Guild Wars 2 Item Upgrade
The stats of an item are improved by upgrading it, also referred to as "upping". Each upgrade increment increases a stat linearly.
Players can recycle up to six items at a time to gain a level gauge for each of the item's upgraded components. The cost of recycling a piece of equipment increases depending on their rarity and level.
Upgrade components
A level upgrade in Guild Wars 2 is a procedure that can improve the stats of your weapon and armor. This can be achieved through various methods such as using upgrade components and upgrading an item's mark level or rarity. A lot of items can be reforged to increase their value.
Upgradable items can be found throughout the game, both within the world and as rewards for missions. Players can also make them. Upgrade components are the primary method to upgrade equipment. These are the items that can slot into equipment. Most equipment comes with upgrade slots, and many require a certain level of upgrade. Certain upgrade components provide specific bonuses, while others offer general bonuses.
There are a variety of upgrade components available in the game. These include universal upgrades, inscriptions and jewels. Universal upgrades, like gemstones and enchantments can be placed on any equipment and offer lower bonuses than upgrades for specific equipment. Glyphs are only available in gathering tools. They provide a variety bonuses, from increasing the speed of an item's gathering to providing additional crafting materials.
To upgrade item upgrading , select it in your inventory, then open the Upgrade window. The preview will appear on the right-hand side of the screen. It will display the expected statistics after the upgrade. The Upgrade button at the bottom will read blocked if you don't have enough of or.
The upper-right corner shows the amount of upgrade components required to create the specific item. The cost of upgrading increases with the level and rarity of the item increase. However, you can reduce the cost of upgrades by purchasing them from a merchant or trading them with other players.
Nearly all weapons can be upgraded by a prefix upgrade, such as an insignia or rune. Many can be upgraded with an upgrade suffix. These upgrades alter the name of the item to add an adjective, like "Radiant" or "Minor Vigor.' The exceptions are the noninscribable wands, shields and foci from Prophecies and Factions campaigns, that cannot be upgraded using any kinds of mods at all.
Glyphs
Glyphs are a way to convey information via visuals. They animate to capture the attention of the viewer and stimulate interest in the brain. The glyphs' animation mimics the body language and makes them more effective in transmitting the message of a language barrier. Glyphs also create a sense of familiarity in the brain, increasing retention of the message.
Each glyph has a range of values 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 the glyph will increase 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 the quality of the item you're in awe of it.
Most upgrade components inserted into items can't be replaced or salvaged without dismantling the equipment in question, with the exception of legendary equipment and upgrades. If, however, you have an unusable rune or glyph that has not yet been added to your equipment, you can transfer it to a different piece 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 wish to remove a glyph from a piece of then you'll need to salvage it using a Black Lion Salvage Kit or Ascended Salvage Tool. The item where the glyph is installed will be destroyed, however the upgraded item can be recovered with the glyph shards.
The addition of a glyph to an item can cause it to become unstable and the shards that are left of that glyph will disappear from your inventory when you remove the item. You can also add an inscription on your equipment to make it more valuable. For instance, the glyph Deferred Damage can store damage for the wearer and distribute it slowly instead of all at one time. This is helpful for players who take a lot damage from enemies but don't want to be overwhelmed.
Reroll tokens
Reroll tokens are used to change the affixes of weapons and other equipment. They can be obtained from many sources, including mystery boxes or rare drops from skulled monsters, or by killing bosses. Each reroll provides the player with a random affix that is typically better than what they had before. Reroll tokens are also a great method to reroll the stats of a weapon, which can be upgraded to increase damage or additional perks.
Items that have been rerolled will not appear in the item upgrade menu, however they are still eligible to receive upgrades. These rerolled items are able to be recycled by pressing the "upgrade" button that alters the appearance of the window and allows up to six items to recycle. The level gauge is boosted by recycling an item. The amount is determined by the rarity of the item as well as its level. Therefore, higher-leveled items are more valuable to recycle than lower-leveled ones.
In addition to reroll tokens, players can make use of Star Remnants and Reroll Tokens to roll the traits of a weapon in an upgraded unit. Rerolls are based on a % chance to determine a weapon's trait. If it is higher, the weapon is upgraded. If it is lower the weapon remains as is. Weapons can be rerolled up to three 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 that it took to reroll it to the final level. This effect is most noticeable on Diadems and Rings, as they have no other options for raising ilvl.
Some players have complained that the reroll system is expensive. It's better to allow people to pay for it with cash or food items, which allows players to make adjustments to their builds without having to spend too much time. The developers have no plans to offer paid rerolls in this stage in the game's development. Instead, they plan to include a race change potion in the future.
Leveling
There are many ways to upgrade an item. The first way to level up an item upgrade is to increase the amount of upgrade. This boosts the value of upgrading any stat. The second option is to increase the effect of an upgrade, which boosts the healing or damage for a stat. The base item can be upgraded to an advanced upgrade type. The new item will retain its iLevel, but will be upgraded to reflect the effects of the upgraded item.
It is crucial to keep in mind that upgrades are random. In the majority of cases the best roll will be derived from glyphs, however there are also opportunities for more or unique rolls. Additionally the iLevel of an upgrade will be determined by the item type which means that if you upgrade a rare or unique item to a unique type you will have a chance to get a higher iLevel.
Upgrades can be costly particularly if you are upgrading gear from the standard track to the legendary. The price will depend on the item's iLevel base and the number of upgrade levels it offers. Certain upgrade tracks require crests in order to get to the next level.
If you're lucky, your upgraded item may attain the highest level on its upgrade track and unlock an additional effect. This will increase the item's upgrade value. The bonus effect changes with each upgrade level. In general, the upgrade effect is increased by a value of +3.
Based on the item's base level and upgrade route, the iLevel of the upgraded item will change too. For example an item upgraded from being a scarce or unique item to an exceptional one can be expected to gain the Enhanced Defence of the new base item.
