Guild Wars 2 Item Upgrade
The process of upgrading an item, often called "upping," improves an item's stats. Each upgrade increment results in a linear increase in the stats of a particular.
Players can recycle up to six items at a time in order to gain an ability to gauge the level of each of the item's upgraded components. The cost of recycling a piece of equipment increases depending on their rarity and level.
Upgrade components
A level upgrade in Guild Wars 2 is a process that can increase the effectiveness of your weapons and armor. This can be done through many different methods that include the use of upgrade components and also upgrading an item's mark levels or rarity. Additionally there are many items that can be reforged, which can boost their stats even more.
You can purchase upgradeable items throughout the game. They are available throughout all over the world and are rewards for missions. They can also be created by players. Upgrade components are the main method of upgrading equipment. These are the items that can slot into equipment. The majority of equipment comes with upgrade slots, and many require a certain level of upgrade. Some upgrade components give specific bonuses while others provide an overall bonus.
There are a variety of upgrade components available in the game, such as universal upgrades, inscriptions and jewels. Universal upgrades, like gemstones and enchantments can be placed on any equipment, and offer less than equipment-specific upgrades. Glyphs can be placed in gathering tools and offer numerous benefits, from increasing the speed at which an item gathers to providing additional crafting materials.
Choose the item from your inventory, 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. The Upgrade button at the bottom will read Blocked if you do not have enough of either.
The upper-right corner displays the amount of upgrade components required for an item. The cost of upgrading increases depending on the upgrade level and rarity, however it can be reduced using a variety of methods, including purchasing upgrades at a merchant or trading them with other players.
Most weapons can be upgraded by an upgrade to a prefix like an insignia or rune. Many can be upgraded using a suffix upgrade. These upgrades add an adjective to the name of the item, such as "Radiant" or "Minor Vigor".
Glyphs
Glyphs are a way to communicate visual information. They move to catch the attention of the viewers and trigger interest in the brain. The animation of glyphs mimics body language, which makes them more effective at conveying the message across linguistic barriers. Glyphs also improve the likelihood of remembering messages by creating an experience of familiarity in the brain.
Each glyph has a range of values that it could increase a stat's value in the form of an 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 actually improves the stat by. 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 can't be repaired or replaced without dismantling 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 incorporated into 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 a new Glyph Set with the selected glyph.
You can take out any glyph with the help of the Black Lion Salvage Kit, or an Ascended Salvage tool. The item on which the glyph is located will be destroyed, but the upgraded item can be recovered by removing the glyph fragments.
If you take an item off after adding a glyph the shards from the glyph will disappear. You can also place an inscription on your equipment to increase its value. Deferred Damage, for example can store damage, and then be dealt out slowly to the wearer instead of all at one time. This is beneficial for those who take a lot of damage from their enemies, but do not want to be overwhelmed.
Reroll tokens
Reroll tokens let players alter the affixes on their weapons and equipment, and can be found through a variety of methods such as in mistery boxes or as rare drops from skulled creatures, or from killing bosses. Each reroll provides the player with an unspecified affix, which is generally better than the one they had prior to. Reroll tokens can be used to boost the weapon's stats to increase damage or bonuses.
Items that have been rerolled may not appear in the item upgrade menu, however they can still receive upgrades. If you click the "upgrade button" you can recycle these recycled items. This will alter the appearance of the window for the item and let up to six items be selected for recycling. Recycling an item can add a small amount of points to its gauge of level. The amount is by the rarity of the item and its level. Therefore, higher-leveled items are more valuable to recycle than those with lower levels.
In addition to reroll tokens players can also use Star Remnants and Reroll Tokens to roll the weapon traits of an upgraded unit. Rerolls roll the % chance of a weapon trait. If it is higher, the weapon will be upgraded. If it is lower, the weapon remains unchanged. Weapons can be repeated up to three times.
A reroll is a good option to upgrade an item, but users must be aware that it can lower the overall ilvl of the weapon by the number of rerolls used to increase it to its final ilvl. This reduction effect is most effective for ring items and Diadems that do not have any alternatives to raise their ilvls.
The system of rerolls has been criticised by players as being too expensive, and it would be more fair to let people pay for it using money or a food item which would allow players to alter their build without a lot of time and effort. However, paid rerolls are not something the developers are planning to implement at this time in the game's development. They are planning to add an ingredient that allows players to alter their race in the future.
Leveling
There are a number of ways to boost the value of an upgrade to an item. The most effective method to level up an upgrade for an item is by increasing the amount of upgrade. This boosts the value of upgrading the stat. The second is to increase the upgrade effect that increases the damage or heal of a particular stat. The base item can be upgraded to a more advanced upgrade type. After this the new item will keep its iLevel, but will benefit from the upgrade effects of the upgraded item type.
It is important to remember that upgrades are random. In most cases the best roll will be derived from glyphs, but there are also opportunities for higher or more special rolls. The type of the item will determine the iLevel. If you upgrade a rare or unique item to a specific kind of item, it's likely to receiving an additional level.
Upgrades to items can be costly especially when you're upgrading a piece of equipment from a standard to the legendary track. The cost will depend on the item's iLevel base and the amount of upgrade levels it comes with. Additionally, certain upgrade tracks require crests to get to the next upgrade level.
If you're lucky, your upgraded item will be at the highest level of its upgrade track, and will unlock an additional bonus effect. This will provide the item with a significant upgrade value. 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 base level and its upgrade route, the iLevel of the upgraded item will change too. For instance, a weapon that is upgraded from a rare or exclusive item to a rare or exceptional item will have a chance to gain the Enhanced Defense of the new base item type.
