Upgrade components
In Guild Wars 2, an item upgrade is a way to increase the stats of your weapons and armor. This can be done through various methods such as using upgrade components as well as increasing an item's mark level or rarity. In addition, many items can be reforged, which can boost their stats even more.
There are items that can be upgraded throughout the game. They are available all over the world as well as rewards for missions. Players can also craft them. The most common method of upgrading equipment is by making use of upgrade components which are components that can be slotted into equipment. The majority of equipment comes with upgrade slots, and many require a certain level of upgrade. Certain upgrade components provide specific bonuses, while others offer an overall bonus.
There are a variety of upgrade elements available in the game. These include universal upgrades, inscriptions, and jewels. Universal upgrades, like gems and enchantments, can be put on any equipment and provide smaller bonuses than upgrades that are specific to equipment. Glyphs are only available in gathering tools, and provide a variety of benefits, from increasing the speed of an item's gathering to providing additional crafting materials.
To upgrade an item, simply select it in your inventory and open the Upgrade window. The preview will appear on the right hand side of the screen. It will show the expected stats after the upgrade. The Upgrade button at the bottom will be labeled as Blocked if you don't have enough of or.
The upper-right side of the screen shows the number of upgrade components required to create the specific item. The cost of upgrading increases depending on the rarity and level of the item increases. However you can cut down on this cost by purchasing upgrades from a merchant or trading them with other players.
The majority of weapons can be upgraded by adding a prefix, such as a rune or an insignia. Other weapons can be improved with the suffix. These upgrades change the name of the item, adding an adjective, for example "Radiant" or "Minor vigor. There are some exceptions, however. the non-inscribable weapons, such as shields and foci from the Prophecies and Factions campaigns, that cannot be upgraded using any kinds of mods in any way.
Glyphs
Glyphs are a way to convey visual information. They animate in order to grab the attention of the viewer and spark curiosity. The animation of glyphs resembles the body language, making them more effective in communicating an inter-linguistic message. Glyphs also evoke a sense of familiarity in the brain, which increases retention of the message.
Each glyph comes with a range of values that it can improve a stat by in the form of an item when you open the glyph in the Glyph Storage or when you use it to enchant an Artifact. This range is not the actual amount by which glyphs can improve a stat, but the maximum value by which it can increase a stat. The value of the glyph will depend on the tier and quality of the product you are enchanting.
The majority of upgrade components that are installed into items cannot be removed or replaced without dismantling them except for legendary equipment and upgrades. If you have a rune or glyph you do not want to use, but it hasn't been incorporated to gear yet, you can move the item to a different piece by using the Upgrade Glyphs menu in the Glyphs Panel. This will create a new Glyph Set with the selected glyph.
If you are looking to remove a glyph from a piece of, you will 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, but the upgraded item can be retrieved with the glyph shards.
When you take away an item after putting a glyph on it, the shards from the glyph will disappear. You can also put a glyph on your equipment to give it a bonus. Deferred Damage, for example can store damage, and then be dealt slowly to the wearer rather than all at one time. This is beneficial for players who suffer lots of damage from enemies but don't want to be overwhelmed.
Reroll tokens
Reroll tokens are used to alter the affixes that are placed on weapons and other equipment. They can be obtained from various sources, such as mystery boxes and rare drops from skulled monsters, or by killing bosses. Each reroll gives the player an affix randomly chosen and typically better than what they had prior to. 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 can still receive upgrades. Rerolled items can be recycled by pressing the "upgrade" button, which changes the appearance of the window and allows up to six items to be selected to recycle. Recycling an item adds a small amount of points to its level gauge. This amount is determined by the rarity of the item and its level, therefore items with higher levels are more valuable to recycle than lower-level ones.
Players can also use Reroll Tokens and Star Remnants to reroll Weapon Traits to upgrade units. A reroll will roll the percentage chance of a particular weapon trait; if it rolls higher, the weapon is upgraded, and if it is lower, the weapon remains unchanged. Weapons can be upgraded up to three times.
Rerolling is a great option to upgrade an item. However, players must be aware of the fact that the total ilvl will be decreased by the number of that it took to reroll it to the final level. This lowering effect is most effective with Diadems and ring items, which have no other options for raising ilvls.
The reroll system has been criticized by players for being too expensive, and it would be more reasonable to let players pay for it in the form of money or a food item that would allow them to change their build without wasting time and effort. However the paid rerolls aren't something the developers want to incorporate at this point in the game's development. They are planning to add a potion that will allow players to change their race in the near future.
Leveling
There are a number of ways to level up an upgrade to an item. The first is to increase the amount of upgrade, which increases the value of an upgrade for any stat. The second option is to boost the impact of the upgrade, which boosts damage or healing for the stat. The base item can be upgraded to an advanced upgrade type. When this is done the new item will keep its iLevel however it will benefit from the upgrade effects of the upgraded type of item.
It is important to remember that upgrades are random. In the majority of cases the chance of a better roll will come from the glyphs, however there are also chances for greater or special rolls. Additionally, the iLevel of the upgrade will be determined by the item type, so should you upgrade a unique or rare item to an extraordinary type you could get an increased iLevel.
Upgrades can be costly particularly if you are upgrading gear from the standard track to the legendary. The cost of upgrading an item will be contingent on the base iLevel as well as the number of upgrade levels. item upgrading require crests to reach the next level.
If you're fortunate the upgraded item could attain the highest level on its upgrade track, and thus unlock an additional benefit. This will give the item a significant upgrade value. The bonus effect will vary with each upgrade level however. In general, the effect of upgrading is increased a value of +3.
The iLevel can also change according to the upgrade path and base level. For example the weapon that has been upgraded from a rare or unique item to an exceptional item will be able to be upgraded to the Enhanced Defense of the base item type.
