Guild Wars 2 Item Upgrade
The stats of an item can be enhanced by upgrading it, also known as "upping". Each upgrade increment increases a stat linearly.
Players can recycle six items at one time to gauge each item's upgraded component. The cost of recycling an item increases depending on its rarity and.
Upgrade components
A level upgrade in Guild Wars 2 is a process that can boost the effectiveness of your weapon and armor. This can be done through various methods, including using upgrade components as well as upgrading an item's mark level or rarity. A lot of items can be reforged in order to increase their stats.
Upgradable items can be found in the game, both within the world and as rewards for missions. They can also be made by players. The primary method to upgrade equipment is through the use of upgrade components, which are items that can be inserted into equipment. Most equipment comes with upgrade slots, and most require a certain level of upgrade. Some upgrade components give specific bonuses while others provide general bonuses.
There are a variety of upgrade components in the game, such as universal upgrades, inscriptions, and jewels. The universal upgrades, such as gemstones and enchantments, can be placed on any equipment and provide smaller bonuses than upgrades for specific equipment. Glyphs can only be placed in gathering tools and offer various bonuses, from increasing the speed of an item's gathering to providing additional crafting materials.
To upgrade an item, select it from your inventory and open the Upgrade window. This will display a preview on the right side of the screen, showing 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 corner displays the number of upgrade components required for a particular item. The cost of upgrading increases depending on the level of upgrade and rarity, but it can be reduced through a variety of methods, including purchasing upgrades at a merchant or trading them to other players.
The majority of weapons can be upgraded by a prefix such as a rune or an insignia. Some can be improved by adding an suffix. These upgrades change the name of the item and add an adjective, for example "Radiant" or "Minor vigor.' The exceptions are the noninscribable wands, shields and foci from Prophecies and Factions campaigns, which are not upgradeable with any kinds of mods at all.
Glyphs
Glyphs are a way to convey visual information. They move to catch the attention of the viewer and stimulate interest in the brain. The glyphs' animation mimics body language, making them more effective in communicating messages across language barriers. Glyphs also create a sense of familiarity in the brain, thereby increasing retention of the message.
Each glyph has a range of values it can improve a stat by, as shown on 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 the glyph can improve a stat by and not the amount it will actually increase it by. The value of the glyph depends on the tier as well as the quality of the item that you are enchanting.
The majority of upgrade components that are slotted into items cannot be repaired or replaced without removing the gear in question, except for legendary equipment and upgrades. If you have a glyph or rune you don't want to use but it hasn't been incorporated to gear yet, you can move the item to a different piece by selecting the Upgrade Glyphs menu in the Glyphs Panel. This will create an entirely new Glyph Set with the selected glyph.
You can remove a glyph by using a Black Lion Salvage Kit, or an Ascended Salvage tool. This will destroy the item in which it is installed however, you can salvage the upgraded item by using the glyph and its shards so this should not be considered a loss.
Adding a glyph to an item could cause it to become unstable, and the shards of that glyph will disappear from your inventory once you remove the item. upgrade item can also put a glyph on your equipment to give it a bonus. Deferred Damage, for example, can store damage and then be dealt out slowly to the wearer instead of all at once. This can be helpful for players who are taking lots of damage from enemies but don't want to be overwhelmed.
Reroll tokens
Reroll tokens are used to change the affixes on equipment and weapons. They can be obtained from many sources, including mysterious boxes, rare drops from skulled monsters, or by killing bosses. Each reroll gives the player an affix randomly chosen and usually better than what they had before. Reroll tokens can also be a good way to reroll weapon stats that can be upgraded to provide better damage or perks.
Items that have been rerolled will not appear in the item upgrade menu, but they are still eligible to receive upgrades. If you click the "upgrade button" you can recycle the items that have been rerolled. This will change the appearance of the window for the item and let up to six items be selected for recycling. The gauge of level is increased by recycling an item. 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 for upgraded units. A reroll will roll the percentage chance of a weapon trait. If it rolls higher, the weapon is upgraded, and if it rolls lower, it remains the same. Weapons can be upgraded up to three times.
A reroll is a good option for upgrading an item, but players should be aware that it will lower the overall ilvl of the weapon by the number of rerolls needed in order to increase it to the final level. This reduction effect is most effective for ring items and Diadems, which have no alternatives to raise their ilvls.
Players have complained that the reroll system is expensive. It would be fairer to let people pay for it with cash or food items which will allow players to make adjustments to their builds without having to spend too much time. The developers have no plans to implement paid rerolls at this point in the game's development. They're planning to include a potion that will allow players to change their race in the near future.
Leveling
There are a number of ways to boost the value of an upgrade to an item. The first way to level up an upgrade for an item is by increasing the amount of upgrade. This boosts the upgrade value for a stat. The second is to increase the effect of upgrading, which increases the damage or heal of a given stat. In addition you have the option to upgrade the base item to an upgrade type. The upgraded item will maintain its iLevel, but have the upgraded effects of the upgraded item.
It is important to remember that upgrades are not guaranteed. In most cases a better roll is determined by glyphs. However, there are times when a more or unique roll may occur. Additionally, the iLevel of the upgrade will be determined by the type of item and should you upgrade a unique or rare item to an exceptional item type it will have a chance to achieve a higher iLevel.
Upgrades can be costly particularly if you are upgrading your equipment from the standard track to legendary. The price will depend on the item's base iLevel and the number of upgrade levels it comes with. Certain upgrade tracks require crests to be completed in order to move on to the next level.
If you're lucky the upgraded item will 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 will change with each upgrade level. In general, the effect of upgrading is increased a value of +3.
Depending on the item's level of base and upgrade path, the iLevel of the upgraded item will change too. For example, an item that is upgraded from a rare or unique item to an exceptional one can be expected to gain the enhanced defense of the new base item.
