The statistics of an item are improved through upgrading it, also known as "upping". Each upgrade increment increases a stat linearly.

Upgrade components
In Guild Wars 2, an upgrade of an item can be a method to boost the stats of your weapon and armor. This can be accomplished by a variety of methods, including by using upgrade components or by increasing an item's rarity or mark level. A lot of items can be reforged to boost their value.
You can purchase upgradeable items throughout the game. They are available all over all over the world, as well as rewards for missions. Players can also make them. Upgrade components are the most common method of upgrading equipment. These are the items that slot into equipment. Most equipment has upgrade slots, and the majority require a certain upgrade level. Some upgrade components provide specific bonuses, while others give general bonuses.
There are several types of upgrade components in the game, including universal upgrades, inscriptions and jewels. Universal upgrades, like gems and enchantments, can be placed on any equipment and offer lower bonuses than upgrades that are specific to equipment. Glyphs can only be found in gathering tools. They offer a range of bonuses, ranging from boosting the speed at which an item gathers to providing extra crafting material.
To upgrade an item, click it in your inventory and open the Upgrade window. This will display a preview on the right side of the screen, showing the expected stats after the upgrade, as well as any necessary components or materials. If you don't possess enough of either, the Upgrade button will show as Blocked.
The number of upgrade components required for a particular item can be seen in the upper-right corner of the Upgrade window. The cost of an upgrade increases depending on the level of upgrade and rarity, however it can be reduced by many different ways, such as purchasing upgrades from a vendor or trading them with other players.
Most weapons can be improved by a prefix such as a rune or an insignia. Other weapons can be upgraded by adding a suffix. These upgrades change the name of the item to add an adjective, for example "Radiant" or "Minor vigor. The only exceptions are the noninscribable wands, shields and foci from the Prophecies and Factions campaigns, which cannot be upgraded with any mods at all.
Glyphs
Glyphs are a way to convey visual information. They animate in order to grab the attention of the viewer and entice curiosity. The animation of glyphs resembles body language, making them more effective in conveying the message across linguistic barriers. Glyphs can also increase the likelihood of remembering a message by evoking an experience of familiarity in the brain.
Each glyph comes with a range of values it can improve a stat by, 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 the glyph can increase a stat's value by, not the amount that it actually increases it by. 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 repaired or replaced without removing the gear in question, unless it is legendary equipment and upgrades. If you have a glyph or rune you do not want to use, but it hasn't been applied to the gear yet, you can transfer the item to a different piece by using the Upgrade Glyphs menu within the Glyphs Panel. This will create a Glyph Set that includes the selected glyph.
If you wish to remove a glyph from an item, you will need to salvage it using the help of a Black Lion Salvage Kit or Ascended Salvage Tool. The item will be destroyed that it was installed in however, you can salvage the upgraded item with the glyph and its fragments, 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 the glyph will disappear from your inventory when you dismantle the item. You can also apply a glyph to your equipment to add a bonus. Deferred Damage, for example, can store damage and then be dealt out slowly to the wearer instead of all at once. This is helpful for those who take lots of damage from their enemies, but do not want to be overwhelmed.
Reroll tokens
Reroll tokens are used to alter the affixes of weapons and equipment. They can be obtained from various sources, such as mysterious boxes, rare drops from skulled monsters or by killing bosses. Reroll tokens give players a new random affix that is usually superior to the one they had before. Reroll tokens are also a great method to reroll the stats of a weapon, which can be upgraded to increase damage or additional perks.
Rerolled items do not appear in the menu of upgrade options, however they are still able to be upgraded. Rerolled items can be recycled by pressing the "upgrade" button, which changes the layout of the item window and allows up to six items to recycle. The gauge of level is increased by recycling an item. This 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 make use of Star Remnants and Reroll Tokens to reroll the Weapon Traits of an upgraded unit. Rerolls will determine the percentage chance of a weapon trait. If it rolls higher, the weapon is upgraded, and if it rolls lower, it remains the same. Weapons can be upgraded up to three times.
Rerolling is a fantastic method to improve an item. However, players should be aware of the fact that the total ilvl is decreased by the number of the rerolls required to bring it to the final ilvl. This effect is most evident on Diadems and Rings, since they have no other options to raise the ilvl.
The Reroll system has been criticized by players for being expensive, and it would be more reasonable to let players pay for it with money or food items that would allow players to modify their build without a lot of time and energy. The developers aren't planning to implement paid rerolls at this stage of the game's development. Instead, they're planning include an ability to change races in the near future.
Leveling
There are many ways to upgrade an item. The first way to level up an upgrade to an item is by increasing the upgrade amount. This boosts the upgrade value for the stat. The second option is to increase the effect of an upgrade, which can increase the healing or damage for an individual stat. Additionally there is the possibility to upgrade the base item to a higher upgrade type. When this is done the new item will maintain its iLevel but it will benefit from the upgrade effects of the upgraded type of item.
When upgrading your items, it is important to keep in mind that upgrades are random. In the majority of cases the chance of a better roll will come from the glyphs, however there are also possibilities for more or unique rolls. In addition the iLevel of an upgrade will be determined by the type of item and when you upgrade a rare or unusual item to a unique type, it will have a chance to get an iLevel that is higher.
Upgrades can be costly particularly if you are upgrading equipment from the standard track to the legendary. The cost of upgrading a piece of equipment will depend on its base iLevel as well as the number of upgrade levels. Additionally, certain upgrade tracks require crests in order to achieve the next upgrade level.
If you're lucky, your upgraded item may attain the highest level on its upgrade track and unlock an additional benefit. This will provide the item with a significant upgrade value. The bonus effect will vary with each upgrade level, however. Generally speaking the upgrade effect is increased by a number of +3.
Depending on the item's base level and its upgrade process, the iLevel for the upgraded item will change as well. For instance an item upgraded from a rare or unique item to an exceptional one is likely to gain the Enhanced Defense of the new base item.
