I am still a noob to the game and I am having trouble understanding exactly how to modify gear, what are the benefits, and a list of what each modification does. Can anyone steer me to a guide? Thanks.

Hello there, Anglerx!

 

Sticked at the top of this forum, you'll find a great deal of guides. New Player Help has so many that we've started the New Players Fleet Pass: A Directory of Resources to showcase how helpful our community is! Inside, you'll see Criminall's Modding Guide, which should be perfect for what you're looking for. If you're the type who likes to plan ahead, we also have Wolten's Gearing up for fresh level 50s. Hope that helps!
