To allow players to improve their various armor, clothing, robes, rings, trinkets, or other forms of gear or jewlery would add n ability for players to further customize, and improve their gear. Here are my suggeated imprivement methods:

Armor kits: Armor kits could include strips of cloth, leather, chains, mail, or plate to add additional protection to the armor.
Benifit: An increase in armor value of the selected gear peices.
Applicable to: Head, Shoulders, Torso, Legs (Shoes?)

Enchantments: Enchantments infuse various peices of gear or jewlery with magic, allowing for an increase in various attributes.
Benifits: Enchantments focus primarily on secondary attributes, and add great increases to these attributes. Although only one enchantment can be placed at a time, it is always replacable with another enchantment.
Applicable to: Head, Neck, Shoulders, Torso, Back, Hands, Waist, Legs, Feet, Rings, Earrings, Weapons (Aura?)

Gems: Gems are precious stones that add a stat, or attribute improvement in predetermined sockets of gear. The various colors and sizes will add different attributes and amount of improvements. My suggested color scheme includes:
Benifit:
- Red: Aegis
- Orange: Strength
- Yellow: Agility
- Green: Vitality
- Blue: Intelligence
- Purple: Wisdom
Applicable to: Head, Neck, Shoulders, Torso, Hands, Waist, Legs, Rings, Earrings, Weapons

Inscription/Embroidery: A carving (Embriodery for cloth armor) of a word or phrase into the amor, that can bring various inprovements to stats and attributes.
Benifits: Words or phrases of power could be used to increase a single stat or attribute greatly, but only one inscription/embriodery could be placed on a peice of armor. It may never be removed once it has been placed.
Applicable to: Head, Neck, Shoulders, Torso, Back, Hands, Legs, Rings, Earrings, Weapons

Other: Other improvements to gear or armor may include chains, poisons, wraps, buckles, or spurs
Benifits: Benifits from wraps, buckles, and spurs are very broad, and may include an increase in armor, attributes, and many other factors.
Applicable to:
- Chains: Back/ Weapons
- Buckles: Belts
- Poisons: Weapons
- Wraps/Spurs: Feet
