Guild Wars 2 Item Upgrade
The stats of an item are improved by upgrading it, also known as "upping". Each upgrade increment increases the stats linearly.
Players can recycle six items at one time to gain a gauge for each item's upgraded component. The cost of recycling an item scales according to its rarity and.
Upgrade components
A level upgrade in Guild Wars 2 is a process that can increase the power of your armor and weapons. This can be accomplished in a variety of ways through the use of upgrade components or increasing an item's rarity or mark level. In addition, many items can be reforged to increase their stats.
There are items that can be upgraded throughout the game. They are available throughout all over the world and are rewards for missions. They can also be created by players. The most common method of upgrading equipment is by making use of upgrade components, which are items that can be slotted into equipment. The majority of equipment comes with slots to upgrade, and many require a specific level of upgrade. Certain upgrade components provide specific bonuses while others provide general bonuses.
There are many types of upgrade components that are available in the game. These include universal upgrades, inscriptions and jewels. Universal upgrades, like gems and enchantments can be placed on any kind of equipment and provide smaller bonuses than upgrades for specific equipment. Glyphs are only available in gathering tools and offer numerous bonuses, ranging from increasing the speed of an item's gathering to providing additional crafting materials.
To upgrade an item, simply select it in your inventory, then open the Upgrade window. The preview will appear on the right side of the screen. It will display the expected stats following the upgrade. If you don't possess enough of either the two, the Upgrade button will be marked as Blocked.

However you can cut down on the cost of upgrades by purchasing them from a merchant, or trading them with other players.
Nearly all weapons can be upgraded with an upgrade to a prefix, such as an insignia or a rune, and many are upgraded by an upgrade suffix. These upgrades include an adjective in the name of the item, such as "Radiant" or "Minor Vigor".
Glyphs
Glyphs are a way to convey visual information. They animate in order to grab the viewer's eye and stimulate curiosity. The animation of glyphs resembles body language, which makes them more effective in communicating a message across linguistic barriers. Glyphs can also trigger a feeling of familiarity in the brain, increasing retention of the message.
Each glyph can increase the value of a stat by a specific amount. This is clearly displayed on the item when you open it in the Glyph Storage. This is not the actual amount by the glyph can increase a stat, but the maximum amount it can increase a stat. The actual value of the glyph is determined by the quality and tier of the item you're enchanting it to.
The majority of upgrade components added to items cannot be removed or replaced without dismantling them, with the exception of legendary equipment and upgrades. However, if you have an unusable rune or glyph that hasn't yet been added to your gear, you can move it to another piece of gear by using the Upgrade Glyphs context menu within the Glyphs panel. This will create a Glyph Set that includes the selected glyph.
You can take out the glyph using the Black Lion Salvage Kit, or an Ascended Salvage tool. This will destroy the item that it was installed in, but you can recover the upgraded item by using the glyph and its shards so this should not be considered as a loss.
Adding a glyph to an item could cause it to be unstable, and the shards of that glyph will disappear from your inventory when you remove the item. You can also add a glyph on your equipment to provide an extra benefit. Deferred Damage, for example can be used to store damage and then be dealt out slowly to the wearer instead of all at one time. This is beneficial for those who take many hits from enemies, but don't want to be overwhelmed.
Reroll tokens
Reroll tokens can be used to alter the affixes that are placed on equipment and weapons. They can be obtained from a variety of sources, including mysterious boxes and 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 are also a good option to reroll stats on weapons and can be upgraded to increase damage or additional perks.
Items that have been rerolled will not appear in the upgrade menu, but they still qualify to receive upgrades. By pressing the "upgrade button" you can recycle the items that have been rerolled. This will alter the appearance of the window for the item, and allow up to six items to be selected to recycle. The level gauge is increased by recycling an item. This amount is determined by the item's rarity and also its level. Therefore, higher-leveled items are more valuable to recycle than lower-leveled ones.
Players can also use Reroll Tokens and Star Remnants to roll rerolling weapons to upgrade units. Rerolls are based on a % chance for a weapon's trait. If it scores higher, then the weapon is upgraded. If it is lower the weapon is left as it was. Weapons can be upgraded up to three times.
Rerolls are a great option for upgrading an item, but players must be aware that it will lower the overall ilvl of the weapon due to the number of rerolls used to increase it to its final ilvl. This lowering effect is most effective with ring items and Diadems that do not have any other options for raising ilvls.
Players have complained that the reroll system is too expensive. It's more fair to allow players to pay for it using money or food items, which allows players to make changes to their builds without having to invest excessive amounts of time. However the paid rerolls aren't something the developers are planning to implement at this point in the game's development. They plan to add an ingredient that allows players to change 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 which boosts the value of an upgrade for the stat. The second is to boost the effect of upgrading that increases the healing or damage of a specific stat. The base item can be upgraded to an advanced upgrade type. When this is done the new item will retain its iLevel, but will have the upgrade effects of the upgraded type of item.
It is crucial to remember that upgrades are random. Most of the time, a better roll will come from the glyphs, but there are also possibilities for greater or special rolls. In addition the iLevel of an upgrade will be determined by the type of item and if you upgrade a unique or rare item to an exceptional item type, it has a chance to gain a higher iLevel.
The cost of upgrading items can be expensive, particularly when you're upgrading an item of gear from the normal to the legendary track. The price will depend on the item's base iLevel and the amount of upgrade levels it comes with. Additionally, certain upgrade tracks require crests in order to achieve the next upgrade level.
If you're fortunate the upgraded item could reach the maximum level on its upgrade track and unlock an additional effect. This will give the item a significant upgrade value. The bonus effect changes with each upgrade level. Generally speaking, the upgrade effect is increased by a number of +3.
The iLevel will also change in accordance with the item's upgrade path and its base level. For instance, an item that is upgraded from a rare or unique item to an outstanding one can be expected to gain the Enhanced Defense of the new base item.
