Guild Wars 2

Hi everybody.

I have the Mad Memoires: Complete Edition back item, and I have been trying to put in jewels and gemstones, without much success however (tier 1 jewels/gemstones seem to work)

My feeling is, that since it has no level restrictions, it would only allow such upgrades that don’t have a level restriction either (I guess to make sure people don’t run around at lv1 with lv65 jewels in their gear). Can somebody confirm/deny/correct this?

Thanks,

You’re correct. Upgrades of a particular level require the item you’re placing it into to be that level or higher.

Since this particular back item has no ML, the game treats it as 0 (or 1) and only allows the lowest tier of upgrades.

You will eventually get an equivalent back item (3 different stat combinations available, one that is identical to the event one) that is ML:80 by doing the personal story mission that you can place any valid upgrade into.

you can transmute it with the lvl 80 back item from story, and then put the best jewels in it
