Disambig icon.png This article is about armor upgrade components. For the Factions quests, see insignia quest.

Insignia are a prefix armor upgrade component that can boost health, increase armor rating, reduce damage, or provide some other profession-specific benefit. They do not drop directly from foes or chests; they must be extracted from armor salvage items. They can be purchased from any Rune Trader at market prices.

Insignia can be applied to all armor types except for certain collector armor. Applying a new Insignia will overwrite the existing ones, but the original can be salvaged first.
