Guild Wars 2 Item Upgrade
The process of upgrading an item, often referred to as "upping," improves an item's stats. Each upgrade increment boosts the 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 an item scales according to its rarity and.
Upgrade components
An item upgrade in Guild Wars 2 is a procedure that can improve the effectiveness of your armor and weapons. This can be achieved through a number of means, including using upgrade components and upgrading an item's mark level or rarity. Additionally, many items can be reforged, which can boost their stats even more.
You can find upgradeable items throughout the game. They are available in all over the world, as well as rewards for missions. Players can also make them. Upgrade components are the most common way to upgrade equipment. These are the items that slot into equipment. The majority of equipment comes with slots to upgrade and some require a certain amount of upgrade. Certain upgrade components offer specific bonuses while others give general bonuses.
There are a variety of upgrade elements available in the game. These include universal upgrades, inscriptions and jewels. Universal upgrades, like gemstones and enchantments, can be used in any kind of equipment and offer less bonuses than those that are equipment type specific to the type of equipment. Glyphs are only available in gathering tools. They offer a variety of bonuses, from increasing the speed at which an item gathers to providing additional crafting materials.
Choose the item from your inventory, and then open the Upgrade window. This will display an overview on the right side of the screen, showing the expected stats after the upgrade, along with any required components or materials. The Upgrade button at the bottom will be labeled as blocked if you don't have enough of or.
The upper-right corner displays the number of upgrade components required for the specific item. The cost of an upgrade increases with the level and rarity of the item increases. However, you can reduce the cost of upgrades by purchasing them from a seller, or trading them with other players.
The majority of weapons can be upgraded by a prefix like a rune or an insignia, and others can be enhanced with a suffix. These upgrades add an adjective to the name of the item like "Radiant" or "Minor Vigor".
Glyphs
Glyphs are a way to convey information via visuals. They move to catch the attention of the viewers and trigger interest in the brain. The glyphs' animation mimics body language, making them more effective at conveying the message across linguistic barriers. Glyphs also evoke a sense of familiarity in the brain, which increases retention of the message.
Each glyph can increase the value of a stat by certain range. This is shown on the item when you open it in the Glyph Storage. This isn't the actual amount by which glyphs can improve a stat, but the maximum amount it can increase a stat. The actual value of the glyph is determined by the quality and tier of the item you're enchanting it to.
Most upgrade components inserted into items cannot be replaced or salvaged without removing the gear in question, with the exception of legendary equipment and upgrades. However, if you have a rune or glyph that hasn't yet been added to your gear, you can move it to a different piece of gear by using the upgrade Glyphs context menu within the Glyphs panel. This will create an entirely new Glyph Set with the selected glyph.
If you wish to remove the glyph from an item you must save it using the help of a Black Lion Salvage Kit or Ascended Salvage Tool. This will destroy the item within which it is placed, but you can recover the upgraded item by using the glyph and its shards so this should not be considered a loss.
A glyph added to an item can cause it to be unstable, and the shards of that glyph will disappear from your inventory when you remove the item. You can also add the glyph to your equipment to give it an extra benefit. For instance, the glyph Deferred Damage can store damage for the wearer and deal it slowly instead of all at one time. This is beneficial for players who suffer a lot damage from their enemies but do not want to be overwhelmed.
Reroll tokens
Reroll tokens are used to change the affixes that are placed on weapons and other equipment. They can be obtained from many sources, such as mysterious boxes, rare drops from skulled monsters, or by killing bosses. Each reroll token gives players a new random affix, which is typically superior to the original. Reroll tokens are also a good way to reroll weapon stats that can be upgraded to provide better damage or other perks.
Rerolled items don't appear in the menu of upgrade options, however they can be upgraded. When you press the "upgrade button" you can recycle these items that have been rerolled. This will alter the appearance of the window for the item and let 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 determined based on the item's rarity and also its level. Therefore, items that are higher level are more valuable for recycling than items with lower levels.
In addition to tokens for rerolls, players can make use of Star Remnants and Reroll Tokens to reroll the traits of a weapon in an upgraded unit. Rerolls will roll a % chance of a weapon's traits. If it is higher, then the weapon is upgraded. If it is lower the weapon remains as is. Weapons can be repeatedly rolled 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 diminished by the number of that it took to reroll it to the final ilvl. This is evident on Rings and Diadems as they have no other options to raise the ilvl.
The reroll system has been criticized by players for being expensive and it's more equitable to let players pay for it in the form of money or food items which would allow players to alter their builds without a lot of time and energy. The developers have no plans to introduce paid rerolls at this point in the game's development. Instead, they're planning add an option to change the race in the future.
Leveling
There are item upgrades of ways to boost the value of an upgrade to an item. The first is to increase the upgrade amount that increases the value of an upgrade for any stat. The second option is to increase the effect of the upgrade, which increases the damage or healing of an individual stat. The base item can be upgraded to a more advanced upgrade type. The upgraded item will maintain its iLevel, but will have the upgraded effects of the upgraded item.
When upgrading items it is essential to remember that upgrades aren't always planned. In the majority of cases, a better roll is determined by glyphs. However there are instances when a more or unique roll could occur. The type of the item will determine the iLevel. If you upgrade a rare or exclusive item to a unique item type, it is likely to receiving an upper level.
Upgrades to items can be costly especially when you're upgrading an item of gear from the normal to legendary track. The price will depend on the item's base iLevel and the amount of upgrade levels it offers. Additionally, certain upgrade tracks require crests in order to reach the next upgrade level.
If you're lucky the upgraded item will reach the highest level on its upgrade track and gain a bonus effect. This will result in a significant boost in the upgrade value of the item. The bonus effect will change with each upgrade level. In general, the effect of upgrading is increased by +3.
Based on the item's base level and upgrade route, the iLevel of the upgraded item will change as well. For example, a weapon that is upgraded from a rare or unique item to an extraordinary item is likely to get the enhanced defense of the new base type of item.
