Guild Wars 2 Item Upgrade The process of upgrading an item, often called “upping,” improves an item's stats. Each upgrade increment boosts the stat linearly. Players can recycle up to six items at a time to gain an indicator of the level of the item's upgraded components. The cost of recycling an item scales with its rarity and level. Upgrade components In Guild Wars 2, an upgrade to an item is a method to increase the stats on your armor and weapons. This can be achieved in a variety of ways such as using upgrade components or increasing the rarity or mark level. Many items can also be reforged in order to increase their value. There are items that can be upgraded throughout the game. They are available all over the world as well as rewards for missions. Players can also craft them. The main way to upgrade gear is through the use of upgrade components, which are components that can be inserted into equipment. Most equipment comes with upgrade slots, and many require a certain level of upgrade. Certain upgrade components provide specific bonuses while others provide general bonuses. There are many types of upgrade components that are available in the game. These include universal upgrades, inscriptions, and jewels. Universal upgrades, such as gemstones and enchantments, can be used in any type of equipment and offer fewer bonuses than those that are type specific to the type of equipment. Glyphs can only be placed in gathering tools and provide numerous bonuses, ranging from increasing the speed of the item's collection to supplying additional crafting materials. To upgrade an item, select it in your inventory and open the Upgrade window. The preview will appear on the right hand side of the screen. It will show the expected statistics after the upgrade. The Upgrade button at the bottom will show Blocked if you don't have enough of or. The upper-right side of the screen shows the amount of upgrade components required to create the specific item. The cost of upgrading increases as the level and rarity of the item. However you can lower this cost by purchasing upgrades from a merchant, or trading them with other players. Many weapons can be improved by adding a prefix, like a rune or an insignia. Other weapons can be improved with the suffix. These upgrades alter the name of the item, adding an adjective, such as 'Radiant' or 'Minor Vigor. The only exceptions are the non-inscribable weapons, such as foci and shields from the Prophecies and Factions campaigns, that cannot be upgraded using any kinds of mods at all. Glyphs Glyphs are a way to convey visual information. They animate in order to grab the attention of the viewer and spark curiosity. The animation of glyphs mimics the body language and makes them more effective in communicating an inter-linguistic message. Glyphs also improve the retention of messages by creating an emotional connection in the brain. Each glyph has a range of values it can increase a stat's value according to the item when you open the glyph in the Glyph Storage or when you use it to enchant an Artifact. This isn't the exact amount at which glyphs can improve a stat, but the maximum amount it can do so. The value of the glyph depends on the tier and the quality of the product you are in awe of. Most upgrade components inserted into items can't be replaced or salvaged without dismantling the gear in question, with the exception of legendary equipment and upgrades. If you have a glyph or rune you do not want to use, but it's not been applied to the gear yet, you can transfer the item to a different piece by selecting the Upgrade Glyphs menu on the Glyphs Panel. This will create a Glyph Set that includes the selected glyph. If you want to remove the glyph from an item you must save it using an Black Lion Salvage Kit or Ascended Salvage Tool. The item where the glyph is placed will be destroyed, but the upgraded item can be retrieved with the glyph shards. A glyph added to an item may cause it to be unstable, and the shards of that glyph will disappear from your inventory once you remove the item. You can also put a glyph on your equipment to give it a bonus. For instance the glyph Deferred Damage can store damage for the wearer and deal it slowly rather than all at one time. This is helpful for players who take many hits from enemies, but don't want to be overwhelmed. Reroll tokens Reroll tokens allow players to alter the affixes they use on their weapons and equipment, and they can be obtained in a variety of ways like mistery boxes, as rare drops from skulled creatures, or by killing bosses. Each reroll provides the player with an affix randomly chosen and generally better than the one they had prior to. Reroll tokens can also be a good option to reroll stats on weapons and can be upgraded for better damage or other perks. Items that have been rerolled may not appear in the item upgrade menu, but they are still eligible to receive upgrades. By pressing the “upgrade button”, you can recycle these recycled items. This will alter the appearance of the window for the item, and allow up to six items to be selected for recycling. The level gauge is increased by recycling an item. The amount is determined by the item's rarity and its level, therefore items with higher levels are more valuable to recycle than lower-level ones. Players can also make use of Reroll Tokens and Star Remnants to reroll Weapon Traits to upgrade units. Rerolls will determine the % chance of a particular weapon trait; if it rolls higher, the weapon will be upgraded, and if it is lower, the weapon remains unchanged. Weapons can be repeatedly rolled up to three times. Rerolling is a great way to upgrade an item. However, players must be aware of the fact that the total ilvl is diminished by the number of the rerolls required to bring it to the final ilvl. This effect is most noticeable on Diadems and Rings, because they are the only options for raising ilvl. The system of rerolls has been criticised by players as being too expensive, and it would be more reasonable to let players pay for it using money or a food item that allows players to modify their build without wasting time and effort. The developers do not plan to introduce paid rerolls at this stage of the game's development. Instead, they're planning to add an ability to change races in the future. Leveling There are a variety of ways to level up an upgrade to an item. The most effective method to level up an upgrade to an item is by increasing the upgrade amount. This boosts the value of upgrading any stat. The alternative is to increase the effect of an upgrade, which increases damage or healing for a stat. The base item can be upgraded to a more advanced upgrade type. After this, the new item will retain its iLevel however it will benefit from the upgrade effects of the upgraded item type. It is crucial to remember that upgrades are random. Most of the time, a higher roll is determined by glyphs. However, there are times where a higher or more special roll may occur. The item type will also determine the iLevel. If you upgrade a rare or unique item to a unique item type, then it is likely to receiving an upper level. Upgrades to items can be costly, particularly when you're upgrading an item of equipment from a standard to the legendary track. The cost will depend on the item's base iLevel and the amount of upgrade levels it offers. Additionally, item upgrading require crests to get to the next upgrade level. If you're fortunate the upgraded item could attain the highest level on its upgrade track and gain an additional benefit. This will give you a substantial increase in the value of the item. The bonus effect can change with each upgrade level though. In general, the effect of upgrading is increased by +3. The iLevel can also change in accordance with the item's upgrade path and its base level. For example an item that has been 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.
