What upgrades are considered good? - Guild Wars Forums

706 · Oct 03, 2005, 01:05 PM // 13:05

Over time i have accumulated a few upgrades for all sorts of weapons and i was wondering if someone could help tell me what sort of ones people are looking for and which ones you might as well just get rid of. I believe the health ones are wanted, what others? And also any ideas on what they would go for?

enchant 20%
vamp sword 3:1
vamp bow 5:1
vamp axe 5:1
sundering ( 10 % )
etc

You listed Vampiric Axe upgrade as a 5:1 which is incorrect. It's a 3:1 to not confuse anyone.

Here's a link in this forums Trade section that lists the average prices of the upgrades.

Thanks, that list really helps. At the moment the prices seem about right by comparing with sellers in Lions Arch, but i imagine they will drop over time with the flood of gold items. Hopefully it keeps getting updated.

The average prices list is a good way to start off, though it's not too hard to sit in LA d1 and watch the prices there. Also, there is a difference between *good* upgrades, such as ones that are effective like Enchanting, and "good" upgrades, which get a ridiculously high price but do very little *cough*Sundering*cough*.

another really good one is any of the Defense +5 upgrades. 9 times out of 10 +5 to armor will be better then an extra 30 life points.

Of course, if you try to buy a Defense +5 upgrade, it tends to cost less than 10k for one as opposed to 25k+ for a Fortitude +30 upgrade, depending on what the weapon is. I think the OP is trying to find out what to sell, and they will find that Defense, while good, won't get you much. Figures
