Enhancement Converter Salvage
Overview
Enhancement Converters can be used to convert IO, SBE, and ATO enhancements that a player may not want to a random enhancement from the same set, the same rarity, or the same "category" that the enhancement came from. They were introduced shortly after the release of Issue 22.
Enhancement Converters are Character Bound. Using a converter doesn't force the resulting enhancement to be Character Bound; the resulting enhancement can be traded like any other enhancement of the same type.
Enhancement Converters cannot be used on Common IOs, SOs, DOs, TOs, or any of the Special Enhancements.
Description
Enhancement Converters can be used to convert an enhancement to another within the same rarity (Uncommon, Rare, Very Rare, PvP or Archetype Origin Enhancement) or category (Melee Damage, Healing, Resist Damage, etc.). Alternatively, this salvage can be used to convert an enhancement within the same set for three times the cost in Enhancement Converters. You can access your enhancement converter interface by clicking on Enhancement on your power tray and then clicking on Convert.
Available Conversions
| Convert within Set (3 Converters) |
Convert within Rarity (1 Converter) |
Convert within Category (2 Converters) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Set IO | Any IO within its Set other than itself | Any other Set IO of same Rarity other than one from its own Set | Any other IO of the same level from with its Category regardless of Rarity. Choice not given if none exists. |
| Purple IO | Any Purple within its Set other than itself | Any other Purple except one from its own Set | N/A |
| PvP IO | Any PvP within its Set other than itself | Any other PvP except one from its own Set | N/A |
| SBE | Any SBE within its Set other than itself | Any other SBE except one from its own Set | N/A |
| ATO | Any ATO within its Set other than itself | Any other ATO except one from its own Set | N/A |
| Superior ATO | Any Superior ATO within its Set other than itself | Any other Superior ATO except one from its own Set | N/A |
- Enhancement Converters can turn any Set Enhancement (even Boosted ones) into a different Enhancement from that same Set for 3 Converters.
- Converters can turn any Set Enhancement into one from a different Set but with the same rarity for 1 Converter. An Uncommon piece could turn into any other Uncommon piece, but wouldn't turn into a Rare piece, nor would it turn into a Purple or PVP IO, or a SBE or ATO.
- For Uncommon and Rare IOs, there is a Category conversion where the IO turns into an Enhancement from another Set within its own Slotting Category (e.g., Melee, Healing, Ranged, etc...), as long as it exists at the level of the converted IO. Note that these conversions cannot become Very Rare (Purple) IOs. When converting within a Category, Uncommons may become Rares and vice versa, but they may not become Very Rares.
- E.g., A level 50 Doctored Wounds (Uncommon) could become a random level 50 Numina's Convalescence (Rare) and vice versa. But neither would become a Panacea PvP Healing IO, nor a Miracle (not available at level 50).

Currently on live, Enhancement Converters can be purchased starting at level 10 from Reward Merit Vendors, for 10 Reward Merits and 250,000 Inf for each converter. Enhancement Converters can also be received as a random drop from defeated enemies.
