Guild Wars 2 Item Upgrade

Item upgrade, commonly known as "upping," improves an item's stats. Each upgrade increment increases the stats 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 varies with its rarity and level.

Upgrade components

An upgrade for an item in Guild Wars 2 is a process that can increase the effectiveness of your weapons and armor. This can be accomplished by many different methods such as using upgrade components as well as upgrading an item upgrader's mark levels or rarity. Many items can also be reforged to boost their stats.

Upgradeable items can be found throughout the game, both within the world and as rewards for missions. Players can also make them. The main way to upgrade gear is through the use of upgrade components, which are items that can be inserted into equipment. Most equipment comes with upgrade slots, and many require a certain upgrade level. Certain upgrade components provide specific bonuses while others give general bonuses.

There are many types of upgrade components available in the game, such as universal upgrades, inscriptions, and jewels. Universal upgrades, like gemstones and enchantments, can be placed on any equipment and provide smaller bonuses than upgrades that are specific to equipment. Glyphs can be placed in gathering tools and provide various benefits, from increasing the speed at which an item gathers to supplying additional crafting materials.

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

The number of upgrade components required for a particular item is displayed in the upper-right corner of the window for upgrading. The cost of upgrading increases with the upgrade level and rarity, but can be reduced by a variety of methods, such as buying upgrades from a retailer or trading them to other players.

Most weapons can be improved by adding a prefix, such as a rune or an insignia. Some can be enhanced with the suffix. These upgrades can be used to add an adjective to the name of the item like "Radiant" or "Minor Vigor".

Glyphs

Glyphs are an effective tool for communicating visual information. They move to catch the attention of the viewers and trigger interest in the brain. The glyphs' animation mimics the body language, making them more effective in transmitting an inter-linguistic message. Glyphs can also trigger a feeling of familiarity in the brain, which increases retention of the message.

Each glyph can increase the value of a stat by certain amount. This is displayed on the item when you open it in the Glyph Storage. This is the highest value that a glyph can increase a stat's value by, not the amount that it will actually increase the stat by. The actual value of the glyph is determined by the quality and tier of the item you are creating it for.

The majority of upgrade components installed into items cannot be removed or replaced without dismantling them except for legendary upgrades and equipment. 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 selecting the Upgrade Glyphs menu on the Glyphs Panel. This will create a Glyph Set that includes the selected glyph.

If you are looking to remove a glyph from a piece of then you'll need to save it using an Black Lion Salvage Kit or Ascended Salvage Tool. The item on which the glyph is placed will be destroyed, however the upgraded item can be recovered with the glyph shards.

When you take away an item after adding a glyph, the shards that are part of the glyph will disappear. You can also add a glyph on your equipment to increase its value. For example the glyph Deferred Damage can store damage for the wearer and then deal it out slowly rather than all at once. This is useful for players who take a lot damage from enemies, but don't want to be overwhelmed.

Reroll tokens

Reroll tokens can be used to change the affixes that are placed on weapons and equipment. They can be obtained from many sources, such as mystery boxes or rare drops from skulled monsters, or by killing bosses. Each reroll gives the player an affix randomly chosen and usually better than what they had prior to. Reroll tokens can also be used to upgrade weapon stats for more damage or bonuses.

Rerolled items don't appear in the menu of upgrade options, however they can still be upgraded. These rerolled items are able to 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. Recycling an item adds small amount of points to its level gauge. This amount is determined by the rarity of the item and its own level, so higher-level items 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 weapon trait. If it rolls higher, the weapon is upgraded. If it is lower, it remains the same. Weapons can be upgraded up to 3 times.

Rerolling is an excellent way to upgrade an item. However, players must be aware of the fact that the total ilvl is decreased by the number of rerolls it took to get it to the final ilvl. This effect of lowering is most effective with Diadems and ring items that do not have any competing ilvl-raising options.

Some players have complained that the reroll system is too expensive. It's better to allow players to pay for it using money or food items, which would allow them to make changes to their builds without spending excessive amounts of time. However, paid rerolls are not something the developers are planning to incorporate at this point in the game's development. Instead, they're planning to add an option to change the race in the near future.

Leveling

There are a number of ways to increase the level of an upgrade to an item. The most effective method to level up an upgrade to an item is by increasing the upgrade amount. This increases the upgrade value for the stat. The second option is to increase the impact of the upgrade, which boosts damage or healing for an individual stat. Finally you have the option to upgrade the base item to a more powerful upgrade type. Once this is done the new item will retain its iLevel, but will have the upgrade effects of the upgraded item type.

When upgrading your items, it is important to keep in mind that upgrades are not guaranteed. In the majority of cases, a better roll is determined by glyphs. However there are occasions where a higher or more special roll could occur. In addition the iLevel of the upgrade will be determined by the item level upgrade type which means that should you upgrade a rare or unusual item to an extraordinary type it has a chance to achieve an iLevel that is higher.

Upgrades to items can be costly especially if you're upgrading a piece of gear from the normal to the legendary track. The price will depend on the item's base iLevel and the number of upgrade levels it offers. In addition, some upgrade tracks require crests to get to the next upgrade level.

If you're fortunate the upgraded item could get to the top of its upgrade item track, and thus unlock an additional benefit. This will provide a significant increase in the value of the item. The bonus effect changes with each upgrade level. Generally speaking the effect of upgrading is increased by a number of +3.

Depending on the item's level of base and upgrade route, the iLevel of the upgraded item will also change. For example the weapon that has been upgraded from a rare or exclusive item to an extraordinary item will have a chance to get the enhanced defense of the new base item type.
