Patch Notes – 04/01/2026
We've introduced a new Bolster System that keeps players competitive regardless of gear level, while still rewarding optimized builds and high end equipment.
Armor Bolster
Grants a temporary protection boost if your armor is below expected benchmarks.
Evaluation factors:
* Equipped gear and armor type (Assault, Battle, Recon).
* Total protection (kinetic, energy, elemental)
Minimum benchmarks:
Battle: 6000 / 6000
Assault: 7000 / 5000
Recon: 5000 / 7000
If below these values, your armor is scaled up to match.
Rules:
* Only fills missing protection, never exceeds caps
* Type scaling:
Assault → kinetic focus
Recon → energy focus
Battle → balanced
* Mixed sets align to a dominant type
* No effect if already at/above benchmark
Stat Bolster (Attachments)
Provides temporary stats for under optimized gear.
Functionality:
* Each piece contributes to a capped stat budget
* If below +25 x 3, boosted to +25 (Con, Luck, Agility)
* If +26 x 3 or higher, no boost is applied
Limits:
* Per-piece cap: 75 total stats
* Only fills missing stats up to the target budget
Active in Heroic, Hardmode, Challenge Mode, and Legendary instances.
Weapon
If a player’s weapon is deemed underpowered, it will be bolstered. The system automatically applies to the currently equipped weapon. If you switch weapons during an instance, the bolster will be removed from the previous weapon and applied to the new one.
Bolstering only increases minimum and maximum damage, it does not affect elemental damage.
This system is designed to help new or ungeared players participate in endgame content, without making them equal to players with top-tier gear.
If your minimum damage is above the benchmark but your maximum is below, it will be bolstered, and vice versa.
Note: If a player equips a lightsaber without crystals, enters an instance, and then adds crystals, the system will recalculate automatically and apply or remove the bolster as needed.
Active in Heroic, Hardmode, Challenge Mode, and Legendary instances.
What this means:
Fresh level 90 players can enter these activities with minimal setup, just configure expertise, toolbar, and basic jewelry. Bolster provides enough baseline power to participate and complete content effectively.
