Is it possible to replace an upgrade you’ve added to an item

guild-wars-2

I currently don't have enough level 80 upgrades to apply to all of my items. I do, however, have a variety of lower level upgrades that I can apply.

If I apply one of these upgrades to an item, is it possible to then replace it at a later date with a higher level upgrade or do I need to re-create the item in order to do so?

Best Answer

You may "override" upgrades at any time, simply by attaching the upgrade over the upgrade item. (You'll get a prompt warning you that this will destroy the current upgrade).

It is possible to recover the upgrade and destroy the item (guaranteed with Black Lion Salvage Kit), but it is not possible, once upgrade, to reobtain both base items.

Will salvaging an item with a sigil always reward the sigil

No, if you read the description of the salvage kit, it tells you the percentage chance for it to recover upgrades. The best non-gem-store salvage kit has an 80% chance to recover items in sockets.

Here are all the salvage kits:

Crude        - "small chance"
Basic        - 20%
Fine         - 40%
Journeyman's - 60%
Master's     - 80%
Black Lion   - 100%

The Black Lion salvage kit can be bought from the gem store for 300 gems, and can also occasionally be found in Black Lion chests.

What to do with skill points once you’ve unlocked all skills

If you go to Lion's Arch and talk to the NPC Miyani next to the Mystic Forge, she has various items for sale that you can purchase with Skill Points. The most expensive is a Bloodstone Shard, which costs 200 skill points and is used to create Legendary weapons. Currently, that is the only other place to spend skill points aside from on your character.

In addition, you continue to earn skill points after you hit the level cap of 80, gaining another when you would have normally leveled up again, similar to Guild Wars 1.
