Guild Wars 2

Hi, was just wondering if it was possible to upgrade the items w/o unused upgrade slot, like for example those exotics that don’t have the image of a sigil or rune in its description, just the effects like 10% increased bleeding duration etc. Is it possible to slot these with upgrade components? And is it okay to have the same kind of crests on a single wield? For some reason I couldn’t apply another Crest of the Shaman on my mace when my shield already had it, I had to settle with Crest of the Soldier instead. Thanks to all those who’re going to answer

All items should be upgradeable, with the exception of the new “Ascended” tier gear. However, you will be overwriting the old upgrade. (So you’ll get rid of the 10% increased bleed duration for whatever else you’re getting)

You can have as many crests as you’d like of the same type in your gear. Keep in mind that you cannot apply upgrades to items if the upgrade is a higher level item (So a Crest(level 80) could not be put in a level 79 exotic.)

I have run gear with 8 crests of the soldier (6 on the body, 2 on the weapons) in the past, so it is possible.
