Path of Exile Item Upgrading
Item upgrading allows players to improve their weapons and equipment with new affixes, increasing its base stats or providing additional benefits. To upgrade items, players must have the item upgrader in their inventory and access the kiln.
Items with weak bases, like rings, can be upgraded into more robust bases. Items with strong bases, such as eth Titans have little change in their stats.
upgrade item components
Upgrade components are items that can be slotted into trinkets, weapons, armor and tools for gathering, offering an attribute bonus or item Upgrader mod additional effect when the equipment is in use. They can be purchased from vendors, found as loot by enemies, or obtained from chests or missions. Certain upgrades come with additional cosmetic effects. Most upgrades require the equipment to be above a certain level before they are upgraded.
