Armor upgrades can be found in the games world and can be purchased from Blacksmiths at any bonfire They can also be salvaged using an expert or higher salvage kit to recover upgrade components from items The amount of damage that a piece of armor or weapon is able to absorb is dependent on the degree of upgrades The upgrade of an armor piece to the highest upgrade level will increase its damage absorption It is important to keep in mind that this will increase the weight of the armor which means it must be more heavy There are several different types of armor upgrades available in the game Each has a different effect For example some upgrades 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 will receive will be identified 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 Some upgrades also require charges in order to be used These are identified as Charges entries in the table These charges are either constantly updated or never expire depending on the upgrade Iron Ore is the cheapest way to upgrade your armor You can locate it by exploring and looting small loot 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 high level armor pieces These upgrades can provide a significant boost to performance and are worth the investment especially for 1handed weapons Upgrading a piece of armor to its maximum upgrade level will significantly increase its defense capabilities however the user must be aware that putting more weight on it will dramatically reduce its speed and agility It is not recommended to upgrade armor past 9 The defensive boost gained generally isnt worth the weight and power expenses of the upgrades Weapons Weapon upgrades let players increase the effectiveness of specific aspects of a weapon Upgrades can improve the accuracy of a rifle or the damage caused by shotgun shells Certain firearms also have upgrades that improve their innate capabilities These include Frictionless Materials improves stability and minimizes weapon overheating and Kinetic Coils increases projectile acceleration for more damage The majority of upgrades to weapons require three Power Dices a different amount of Minerals and Erons and a whetblade These 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 price that is based on a specific number of Bars The higher the upgrade level the more bars are required to complete it If you have multiple upgrade materials The cost of upgrading will be less 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 and equipment by paying a specific 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 This is still possible but it depends heavily on RNG You should consider buying equipment with low upgrade levels and high base scores and stat distributions These gears have a greater chance of giving you the highest tier advantages and benefits Most players will want to make the most of upgrades to weapons they use most frequently to allow them to progress quicker In addition players should consider upgrading the weapons they use with their teammates to increase their power as well For instance Shepard should consider upgrading the M92F to unlock the Beretta M93R which will make it more useful when paired with biotech specialists such as Grunt and Tali Jewels Jewels are placed in the sockets of armor and weapons enhancing a stat and providing secondary effects They can be created through an process known as jewelry crafting in which you combine a gemstone and several reagents at a jewelry table The higher the level of the gem the greater the secondary effect These reagents are available from Treasure Goblins and World Bosses in the world or through finding Legendary Gear You can also purchase them from The Jeweler for gold and a Scattered Prism The Jeweler can enhance the quality of gemstones in stages ranging from Crude up to Royal The stat boosts can vary depending on the tier the jewel is at when its inserted into jewelry weapons or equipment The Jeweler can craft all kinds of gems with the exception of rare and legendary ones which you must attain an appropriate level to obtain Jewels can be substituted with another one without damaging the original You can only replace the gem once in an item of equipment The use of more jewels in the movement can make it feel more comfortable and is often done to enhance the aesthetics of the movement Jewels also enhance performance and create a harder surface than steel so that the repeated friction from pivots does not cause damage to the movement In addition to the upgrades mentioned above players can also acquire glyphs for their shields and weapons from a Glyphmaster They offer a small benefit and can be swapped out at any time however they arent guaranteed to drop as loot Glyphs can be upgraded as jewelry by visiting the Jeweler for gold and also a scattered Crystal Glyphs can also be removed from the inventory and they are 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 the Black Lion Salvage Kit or Ascended Salvage Tool Trinkets Trinkets can be used to give your character many small but beneficial advantages They can be acquired starting in the areas of starting as loot personal story rewards from vendors or by performing road interactions They can also be made by jewelers and found or purchased at the Trading Post The first trinket players can unlock is the cloak It gives a small but beneficial boost in speed of movement and evasion Then they can purchase amulets rings and necklaces in a similar fashion to how the player can acquire weapons and armor Each piece of equipment comes with a slot for an upgrade that is either universal or jewel Universal upgrades are smaller and can be used on any equipment Jewels cannot be upgraded or replaced and are only compatible with certain trinkets These trinkets also provide additional buffs and skills that remain active when the hero is not fighting item upgrader allows the hero to be more effective when not active and may also help make up for a lack of a strong team or any slots in the talent tree that would normally be filled with heros ideal stats A good guideline for trinket upgrades is to prioritize BiS BestinSlot items that you will not replace soon followed by 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 that you wish to upgrade as its often more beneficial to upgrade one crucial stat than two subpar ones In the beginning of the game players who are in the jungle will typically want to upgrade their trinket to a red while top and mid players will usually opt for either a pink or green ward depending on the games matchup These choices will have a major impact on the heros map control abilities In addition to the items mentioned above players can also find other trinkets in the form of rewards and trophies throughout the game These can be earned by completing certain milestones in the story for instance the main quest of a chapter or destroying a boss You can check them out by selecting the achievement in the reward section of the heros menu
