Insignia
From Guild Wars Wiki
(Redirected from Insignias)
This article is about armor upgrade components. For the Factions quests, see insignia quest.Insignia are a type of armor upgrade component introduced with Guild Wars Nightfall. They are prefix upgrade components. Applying a new Insignia will overwrite the old Insignia. Insignia can now be applied to nearly all armor types since the full conversion to the Insignia system in the May 24th update. The only armor types which will not accept Insignia are max collector armor and festival hats, both of which indicate that they will not accept insignia in their descriptions.
Insignia drop in all campaigns and must be extracted from salvage items. Profession-restricted insignias will drop in campaigns in which characters of that profession can be created (i.e. core profession insignia in all campaigns, Factions profession insignia only in Factions). Only insignia for the core professions drop in the Realms of the Gods.

[edit] Notes
- Like runes, they have variable prices if obtained from Rune Traders.
- Insignias obtained from Rune Traders and unidentified insignias have a steady value of 25
.
- If salvaged from unidentified armor pieces, they count as completely unidentifed with unknown attribute.
- If salvaged from identified armor pieces (including Hero armor), they can still be identified to slightly improve the merchant value up to 26..50.
[edit] Trivia
- Insignias were only available for PvP and Guild Wars Nightfall until May 24, 2007, which replaced armors with inherent prefixes and made insignias available for every campaign.
