Guild Wars 2 Item Upgrade

Item upgrade, also called "upping," improves an item's stats. Each upgrade increment boosts the stat linearly.

Players can recycle six items at a time to get a gauge of each item's upgraded component. The cost of recycling items increases depending on their rarity and level.

Upgrade components

A level upgrade in Guild Wars 2 is a process that can boost the stats of your weapons and armor. This can be done through various methods such as using upgrade components and upgrading an item's mark levels or rarity. Additionally there are many items that can be reforged to increase their stats.

You can purchase upgradeable items throughout the game. They are available in the world as well as rewards for missions. Players can also make them. Upgrade components are the most common method to upgrade equipment. These are items that can slot into equipment. The majority of equipment comes with slots that can be upgraded, and many require a specific level of upgrade. Some upgrade components provide specific bonuses, while others offer general bonuses.

There are several types of upgrade components available in the game, such as universal upgrades, inscriptions, and jewels. Universal upgrades, such as gemstones and enchantments, can be put in any kind of equipment and offer fewer bonuses than those that are equipment-type specific. Glyphs are only available in gathering tools. They offer a range of bonuses, ranging from boosting the speed at which an item gathers to supplying additional crafting materials.

Choose the item from your inventory, and then open the Upgrade window. This will display a preview on the right side of the screen, showing what the expected stats will be after the upgrade, and any materials or components required. If you don't possess enough of either, the Upgrade button will say Blocked.

The upper-right corner displays the amount of upgrade components required for a particular item. The price of an upgrade increases as the level and rarity of the item increases. However, you can reduce this cost by purchasing upgrades from a seller, or trading them with other players.

Most weapons can be upgraded by an upgrade to a prefix like an insignia, or a rune, and a lot of them are upgraded by a suffix upgrade. These upgrades change the name of the item, adding an adjective, for example "Radiant" or "Minor vigor. The only exceptions are the non-inscribable weapons, such as shields and foci from the Prophecies and Factions campaigns, which cannot be upgraded with any kinds of mods at all.

Glyphs

Glyphs can be used to convey information via visuals. They are animated to grab the attention of the viewers and trigger interest in the brain. The animation of glyphs mimics body language, making them even more effective in communicating the message across linguistic barriers. Glyphs can also increase the retention of the message by triggering a familiarity in the brain.

Each glyph can increase a stat's value by a specific amount. This is displayed on the Best item upgrader when you open it in the Glyph Storage. This range is the maximum value that a glyph can enhance a stat by but not the amount it actually improves the stat by. The value of the glyph will depend on the tier and quality of the item you are in awe of.

Most upgrade components slotted into items cannot be repaired or replaced without removing the gear in question, except for legendary equipment and upgrades. If you have a rune or glyph you don't want to use, but it's not been applied to the gear yet, you can transfer the item to a different piece by using the upgrade item Glyphs menu on the Glyphs Panel. This will create an Glyph Set that includes the selected glyph.

You can remove the glyph using the Black Lion Salvage Kit, or an Ascended Salvage tool. This will destroy the item in which it is installed, but you can recover the upgraded item by using the glyph and its shards, therefore, it shouldn't be considered a loss.

The addition of a glyph to an item can cause it to be unstable, and the shards of the glyph will disappear from your inventory when you dismantle the item. You can also apply an inscription on your equipment to provide an additional benefit. Deferred Damage, for example can store damage, and be distributed slowly to the wearer rather than all at once. This is helpful for players who are taking many hits from their enemies but don't want to be overwhelmed.

Reroll tokens

Reroll tokens let players alter the affixes they use on their weapons and equipment and can be found through a variety of methods, including in mistery boxes, as an uncommon drop from skulled creatures, or by killing bosses. Each reroll token grants the player a brand new random affix that is usually superior to the one they had before. Reroll tokens are also a good method to reroll the stats of a weapon that can be upgraded for better damage or perks.

Rerolled items are not listed in the menu of upgrade options, however they can be upgraded. These rerolled items are able to be recycled by pressing the "upgrade" button that alters the appearance of the window and allows up to six items to recycle. Recycling an item adds a small amount of points to its gauge of level. The amount is determined by the item's rarity and also its level. Therefore, items that are higher level are more valuable to recycle than those with lower levels.

Players can also make use of Reroll Tokens and Star Remnants to roll rerolling Weapon Traits to upgrade units. Rerolls roll a percentage chance to determine a weapon's trait. If it rolls higher, then the weapon is upgraded. If it is lower the weapon is left as it was. Weapons can be rerolled up to three times.

A reroll is a good option to upgrade an item, but users should be aware that it will lower the overall ilvl of the weapon based on the number of rerolls required in order to increase it to its final ilvl. This effect of lowering is most effective with Diadems and ring items, which have no competing ilvl-raising options.

Players have complained that the reroll system is expensive. It's better to let people pay for it using money or food items, which would allow players to make changes to their builds without having to spend excessive amounts of time. However the paid rerolls aren't something the developers are planning to implement at this time in the game's development. Instead, they plan to add a race change potion in the future.

Leveling

There are a variety of ways to upgrade an item. The first is to increase the upgrade amount that increases the upgrade value of any stat. The second is to increase the effect of upgrading which increases the damage or heal of a given stat. In addition you have the option to upgrade the base item to an upgrade type. The upgraded item will maintain its iLevel but have the upgraded effects of the upgraded item.

When you upgrade items It is crucial to remember that upgrades aren't always planned. In the majority of cases, a better roll is determined by glyphs. However there are instances when a more or unique roll may occur. The type of the item will determine the iLevel. If you upgrade a rare or unique item to a unique item type, it's likely to receiving an upper level.

Upgrades to items can be costly especially if you're upgrading a piece of equipment from a standard to the legendary track. The cost will depend on the item's iLevel base and the amount of upgrade levels it comes with. Some upgrade tracks also require crests in order to get to the next level.

If you're lucky, your upgraded item may attain the highest level on its upgrade track and gain an additional benefit. This will give the item a significant upgrade value. The bonus effect will change with each Upgrade item level. Generally speaking, the upgrade effect is increased by a factor of +3.

The iLevel also changes in accordance with the item's upgrade path and base level. For instance the weapon that has been upgraded from a unique or rare to a rare or exceptional item is likely to get the Enhanced Defense of the new base item type.
