General

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 enhancement built with a higher level will give a higher bonus, so there is still incentive to upgrade as levels are gained.

Schedule A enhancements are set to 10% bonus at level 10, up to a maximum of a 42.4% bonus at level 50.

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 IO Enhancements are purchased at any Invention Worktable. Common IO enhancements are also drops from defeating enemies.

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

Main article: Invention Origin Enhancement Sets

For detailed information on the set bonuses, see Invention Origin Enhancement Set Bonuses. For details on individual sets see Category:Invention Sets. Set bonuses are earned from slotting more than one enhancement of a set into the same power. All set bonuses apply to the character at all times, regardless of the type of power into which the set is slotted.

Example of a set bonus 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 applies while the toggle is active and for two minutes after it becomes inactive.
  • If slotted into a passive, the bonus is given all the time.
  • If slotted into a click power, the bonus will last for two minutes each time the click power is activated.

Special Globals

There are a few Global IOs that do not function the same as the rest of the Globals. Once you slot these Global IOs, they function effectively the same as Set Bonuses. This means they are "always on," regardless of whether they are in a toggle, passive, or click power. (source)

The Decimation: Chance for Buildup, Induced Coma: Chance for Recharge Slow, and Pacing of the Turtle: Chance for Recharge Slow Global IOs are still triggered like any other proc, but are lumped into this group because they actually apply a power to the target instead of merely giving them a bonus attribute. In actual play, it would still appear to follow the every ten seconds in a toggle or per activation rule.

Unique enhancements

A very small set of enhancements will be considered Unique. If an enhancement is Unique, only one of that enhancement can be slotted per character, not one per power like the rest of the rare IOs.

  • No more than one enhancement in a set is marked as Unique (though this could change).
  • Only 13 enhancements, total, are currently marked as Unique.
  • The +Stealth IOs are Unique, and also "mutually exclusive," meaning only one of them will function; you cannot stack them even if you have one Celerity and one Unbounded Leap.
  • "Impervious Skin: Status Resistance" is currently coded to allow no more than one copy of Impervious Skin (the power that grants the actual resistance), instead of capping at 5 like other Set Bonuses, even though you can slot the enhancement multiple times. This is either an error with the enhancement not being marked Unique, or having the wrong stacking cap value. (source)
