Guild Wars 2

I’ve got a few noob questions for you guys regarding upgrades.

1. If someone (an exotic, usually) has two slots and one of them is pre-loaded with a rune (or sigil in the case of a weapon), is the second (open) slot strictly for gemstones, crests, and the like?

2. Dose adding sigils to a weapon add any kind of particle effect? Say I added a sigil of fire to a mace, are there any flame effects on the mace itself (not counting the flame blast from crit. procs)?

Told ya they were noob questions. But thanks for any clarification that can be offered.

all weapons, armor, or jewlery current only have one upgrade slot regardless if they come pre inserted with sigils/gems or not

none of the sigils have a consistent particle effect to the best of my knowledge, only the on hit ones have avisible thing such as the flame blast

Thanks for the quick reply. So when the wiki shows something with an upgrade slot and a rune, for example…

is that actually just saying it’s got an upgrade slot that’s already occupied by the rune?

the rune goes in the upgrade slot
