Which upgrade gets booted? - Guild Wars Forums

wish101 · May 12, 2005, 03:41 AM // 03:41

Alright, I have a gold axe with 3 modifiers on it. Here's the stats:

Cruel Piercing Axe of Axe Mastery
Piercing Dmg: 6-26 (req. 9 axe)
Damage +18% (When hexed)
Lengthens Deep Wounds duration on foe
Axe Mastery +1 (15% chance while using skills)

Now, I also have an upgrade I want to put on it. As follows:

Zealous Axe Haft
Energy gain on hit: 1
Energy regeneration: -1

When I go to put the Zealous Axe Haft on my axe, it tells me that a previous upgrade will be replaced. That's fine, depending on which upgrade is getting booted. How in the nine hells am I supposed to tell which one is going to get replaced? Anyone know?

Also, can replacing one of these upgrades change the status of the weapon from gold to purple/blue?

Thanks

as far as I know the color will never change, I've been changing components on my Butterfly Sword for a while now and it's still purple, and I doubt every single change I've made to it has kept it at the same level of rarity.

as for your first and more important question, the deep wound duration will be the one removed. Axe hafts deal with the prefix and a grips change the suffix.

Weezer_Blue · May 12, 2005, 04:18 AM // 04:18

the "Cruel" part of it will change. Because "Zealous" and "Cruel" are both suffixes to the name. So rather than a Cruel Axe, it will become a Zealous Axe. Color doesn't change, and the percentage vs blah blah isn't even a modifyer item, so thats there for good. If you put a different haft or whatever on it, it would change from of Axe Mastery to of ___.

Wow, awsome list Warlord Teriel, does anyone have a full list of what is available on all items?
That would be something worth printing off

Ahad · May 12, 2005, 07:50 AM // 07:50

Don't suppose you have a similar list for swords?

[EDIT] Just found a list here

This needs to be BUMPED and if anyone has the COMPLETE list, for staffs, swords, hammers, etc... I WOULD LOVE TO SEE IT!

EDIT - Here is complete list from the wonderful website posted above.

http://www.gwonline.net/page.php?p=125

The item system in Guild Wars allows for a wide variety in items. Each type of weapon (axes, bows, hammers, staves, swords, wands and rods) or off-hand item (foci and shields) has a slightly different list of modifiers that it can spawn with.

The modifiers for axes, bows, hammers, staves and swords are all broken into three separate pools, the "prefix pool", the "suffix pool", and the "additional pool". When one of these weapons spawns it can potentially, though it doesn't have to, spawn with a modifier from each of these pools (staves are an exception because they can spawn with two "additional pool" modifiers). If the weapon does not spawn with a "prefix pool" or "suffix pool" modifier they can be added through the use of upgrade components; if the item doesn't spawn with an "additional pool" modifier then it will never have one since you cannot add one through any upgrade components.

Since wands and rods, foci and shields don't have upgrade components used to enhance them their modifiers are all stuck in one pool. When a wand/rod, focus or shield drops it can potentially, but again doesn't have to, spawn with two modifiers from its pool. Due to the lack of upgrade components wands/rods, foci and shields are "as is" items and can never be modified after they drop.

Axes can have up to three different modifiers in addition to the damage they automatically deal. Each one of these modifiers is drawn from a different pool of modifiers, which are "prefixes", "suffixes" and "additional". If you are attempting to obtain upgrade components for your axe to get the specific mods you want, all "prefix" modifiers will appear exclusively on axe hafts and all "suffix" modifiers will appear exclusively on axe grips; there is no way to add a modifier from the "additional" pool to your axe, it must spawn with one of those modifiers when it drops to have one.

Wands and rods can have up to two different modifiers in addition to the damage they automatically deal.

Shields can have up to two different modifiers in addition to the innate 6-16 armor they provide. Since there are no upgrade components for shields there is only one pool of modifiers; both modifiers are chosen from this pool, however the same type of modifier cannot be drawn for both modifiers (i.e. you can't have two modifiers that affect your health). The one exception to this rule is that the "received damage -x" mod CAN appear twice on an item, although with different conditions (i.e. received damage -3 (while hexed) and received damage -3 (while enchanted)).

With weapons that spawn with a prefix, like Fiery Dragon Sword, Icy Flamberge etc, do they still get replaced when a hilt is applied? I'm guessing yes.. but I can dream

Fenix Swiftblade Lion's Arch Merchant Join Date: Mar 2005 Guild: Illusion of Competence Profession: R/W	as far as I know the color will never change, I've been changing components on my Butterfly Sword for a while now and it's still purple, and I doubt every single change I've made to it has kept it at the same level of rarity. as for your first and more important question, the deep wound duration will be the one removed. Axe hafts deal with the prefix and a grips change the suffix.

Ninlawen Ascalonian Squire Join Date: May 2005 Profession: W/E	With weapons that spawn with a prefix, like Fiery Dragon Sword, Icy Flamberge etc, do they still get replaced when a hilt is applied? I'm guessing yes.. but I can dream
