Upgrades to equipment grant an increase in the item's stats. item upgrades with the upgrade component level and rarity.
Components
Upgrade components are the items that can make your weapons and armor more effective. You can locate them by destroying enemies, buying them from karma vendors, or finding them in item-spheres. They can also be salvaged from equipment with them, or through the highest-quality salvage kits such as the Black Lion Salvage Kit or Ascended Salvage Tool. In contrast to other items, upgrade components are not destroyed when they are removed from an item.
Upgrade components are primarily used to upgrade an item, but they can also be used for other reasons. They can be used to increase the level of the amount of experience gained by upgrading equipment or weapons. They can also be made to offer additional benefits. For instance, a designed glyph will increase the chance of upgrading its target, while the boost upgrade can boost the defense or attack attribute of a weapon or armor.
You can bind an upgrade template to an item by selecting it from the edition GUI. It will display an upgrade component list that the item can be upgraded to. Alternatively, you can use the workbench to select an upgrade template. In either case, the item will be upgraded after enough upgrade components have been gathered.
Each component has its own experience multiplier. This determines the amount of experience an item gains when upgraded using the component. Organic components, like have a higher multiplier of experience than mechanical components. You should upgrade your organic components first until you reach the next level in the weapon or equipment, then switch to mechanical upgrades.
In addition to the multiplier for experience, each item also has an maximum number of upgrades it can receive. The number of items that are upgradeable is determined by their upgradeable rank and the type of upgrade they can receive. The highest level of upgrade is a weapon with the tier 10. The most commonly used upgrade is a gun with tier 6 and a armor upgrade for tier 5.
Sets
A set is a group of items that have bonuses. Each item in the set can be upgraded at least once, and each upgrade boosts the amount of bonuses that are guaranteed. When you first upgrade an item or set piece, it will receive an increase of +1 to its primary stat. After subsequent upgrades the primary stats will be boosted a little more (for example, +1 to 12+/13+/14+) Every time you upgrade the item with an additional stats is boosted randomly.
Upgrades can also increase a weapon's damage base. This could be crucial for certain builds. Weapons aren't upgraded to give greater maximum defence rolls than their base. Upgrades can be a great option to increase the value of certain sets and unique items, however it is important to keep in mind that they may not be more effective than a high-level raneword in any build.
If an item you're upgrading comes with a guaranteed bonus, it can be rerolled only once, and then its guarantee will be reset to 0. Rerolling is the same amount of power dice as bringing an item, however the new item will have different extra bonuses. The NPC [ArmorBoboko Boboko can upgrade your armor in Central Flarine. To upgrade an item, you'll require a power die of each kind (Dice 4 or 6 drop from monsters 21+ and Giants; dice 7 drops from bosses) and the right amount of Minerals and Erons. These are available at the crafting table or the Ultra Collector and can be purchased with Gold. The NPC will also give an extra reward for every tier that is completed of the upgrade process. This reward can be rerolled once and will be made using the same materials as the first item.
Rerolling
A player is able to roll any item they have acquired in the game if they have enough tokens. If an upgraded item is rerolled, it will be exchanged for a level 1 version of the same item from a different set. Reroll tokens are sold in the shop for a small amount of in-game currency. They cannot be refunded. The upgraded item will still come with the extra bonuses of the original one, but its stats will differ also.
Players can change the identity of equipment in addition to rolling it again by interacting with a NPC upgrader. The equipment's identification will change from a weapons to armor or vice versa. The base requirements and stats will remain the same. The change will be permanent and affect all characters that own the gear.
The player can also upgrade their level of an item for any equipment equipped. This is accomplished by engaging with an upgrader NPC and getting upgrade items. It will cost a specific amount of crests and Valorstones according to the upgrade track and type. In the case of weapons, each step will add an additional 5% to its damage.
Upgrades can boost the effectiveness of an item, however they also can decrease the quality of an item. Therefore, it is important to keep both in check. Some items aren't worth upgrading, whereas others require upgrading to make them more effective. For item upgrading may wish to upgrade a piece of breakpoint armor that has an interesting modifier (% chance to block or FHR) to discover what it could become.
Rerolling is a common practice in Genshin Impact and other gacha-based games. People use it in order to get the character or weapon that they wouldn't otherwise have. These items are time-consuming and costly to obtain and the RNG isn't always a good fit. The only options left are to invest real money or grind a lot. This is why rerolling is a popular option in Genshin Impact.
Leveling
You can choose whether to upgrade the weapon or armor when upgrading an item. This feature is not available in the current version of the game. I believe it was intended to to increase the value of rare items, but as equipment generally drops quickly and can only be upgraded after a certain amount of levels, you'll usually replace the item before it becomes old enough. It's not worth it to level items that have gem sockets since the value of the gem will be greater than the increase in ilvl with the upgrade.
You will see a small window when you click on the upgrade option on an item. It will show the template of the item, the Crest, as well as the Valorstone cost to raise the item's level. The costs will vary between weapons and armor as well, with the former typically costing more than the latter. The upgrade template lists the stats that will be added to an upgraded item and also the current base ilvl.
The crest and Valorstone costs are calculated by analyzing the current ilvl of the item and the upgrade template. In addition, the ilvl of the new upgraded item will be reduced by the upgrade template's lvl decrease percentage. For example an upgrade of 8% can reduce the ilvl of a weapon by 8 to 8%.
In addition to the base ilvl boost it will also get upgrades in other stats such as critical strike damage, PvE damage, dodge, block and parry rating. These increases are also based off the upgrade template.
The amount of damage and defense that the item receives when leveled up can be seen below the upgrade cost and decrease percentages in the upgrade template window. All armor and weapons apart from practice equipment get these stats once they've been leveled up. The value of these additional stats will be determined by the market, with a rolled perfect version of a weapon or piece of armor able to command much more trade value than non-upp'd versions. The same applies to other armor pieces like circlets and Tiaras.
