10 Things We Hate About Item Upgrade

Guild Wars 2 Item Upgrade

The stats of an item can be improved through upgrading it, also referred to as "upping". Each upgrade increment provides an increase in linearity of any stat.

Players can recycle six items at one time to gauge each item's upgraded component. The cost of recycling items scales according to their rarity and level.

Upgrade components

An upgrade for an item in Guild Wars 2 is a process that can increase the effectiveness of your weapon and armor. This can be accomplished by a number of means such as using upgrade components and upgrading an item's mark level or rarity. Additionally to this, many items can be reforged, which can boost their stats even more.

Upgradable items can be found in the game, both in the world and as rewards for missions. They can also be made by players. The main way to upgrade equipment is through the use of upgrade components, which are the items that can be slotted into equipment. The majority of equipment comes with upgrade slots, and the majority require a certain level of upgrade. Some 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. The universal upgrades, such as gemstones and enchantments can be placed on any equipment and provide smaller bonuses than equipment-specific upgrades. Glyphs can only be found in gathering tools. They offer a range of bonuses, ranging from increasing the speed at which an item gathers to providing additional crafting materials.

To upgrade an item, simply select it in your inventory and open the Upgrade window. The preview will appear on the right side of the screen. It will display the expected statistics after the upgrade. If you don't have enough of either the upgrade button will show as Blocked.

The upper-right corner displays the amount of upgrade components needed for a particular item. The price of an upgrade increases with the level and rarity of the item. However you can lower the cost by purchasing upgrades from a merchant, or trading them with other players.

Nearly all weapons can be upgraded with the use of a prefix upgrade, such as an insignia or rune, and many can be upgraded with a suffix upgrade. These upgrades can be used to add an adjective to the item's name like "Radiant" or "Minor Vigor".

Glyphs

Glyphs are a powerful tool for communicating visual information. They are animated to grab the viewer's attention and spur interest in the brain. The animation of glyphs mimics body language, which makes them more effective in communicating a message across linguistic barriers. Glyphs can also increase the recall of a message by evoking an emotional connection in the brain.

Each glyph increases the value of a stat by certain amount. This is displayed on the item's page when you open it in the Glyph Storage. This isn't the exact amount at which glyphs can improve the stat, but rather the maximum amount by which it can do so. The value of the glyph depends on the tier and quality of the product you are enchanting.

Most upgrade components slotted into items are not able to be repaired or replaced without removing the gear in question, unless it is legendary equipment and upgrades. If you have a rune or glyph you don't want to use but it hasn't been applied to gear yet, you can move the item to another piece by using the Upgrade Glyphs menu in the Glyphs Panel. This will create an Glyph Set that includes the selected glyph.

You can take out a glyph by using a Black Lion Salvage Kit, or an Ascended Salvage tool. The item where the glyph is installed will be destroyed, however the upgraded item upgrader kit can be recovered by removing the glyph fragments.

When you take away an item after adding a glyph the shards that are part of the glyph will disappear. You can also put 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 once. This is beneficial for players who take many hits from enemies, but do not want to be overwhelmed.

Reroll tokens

Reroll tokens allow players to alter the affixes they use on their weapons and equipment, and they can be obtained in a variety of ways such as in mistery boxes or as rare drops from skulled creatures, or from killing bosses. Each reroll token grants the player a new random affix, which is usually better than the original one. Reroll tokens are also a good way to reroll weapon stats and can be upgraded for better damage or perks.

Items that have been rerolled do not appear in the item upgrade menu, however they can still receive upgrades. These rerolled items can be recycled by pressing the "upgrade" button that alters the layout of the item upgrader kit window and allows up to six items to be chosen to recycle. The level gauge is boosted by recycling an item. This amount is determined based on the item's rarity as well as its level. Therefore, higher-leveled items are more valuable for upgrade items recycling than those with lower levels.

Players can also make use of Reroll Tokens and Star Remnants to roll rerolling Weapon Traits for upgraded units. Rerolls roll a percentage chance of a weapon's traits. If it rolls higher, then the weapon is upgraded. If it rolls lower the weapon is left as it was. Weapons can be rerolled up to three times.

Rerolls are a great option to upgrade an item, however, players must be aware that it can reduce the overall ilvl the weapon due to the number of rerolls required to raise it to the final level. This lowering effect is most effective with Diadems and ring items that do not have any competing ilvl-raising options.

The system of rerolls has been criticised by players as being too expensive, and it would be more equitable to let players pay for it using money or a food item that would allow them to change their build without spending too much time and effort. The developers aren't planning to introduce paid rerolls at this point in the game's development. They plan to add a potion that will allow players to alter their race in the near future.

Leveling

There are many ways to upgrade an item. The first way to level up an upgrade to an item is to increase the amount of upgrade. This boosts the value of an upgrade for any stat. The second option is to boost the effect of an upgrade, which increases damage or healing for the stat. Additionally there is the possibility to upgrade the base item to a more powerful upgrade type. The upgraded item will maintain its iLevel but be upgraded to reflect the effects of the upgraded item.

When you upgrade items, it is important to keep in mind that upgrades are random. In the majority of cases, a better roll is determined by glyphs. However, there are times where a higher or more special roll may occur. Additionally the iLevel of the upgrade items will be determined by the item level upgrade type which means that if you upgrade a unique or rare item to an exceptional item type it could get an iLevel that is higher.

Upgrades can be costly, especially if you are upgrading your equipment from the standard track to the legendary. The cost of upgrading an item will depend on its base iLevel and upgrade items the number of levels to upgrade. Some upgrade tracks also require crests to reach the next level.

If you're lucky your upgraded item will reach the highest level of its upgrade track and unlock a bonus effect. This will result in a significant increase in the value of the item. The bonus effect can change with each upgrade level however. In general, the upgrade effect is increased a value of +3.

The iLevel will also change depending on the item's upgrade path and its base level. For example an item upgraded from being a scarce or exclusive item to an extraordinary one will have the chance to gain the Enhanced Defense of the new base item.
