Guild Wars 2

I confess I am a noob but I just reached level 60 with my first character, an elementalist. I want to apply sigils to her staff but cannot seem to apply a second one. I understand that it must be different and should not mix tiers but I have tried a dozen combinations nothing seems to work. I applied superior sigil of fire, I want to apply superior sigil of life but that won’t work. Also tried seals, stones, medallions, major sigils, no luck. I also can’t seem to find anyone else asking this question.

Did you select the empty slot before applying? Also you have to do it in the hero panel.

Likely Just stating the obvious but those are two hitches I bumped into but should have known better.

A third obvious concern is whether the staff is high enough level to accept the sigil. I’m sure it is in this case as it already has a superior sigil in it but for the sake of others I’ll mention that as a concern. Whatever level the sigil lists is the weapon level needed to hold it, not the character level.

To break down the steps Behellagh gave:

Have item equipped.
Open Hero Equipment panel.
Open Inventory.
Right click Sigil in bags and select Use (or just double click).
Click on item (in your case, staff).
A panel should open up with two large rectangular sections. The Fire sigil should show in the top one. Click on the bottom one, then click Accept so long as it doesn’t warn you that you are going to overwrite an existing upgrade.

You should now have both sigils in the staff.

I destroyed several expensive sigils before I realized you had to select an empty slot. It’s not good UI, although I see why they did it.

Thanks. I figured it out. Simple mechanics. To apply the first sigil all that was necessary was to drag and drop. The second one requires a double click to make it work. Go figure.

More recently it seems to have gotten smart enough to default to the empty one. At least it did for the infusion slots when I had to redo my ring infusions.
