Parent Article: Invention Origin Enhancement Sets

Overview

Set bonuses are earned from slotting more than one distinct Enhancement from the same set into the same power. Set bonuses apply to the character at all times, regardless of the power into which the set is slotted.

Bonuses, Restrictions, and ED

An Invention Enhancement's level affects the strength of its basic enhancement bonus. For IOs that provide a global benefit instead, such as Stealth or a chance of causing extra damage, the benefit's strength may depend on the level of the character, but the Enhancement's level doesn't matter. Set bonuses are always the same and aren't affected by any of these factors.

Each set has three to six different Enhancement versions. Multiples of the same set and version Enhancement cannot be slotted into one power, although they can be spread across multiple powers. Multiple distinct partial sets can also be slotted into one power, and will all give partial set benefits.

While a character can slot the same (full or partial) set multiple times in different powers, he cannot benefit from more than five copies of any one set bonus of the exact same attribute and amount. This is a stronger restriction than simply being limiting to five copies of each set. It means that if two different sets give the same size bonus to the same thing, the character can't get more than 5x that bonus even if he uses a mix of sets.

Example: The Kinetic Combat set can give +1.5% Max Health and +3.3% Immobilization Resistance. The Mako's Bite set can give +1.5% Max Health and +2.75% Immobilization Resistance. If a character slots four partial sets of both, he will receive the full total of 24.2% Immobilization Resistance but only +7.5% Max Health because he cannot get more than five Max Health bonuses of exactly +1.5%.

There is one slight further wrinkle to this limit of five. Global benefits are tracked separately from set bonuses and from each other, based on the IO providing them. For instance, a character can benefit from up to five global benefits of Luck of the Gambler: Defense/Increased Recharge Speed, which gives a global +7.5% bonus to Recharge Rate, as well as up to five set bonuses of +7.5% Recharge. If there were another global IO that also gave +7.5% Recharge, that character could benefit from up to five copies of that one as well.

Enhancement Diversification applies as it does with all Enhancements, based on the total amount of bonus from the Enhancements themselves. Neither special benefits nor set bonuses are affected by ED.

Basic Bonus Values

Each bonus has a power level. Generally, the higher level sets give bigger bonuses. The bonuses in the tables on the Invention Origin Enhancement Sets page 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 One (base) bonuses.

Level Color Bonus Strength
One Green x 1 (Base)
Two Blue x 1.5
Three Black x 2
Four Orange x 2.5
Five Red x 3
Six Purple x 3.5
Seven Purple x 4

Set bonuses listed in purple are all level 7 bonuses. Level 6 bonuses are allowed for in the code, but no sets have been established yet that actually use them; so all Purple bonuses should be assumed as level 7

Base Values

Below are the Level One base values for the set bonuses. Multiply this value by the multiplier for the level of the bonus to get the actual bonus value.
