Beyond simply equipping gear, you can further enhance your items through Enhancements and Augment Slots. Enhancements are applied to gear pieces to increase their base stats. These are typically purchased from vendors using Source Marks or other currencies. Each gear piece has a limited number of enhancement slots, and applying an enhancement consumes it. Always prioritize enhancing your highest item level gear. Augment Slots are found on specific gear pieces (usually Chest, Legs, Weapon, Rings, Neck, Trinket) and allow you to slot in Augments. Augments are special items that provide passive stat bonuses and can be leveled up using Exobytes and Source Marks. There are different types of augments (e.g., Might, Precision, Dominance, Restoration, Vitalization) that correspond to different roles. Properly slotting and leveling your augments is crucial for maximizing your character's Combat Rating and overall effectiveness in end-game content.
