Guild Wars 2 Item Upgrade Item upgrade, commonly referred to as “upping,” improves an item's stats. Each upgrade increment increases the stat linearly. Players can recycle up to six items at once to gain a level gauge for each of the item's upgraded components. The cost of recycling items increases with their rarity and item level. Upgrade components In Guild Wars 2, an upgrade of an item can be a method to increase the stats on your armor and weapons. This can be achieved through a variety of methods such as using upgrade components or by increasing the rarity of an item or its mark level. Many items can also be reforged to boost their value. Upgradable items can be found all over the game, both within the world and as rewards for missions. Players can also craft them. Upgrade components are the most common method to upgrade equipment. These are the items that can slot into equipment. Most equipment has slots to upgrade and some require a certain amount of upgrade. Some upgrade components give specific bonuses, while others offer a general bonus. 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 put on any kind of equipment and provide smaller bonuses than upgrades that are specific to equipment. Glyphs are only available in gathering tools. They offer a range of bonuses, ranging from boosting the speed at which an item gathers to providing additional crafting materials. Choose the item from your inventory, and then open the Upgrade window. The preview will appear on the right hand side of the screen. It will show the expected statistics after the upgrade. If you don't possess enough of either the upgrade button will say Blocked. The number of upgrade components required for a specific item is displayed in the upper-right corner of the Upgrade window. The cost of upgrading increases depending on the level of upgrade and rarity, however it can be reduced by a variety of methods, such as buying upgrades from a vendor or trading them with other players. Many weapons can be improved with a prefix, like a rune or an insignia, and others can be enhanced with a suffix. These upgrades change the name of the item and add an adjective, for example “Radiant” or “Minor vigor. There are some exceptions, however. the noninscribable wands, shields and foci from Prophecies and Factions campaigns, which cannot be upgraded with any mods in any way. Glyphs Glyphs can be a powerful tool to communicate visual information. They move to catch the viewer's attention and spur curiosity in the brain. The animation of glyphs mimics body language, making them even more effective at conveying the message across linguistic barriers. Glyphs can also enhance the likelihood of remembering a message by evoking an emotional connection in the brain. Each glyph has a set of values it can enhance a stat according to the item when you open the glyph in the Glyph Storage or when you use them to enchant an artifact. This is the maximum value that a glyph can improve a stat by, not the amount that it will actually increase the stat by. The actual value of the glyph is determined by the quality and tier of the item you're enchanting it to. The majority of upgrade components that are slotted into items cannot be repaired or replaced without removing the gear in question, with the exception of legendary equipment and upgrades. If, however, you have an unusable rune or glyph that hasn't yet been added to your equipment, you can transfer it to a different piece gear by using the Upgrade Glyphs context menu in the Glyphs panel. This will create an entirely new Glyph Set with the selected glyph. If you are looking to remove a glyph from a piece of then you'll need to save it using 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. When you take away an item after putting a glyph on it, the shards of that glyph will disappear. You can also place an inscription on your equipment to make it more valuable. For example the glyph Deferred Damage can store damage for the wearer and then deal it out slowly 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 of weapons and other equipment. They can be obtained from many sources, including mysterious boxes and rare drops from skulled monsters or by killing bosses. Reroll tokens give players a new random affix, which is typically better than the original one. Reroll tokens can also be used to upgrade the weapon's stats to increase damage or bonuses. Items that have been rerolled will not appear in the item upgrade menu, but they can still receive upgrades. When you press the “upgrade button” you can recycle these items that have been rerolled. This will change the layout of the item's window and let up to six items to be chosen for recycling. Recycling an item adds a small amount of points to its level gauge. The amount is determined by the item's rarity as well as its level, which means items with higher levels are more useful to recycle than lower-level ones. Players can also use Reroll Tokens and Star Remnants to reroll Weapon Traits to upgrade units. Rerolls roll the % chance of a particular weapon trait. If it is higher, the weapon will be upgraded, and if it rolls lower, it remains the same. Weapons can be upgraded up to three times. Rerolling is a great method to improve an item. However, players must be aware that the total ilvl is decreased by the number of rerolls it took to get it to the final ilvl. This reduction effect is most effective on Diadems and ring items, which have no other options for raising ilvls. The system of rerolls has been criticised by players for being too expensive, and it would be more reasonable to let players pay for it in the form of money or food items that allows players to alter their build without a lot of time and energy. The developers do not plan to implement paid rerolls at this stage in the game's development. They're planning to include the ability for players to alter their race in the near future. Leveling There are many ways to upgrade an item. The first is to increase the amount of upgrade which boosts the value of upgrading a given stat. The second is to boost the effect of upgrading, which increases the damage or heal of a given stat. Finally there is the possibility to upgrade the base item to an upgrade type. The new item will retain its iLevel, but will be upgraded to reflect the effects of the upgraded item. When you upgrade items it is essential to remember that upgrades are not guaranteed. In most cases, a better roll will be derived from glyphs, but there are also opportunities for more or unique rolls. The type of item will determine the iLevel. If you upgrade a unique or rare item to a unique item type, it has a chance of gaining a higher level. Upgrades can be expensive particularly if you are upgrading equipment from the standard track to legendary. The cost of upgrading a piece of equipment will depend on the base iLevel and the number of upgrade levels. In addition, some upgrade tracks require crests in order to reach the next upgrade level. If you're lucky your upgraded item will reach the maximum level of its upgrade track and unlock a bonus effect. This will result in a significant boost in the upgrade value of the item. The bonus effect can change with each upgrade level though. In general, the upgrade effect is increased a value of +3. The iLevel will also change depending on the item's upgrade path and base level. For instance the weapon that has been upgraded from a rare or unique item to an exceptional item is likely to gain the Enhanced Defense of the new base item type.
