Path of Exile Item Upgrades Upgrades to items are a common and essential way to boost the performance of many items in Path of Exile They can be a good source of additional damage more AD or even more affixes Raregrade equipment is usually superior to upgraded Common or Magic gear due to their higher requirements Armor Armor upgrades can be applied to both weapon and armor items They improve the effectiveness of the item they are connected to Upgrades to armor can be found in the world of games and purchased from Blacksmiths on bonfires Alternately they can be salvaged from items that have upgrade components in them using an expert or greater salvage kit The level of an armors or weapons upgrade determines the amount of damage it can absorb The upgrade of an armor piece to maximum upgrade level will boost its damage absorption It is important to keep in mind that this will increase the weight of the armor therefore it must be heavier There are a variety of armor upgrades available in the game Each has a different effect Certain upgrades grant armor an extra amount of health points while others make it stronger and lighter The kind of armor upgrade an item can receive is indicated by the name of the upgrade as shown in the table below A few upgrades also feature magical or a combination of magic and technology which is identified by a Magic or Hybrid entry in the table below Certain upgrades also require fees to use They are referred to as Charges entries in the table The charges associated with these upgrades change daily or never expire according to the upgrade The cheapest way to upgrade armor is by using Iron Ore which can be gathered by exploring the area and looting minor loot chests Titanium is more expensive but it can be obtained from the smelters in Orgrimmar and Stormwind City Some upgrades such as the Reforge and the Hot Potato Books can only be applied to higher level armor pieces These upgrades can provide significant increases in stats and are well worth the investment Upgrading a piece of armor to the highest upgrade level will dramatically increase its defense capabilities but the wearer must be aware that increasing its weight can drastically decrease its speed and agility Therefore item upgrades is generally not recommended to upgrade the majority of armor pieces beyond 9 since the defensive boost gained is usually 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 Upgrades can boost the accuracy of a rifle or the damage that shotgun shells cause Some weapons also have special enhancements that enhance their intrinsic characteristics Frictionless materials improves stability minimizes the risk of overheating and Kinetic coils increases the projectiles velocity to cause more damage are two examples Most upgrades for weapons require one of three Power Dices a different amount of Minerals and Erons and a whetblade These can be obtained by completing Side Quests or by killing a certain number of monsters and bosses 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 are required to complete it The cost of upgrading will be lower if have more than one of the upgrade materials In Chapter 2 Season 5 the way you upgrade your weapon and sets has changed Before you could go to an Upgrade Bench and pay a certain number of Bars to upgrade your weapon or equipment to an increased rarity You could do this until the weapon or equipment reached its maximum upgrade level at which point the upgrades would reset This is still possible but it is dependent heavily on RNG Instead youre better off going to stores and buying gear with low upgrade levels but good base scores and stat distributions These gears have a better chance of granting you the highest level of benefits and blessings To improve their skills faster many players prioritize upgrading their weapons In addition to these players they should also consider upgrading the weapons that are most popular with their teammates to make them more powerful as well Shepard for example should upgrade his M92F in order to unlock the Beretta M93R This will increase the effectiveness of the weapon when used with biotic specialists like Grunt and Tali Jewels Jewels can be used to boost the stats of a character or to provide additional effects on weapons and armor They can be created using the process of jewelry crafting in which you combine a gem and a number of specific chemicals at a table The higher the grade of the gemstone is the greater its secondary effect These reagents can be obtained around the world from Treasure Goblins World Bosses and sometimes by salvaging Legendary gear You can also buy them from The Jeweler for gold and a Scattered Prism The Jeweler can enhance the quality of the gem in stages that range from Crude up to Royal Depending on the tier of the gem it will give different stat boosts when it is inserted into weapons equipment and jewelry All tiers of jewels can be crafted at the Jeweler however there are some exceptions to this such as the rare and legendary gems that require you to be at a high enough level to be able to get the privilege of having them Jewels can be replaced with another jewel without damaging the original However it is only possible to replace the jewels in an equipment piece only once It is common to use more jewelry for aesthetic reasons In addition to enhancing performance the diamonds create a surface that is harder than metal so repeated friction from pivots doesnt cause damage as easily In addition to the abovementioned upgrades players can also obtain glyphs for their weapons and shields from a Glyphmaster These glyphs give a slight boost in power and can be traded but theyre not guaranteed to appear as loot Glyphs just like jewelry can be upgraded by the Jeweler in exchange for Scattered Crystals and gold Glyphs are also removed from the inventory and they are returned to the inventory Other upgrade components such as aegis or traits cannot be swapped and can only be retrieved by using an Upgrade extractor or salvaging with the Black Lion Salvage Kit or an Ascended Salvage Trinkets Trinkets can provide your hero with various small but valuable benefits They can be acquired starting in the starter areas as loot or personal story rewards from vendors and by doing 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 provides a tiny but valuable boost in movement speed and the ability to evade The player can then acquire necklaces amulets and rings in a similar way as they did with weapons and armor Each piece of gear comes with one upgrade slot that can accommodate either a universal upgrade or a jewel upgrade Universal upgrades offer smaller bonuses and can be used in any type of equipment however jewelry cannot be replaced or upgraded and only works with specific types of trinkets These trinkets can also grant buffs and skills that remain active when the hero is not fighting This allows a hero to be more efficient while inactive It can also make up for the lack of a strong team or talent tree slots which are usually filled by the heros best stats A good general rule of thumb for trinket upgrades is to prioritize BiS BestinSlot items that you arent planning to replace soon followed by items with desirable stats but less important than the iLevel of the item to be upgraded This is especially true if you are looking to upgrade multiple statistics on an item Its best to upgrade just one crucial stat instead of two subpar ones Jungle players will often upgrade their yellow trinket to a red trinket at the beginning of the game Mid and top players on the other hand will choose a green or a pink ward depending on the matchup These choices can impact the heros ability to manage the map Aside from the items mentioned above players can also discover a variety of other items in the form of trophies and awards They can be earned by completing certain milestones in the story for instance completing a chapters main quest or destroying a boss They can be viewed by selecting the relevant achievement from the reward tab of the hero menu
