Socket Enhancement Attachments (SEAs)

Socket Enhancement Attachments (SEAs) are a cornerstone of equipment customization, allowing folks to permanently enhance their gear with stat or skill modifiers. Each piece of equipment—whether a blaster, a suit of armor, or a stylish shirt—has up to four sockets, each capable of holding one SEA that boosts a specific attribute, such as Luck, Accuracy, or Dodge Chance. SEAs are created through a  process involving experience points (XP), modifier bits, and an Enhancement Synthesizers, offering everyone a way to tailor their equipment to their preferred playstyle, from combat prowess to crafting efficiency.
 

Obtaining SEAs

To obtain an SEA, follow these steps:

1. Visit a Skill Trainer:
   • Seek out one of the many skill trainers across the galaxy, such as a Marksman trainer, found in cities or outposts.
   • Access the trainer’s dialogue and select the option to purchase modifier bits using your experience points (XP). The cost varies based on the modifier’s type and power level:
     • Less powerful modifiers can provide boosts up to +36.
     • More powerful modifiers have a lower cap, such as +6, reflecting their potency.
2. Purchase Modifier Bits:
   • Spend XP to acquire a Modifier Bit. These bits determine the specific stat or skill boost the SEA will provide, such as increased Health or Crit Chance.
3. Acquire an Enhancement Synthesizer:
   • Obtain an Enhancement Synthesizer tailored to the equipment type you wish to enhance:
     • Weapon Enhancement Synthesizer: Crafted by Weaponsmiths, designed for blasters, vibroblades, and other weapons.
     • Armor Enhancement Synthesizer: Crafted by Armorsmiths, suited for protective gear like composite armor.
     • Clothing Enhancement Synthesizer: Crafted by Tailors, ideal for shirts, jackets, and other attire.
   • These synthesizers are crafted using astroid resources.
4. Convert Modifier Bits to SEAs:
   • Use the appropriate Enhancement Synthesizer to convert your modifier bit into a single SEA. The synthesizer processes the bits, creating an SEA ready for application to your equipment.
5. Apply SEAs to Equipment:
   • Apply SEAs to your equipment’s sockets via a drag-and-drop interface or radial menu. Each of the many equipment pieces has up to four sockets, allowing up to four SEAs per item.

Modifier Bits

The Modifier Bits table below outlines the various Modifier Bits available in SWG Nexus for creating Socket Enhancement Attachments (SEAs). It includes the bit name, the XP type and cost required to purchase, the maximum power level (from +4 to +35), and the corresponding skill trainer. Covering combat, crafting, and support enhancements, this table is a growing resource—more bits will be added as the system expands, so check back for updates.
