Guild Wars 2 Item Upgrade

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

Players can recycle up to six items at once to gain an indicator of the level of the upgraded components. The cost of recycling items scales depending on their rarity and level.

Upgrade components

An item upgrade in Guild Wars 2 is a procedure that can improve the effectiveness of your armor and weapons. This can be accomplished by a variety of methods such as using upgrade components or increasing an item's rarity or mark level. A lot of items can be reforged to boost their stats.

Upgradeable items are available all over the game, both in the world and as rewards for missions. They can also be crafted by players. The most common method of upgrading equipment is by making use of upgrade components which are the items that can be inserted into equipment. The majority of equipment comes with slots to upgrade, and many require a certain amount of upgrade. Some upgrade components give specific bonuses while others provide a general bonus.

There are several types of upgrade components available in the game, including universal upgrades, inscriptions and jewels. Universal upgrades, like gemstones and enchantments, can be placed on any type of equipment and provide smaller bonuses than upgrades for specific equipment. Glyphs can be placed in gathering tools, and provide a variety of benefits, from increasing the speed of the item's collection to supplying additional crafting materials.

Select the item in your inventory, and then open the Upgrade window. The preview will appear on the right hand side of the screen. It will show the expected stats following the upgrade. The Upgrade button at the bottom will be labeled as Blocked if you do not have enough of either.

The upper-right corner shows the number of upgrade components required for a particular item. The cost of upgrading increases depending on the rarity and level of the item. However you can cut down on the cost by purchasing upgrades from a seller or trading them with other players.

Almost all weapons can be upgraded by a prefix upgrade for example, an insignia or a rune, and a lot of them can be upgraded with a suffix upgrade. These upgrades can be used to add an adjective to the name of the item like "Radiant" or "Minor Vigor".

Glyphs

Glyphs are a way to communicate visual information. They animate to capture the attention of the viewers and trigger interest in the brain. The animation of glyphs mimics body language, making them even more effective in conveying a message across linguistic barriers. Glyphs also improve the retention of messages by creating an emotional connection in the brain.

Each glyph can increase the value of a stat by specific amount. This is clearly displayed on the item upgrader mod when you open it in the Glyph Storage. This isn't the actual amount by which glyphs can improve the stat, but rather the maximum amount by which it can do so. The value of the glyph will depend on the tier and the quality of the item you are admiring.

The majority of upgrade components that are slotted into items are not able to be replaced or salvaged without dismantling the equipment in question, unless it is legendary equipment and upgrades. However, if you have a rune or glyph that hasn't yet been applied to your gear, you can move it to another piece of equipment by utilizing the Upgrade Glyphs context menu within the Glyphs panel. This will create an entirely new Glyph Set with the selected glyph.

You can take out a glyph by using the Black Lion Salvage Kit, or an Ascended Salvage tool. The item will be destroyed within which it is placed, but you can recover the upgraded item with the glyph and its fragments, so this should not be considered a loss.

If you take an item off after adding a glyph, the shards that are part of the glyph will disappear. You can also add an inscription on your equipment to make it more valuable. Deferred Damage, for example can be used to store damage and be distributed slowly to the wearer rather than all at one time. This is helpful for those who take many hits from their enemies but do not want to be overwhelmed.

Reroll tokens

Reroll tokens let players change the affixes of their equipment and weapons, and they can be obtained through a variety of methods like mistery boxes, as a rare drop from skulled creatures, or even from killing bosses. Every reroll grants the player an affix randomly chosen and usually better than what they had prior to. Reroll tokens are also a great method to reroll the stats of a weapon that can be upgraded to increase damage or other perks.

Items that have been rerolled do not appear in the upgrade menu, but they are still eligible to receive upgrades. These rerolled items can be recycled by pressing the "upgrade" button, which changes the appearance of the window and allows up to six items to be chosen to recycle. The gauge of level is increased by recycling an item. The amount is based on the item upgrading's rarity and also its level. Thus, items with higher levels are more valuable to recycle than items with lower levels.

In addition to tokens for rerolls, players can make use of Star Remnants and Reroll Tokens to roll the traits of a weapon in an upgraded unit. A reroll will roll the % chance of a particular weapon trait. If it rolls higher, the weapon will be upgraded, and if it is lower, the weapon remains the same. Weapons can be upgraded up to 3 times.

A reroll is a good option for upgrading an item, however, players must be aware that it can lower the overall ilvl of the weapon by the number of rerolls used in order to increase the weapon to its ultimate ilvl. This effect is most evident on Diadems and Rings, because they are the only options to increase the ilvl.

Players have complained that the reroll system is too expensive. It would be fairer to let people pay for it with cash or food items which allows players to make changes to their builds without having to spend too much time. The developers have no plans to offer paid rerolls in this point in the game's development. They are planning to add an ingredient that allows players to change their race in the future.

Leveling

There are several ways to upgrade an item level upgrade. The first is to increase the amount of upgrade which boosts the value of upgrading the stat. The second option is to boost the impact of the upgrade, which increases the damage or healing of a stat. Finally, there is the ability to upgrade the base item to a higher upgrade type. The new item will retain its iLevel but be upgraded to reflect the effects of the upgraded item.

When you upgrade items, it is important to remember that upgrades aren't always planned. In the majority of cases, a better roll is based on the glyphs. However, there are times when a greater or special roll can occur. The item type will also determine the iLevel. If you upgrade a rare or unique item to a special item type, then it is likely to receiving an upper level.

Upgrading items can be costly especially when you're upgrading an item of equipment from the standard to the legendary track. The cost will depend on the item's base iLevel and the number of upgrade levels it offers. In addition, some upgrade tracks require crests in order to get to the next upgrade items level.

If you're lucky your upgraded item will be at the maximum level of its upgrade track, and will unlock a bonus effect. This will provide the item with a significant upgrade value. The bonus effect can change with each upgrade level however. In general, the upgrade effect is increased by +3.

Depending on the item's base level and upgrade route, the iLevel of the upgraded item will also change. For instance, an item that is upgraded from a rare or unique item to an exceptional one will have the chance to gain the Enhanced Defense of the new base item.
