The process of upgrading an item, often referred to as "upping," improves an item's stats. Each upgrade increment increases the stats linearly.
Players can recycle up to six items at a time in order to gain an indicator of the level of the upgraded components. The cost of recycling an item increases depending on its rarity and.
Upgrade components
In Guild Wars 2, an upgrade of an item can be a method to boost the stats of your armor and weapons. This can be accomplished in a variety of ways such as using upgrade components or by increasing the rarity or mark level. Many items can also be reforged to increase their stats.
You can purchase upgradeable items throughout the game. They are available throughout the world as well as rewards for missions. Players can also make them. Upgrade components are the primary way to upgrade equipment. These are items that can be inserted into equipment. Most equipment comes with upgrade slots, and most require a certain level of upgrade. Some upgrade components give specific bonuses, while others offer a general bonus.
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 put in any type of equipment and offer less bonuses than those that are type specific. Glyphs can be placed in gathering tools and provide a variety of bonuses, ranging from increasing the speed of the item's collection to supplying additional crafting materials.
To upgrade an item, click it in your inventory and open the Upgrade window. The preview will be displayed on the right hand side of the screen. It will show the expected stats following the upgrade. If you do not have enough of either the upgrade button will say Blocked.
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 an upgrade increases depending on the level of upgrade and rarity, but it can be reduced through many different methods, such as buying upgrades at a merchant or trading them with other players.
Most weapons can be upgraded with a prefix upgrade for example, an insignia or rune, and a lot of them can be upgraded using suffix upgrades.
item upgrades include an adjective in the name of the item for example "Radiant" or "Minor Vigor".
Glyphs
Glyphs can be a powerful tool for communicating visual information. They are animated to draw the attention of the viewer and entice curiosity. The animation of glyphs mimics the body language and makes them more effective in conveying a linguistic barrier-crossing message. Glyphs can also trigger a feeling of familiarity in the brain, thereby increasing retention of the message.
Each glyph comes with a range of values that it can increase a stat's value in the form of an item when you open the glyph in the Glyph Storage or when you use them to enchant an Artifact. This range is not the exact amount at which glyphs can improve the stat, but rather the maximum amount by which it can do so. The actual value of the glyph is determined by the tier and the quality of the product you are creating it for.
Most upgrade components slotted into items cannot be repaired or replaced without removing the gear in question, unless it is legendary equipment and upgrades. If you do have an unusable rune or glyph that hasn't yet been applied to your equipment, you can transfer it to a different piece of gear by using the upgrade Glyphs context menu in the Glyphs panel. This will create a Glyph Set that includes the chosen glyph.
If you want to remove a glyph from a piece of, you will need to salvage it with an Black Lion Salvage Kit or Ascended Salvage Tool. The item will be destroyed that it was installed in, but you can recover the upgraded item by using the glyph and its shards therefore, it shouldn't be considered as a loss.
When you remove an item after adding a glyph, the shards of the glyph will vanish. You can also apply a glyph to your equipment to add an extra benefit. For example, the glyph Deferred Damage can store damage for the wearer and then deal it out slowly instead of all at once. This is beneficial for players who take lots of damage from enemies however do not want to be overwhelmed.
Reroll tokens
Reroll tokens can be used to change the affixes on equipment and weapons. They can be obtained from a variety of sources, such as mystery boxes and rare drops from skulled monsters, or by killing bosses. Each reroll gives the player an unspecified affix, which is typically better than what they had before. Reroll tokens can be used to boost the weapon's stats to increase damage or bonuses.
Items that have been rerolled will not appear in the upgrade menu, however they are still eligible to receive upgrades. These rerolled items can be recycled by pressing the "upgrade" button, which changes the layout of the item 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 determined by the rarity of the item and its own level, so higher-level items are more valuable to recycle than lower-level ones.
In addition to tokens for rerolls, players can make use of Star Remnants and Reroll Tokens to roll the Weapon Traits of an upgraded unit. Rerolls roll the % chance of a weapon trait. If it is higher, the weapon will be upgraded, and if it rolls lower, it remains unchanged. Weapons can be upgraded up to three times.
Rerolling is an excellent option to upgrade an item. However, players should be aware of the fact that the total ilvl is diminished by the number of that it took to reroll it to the final ilvl. This effect of lowering is most effective for Diadems and rings, which have no other options for raising ilvls.
The Reroll system has been criticized by players for being expensive and it's more reasonable to let players pay for it with money or food items that would allow players to alter their build without spending too much time and effort. However paying for rerolls is not something the developers are planning to implement at this time in the game's development. Instead, they're planning add an ability to change races in the near future.
Leveling
There are a number of ways to increase the level of an upgrade to an item. The first method of leveling up an upgrade for an item is to increase the amount of upgrade. This increases the value of an upgrade for a stat. The second is to boost the effect of upgrading that increases the healing or damage of a particular stat. Finally you have the option to upgrade the base item to an upgrade type. After this, the new item will keep its iLevel but it will be upgraded with the effects of the upgraded item type.
It is crucial to keep in mind that upgrades can be random. Most of the time the chance of a better roll will be derived from glyphs, however there are also chances for higher or more special rolls. The item type will also determine the iLevel. If you upgrade a unique or rare item to a unique item type, then it's likely to getting a higher level.
The cost of upgrading items can be expensive, particularly when you're upgrading a piece of equipment from the standard to legendary track. The cost of upgrading an item will be contingent on the iLevel it's built upon as well as the number of levels to upgrade. Certain upgrade tracks require crests to be completed in order to move on to the next level.
If you're lucky, your upgraded item will be at the highest level on its upgrade track and gain a bonus effect. This will give the item a significant upgrade value. The bonus effect is different with each upgrade level. Generally speaking the effect of upgrading is increased by a number of +3.
The iLevel will also change in accordance with the item's upgrade path and base level. For instance, an item that is upgraded from a rare or unique item to an outstanding one will have the chance to gain the Enhanced Defence of the new base item.
