Guild Wars 2 Item Upgrade
The process of upgrading an item, often known as "upping," improves an item's stats. Each upgrade increment increases the stat linearly.
Players can recycle six items at one time to get a gauge of each item's upgraded component. The cost of recycling an item varies according to its rarity and.
Upgrade components
An upgrade for an item in Guild Wars 2 is a procedure that can improve the effectiveness of your weapons and armor. This can be accomplished by a variety of methods, including by using upgrade components or increasing the rarity of an item or its mark level. Many items can also be reforged to boost their value.
There are items that can be upgraded throughout the game. They are available in all over the world and are rewards for missions. They can also be crafted by players. Upgrade components are the most common method of upgrading equipment. These are the items that can slot into equipment. The majority of equipment comes with slots to upgrade, and many require a certain amount of upgrade. Some upgrade components offer specific bonuses, while others offer an overall bonus.
There are many types of upgrade elements in the game, including universal upgrades, inscriptions, and jewels. Universal upgrades, such as gems and enchantments, are able to be put in any kind of equipment and provide smaller bonuses than those that are type specific to the type of equipment. Glyphs are only available in gathering tools. They offer a range of bonuses, from increasing the speed of an item's gathering to supplying additional crafting materials.
Choose the item from your inventory, then open the Upgrade window. The window will show a preview on the right side of the screen, showing what the expected stats are after the upgrade, as well as any required components or materials. The Upgrade button at the bottom will read Blocked if you don't have enough of either.
The upper-right corner displays the number of upgrade components needed for an item. The price of an upgrade increases as the level and rarity of the item. However you can cut down on this cost by purchasing upgrades from a vendor, or trading them with other players.
Almost all weapons can be upgraded using a prefix upgrade, such as an insignia or rune, and many can be upgraded with suffix upgrades. These upgrades can be used to add an adjective to the item's name for example "Radiant" or "Minor Vigor".
Glyphs
Glyphs can be a powerful tool to communicate visual information. They move to grab the attention of the viewer and entice curiosity. The glyphs' animation mimics body language, which makes them more effective in conveying messages across language barriers. Glyphs can also increase the recall of messages by creating a familiarity in the brain.
Each glyph increases the value of a stat by certain amount. This is displayed on the item when you open it in the Glyph Storage. This isn't the actual amount at which glyphs can improve a stat, but the maximum value by which it can do so. The value of the glyph will depend on the tier as well as the quality of the item you are admiring.
The majority of upgrade components that are added to items cannot be removed or replaced without removing them, with the exception of legendary equipment and upgrades. If, however, you have an unusable rune or glyph that has not yet been applied to your equipment, you can transfer it to a different piece equipment by using the upgrade Glyphs context menu in the Glyphs panel. item upgrades will create an entirely new Glyph Set with the selected glyph.
If you are looking to remove a glyph from an item then you'll need to save it using the help of a Black Lion Salvage Kit or Ascended Salvage Tool. This will cause the item to be destroyed that it was installed in however, you can salvage the upgraded item by using the glyph and its fragments, therefore it should not be considered a loss.
When item upgrades take away an item after adding a glyph, the shards from the glyph will disappear. You can also apply a glyph to your equipment to add a bonus. Deferred Damage, for example, can store damage and then be dealt slowly to the wearer instead of all at one time. This is helpful for players who take a lot damage from their enemies but do not want to be overwhelmed.
Reroll tokens
Reroll tokens permit players to change the affixes of their weapons and equipment, and they can be obtained in a variety of ways, including in mistery boxes or as an uncommon drop from skulled creatures, or by killing bosses. Each reroll token gives the player a brand new random affix, which is usually superior to the one they had before. Reroll tokens can be used to boost weapon stats to cause more damage or bonuses.
Items that have been rerolled may not appear in the upgrade menu, however, they still qualify to receive upgrades. By pressing the "upgrade button" you can recycle these recycled items. This will alter the layout of the item's window and let up to six items be selected to recycle. Recycling an item adds a small amount of points to its gauge of level. The amount is based on the item's rarity and its level. Therefore, items that are higher level are more valuable for recycling than those with lower levels.
In addition to tokens for rerolls players can also make use of Star Remnants and Reroll Tokens to reroll the traits of a weapon in an upgraded unit. Rerolls roll a percentage chance for a weapon's trait. If it scores higher, the weapon is upgraded. If it is lower the weapon remains as is. Weapons can be upgraded up to three times.
Rerolls are a good option to upgrade an item, but players should be aware that it can lower the overall ilvl of the weapon based on the number of rerolls used to increase it to the final level. This effect is most noticeable on rings and Diadems, since they have no other options for raising ilvl.
The reroll system has been criticized by players for being too expensive, and it would be more equitable to let players pay for it in the form of money or a food item that allows them to change their build without a lot of time and effort. However paying for rerolls is not something that the developers would like to implement at this point in the game's development. They are planning to add the ability for players to change their race in the future.
Leveling
There are a variety of ways to boost the value of an item upgrade. The first way to level up an item upgrade is to increase the upgrade amount. This boosts the value of an upgrade for any stat. The second is to increase the effect of an upgrade, which increases the damage or heal of a given stat. The base item can be upgraded to a more advanced upgrade type. After this, the new item will retain its iLevel, but will have the upgrade effects of the upgraded item type.
It is crucial to keep in mind that upgrades are random. Most of the time, a higher roll is based on the glyphs. However there are instances where a higher or more special roll can occur. In addition, the iLevel of the upgrade will be determined by the type of item and when you upgrade a rare or unusual item to an exceptional item type it could achieve a higher iLevel.
Upgrading items can be costly especially if you're upgrading a piece of equipment from a standard to legendary track. The cost of upgrading an item will depend on the base iLevel as well as the number of upgrade levels. Certain upgrade tracks require crests in order to get to the next level.
If you're lucky, your upgraded item will be at the highest level on its upgrade track and unlock an additional bonus effect. This will give you a substantial boost in the upgrade value of the item. The bonus effect will change with each upgrade level however. In general the upgrade effect is increased by a number of +3.
Based on the item's level of base and upgrade route, the iLevel of the upgraded item will also change. For example the weapon that has been upgraded from a unique or rare to an exceptional item will be able to be upgraded to the Enhanced Defense of the new base type of item.
