Players can recycle six items at a time to gauge the upgraded component of each item. The cost of recycling an item scales according to its rarity and.
Upgrade components
An item upgrade in Guild Wars 2 is a process that can boost the effectiveness of your weapons and armor. This can be achieved in a variety of ways such as using upgrade components or increasing the rarity or mark level. Additionally there are many items that can be reforged, which can increase their stats.
There are items that can be upgraded throughout the game. They are available all over all over the world, as well as rewards for missions. They can also be made by players. Upgrade components are the primary method to upgrade equipment. These are items that slot into equipment. The majority of equipment comes with slots for upgrading, and many require a specific level of upgrade. Some upgrade components provide specific bonuses, while others offer general bonuses.
There are many types of upgrade elements in the game, such as universal upgrades, inscriptions, and jewels. Universal upgrades, like gemstones and enchantments, can be put in any kind of equipment and offer fewer bonuses than those that are equipment-type specific to the type of equipment. Glyphs are only available in gathering tools. They offer a range of bonuses, from increasing the speed at which an item gathers to providing extra crafting material.
To upgrade an item, simply select it in your inventory and open the Upgrade window. The window will show a preview on the right side of the screen that shows the expected stats after the upgrade, as well as any materials or components required. 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 amount of upgrade components needed for an item. The cost of upgrading increases depending on the rarity and level of the item. However you can cut down on this cost by purchasing upgrades from a merchant or trading them with other players.
Most weapons can be upgraded using an upgrade to a prefix for example, an insignia, or a rune. Many can be upgraded with a suffix upgrade. These upgrades can be used to add an adjective to the name of the item for example "Radiant" or "Minor Vigor".
Glyphs
Glyphs are a powerful instrument for communicating visual information. They animate to capture the attention of the viewers and trigger curiosity in the brain. The glyphs' animation mimics the body language and makes them more effective in communicating a linguistic barrier-crossing message. Glyphs also create a sense of familiarity in the brain, increasing retention of the message.
Each glyph has a set of values it can increase a stat's value, as shown on the item when you open the glyph in the Glyph Storage or when you use them to enchant an artifact. This range is the maximum value that a glyph can increase a stat's value by and not the amount it actually increases it by. The value of the glyph is contingent on the tier and the quality of the product you are enchanting.
The majority of upgrade components that are installed into items cannot be removed or replaced without dismantling them except for legendary equipment and upgrades. If you do have an unusable rune or glyph that hasn't yet been added to your gear, you can move it to a different piece of equipment by utilizing the upgrade Glyphs context menu in the Glyphs panel. This will create a new Glyph Set with the selected glyph.
If you wish to remove the glyph from an item you must salvage it with the help of a Black Lion Salvage Kit or Ascended Salvage Tool. This will destroy the item in which it is installed however, you can salvage the upgraded item with the glyph and its shards, therefore, it shouldn't be considered as a loss.
A glyph added to an item may cause it to be unstable, and the shards that are left of that glyph will disappear from your inventory when you take it down. You can also add an inscription on your equipment to provide a bonus. Deferred Damage, for example can store damage, and be distributed slowly to the wearer rather than all at once. This is helpful for those who take many hits from their enemies, but do not want to be overwhelmed.
Reroll tokens
Reroll tokens are used to change the affixes on weapons and other equipment. They can be obtained from a variety of sources, including mysterious boxes or rare drops from skulled monsters or by killing bosses. Reroll tokens give the player a brand new random affix, which is usually superior to the original. Reroll tokens can also be used to improve weapon stats to cause more damage or bonuses.
Rerolled items are not listed on the menu for item upgrades, but they can still be upgraded. If item upgrader click the "upgrade button", you can recycle these rerolled items. This will alter the appearance of the window for the item and let up to six items to be chosen for recycling. Recycling an item adds a small amount of points to its gauge of level. The amount is determined by the item's rarity as well as its level, which means items with higher levels are more valuable to recycle than lower-level ones.
In addition to reroll tokens players can also use Star Remnants and Reroll Tokens to reroll the Weapon Traits of an upgraded unit. Rerolls will roll a % chance for a weapon's trait. If it rolls higher, the weapon is upgraded. If it is lower the weapon is left as it was. Weapons can be upgraded up to 3 times.
Rerolling is a fantastic way to upgrade an item. However, players must be aware that the total ilvl will be diminished by the number of rerolls it took to get it to the final level. This effect is most evident on rings and Diadems, as they have no other options to increase the ilvl.
The reroll system has been criticized by players for being expensive and it's more equitable to let players pay for it in the form of money or food items that would allow players to modify their builds without a lot of time and energy. However paying for rerolls is not something that the developers would like to implement at this point in the game's development. They're planning to include a potion that will allow players to alter their race in the future.
Leveling
There are a variety of ways to upgrade an item. The first is to increase the amount of upgrade that increases the upgrade value of the stat. The second is to increase the upgrade effect that increases the healing or damage of a particular stat. The base item can be upgraded to a more advanced upgrade type. When this is done the new item will retain its iLevel however it will have the upgrade effects of the upgraded type of item.
It is important to remember that upgrades can be random. Most of the time, a better roll will come from the glyphs, but there are also possibilities for greater or special rolls. Additionally the iLevel of an upgrade will be determined by the item type, so should you upgrade a rare or unusual item to an extraordinary type it has a chance to achieve an increased iLevel.
Upgrading items can be costly, particularly if you're upgrading a piece of equipment from the standard to the legendary track. The cost of upgrading an item will depend on the iLevel it's built upon and the number of upgrade levels. Some upgrade tracks also require crests to reach the next level.
If you're fortunate, your upgraded item may get to the top of its upgrade track and unlock an additional effect. This will provide a significant increase in the value of the item. The bonus effect will vary with each upgrade level, though. In general, the effect of upgrading 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 that has been upgraded from being a scarce or unique item to an outstanding one can be expected to gain the enhanced defense of the new base item.
