I recently looted this item called a skill-enhancing attachment off of a mob. This is the first time I've ever found one and had some questions about it. It doesn't say any duration time so does that mean that it lasts forever? Also, do I have to use it on something like a piece of armor that I then equip or does using it just adjust my skill on its own?

I have seen these for sale on bazzar terms asswell and was thinking of purchasing one. Maybe they can be crafted and you could ask the person posting it.

Examine the item to see what skill it adjusts. You can put these in clothing that has slots for it. The name will be yellow if it has a slot, so if the clothing has a yellow name then check to make sure it doesn't already have the slots occupied and you simply drag and drop the enhancing item onto the clothes with an available slot. Then whenever you have that article of clothing equiped you get the bonus. I haven't seen anything that even would give a noticeable bonus though, they are so miniscule it really won't make a difference.

What about backpacks. I dragged the skill-enhancing attachment onto it and it just dropped it into the backpack's contents.

i have found 2 different kinds of enancments


1 looks like a computer chip or something it flat


the other looks like a role of tape



now ive heard that the tape is for clothing and the chip is for armor but i also have a backpack with 4 slots left on it and if i drag it onto the pack it goes into the pack doing nothing and if i clcik use nothing happens

I was curious about backpacks too, so I asked the guy who crafted the one I bought and he said that the slots thing for packs are broken, so right now all you can do is hang on to it and hope they get fixed.

They are nice except for one thing. They currently do not work, you need to wait until the big patch comeone some time in the unknown future.

Actually mine have been working. When I wear the clothing it is reflected on my skill sheet. Carbine Accuracy +45,+50 is how mine reads with the +5 one I added to the clothing. i have several other piecesof clothing with them and they all reflect the change when I wear them.

they are broken, whenever i equiped my enhanced items it would list my stats as +40. when i took off it'd go to +37. and i'd have to relog to get it back to +40. (it's +40 naturally, should've went to +43)

Maybe some work.. and some don't... but I do know for a fact the ones I use *WORK*


Let me explain them first ...


Skill enhancers come in two flavors - 1 set for armor (the graphic looks kind of like a computer disc) and 1 set for clothing (the graphic looks like a roll of tape). I have personally only used the ones for clothing. (1 specific to food crafting and 1 for clothing experimentation)


I will explain sockets for clothing - can't hep ya on the armor end, but I will assume it works in a similar way


When a tailor crafts an item - it has a chance to be created with sockets in it. As posted above, if an item has sockets on it, it generally has Yellow text when viewed in your inventory. You can then use the radial and 'examine' it to see exactly how many sockets it has.


Each '1' skill point on a skill enhancer takes 1 socket... so if you have a skill enhancer that is '2 Rescue' then you need an item of clothing that has 2 sockets in it.


Now here is the kicker.... Skill enhancers CANNOT be removed from an item of clothing (maybe they will change this in the future.... but I doubt it). They do not expire.. but eventually clothing decay will be implemented and then things will start to wear out.


If anyone has any other questions regarding clothing/sockets feel free to PM me here or if you are on Kauri, you can email me ingame.
