Guild Wars 2 Item Upgrade
The stats of an item can be improved through upgrading it, which is also known as "upping". Each upgrade increment boosts a stat linearly.

Upgrade components
In Guild Wars 2, an item upgrade is a way to boost the stats of your weapon and armor. This can be achieved through many different methods, including the use of upgrade components and also upgrading an item's mark level or rarity. Many items can also be reforged to boost their stats.
Upgradeable items can be found all over the game, both within the world and as rewards for missions. Players can also craft them. Upgrade components are the primary method to upgrade equipment. These are items that can be inserted into equipment. Most equipment has upgrade slots, and the majority require a certain upgrade level. Certain upgrade components offer specific bonuses, while others offer an overall bonus.
There are many types of upgrade components that are available in the game. These include universal upgrades, inscriptions, and jewels. Universal upgrades, such as gemstones and enchantments can be put in any kind of equipment and provide smaller bonuses than those that are equipment-type specific. item upgrader are only available in gathering tools. They provide a variety bonuses, ranging from boosting the speed at which an item gathers to supplying additional crafting materials.
To upgrade an item, 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 stats following the upgrade. The Upgrade button at the bottom will show Blocked if you do not have enough of either.
The amount of upgrade components required for a specific item can be seen in the upper-right corner of the Upgrade window. The cost of upgrading increases with the upgrade level and rarity, however it can be reduced using a variety of ways, such as purchasing upgrades from a vendor or trading them to other players.
Almost all weapons can be upgraded using a prefix upgrade for example, an insignia or a rune, and a lot of them are upgraded by a suffix upgrade. These upgrades alter the name of the item, adding an adjective, such as "Radiant" or "Minor vigor. There are some exceptions, however. the non-inscribable wands, the shields and foci from Prophecies and Factions campaigns, which cannot be upgraded with any kinds of mods.
Glyphs
Glyphs are a way to communicate visual information. They are animated to draw the attention of the viewer and stimulate curiosity. The glyphs' animation mimics body language, making them more effective in conveying messages across language barriers. Glyphs also evoke a sense of familiarity in the brain, which increases retention of the message.
Each glyph has a set of values that it could increase a stat's value according to the 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 the glyph can improve a stat by and not the amount it will actually increase it by. The actual value of the glyph is determined by the tier and quality of the item you're creating it for.
Most upgrade components slotted into items can't be replaced or salvaged without dismantling the gear in question, except for legendary equipment and upgrades. If you do have a non-useful rune or glyph that has not yet been incorporated into your gear, you can move it to a different piece of equipment by utilizing the upgrade Glyphs context menu within the Glyphs panel. This will create an Glyph Set that includes the chosen glyph.
You can take out any glyph with the help of the Black Lion Salvage Kit, or an Ascended Salvage tool. The item will be destroyed that it was installed in, but you can recover the upgraded item by using the glyph and its fragments, so this should not be considered as a loss.
A glyph added to an item can cause it to become unstable, and the shards of that glyph will disappear from your inventory when you take it down. You can also add a glyph to your equipment to give it an extra benefit. For example, the glyph Deferred Damage can store damage for the wearer and distribute it slowly rather than all at one time. This is helpful for players who suffer many hits from their enemies but don't want to be overwhelmed.
Reroll tokens
Reroll tokens let players change the affixes of their weapons and equipment, and they can be obtained through a variety of methods, including in mistery boxes, as a rare drop from skulled creatures, or even from killing bosses. Each reroll gives the player an affix randomly chosen and usually better than what they had before. Reroll tokens can be used to boost the weapon's stats to increase damage or bonuses.
Items that have been rerolled do not appear in the upgrade menu, however, they can still receive upgrades. By pressing the "upgrade button", you can recycle these rerolled items. This will change the design of the item's window, and allow up to six items be selected to recycle. The level gauge is increased by recycling an item. 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 make use of Star Remnants and Reroll Tokens to roll the traits of a weapon in an upgraded unit. Rerolls will determine the % chance of a particular weapon trait. If it is higher, the weapon is upgraded, and if it rolls lower, it remains unchanged. Weapons can be upgraded up to three times.
Rerolls are a great option for upgrading an item, but players should be aware that it can lower the overall ilvl of the weapon due to the number of rerolls required to raise it to its final ilvl. This lowering effect is most effective with Diadems and rings that don't have alternatives to raise their ilvls.
Players have complained that the reroll system is expensive. It's better to allow people to pay for it with cash or food items, which allows players to make adjustments to their builds without spending excessive amounts of time. The developers have no plans to introduce paid rerolls at this stage in the game's development. Instead, they're planning add an ability to change races in the future.
Leveling
There are many ways to upgrade an item. The first is to increase the amount of upgrade which boosts the upgrade value of any stat. The second option is to increase the effect of an upgrade, which boosts damage or healing for the stat. Additionally you have the option to upgrade the base item to an upgrade type. When this is done, the new item will retain its iLevel but it will have the upgrade effects of the upgraded item type.
It is important to keep in mind that upgrades are not guaranteed. Most of the time, a higher roll is determined by glyphs. However there are instances where a higher or more special roll may occur. The type of the item will determine the iLevel. If you upgrade a rare or exclusive item to a specific kind of item, it has a chance of receiving an additional level.
Upgrades to items can be costly especially when you're upgrading an item of equipment from a standard to legendary track. The price will depend on the item's iLevel base and the number of upgrade levels it offers. Some upgrade tracks also require crests in order to get to the next level.
If you're lucky, your upgraded item will reach the highest level on its upgrade track and gain a bonus effect. This will give you a substantial increase in the value of the item. The bonus effect will change with each upgrade level. In general, the effect of upgrading is increased a value of +3.
The iLevel also changes depending on the item's upgrade path and 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.
