Guild Wars 2

Forgive my ignorance, I perused the wiki and couldn’t find an answer (although I’m sure it’s there, I just didn’t see it!).

I have an item with two upgrade slots. Both contain jewels. However, the first is in green type and the second is in grey. Does that mean only the first jewel is active? Do I need to attain a higher level to be able to make use of both upgrade slots in an item?

Thank you!

No they should both be active. Are they both.in a 2 handed weapon?

Did you mean you have an ARMOR item which got a minor rune with 2 buffs, first one high lighted, and 2nd one grey out?

If that’s the case, it mean you need another piece of ARMOR item got the exact same minor rune to receive both buffs.

Hope this is the correct answer you are seeking.

In case the above is the correct answer, you will find minor runes(2 buffs, require 2 exact rune in armor), major rune(4 buffs, require 4 exact runes in armor), superior runes(6 buffs, require 6 exact rune in armor).

Therefore, in superior rune case, to receive all buffs from the rune, you need the exactly the same superior rune in every piece of your armor.

Thank you…and I did mis-speak, it is armor, not a weapon. Thanks again!

Don’t forget to get the same rune for under water head piece (breather) to keep the sixth effect from your armour while you go below surface. It means that you actually need 7 runes of the same type to keep all six effect (1)-(6) for both land and water.

If you would be using sigil that stacks (like those sigil with each kill you get a charge of +10 up to +250) on weapon. Those kind of sigil will lose their stacks, if you would happen to go beneath surface in water, so you should always have the same kind of stacking sigil for both land and one of your UW weapon (if you have two weapon set, you only need one of those weapon to have one).
