" + " ?

Those are reinforcement levels.

You can find some items that already have a few reinforcement levels.
Else, you can reinforce any item you use by talking to a NPC (in the street between the plaza and the port). It requires slormites.

Each reinforcement level boost the strenght of all the stats on an item. It can also reinforce some legendary effects.
But it doesn't increase the bonus to mastery, attribute or slorm reapers.

If you add a stat or replace a stat on an item that has already been reinforced, the new stat will get the full benefit of the reinforcement.
+1 gives +15% to stats
+2 adds +14% more (so +29%)
+3 adds +13% more (so +42%)
...
+15 adds +1% more (so +120%)
All following reinforcements give an additionnal +1%.
And you can reinforce an item infinitely (but the cost increases each time).
(So if you have an item giving you 100 armor and you manage to reinforce it 30 times, it will now gives you 235 armor.)


Keep in mind that reinforcement as crafting are features that are primarily meant for endgame but are already fully available in the EA for characters that are still only at the end of act 1.
Using it "too much" will break the intended balance of the game. It's not necessarily an issue. Just something to keep in mind.

nice to know, thank you for the response. the items with the "+" that i have found are minor and not worth doing that to. i need many more slorm and $$ to get into it at the moment. i have finished the grave yard and am waiting for the prison. i am doing the expeditions.
thanks again
