Guild Wars 2 Item Upgrade
item upgrading upgrade, also referred to as "upping," improves an item's stats. Each upgrade increment increases a stat linearly.
Players can recycle six items at one time to get a gauge of the upgraded component of each item. The cost of recycling items increases according to their rarity and level.
Upgrade components
An upgrade for an item in Guild Wars 2 is a process that can increase the stats of your armor and weapons. This can be achieved through a number of means that include using upgrade components and upgrading an item's mark levels or rarity. Additionally there are many items that can be reforged to boost their stats even more.
You can purchase upgradeable items throughout the game. They are available throughout all over the world and are rewards for missions. They can also be made by players. The primary method to upgrade equipment is through the use of upgrade components, which are items that can be inserted into equipment. Most equipment has slots that can be upgraded and some require a specific level of upgrade. Some upgrade components provide specific bonuses, while others offer a general bonus.
There are many types of upgrade components in the game, including universal upgrades, inscriptions and jewels. Universal upgrades, such as gems and enchantments, are able to be placed in any equipment type and offer less bonuses than those that are equipment type specific to the type of equipment. Glyphs are only available in gathering tools. They offer a range of bonuses, ranging from increasing the speed of an item's gathering to providing additional crafting materials.
Choose the item upgrader kit from your inventory, then open the Upgrade window. The window will show a preview on the right side of the screen that shows what the expected stats will be after the upgrade, along with any necessary components or materials. If you don't have enough of either the two, the Upgrade button will be marked as Blocked.
The number of upgrade components needed for a specific item is displayed in the upper-right corner of the window for upgrading. The cost of an upgrade increases with the level of the upgrade and its rarity, however it can be reduced using a variety of methods, including purchasing upgrades from a vendor or trading them to other players.
Most weapons can be upgraded using the use of a prefix upgrade like an insignia or a rune. Many can be upgraded using a suffix upgrade. These upgrades add an adjective to the item upgrading's name for example "Radiant" or "Minor Vigor".
Glyphs
Glyphs are a powerful tool to communicate visual information. They are animated to grab the attention of the viewers and trigger interest in the brain. The glyphs' animation mimics the body language and makes them more effective in transmitting an inter-linguistic message. Glyphs can also enhance the retention of the message by triggering an experience of familiarity in the brain.
Each glyph increases the value of a stat by a certain range. This is shown on the item's page when you open it in the Glyph Storage. This is the highest value that the glyph can improve a stat by but not the amount it will actually increase the stat by. The value of the glyph is contingent on the tier and the quality of the item you are enchanting.
The majority of upgrade components that are added to items cannot be removed or replaced without removing them except for legendary equipment and upgrades. However, if you have an unusable rune or glyph that has not yet been incorporated into your gear, you can move it to a different piece equipment by using the upgrade Glyphs context menu in the Glyphs panel. This will create a Glyph Set that includes the selected glyph.
You can remove a glyph by using a Black Lion Salvage Kit, or an Ascended Salvage tool. The item upgrading where the glyph is located will be destroyed, but the upgraded item upgrader kit can be salvaged by removing the glyph fragments.
When you remove an item after putting a glyph on it, the shards of the glyph will vanish. You can also place an inscription to your equipment to make it more valuable. Deferred Damage, for example can be used to store damage and then be dealt slowly to the wearer instead of all at once. This is beneficial for players who take a lot of damage from their enemies, but do not want to be overwhelmed.
Reroll tokens
Reroll tokens are used to alter the affixes of weapons and equipment. They can be obtained from many sources, including mysterious boxes, rare drops from skulled monsters, or by killing bosses. Each reroll token grants the player a new random affix, which is typically superior to the original. Reroll tokens are also a great method to reroll the stats of a weapon and can be upgraded for better damage or additional perks.
Rerolled items do not appear in the menu of item upgrades, but they can be upgraded. By pressing the "upgrade button" you can recycle these items that have been rerolled. This will change the design of the item's window, and allow up to six items be chosen to recycle. The level gauge is increased by recycling an item. This amount is determined by the item's rarity and its level, therefore higher-level items are more valuable to recycle than lower level ones.
Players can also use Reroll Tokens and Star Remnants to roll rerolling weapons to upgrade units. A reroll will roll the % chance of a particular weapon trait. If it rolls higher, the weapon is upgraded. If it is lower, the weapon remains unchanged. Weapons can be repeatedly rolled up to three times.
Rerolling is a fantastic option to upgrade an item. However, players should be aware that the total ilvl will be decreased by the number of rerolls it took to get it to the final ilvl. This effect of lowering is most effective on Diadems and rings that do not have any competing ilvl-raising options.
Some players have complained that the reroll system is too expensive. It would be fairer to allow players to pay for it with cash or food items, which will allow players to make changes to their builds without spending too much time. The developers aren't planning to implement paid rerolls at this stage of the game's development. They plan to add the ability for players to alter their race in the near future.
Leveling
There are many ways to boost the value of an upgrade for an item. The most effective method to level up an upgrade to an item is by increasing the amount of upgrade. This increases the upgrade value for a stat. The second option is to boost the effect of the upgrade, which boosts damage or healing for the stat. In addition you have the option to upgrade the base item to a higher upgrade type. The upgraded item will keep its iLevel but be upgraded to reflect the effects of the upgraded item.
When upgrading items it is essential to keep in mind that upgrades are not guaranteed. In most cases a better roll is determined by glyphs. However there are occasions 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 specific kind of item, it has a chance of getting an upper level.
Upgrades to items can be costly, particularly when you're upgrading a piece of equipment from a standard to the legendary track. The price will depend on the item's iLevel base and the number of upgrade levels it offers. Certain upgrade tracks require crests to be completed in order to move on to the next level.
If you're fortunate the upgraded item will get to the top of its upgrade track, and thus unlock an additional effect. This will increase the item's upgrade value. The bonus effect can change with each upgrade level, though. In general, the upgrade effect is increased by +3.
Depending on the item's base level and its upgrade route, the iLevel of the upgraded item will change as well. For example an item that has been upgraded from a rare or exclusive item to an extraordinary one is likely to gain the Enhanced Defence of the new base item.
