Enhancement Traits

Enhancement Traits are bonus effects that can be foucnd on a select few enhancements in AQWorlds. They can fire off an extra skill, increase or decrease your stats, and give you more options to create your own build with!

There are several places where Enhancement Traits can come from- Awe Enhancements, Forge Enhancements, Spitfire Enhancements, and One-Eyed Gem enhancements. Normally, your enhancement pattern (e.g. Fighter, Thief, Spellbreaker, etc.) is separate from your enhancement trait, but several enhancement traits only appear on one type of enhancement pattern.

You can identify your enhancement pattern and trait by either looking in your inventory’s item preview, or in the stats panel.
