The stats of an item can be improved by upgrading it, also referred to as "upping". Each upgrade increment boosts the stats linearly.

Upgrade components
A level upgrade in Guild Wars 2 is a process that can boost the power of your weapon and armor. This can be done through various methods, including using upgrade components as well as increasing an item's mark level or rarity. Many items can also be reforged to boost their stats.
You can find upgradeable items throughout the game. They are available in all over the world and are rewards for missions. They can also be made by players. The main way to upgrade equipment is by making use of upgrade components which are the items that can be slotted into equipment. The majority of equipment comes with slots for upgrading, and many require a specific level of upgrade. Certain upgrade components offer specific bonuses while others provide general bonuses.
There are several types of upgrade elements in the game, such as universal upgrades, inscriptions, and jewels. Universal upgrades, like gems and enchantments, are able to be placed in any equipment type and provide smaller bonuses than those that are equipment type specific to the type of equipment. Glyphs can only be found in gathering tools. They offer a variety of bonuses, from increasing the speed at which an item gathers to providing additional crafting materials.
Select the item 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 after the upgrade. The Upgrade button at the bottom will read Blocked if you do not have enough of or.
The amount of upgrade components needed for a specific item is displayed in the upper-right corner of the window for upgrading. The cost of an upgrade increases depending on the level of upgrade and rarity, but can be reduced through a variety of methods, including purchasing upgrades from a retailer or trading them to other players.
Almost all weapons can be upgraded using a prefix upgrade for example, an insignia or a rune, and many can be upgraded using an upgrade suffix. These upgrades alter the name of the item to add an adjective, for example "Radiant" or "Minor Vigor. The only exceptions are the noninscribable wands, foci and shields from the Prophecies and Factions campaigns, which cannot be upgraded with any mods.
Glyphs
Glyphs can be used to convey information via visuals. They animate to capture the attention of the viewers and trigger curiosity in the brain. The glyphs' animation mimics the body language, making them more effective in transmitting the message of a language barrier. Glyphs can also increase the likelihood of remembering messages by creating an experience of familiarity in the brain.
Each glyph comes with a range of values that it could enhance a stat in the form of an item when you open the glyph in the Glyph Storage or when you use it to enchant an Artifact. This is not the actual amount at the glyph can increase the stat, but rather the maximum amount it is able to do so. The actual value of the glyph is determined by the quality and tier of the item you are in awe of it.
The majority of upgrade components that are slotted into items cannot be replaced or salvaged without removing the gear in question, unless it is legendary equipment and upgrades. If you do have a rune or glyph that has not yet been added to your gear, you can move it to a different piece equipment by using the Upgrade Glyphs context menu on 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 using a Black Lion Salvage Kit or Ascended Salvage Tool. The item will be destroyed in which it is installed however, you can salvage the upgraded item with the glyph and its shards, so this should not be considered as a loss.
The addition of a glyph to an item could 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 the glyph on your equipment to provide an extra benefit. Deferred Damage, for example can store damage, and be distributed slowly to the wearer instead of all at one time. This can be helpful for those who take a lot of damage from their enemies but don't want to be overwhelmed.
Reroll tokens
Reroll tokens can be used to alter the affixes on weapons and equipment. They can be obtained from various sources, including mystery boxes or rare drops from skulled monsters or by killing bosses. Every reroll grants the player an affix randomly chosen and usually better than what they had prior to. Reroll tokens are also a great way to reroll weapon stats and can be upgraded to provide better damage or other perks.
item upgrade don't appear in the menu of upgrade options, however they can be upgraded. If you click the "upgrade button" you can recycle the rerolled items. This will change the design of the item's window, and allow up to six items to be selected for recycling. Recycling an item adds small amount of points to its gauge of level. The amount is determined by the rarity of the item and also its level. Thus, items with higher levels are more valuable for recycling than lower-leveled ones.
In addition to reroll tokens, players can use Star Remnants and Reroll Tokens to roll the traits of a weapon in an upgraded unit. item upgrade roll a percentage chance of a weapon's traits. If it scores higher, then the weapon is upgraded. If it is lower, the weapon remains unchanged. Weapons can be rerolled up to three times.
Rerolls are a good option to upgrade an item, however, players should be aware that it could reduce the overall ilvl the weapon due to the number of rerolls needed to increase it to its final ilvl. This is evident on Diadems and Rings, as they have no other options to raise the ilvl.
The reroll system has been criticized by players for being too expensive and it's more equitable to let players pay for it using money or a food item that allows players to modify their build without a lot of time and effort. However paying for rerolls is not something the developers want to incorporate at this point in the game's development. They are planning to add a potion that will allow 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 first is to increase the upgrade amount that increases the upgrade value of the stat. The second option is to increase the impact of the upgrade, which increases the healing or damage for an individual stat. In addition, there is the ability to upgrade the base item to a higher upgrade type. When this is done, the new item will keep its iLevel but it will have the upgrade effects of the upgraded item type.
It is crucial to remember that upgrades are not guaranteed. In most cases a better roll is based on the glyphs. However there are instances when a greater or special roll can occur. In addition the iLevel of an upgrade will be determined by the type of item which means that should you upgrade a rare or unusual item to an extraordinary type you will have a chance to gain a higher iLevel.
Upgrades can be costly particularly if you are upgrading your equipment from the standard track to the legendary. The price will depend on the item's iLevel base and the number of upgrade levels it has. In addition, some upgrade tracks require crests to achieve the next upgrade level.
If you're lucky your upgraded item will be at the highest level on its upgrade track, and will unlock an additional bonus effect. This will result in a significant increase in the value of the item. The bonus effect can change with each upgrade level though. In general, the effect of upgrading is increased by +3.
Based on the item's base level and upgrade path, the iLevel of the upgraded item will also change. For example the weapon that has been upgraded from a rare or exclusive item to an extraordinary item will have a chance to be upgraded to the Enhanced Defense of the new base type of item.
