Overview

Enhancement Boosters are available on the Paragon Market and through the Paragon Rewards Program. When applied to Invention Origin Enhancements (IOs), it increases the effectiveness of the enhancement by 5%, without changing the base level of the enhancement. IOs can be boosted by a maximum of 25%, or Level X+5.

Utilizing Schedule A enhancements, for example, a level 30 Damage IO buffs damage by 34.8%. Boosting it with one Enhancement Booster brings it to 36.54% enhancement, which is just under a level 35 in enhancement value, while still allowing a level 27 character to slot it. Boosting it with five Enhancement Boosters brings it up to 43.5%, which is higher than a level 50 Damage IO, and still allows a level 27 character to slot it!

Due to the percentage multiplier, the higher level an IO is, the bigger the boost becomes; a level 50 Schedule A IO with five boosts goes from 42.4% to 53%!

Boost Values

The following table shows the percentage multiple boosters grant, and by what multiplier an IO will be modified by, followed by specific enhancement examples.
