Guild Wars 2 Item Upgrade
The stats of an item are enhanced by upgrading it, also referred to as "upping". Each upgrade increment gives an increase in the linearity of a given stat.
Players can recycle up to six items at once to gain an ability to gauge the level of each of the item's upgraded components. The cost of recycling an item increases 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 in a variety of ways such as using upgrade components or by increasing the rarity of an item or its mark level. Additionally there are many items that can be reforged to boost their stats even more.
You can purchase upgradeable items throughout the game. They are available all over the world as well as rewards for missions. They can also be created by players. The main way to upgrade equipment is by making use of upgrade components which are items that can be inserted into equipment. Most equipment comes with upgrade slots, and the majority require a certain upgrade level. Some upgrade components offer specific bonuses, while other components 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 gemstones and enchantments can be placed on any type of equipment, and offer less than upgrades for specific equipment. Glyphs are only available in gathering tools and provide a variety of bonuses, ranging from increasing the speed of an item's gathering to providing extra crafting materials.
Select the item in your inventory, and then open the Upgrade window. The window will show an overview on the right side of the screen that shows what the expected stats will be after the upgrade, as well as 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 side of the screen shows the amount of upgrade components needed for the specific item. The cost of an upgrade increases depending on the rarity and level of the item. However you can lower this cost by purchasing upgrades from a seller, or trading them with other players.
Most weapons can be improved with a prefix, like a rune or an insignia, and others can be upgraded by adding the suffix. These upgrades include an adjective in the name of the item for example "Radiant" or "Minor Vigor".
Glyphs
Glyphs are a way to convey information via visuals. They animate to capture the viewer's attention and spur interest in the brain. The animation of glyphs mimics the body language, making them more effective in conveying an inter-linguistic message. Glyphs also evoke a sense of familiarity in the brain, increasing retention of the message.
Each glyph can increase the value of a stat by certain range. This is shown on the item's page when you open it in the Glyph Storage. This isn't the actual amount at which the glyph will increase the stat, but rather the maximum value by which it is able to do so. The value of the glyph is contingent on the tier as well as the quality of the item that you are admiring.
The majority of upgrade components installed into items cannot be removed or replaced without removing them, with the exception of legendary equipment and upgrades. However, if you have a rune or glyph that hasn't yet been applied to your equipment, you can transfer it to a different piece equipment by utilizing the Upgrade Glyphs context menu within the Glyphs panel. This will create the new Glyph Set with the selected glyph.
You can remove a glyph by using the Black Lion Salvage Kit, or an Ascended Salvage tool. The item on which the glyph is installed will be destroyed, but the upgraded item can be salvaged using the glyph shards.
If you take an item off after putting a glyph on it, the shards of the glyph will disappear. You can also add a glyph on your equipment to give it a bonus. For instance, the glyph Deferred Damage can store damage for the wearer and then deal it out slowly instead of all at one time. This can be helpful for players who are taking many hits from their enemies but don't want to be overwhelmed.
Reroll tokens
Reroll tokens let players alter the affixes on their weapons and equipment and they can be obtained through a variety of methods, including in mistery boxes, as an uncommon drop from skulled creatures, or by killing bosses. Each reroll token grants players a new random affix, which is usually superior to the original. Reroll tokens can also be used to improve weapon stats for more damage or bonuses.
Rerolled items are not listed in the menu of upgrade options, but they can still be upgraded. Rerolled items can be recycled by pressing the "upgrade" button that alters the appearance of the 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 level, which means higher-level items are more useful to recycle than lower-level ones.
In addition to tokens for rerolls players can also make use of Star Remnants and Reroll Tokens to roll the Weapon Traits of an upgraded unit. Rerolls roll a percentage chance for a weapon's trait. If it scores higher, then the weapon is upgraded. If it is lower the weapon is left as it was. Weapons can be rerolled up to three times.
Rerolling is a great way to upgrade an item. However, players should be aware of the fact that the total ilvl will be diminished by the number of rerolls it took to get it to the final level. This is evident on Rings and Diadems since they have no other options to raise the ilvl.
Some players have complained that the reroll system is too expensive. It's more fair to allow people to pay for it with cash or food items that would allow them to make changes to their builds without spending too much time. The developers have no plans to offer paid rerolls in this stage of the game's development. Instead, they plan to add an ability to change races in the near future.
Leveling
There are a variety of ways to boost the value of an item upgrade . The first is to increase the upgrade amount that increases the value of upgrading a given stat. The second option is to increase the impact of the upgrade, which boosts the damage or healing of an individual stat. Finally you have the option to upgrade the base item to a more powerful upgrade type. When this is done the new item will retain its iLevel however it will be upgraded with the effects of the upgraded item type.
When upgrading items It is crucial to remember that upgrades aren't always planned. In the majority of cases the best roll will be derived from glyphs, however there are also chances for more or unique rolls. The item type will also determine the iLevel. If you upgrade a rare or unique item to a special item type, then it has a chance of getting an upper level.
Upgrading items can be costly, particularly when you're upgrading an item of equipment from the standard to the legendary track. The cost of upgrading an item will depend on its base iLevel as well as the amount of upgrade levels. Additionally, certain upgrade tracks require crests in order to reach the next upgrade level.
If you're lucky the upgraded item could get to the top of its upgrade track and gain an additional benefit. 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 by a number of +3.
Depending on the item's level of base and upgrade process, the iLevel for the upgraded item will change as well. For instance an item that has been upgraded from a rare or unique item to an extraordinary item is likely to gain the Enhanced Defense of the new base item type.
