Most equipment has slots to upgrade and some require a certain amount of upgrade. Certain upgrade components offer specific bonuses, while other components offer general bonuses.
There are a variety of upgrade components in the game, including universal upgrades, inscriptions and jewels. Universal upgrades, like gemstones and enchantments, can be placed in any equipment type and offer fewer bonuses than those that are equipment-type specific. Glyphs can be placed in gathering tools and provide various bonuses, from increasing the speed of the item's collection to providing extra crafting materials.

Most weapons can be upgraded with the use of a prefix upgrade, such as an insignia or a rune, and many can be upgraded with an upgrade suffix. These upgrades add an adjective to the item's name for example "Radiant" or "Minor Vigor".
Glyphs
Glyphs can be used to convey visual information. They move to catch the attention of the viewers and trigger interest in the brain. The animation of glyphs resembles body language, making them more effective at conveying the message across linguistic barriers.

Each glyph has a set of values it can 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 highest value that a glyph can increase a stat's value by and not the amount it actually improves it by. The value of the glyph will depend on the tier as well as the quality of the item that you are enchanting.
The majority of upgrade components that are inserted into items can't be removed or replaced without removing them except for legendary upgrades and equipment. If, however, you have a rune or glyph that hasn't yet been applied to your equipment, you can transfer it to another piece of equipment by utilizing the upgrade Glyphs context menu within the Glyphs panel. This will create a Glyph Set that includes the selected glyph.
If you wish to remove a glyph from a piece of you must salvage it using a Black Lion Salvage Kit or Ascended Salvage Tool. The item on which the glyph is located will be destroyed, however the upgraded item can be recovered by removing the glyph fragments.

You can also add a glyph on your equipment to provide a bonus. Deferred Damage, for example can store damage, and be distributed slowly to the wearer instead of all at once. This is helpful for players who take many hits from enemies however do not want to be overwhelmed.

Reroll tokens permit players to alter the affixes they use on their weapons and equipment and they can be obtained in various ways, including in mistery boxes or as an uncommon drop from skulled creatures, or from killing bosses. Reroll tokens give players a new random affix, which is typically superior to the one they had before. Reroll tokens can also be used to upgrade weapon stats for more damage or bonuses.
Rerolled items don't appear on the menu for upgrade options, however they can be upgraded. By pressing the "upgrade button", you can recycle the rerolled items. This will alter the design of the item's window and let up to six items to be chosen for recycling. Recycling an item can add a small amount of points to its level gauge. The amount is determined by the item's rarity as well as its own level, so higher-level items are more useful to recycle than lower-level ones.
Players can also make use of Reroll Tokens and Star Remnants to roll rerolling Weapon Traits to upgrade units. Rerolls will determine the % chance of a weapon trait. If it is higher, the weapon is upgraded, and if it rolls lower, it remains the same. Weapons can be upgraded up to 3 times.
Rerolls are a good option for upgrading an item, but users must be aware that it can reduce the overall ilvl the weapon by the number of rerolls used to raise it to the final level. This is evident on rings and Diadems, because they are the only options for raising ilvl.
Some players have complained that the reroll system is expensive. It's better to allow players to pay for it with money or food items which will allow them to make changes to their builds without spending too much time. The developers do not plan to offer paid rerolls in this stage of the game's development. They are planning to add the ability for players to alter their race in the near future.
Leveling
There are a variety of ways to increase the level of an upgrade for an item. The first way to level up an upgrade to an item is to increase the amount of upgrade. This increases the value of an upgrade for the stat. The second is to increase the effect of an upgrade that increases the healing or damage of a specific stat. The base item can be upgraded to a more advanced upgrade type. When this is done, the new item will keep its iLevel however it will have the upgrade effects of the upgraded item type.
When upgrading your items, it is important to keep in mind that upgrades aren't always planned. In the majority of cases, a better roll is determined by glyphs. However there are occasions where a higher or more special roll can occur. Additionally the iLevel of the upgrade will be determined by the type of item which means that should you upgrade a rare or unique item to an exceptional item type you could get an iLevel that is higher.
The cost of upgrading items can be expensive especially if you're upgrading a piece of gear from the normal to the legendary track. The price will be based on the item's iLevel base and the amount of upgrade levels it comes with. Certain upgrade tracks require crests to reach 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 provide the item with a significant upgrade value. The bonus effect is different with each upgrade level. Generally speaking the effect of upgrading is increased by a value of +3.
The iLevel also changes in accordance with the item's upgrade path and base level. For instance an item that has been upgraded from a unique or rare to an exceptional item will have a chance to gain the Enhanced Defense of the new base type of item.
