Upgrade components
In Guild Wars 2, an upgrade of an item can be a method to increase the stats of your weapon and armor. This can be achieved through many different methods such as the use of upgrade components and also upgrading an item's mark level or rarity. Many items can also be reforged in order to increase their value.
Upgradable items can be found in the game, both in the world and as rewards for missions. Players can also make them. The primary method to upgrade gear is through the use of upgrade components which are the items that can be slotted into equipment. The majority of equipment comes with slots that can be upgraded, and many require a certain level of upgrade. Certain upgrade components provide specific bonuses while others provide general bonuses.
There are a variety of upgrade components that are available in the game. These include universal upgrades, inscriptions and jewels. The universal upgrades, such as gemstones and enchantments can be placed on any kind of equipment, and offer less than upgrades for specific equipment. Glyphs can be placed in gathering tools, and provide a variety of bonuses, 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. This will display an overview on the right side of the screen that shows what the expected stats will be after the upgrade, as well as any materials or components required. The Upgrade button at the bottom will show Blocked if you don't have enough of or.
The amount of upgrade components needed for a given item can be seen in the upper-right corner of the Upgrade window. The cost of upgrading increases with the level and rarity of the item increase. However you can cut down on the cost by purchasing upgrades from a merchant or trading them with other players.
Most weapons can be upgraded with a prefix upgrade for example, an insignia or rune, and many are upgraded by suffix upgrades. These upgrades add an adjective to the name of the item for example "Radiant" or "Minor Vigor".
Glyphs
Glyphs can be a powerful tool for communicating visual information. They move to catch the viewer's attention and spur curiosity in the brain. The glyphs' animation mimics body language, which makes them more effective in communicating messages across language barriers. Glyphs can also enhance the retention of a message by evoking an experience of familiarity in the brain.
Each glyph can increase the value of a stat by a specific amount. This is clearly displayed on the item's page when you open it in the Glyph Storage. This is not the exact amount at which glyphs can improve a stat, but the maximum value by which it can do so. The actual value of the glyph is determined by the tier and the quality of the item you're creating it for.
The majority of upgrade components added to 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 hasn't been applied to the gear yet, you can move the item to a different piece by selecting the Upgrade Glyphs 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. This will destroy the item within which it is placed, but you can recover the upgraded item with the glyph and its shards, therefore it should not be considered as a loss.
Adding a glyph to an item can cause it to be unstable, and the shards of the glyph will disappear from your inventory once you take it down. You can also add the glyph on your equipment to provide an additional benefit. For instance the glyph Deferred Damage can store damage for the wearer and distribute it slowly instead of all at once. This is beneficial for players who take many hits from enemies however do not want to be overwhelmed.
Reroll tokens
Reroll tokens are used to alter the affixes that are placed on weapons and equipment. They can be obtained from various sources, such as mysterious boxes and rare drops from skulled monsters or by killing bosses. Each reroll token grants the player a new random affix, which is usually better than the original one. Reroll tokens can also be used to upgrade the weapon's stats to increase damage or bonuses.
Rerolled items don't appear on the menu for item upgrades, but they are still able to be upgraded. By pressing the "upgrade button", you can recycle the items that have been rerolled. This will change the layout of the item's window, and allow up to six items to be selected to recycle. Recycling an item can add a small amount of points to its gauge of level. The amount is by the rarity of the item as well as its level. Therefore, higher-leveled items are more valuable for recycling than lower-leveled ones.
Players can also use Reroll Tokens and Star Remnants to roll rerolling Weapon Traits to upgrade units. A reroll will roll the percentage 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 to upgrade an item, however, players should be aware that it can reduce the total ilvl of the weapon based on the number of rerolls used to raise the weapon to its ultimate ilvl. This lowering effect is most effective for ring items and Diadems that do not have any alternatives to raise their ilvls.
The Reroll system has been criticized by players for being too expensive, and it would be more fair to let people pay for it with money or food items that would allow players to alter their builds without spending too much time and energy. However the paid rerolls aren't something the developers are planning to implement 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 variety of ways to increase the level of an item level upgrade upgrade. The most effective method to level up an upgrade for an item is by increasing the amount of upgrade item. This boosts the value of upgrading any stat. The second is to boost the effect of upgrading, which increases the healing or damage of a particular stat. Additionally there is the possibility to upgrade the base item to an upgrade type. The upgraded item will maintain its iLevel, but have the upgraded effects of the upgraded item.
When you upgrade items it is essential to remember that upgrades are random. In the majority of cases, a better roll will come from the glyphs, but there are also opportunities for higher or more special rolls. Additionally the iLevel of an upgrade will be determined by the type of item upgrader and should you upgrade a rare or unusual item to a unique type, it has a chance to get a higher iLevel.
Upgrades can be expensive Particularly if you're upgrading equipment from the standard track to the legendary. The cost of upgrading a piece of equipment will depend on the base iLevel as well as the amount of upgrade levels. Additionally, certain upgrade tracks require crests in order to get to the next upgrade level.
If you're lucky the upgraded item will be at the highest level on its upgrade track and unlock a bonus effect. This will increase the item upgrader kit's upgrade value. The bonus effect can change with each upgrade level, however. In general, the effect of upgrading is increased a value of +3.
The iLevel can also change in accordance with the item's upgrade path and base level. For instance the weapon that has been upgraded from a unique or rare to an extraordinary item is likely to get the enhanced defense of the new base item type.
