  • Standard Enhancements: These are the most basic type, found as drops from enemies or purchased from vendors. They come in various levels (e.g., Level 5, Level 10) and provide a flat bonus to a single stat.
  • Superior Enhancements: These are higher-tier standard enhancements, offering better bonuses than their regular counterparts. They are less common drops and more expensive to purchase.

Each power has a limited number of enhancement slots, so choose wisely. Early on, focus on enhancements that boost your primary damage or defense stats. As you level, you'll transition to more powerful options like Invention Origin Enhancements.
