The pieces of the actual system that could be seen appear to allow for the crafting of enhancements ranging from level 5 up to level 50 for all normally enhancable elements. Crafting the enhancements required a combination of Salvage and Influence. All items required pieces of salvage not yet present in the game, so no enhancements could actually be created.

For a good bit of analysis/speculation based on what was visible while the system was open on test, check out this link[1].

Enhancement Combinations and Salvage data found on the test server...

General

(Strong note. Any percentages given in this section are subject to change during testing.)

The level of all Invention Origin Enhancements determines two things. 1) The minimum level of player that may slot that enhancement. 2) The strength of the enhancement.

There is no maximum slotting level with IOs, and strength is based only on the enhancement level, not on the level of the player who slots them. IOs never expire/go red, and their strength never decays. If a level 10 enhancement gives a 10% bonus, then it can be slotted by a level 7 character or a level 50 character for the same 10% bonus. Though the same enhancemet built with a higher level will give a higher bonus, so there is still incentive to upgrade as levels are gained.

From the leaks on the Test server, it appears that schedule A enhancements are set to 10% bonus at level 10, up to a maximum of a 40% bonus at high level. (Subject to change)

From the boards, for dual/triple/quad aspect enhancers:

"Currently, the Set enhancements are set up to give about 100% of the basic IO buff for single-aspect enhancements, 62.5% (per aspect) for dual-aspect enhancements (dam/acc, etc.), 50% (per aspect) for tri-aspect enhancements (dam/acc/rech, etc.), and 43.75% (per aspect) for quad-aspect enhancements (acc/dam/rech/end, etc.). This means the overall value (if you can use all the aspects) is 100% of basic IO value for single-aspect, 125% for dual-aspect, 150% for tri-aspect, and 175% for quad-aspect enhancements. For comparison, HO values (compared to SOs) are +100% per aspect." (Subject to change)

Common Enhancements

Recipes for common enhancements are found on any Invention Worktable. Unlimited numbers of these may be crafted, limited only by the salvage needed.

From Positron: "These “IO’s” act just like normal Enhancements except they do not expire, and their bonus stays static no matter what level you are. Lower level IO’s are strengthened around that of Training Enhancements, mid level IO’s are about the power of Dual Origin Enhancements, and IO’s level 25 and above have about the same punch as current Single Origin Enhancements. Of course the power of the Enhancement is better with level, so high level invented Enhancements are slightly more powerful than the equivalent SO."

Rare Enhancements

Rare enhancements require that the player acquire the appropriate single-use Recipes.

Enhancement recipes have levels, based on the level of the enemy who drops them, and the enhancements that can be built are the same as the level of the recipe from which they are built.

Enhancement Sets

Rare enhancements belong to sets. When multiple enhancements from the same set are slotted in the same power, the player starts to earn additional benefits from the set.

Example from Positron:

"Here’s an example:

Sting of the Manticore (a set of 6) - Slots into any Sniper power

Accuracy/Damage

Damage/Endurance Reduction

Accuracy/Interrupt/Range

Damage/Interrupt/Recharge

Damage/Endurance/Recharge

Toxic DoT Proc

If you have 2 Enhancements in the set slotted: Bonus to your Regeneration rate

If you have 3 Enhancements in the set slotted: The above plus Energy/Negative Energy resistance

If you have 4 Enhancements in the set slotted: The above plus Overall Damage Boost

If you have 5 Enhancements in the set slotted: The above plus Overall Recharge Rate Boost

If you have all 6 Enhancements in the set slotted: The above plus Toxic damage resistance"

The same rare IO cannot be slotted twice into the same power. So to get a power slotted with six of a single set requires all six different members of that set.

Procedures

From Positron:

"I’ll talk about the Enhancements. The last one in the list is a Proc, meaning a procedure that has a chance of happening. Every time you fire your sniper power with the Toxic DoT Proc Enhancement slotted in it, there is a chance your target gets hit with a Toxic Damage over Time effect as well as the normal damage and effect of your Sniper attack."

Globals

Globals are a special type of enhancement. They are slotted in an enhancement slot like any other enhancement. But the bonuses that they give applies to the entire character, not just the power into which they are slotted. If slotted in a Toggle power, the bonus only applies when the toggle is active. If slotted into a passive or click power, the bonus is given all the time.

Group Bonuses

Group bonuses are earned from slotting more than one enhancement of a set into the same power. Enhancement level is irrelevant. All group bonuses apply to the character at all times, reguardless of the type of power into which the set is slotted.

Each bonus has a power level. Generally, the higher level sets give bigger bonuses. The bonuses in the tables in the following section are color coded to show what level they belong to. Generally, the colors are selected to follow the Con System that regular players should be well familiar with. Bonus strength is in relation to level 1 bonuses.

Levels 6 and 7 bonuses are coded for in the code, but not sets have been established yet that actually use them.

Sets

In the tables below, each type of enhancement grouping is split into two separate table. They are split only for presentation purposes. Otherwise, the tables would be far too wide for most browsers. In the list of enhancements in each section, items colored in Green are procedures or "Procs", and items colored in blue are global enhancments.

Hard Numbers

Here are some numbers and percentages that have been leaked:

+ Stealth (From Travel sets): 389 feet in PvP, 35 feet in PvE

- Knockup/Knockback (Steadfast, Karma): -4 Magnatude

+ Recovery (Miracle): +12.5% to base recovery

+ Recovery/+Regeneration (Numina's Convalescence): + 15% to base regeneration, + 9.4% to base recovery

+ Regeneration (Regenerative Tissue): +20% to base regeneration

Chance of Self Heal (Call of the Sandman): 10% chance to heal 5% of your HP

Chance of Buildup (Decimation): 5% chance for Build Up

Travel sets calculate percentages differently from all other sets. Instead of using the system described below, multi-aspec travel IOs give 100% of the power of single aspect IOs on each aspect, instead of giving lower percentages for the multiple-aspec enhancements.
