Overview
Winter Origin (WO) Enhancements are all-unique and attuned enhancements. There are four damage sets and a hold set, for a total of five sets. Standard winter enhancements grant set bonuses that are roughly equivalent to rare enhancement sets, while superior winter enhancements grant set bonuses that are roughly equivalent to very rare enhancement sets. Each standard enhancement has a level 10 minimum requirement, but as an attuned enhancement, the enhancement portion will increase as the character's level increases. The enhancement portion is affected by exemplar as normal. Set bonuses for standard and superior enhancements will operate down to level 1.
Note that winter enhancements are not Inventions: they do not need to be crafted. Once claimed from the "Character Item" tab of the Email Window, they appear in the character's enhancement tray and are ready to be slotted.
Players can both trade and email all winter enhancements.
Availability
Winter enhancements are available from the following sources:
- As Rare or Very Rare items in Lords of Winter Super Packs.
- On the Auction House.
- Reward Merit Vendors for 100 Reward Merits, although this is unlikely to be the cheapest option compared to buying a high demand item with the Merits, selling that item on the AH, and buying the WOs there.
Superior Enhancements
Enhancement catalysts can be applied to the standard enhancements to boost them to "Superior" versions with higher enhancement values and bigger set bonuses. However, catalyzing a winter enhancement will also increase the minimum level requirement to 50, similar to very rare (purple) enhancements. To catalyze a whole standard set into a superior set, a player must have six enhancement catalysts, as each piece must be catalyzed separately.
Standard and superior enhancements of the same type are mutually exclusive; a character cannot slot both Avalanche: Accuracy/Damage and Superior Avalanche: Accuracy/Damage. This means that set bonuses are limited; a character can get the first and second set bonuses twice (by slotting three standard pieces and three superior pieces), or the first set bonus twice and the second and third set bonus once (by slotting two and four pieces), but cannot get the third, fourth, and fifth bonuses from both sets. Note that the set bonuses for the standard and superior versions are different; the superior version grants higher bonuses.
Inconsistency
While winter enhancements typically state they can be slotted into a broad selection of powers, in practice they appear to be limited to primary and/or secondary power selections. It has been shown through testing, that despite qualifying as acceptable powers, most Ancillary Power Pool powers, Power Pool powers and powers from the Patron Power Pools seem unable to accept the slotting of winter enhancements. Whether this is a bug or working as intended has not been verified by a developer at this time.
