Guild Wars 2

I’ve tried to change the upgrade on one of my 2handed weaps from 1 ruby orb and one emerald orb to 2 emerald orbs but I cant do it, I get red and nothing else. Is there something I’m missing here? Are 2 slotted weap upgrades permanent?

I kind of ran into the same problem. When you click to upgrade, a box should some up. There should be an upper and lower box. Typically the upper is green. If you already have one upgrade on it, it will be there. You have to click the bottom and move the green shading to the lower. Then it should appear on the weapon.

I think the OP is stating that he doesn’t get the box and the weapon appears RED when he hovers over it to add the upgrade item. The only time I have ever seen something like that is if the weapon is not high enough level to take the upgrade (obviously, if it has orbs IN it, that is unlikely to be the case).

Wait, are you trying to put JEWELS in a weapon? You can’t do that (can only add jewels to trinkets with an upgrade slot).

Also, if the weapon is in a protected container or in the bank, you would likely get that kind of behavior.

No, I’m trying to replace a ORB in a 2hand weap. I’ve tried it when the weap is equipted, in my bags, and in the bank and still get the red saying I cant upgrade.

It might be that you cannot have 2 of the same item in there. I know that happens when you use runes to upgrade all of your armor, it doesn’t highlight those that already have the rune slotted. Might be entirely unable to do it. Put in a bug report/ticket, see if anything comes of it.

Why would you waste your sigils for a couple extra stats anyway? I imagine its just like sigils as well. for example, you can’t equip 2 of the same sigil, so i bet they made it you can’t equip 2 of the same orb either

BINGO! That was it! Thanks folks, that didn’t even occur to me, DOH!

Never thought of that, but it’s a good bit of information to have.

Thanks for posting back with confirmation.
