Upgrade Components

Upgrade Components

Upgrade components are similar to Runes and have similar effects, except that they apply to weapons, whereas Runes apply to armor. Any character profession can use upgrades, though again, the weapon type should sync up with your attributes if you want to get the most use out of it.

Scrolls

Scrolls are special items that temporarily augment the amount of experience you and your party receive. They also come in differing levels of rarity, and their effects will endure even upon your character's death. Rare Scrolls can be purchased from a Rare Scroll trader, and are usually quite expensive.

Trophies

So you've been adventuring for a few levels, and your bags are packed with carapaces, jawbones, lodestones, and other trophies of your battles. If you need gold, you can sell trophies to the Merchant. You might hold on to those items if you have the room in your inventory and don't need instant cash. Collector NPCs will take those pieces of fallen foes and turn them into magic items that are of much more use to you. Some Collectors offer armor that's often better than what you can get from a crafter. http://www.guildwars.com/gameplay/combat/inventory/
