Path of Exile Item Upgrades Item upgrades are a common and essential way to boost the performance of many items in Path of Exile They can cause additional damage AD or even affixes Raregrade equipment is often superior to modernized Common or Magic gear due to their high demands Armor Armor upgrades can be applied to both armor and weapon items They improve the performance of the item they are attached to Armor upgrades can be found in the world of games and are available from Blacksmiths on bonfires Alternatively they can also be salvaged from items that have 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 take on The upgrade of an armor piece to its highest upgrade level will boost the damage it absorbs It is important to note 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 has a different impact For instance certain upgrades give the armor a certain number of health points while others make it lighter and stronger The name of the upgrade will indicate the type of upgrade an item can be given as illustrated below A few of the upgrades are also magic or a hybrid of technology and magic which is indicated by a Magic or Hybrid entry in the table below Furthermore some upgrades require charges to use and are shown by the Charges entry in the table below These charges are either continuously updated or never expire based on the upgrade Iron Ore is the cheapest option to improve your armor It can be found by exploring and looting small loot chests Titanium is more expensive however it is obtainable through smelters in Orgrimmar and Stormwind City Some upgrades like the Reforge or the Hot Potato Books can only be applied on armor pieces of the highest level These upgrades can give a significant boost in stats and are well worth the investment The process of upgrading an armor piece to the highest upgrade level will dramatically increase its defense values but the wearer must be aware that putting more weight on it can drastically decrease its agility and speed It is not recommended to upgrade armor above 9 The added defense usually isnt worth the weight and power cost of the upgrades Weapons Weapon upgrades allow players to enhance certain aspects of their weapon For instance an upgrade can enhance the damage caused by shotgun shells or the accuracy of the sniper rifle Certain firearms also have upgrades that improve their innate characteristics They include Frictionless Materials improves stability and minimizes overheating of the weapon and Kinetic Coils increases projectile acceleration for more damage Most upgrades for weapons require three Power Dices a different amount of Minerals and Erons and a whetblade These can be obtained by completing Side Quests killing a certain amount of bosses or monsters or by contacting the Weapon Upgrade NPC located in Central Flarine To upgrade a weapon equipment set piece or Whetblade you must visit the NPC Armor Boboko located in Central Flarine and pay her an upgrade fee that is a certain amount of Bars The higher the upgrade level the more bars you will need to complete the upgrade If you have multiple upgrade materials the cost of upgrading will be lower In Chapter 2 Season 5 the way you upgrade your equipment and weapon sets has changed a bit Prior to item upgrades Season 5 you could upgrade your weapon and equipment by paying a specific amount of Bars You could continue doing this until you reached the maximum upgrade level for the weapon or equipment after which the upgrades would reset You can still do this however the process is high on RNG and low on agency Youre better off buying gear with minimal upgrade levels but high base scores and stat distributions These gears have a greater chance of giving you the highest level of benefits and blessings The majority of players will prioritize upgrades to the weapons they use most frequently to help them level up quicker Additionally players should consider upgrading the weapons that are most popular with their teammates to increase their power as well For instance Shepard should consider upgrading the M92F to unlock the Beretta M93R to enhance its effectiveness when paired with experts in biotics like Grunt and Tali Jewels Jewels are used in the sockets of armor and weapons increasing a stat and providing secondary effects Jewelry crafting is a method of making them in which you combine gemstones with specific reagents on a table The higher the grade of the gem the greater the secondary effect These reagents can be obtained around the world from Treasure Goblins World Bosses and occasionally by salvaging Legendary equipment You can also purchase them from The Jeweler in exchange for Scattered Prisms and gold The Jeweler can enhance the quality of gemstones in stages ranging from Crude up to Royal The stat boosts can vary depending on the level the jewel is at when its slotted into jewelry weapons or other gear The Jeweler can create all kinds of gems with the exception of rare and legendary ones which you must be at an appropriate level to obtain In contrast to other upgrade components jewels can be swapped out by a different identical jewel without damaging the original one However it is only possible to replace one jewel in a piece of equipment only once Utilizing more jewels in the movement can make it feel more comfortable and is typically performed for aesthetic reasons Jewels also enhance performance and create an outer layer that is more durable than metal so that repeated friction caused by pivots does not cause damage to the movement In addition to the abovementioned upgrades players can also acquire glyphs for their shields and weapons from a Glyphmaster These glyphs offer a small boost in power and can be exchanged however theyre not guaranteed to be available as loot Glyphs are upgradeable like jewelry at the Jeweler for gold and a scattered Crystal 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 retrieved through an upgrade extractor or salvaging using the Black Lion Salvage Kit or Ascended Salvage Trinkets Trinkets are items of equipment that bestow an array of tiny but valuable advantages to your hero They are available in the startup area as loot or personal story rewards They are also available through vendors and after the completion of road interactions They can be found on the Trading Post or crafted by jewelers The first trinkets a player is able to unlock is the cloak which grants an unimportant but beneficial boost to movement speed and the ability to escape After that theyll be able to purchase amulets rings and necklaces in the same manner to the way a player can acquire armor and weapons Each piece of gear comes with one upgrade slot that can accommodate either a universal or a jewel upgrade Universal upgrades are smaller and are able to be used on any equipment Jewels cannot be upgraded or replaced and can only be used with certain trinkets These trinkets can provide additional bonuses and abilities that are active when the hero isnt engaged in combat This allows the hero to be more effective while inactive and can also help fill in the void of a solid team or the absence of any slots in the talent tree which would normally be filled with the heros ideal statistics A good general rule of thumb for trinket upgrades is to prioritize BiS BestinSlot items that you wont be replacing in the near future then any items with desirable stats but less important than the iLevel of the item to be upgraded This is particularly true if an item has multiple stats that you wish to upgrade as its usually better to upgrade a single 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 into a red one while top and mid players will usually opt for a green or pink ward depending 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 will discover other trinkets in form trophies and rewards throughout the game These can be obtained through completing certain milestones within the story For example completing a chapters main quest or defeating the boss You can check them out by selecting the achievement in the reward section of the heros menu
