Objective upgrade
From Guild Wars 2 Wiki
Jump to navigationJump to search
Objective upgrades improve defenses and add services to World versus World objectives.
Mechanics[edit]
Available upgrades and tier progress is displayed in a panel by clicking the objective map icons or talking to quartermasters.
- Automatic Upgrades improve the structures' gates, walls, guards, supply depots, and bring additional siege weapons and services to the location.
- Guild Claiming allows guilds to claim an objective, allowing Tactics to be slotted and activated in the location.
- Each upgrade must be unlocked in the War Room to gain access to the scribe recipe. Then a Scribe must create a schematic and process it through the Assembly Device.
- There are 3 tiers for upgrades: Tier I unlocks 10 minutes after claiming and holding the objective, Tier II after 30 minutes and Tier III after 60 minutes.
- Any player with sufficient guild permissions may slot an upgrade into its defined tier consuming the associated schematic from the war chest of the player's guild.
- Only the Claimant guild can remove tactics.
- Types of upgrades:
- Improvements — passive bonuses that improve gates, walls, and provide bonus effects to allies
- Tactics — active bonuses that can be triggered by the objectives' tactivators
- Guild Objective Auras are unlocked effects that passively increase allies' attributes and other effects while in the area of a claimed objective. Each effect is unlocked in tiers, maintaining the bonuses of the previously unlocked effects. The effect can be doubled by using the improvement Presence of the Keep.
- Objective Aura 1: Supply Capacity (effect) — Max Supply +5
- Objective Aura 2: WvW Experience (effect) — WvW Experience +10%
- Objective Aura 3: Movement Speed (effect) — Movement speed +25%
- Objective Aura 4: Power (effect) — Power +100
- Objective Aura 5: Precision (effect) — Precision +100
- Objective Aura 6: Toughness (effect) — Toughness +100
