Enhancement Boosters
Its any enhancer.
Not *ANY* enhancement. It doesn't work on T/D/SO or the special enhancements like Hydra, Titan, Hamidon, and Synthetic Hamidon. Just any invention enhancement.

Agge's correct as usual, of course (darn her fast typing! ). Also, note that while they are designed to work on IOs, they do NOT enhance any procs such as the Numina's Convalescence +Regen/+Recovery, Performance Shifter +END, etc. (but they DO enhance benefits some procs provide, such as the +DEF from the Luck of the Gambler +7.5% Recharge IO).

Also, I added a clarification to the wiki to note that it works on both set pieces and common pieces.

Also also, I just had an hysterical thought:
Force Bolt with a level 50+5 KB enhancement (+95.5% in ONE ENHANCEMENT). Hellion Bowling just became waaayyy more awesome.

I think I'm more confused now than when I started reading the thread. It will for this but not for that. Yes on that but no on this. Yes if this has that but not if that has this? Bah. How's about a good old fashioned list of what works and what doesn't, eh Devs?

Does the bonus get bigger as the enhancement goes up in level?
Yes - It is affected by enhancement boosters.
No - It is not affected by enhancement boosters.
Any static bonuses (LotG Recharge - 7.5%, 3% Defense, etc) are not upgraded.

Yes it works:
* Crafted Invention Origin Enhancement - Common or Set
No it does not work:
* Proc IO
* Global IO
* Training Origin Enhancement
* Dual Origin enhancement
* Single Origin Enhancement
* Titan Origin Enhancement
* Hamidon Origin Enhancement
* Going Rogue Bonus Enhancements
Special Note: The Luck of the Gambler Global Defense/+7.5% recharge is special in that an Enhancement Booster will boost the Defense portion as any Set IO, but not the Recharge Portion (as it is a global power).
Is anything missing?

Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.
Aggie pretty much gave you the list but here:

Easiest way to figure if boosters will work for your enhancement:
Question 1: Did you or another player craft it?
Y: GOTO Q2.
N: Will not work. (T/D/SO, Special-Os like Hami, Market Os)
Question 2: Does it have an enhancement value? (versus a proc or global bonus)
Y: WORKS! (the DEF part of DEF/+RECH)
N: Will not work. (the +RECH part of DEF/+RECH)
As a somewhat related tangent, enhancement UNSLOTTERS work on EVERY enhancement, they don't care about type.

I really appreciate that. I just checked the updated article and it's crystal clear to me now. Now it's time to plan my templates, start shopping, and start boosting away!

What do you mean by "store bought" IOs? Do you mean the Paragon Market IOs that level with you?

If Justice Blues is correct (I use "if" since i haven't confirmed that myself), then this doesn't work.

That's an excerpt from my new book "If" the Most Misunderstood Word on the Internet - coming in May from Harper Collins.
Ok, I read what I could on the Paragon Wiki about them and tried to learn as much as I could before coming here to ask. But I wound up being confused.
Anyways, do Enhancement boosters only work on enhancements sets like Karma or Ghost Widows embrace? The Paragon Wiki makes it look like you could use it on the regular crafted IO Enhancements, but I am not totally sure and I am too scared to buy one and try to use it to find out since I don't use that many Enhancement sets.
