Path of Exile Item Upgrades The performance of many Path of Exile items can be improved by upgrading the performance of them They can also provide additional damage AD or even affixes In most cases however upgraded Common and Magic gear is beaten out by Raregrade gear due to their high requirements Armor Armor upgrades can be applied to both armor and weapon items They boost the performance of the item that they are attached to Armor upgrades are available in the world of games and can be purchased from Blacksmiths at bonfires Alternately they can be salvaged from items with upgrade components inside them using a specialist or more powerful salvage kit The level of an armors or weapons upgrade determines the amount of damage it will absorb The ability to absorb damage of a piece armor will increase when it is upgraded to the highest upgrade level It is important to note that this will increase the weight of the armor so it must be heavier There are a variety of armor upgrades that are available in the game Each one has a distinct impact For instance some upgrades give the armor a certain amount of health points while others will make it lighter and stronger The kind of armor upgrade an item will receive is indicated by the name of the upgrade as illustrated in the table below Some of the upgrades also require magic or a hybrid technology and magic as identified by the Magic and Hybrids entries in the table Some upgrades also require charges to use which are indicated by an Charges entry in the table below The charges associated with these upgrades refresh daily or never expire depending on the upgrade Iron Ore is the cheapest way to improve your armor You can locate it by exploring and looting small loot chests Titanium is more expensive however it is available from the smelters in Orgrimmar and Stormwind City Certain upgrades such as the Reforge or the Hot Potato Books can only be applied to armor pieces of the highest level These upgrades can provide a significant improvement in performance and are worth the investment particularly for onehanded weapons The player should be aware that upgrading a piece to its maximum upgrade level will boost its defense However it will also affect the speed and agility of the piece It is not recommended to upgrade armor beyond 9 item upgrading added defense generally isnt worth the weight and power costs of the upgrades Weapons Weapon upgrades allow players to increase the effectiveness of certain aspects of the weapon For instance an upgrade may increase the damage dealt by a shotguns shells or the accuracy of the rifle sniper Certain weapons come with special upgrades that enhance their inherent characteristics They include Frictionless Materials improves stability and minimizes overheating of the weapon and Kinetic Coils increases projectile acceleration for more damage Most weapon upgrades require three Power Dices a different amount of Minerals and Erons and a whetblade They can be obtained by completing Side Quests or by killing a certain number of bosses and monsters Upgrading a Weapon Equipment Set piece or Whetblade requires visiting the NPC Armor Boboko in Central Flarine and paying her an upgrade fee of a set number of Bars The higher the upgrade level the higher the number of bars you will need to complete 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 equipment and weapon sets has changed a bit Before you could go to an Upgrade Bench and pay a certain number of Bars to upgrade your equipment or weapon to an increased quality You could do this until your weapon or equipment reached its maximum upgrade level and at that point the upgrades would reset Its possible but it depends heavily on RNG Youre better off buying gear with low levels of upgrade but with high base scores and stat distributions These will then be able to give you the most prestigious benefits and blessings The majority of players will make the most of upgrades to weapons they most often use to make sure they are able to level up faster In addition players should consider upgrading the weapons they use with their squadmates to increase their power as well For instance Shepard should consider upgrading the M92F to unlock the Beretta M93R which will increase its utility when paired with biotech specialists such as Grunt and Tali Jewels Jewels can be used to improve the effectiveness of a skill or provide additional effects in weapons and armor Jewelry crafting is the process of making them in which you combine gemstones with specific reagents on a table The higher the level of the gemstone the better the secondary effect These reagents can be found around the world from Treasure Goblins World Bosses and sometimes by salvaging Legendary gear You can also purchase them from The Jeweler for gold and a Scattered Prism The quality of a jewel can be improved at the Jeweler in stages that range from Crude to Royal Based on the tier of the gem it will give different stat boost when slotted into weapons equipment and jewelry The Jeweler can create all kinds of gems except for the rare and legendary ones which you must be at certain levels to gain Like other upgrade components jewels are able to be swapped with a jewel of the same kind without damaging the original one However you can only swap out a jewel in an equipment piece only once It is normal to use more jewelry to enhance the appearance of The jewels also improve performance and create an outer layer that is more durable than steel so that repeated friction caused by pivots does not cause damage to the movement In addition to the abovementioned upgrades the player can also get glyphs for their weapons and shields from a Glyphmaster These glyphs provide a small boost in power and can be swapped but they are not guaranteed to appear as loot Glyphs are like jewelry and can be upgraded by the Jeweler in exchange for Scattered Crystals and gold Glyphs can also be removed and returned to the inventory Other upgrade components such as traits or aegis cant be exchanged and can only be found by using an Upgrade extractor or salvaging using the Black Lion Salvage Kit or an Ascended Salvage Trinkets Trinkets can give your character many small but beneficial advantages They can be obtained in the starter areas as loot or personal story rewards from vendors and by doing road interactions They may also be crafted by jewelers and found or purchased at the Trading Post The first trinket a player will unlock is the cloak It grants a small but beneficial boost in speed of movement and the ability to evade After that theyll be able to get amulets rings and necklaces in the same manner to the way a player acquires armor and weapons Each piece of equipment comes with an upgrade slot that is either universal or jewel Universal upgrades are smaller and can be utilized on any device Jewels are not upgradeable or replaced and are only compatible with certain trinkets These trinkets provide additional buffs and abilities that are active even when the hero isnt in combat This allows the hero to be more efficient when they are not active It can also make up for the lack of a excellent slot in the talent tree or team which would normally be filled by the heros optimal stats In general trinket upgrades should prioritize BiS Best in Slot items that you arent likely to replace in the near future Then you should consider any items with desirable stats that are less significant than the iLevel for the item that is to be upgraded This is especially true if you are looking to upgrade multiple stats on an item Its best to upgrade just one crucial stat rather than two suboptimal ones Jungle players often upgrade their yellow trinket to a red one prior to the start of the game Mid and top players on the other hand will choose a green or a pink ward based on the matchup These choices will have a major impact on the heros ability to control his map In addition to the items mentioned above players can also find other trinkets in the form of trophies and rewards throughout the game These can be obtained by completing certain milestones within the story For instance completing a chapters main quest or defeating a boss These can be viewed by selecting the relevant achievement in the reward tab of the hero menu
