Guild Wars 2 Item Upgrade Item upgrade, also referred to as “upping,” improves an item's stats. Each upgrade increment results in an increase in the linearity of a given stat. Players can recycle six items at a time to gain a gauge for the upgraded component of each item. The cost of recycling an item increases with its rarity and level. Upgrade components A level upgrade in Guild Wars 2 is a procedure that can improve the stats of your armor and weapons. This can be accomplished by a number of means, including using upgrade components as well as increasing an item's mark level or rarity. In addition to this, many items can be reforged, which can increase their stats. Upgradable items can be found in the game, both around the world and as rewards for missions. Players can also craft them. The main way to upgrade gear is through the use of upgrade components, which are the items that can be inserted into equipment. Most equipment has slots to upgrade, and many require a specific level of upgrade. Some upgrade components provide specific bonuses, while others offer general bonuses. There are many types of upgrade elements available in the game. These include universal upgrades, inscriptions, and jewels. Universal upgrades, like gems and enchantments, can be placed on any equipment and provide smaller bonuses than equipment-specific upgrades. Glyphs can only be placed in gathering tools, and provide numerous benefits, from increasing the speed at which an item gathers to providing extra crafting materials. Select the item in your inventory, then open the Upgrade window. The window will show a preview on the right side of the screen, showing the expected stats after the upgrade, and any necessary components or materials. The Upgrade button at the bottom will read Blocked if you don't have enough of either. The number of upgrade components needed for a given item is displayed in the upper-right corner of the Upgrade window. The cost of upgrading increases as the level and rarity of the item increases. However, you can reduce this cost by purchasing upgrades from a merchant or trading them with other players. Almost all weapons can be upgraded using an upgrade to a prefix for example, an insignia or a rune, and a lot of them are upgraded by a suffix upgrade. These upgrades can be used to add an adjective to the item's name for example “Radiant” or “Minor Vigor”. Glyphs Glyphs are a powerful tool for communicating visual information. They are animated to grab the viewer's attention and spur curiosity in the brain. The animation of glyphs resembles body language, making them even more effective in conveying the message across linguistic barriers. Glyphs also improve the retention of the message by triggering a familiarity in the brain. Each glyph increases a stat's value by a certain amount. This is clearly displayed on the item, when you open it in the Glyph Storage. This is not the exact amount at which glyphs can improve a stat, but the maximum amount by which it can increase a stat. The actual value of the glyph is determined by the tier and quality of the item you are in awe of it. The majority of upgrade components that are added to items cannot be removed or replaced without removing them except for legendary upgrades and equipment. If, however, you have a non-useful rune or glyph that has not yet been applied to your equipment, you can transfer it to a different piece of equipment by using the Upgrade Glyphs context menu on the Glyphs panel. This will create an entirely new Glyph Set with the selected glyph. If you want to remove a glyph from an item then you'll need to save it using the help of a Black Lion Salvage Kit or Ascended Salvage Tool. The item where the glyph is placed will be destroyed, however the upgraded item can be retrieved by removing the glyph fragments. If you take an item off after adding a glyph the shards of the glyph will disappear. You can also add the glyph to your equipment to give it a bonus. Deferred Damage, for example can be used to store damage and then be dealt out slowly to the wearer rather than all at one time. This can be helpful for players who are taking a lot of damage from enemies but don't want to be overwhelmed. Reroll tokens Reroll tokens permit players to alter the affixes on their equipment and weapons, and they can be obtained through a variety of methods like mistery boxes, as an uncommon drop from skulled creatures, or by killing bosses. Reroll tokens give the player a brand new random affix, which is typically better than the original one. Reroll tokens can also be used to improve weapon stats to cause more damage or bonuses. Rerolled items do not appear in the menu of upgrade options, but they can be upgraded. These rerolled items can be recycled by pressing the “upgrade” button which alters the layout of the item window and allows up to six items to be selected to recycle. Recycling an item can add a small amount of points to its level gauge. This amount is determined by the item's rarity and its own level, so higher-level items are more useful 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 roll a percentage chance of a weapon's traits. If it scores higher, the weapon is upgraded. If it is lower, the weapon remains unchanged. Weapons can be repeated up to three times. Rerolling is a fantastic option to upgrade an item. However, players should be aware of the fact that the total ilvl is decreased by the number of that it took to reroll it to the final ilvl. This lowering effect is most effective with Diadems and ring items, which have no competing ilvl-raising options. The Reroll system has been criticized by players for being too expensive, and it would be more reasonable to let players pay for it using money or a food item that allows them to change their build without wasting time and effort. The developers have no plans to implement paid rerolls at this point in the game's development. They're planning to include an ingredient that allows players to alter their race in the near future. Leveling There are many ways to increase the level of an upgrade to an item. The first method of leveling up an upgrade for 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 can increase the healing or damage for an individual stat. The base item can be upgraded to an advanced upgrade type. The upgraded item will keep its iLevel, but will have the upgraded effects of the upgraded item. It is crucial to keep in mind that upgrades are not guaranteed. In most cases, a better roll will be derived from glyphs, but there are also possibilities for higher or more special rolls. Additionally the iLevel of an upgrade will be determined by the item type which means that should you upgrade a rare or unusual item to an exceptional item type, it has a chance to achieve a higher iLevel. Upgrading items can be costly, particularly when you're upgrading a piece of equipment from a standard to legendary track. The cost of upgrading an item will depend on the base iLevel and the amount of upgrade levels. Additionally, certain upgrade tracks require crests to get to the next upgrade level. If you're fortunate the upgraded item could reach the maximum level on its upgrade track and gain an additional benefit. This will result in a significant increase in the value of the item. The bonus effect changes with each upgrade level. In general, the effect of upgrading is increased a value of +3. Based on the item's base level and upgrade process, the iLevel for the upgraded item will also change. For no title that has been upgraded from a rare or exclusive item to an exceptional item will have a chance to be upgraded to the Enhanced Defense of the new base item type.
