Armor Enhancements


Armor enhancements are the equivalent of runes for armor. If a piece of armor has sockets, you can place enhancements in them to increase its armor value and give it other special abilities. Generally, the special abilities granted by armor enhancements are relatively weak, although you can add significant boosts to sign strength onto armor through enhancements.

Unless you’re playing a mage build that relies heavily on signs, it’s best to slot armor with enhancements that give the biggest bonuses possible. Some enhancements can be crafted from diagrams, but the most powerful enhancements generally must be found and looted.
