It increases only by getting higher rated gear for any particular slot.
Marketplace Improvements
We have streamlined our Marketplace interface by consolidating items and by adding a few new categories; DLC, On Sale, and Suits. The On Sale category will provide players an easy way to see all items that are on sale. This category will only be present when a sale is occurring. In the Suits category, we have organized certain style items into sets.

Fight for your side, and reap the rewards, including a new Diving Helmet and Atlantean themed base items.
Combat Improvements
We have taken significant steps to improve and tighten combat mechanics to ensure our combat system was reaching its full potential. These changes affect combat game wide, specifically in client/server synchronization, NPCs respecting suppression game effects properly, NPCs’ breaking out rules more closely resembling players, and counter immunity improvements.
New PvP Maps, Modes, and Rewards Structure
Team up with an ally to assault or defend a Lair in a 2v2 sudden death arena battle! Or, go it alone on the new Shadowlands 1v1 map in Arenas and Legends!
Daily rewards for Arenas and Legends have been split into winners’ and participants’. There are now rewards received for a victory (at the end of the match on a win), and rewards received for participation (at the end of the match, regardless of win or loss).

Gotham and Metropolis Abductions!
Mysterious cults are actively abducting civilians in Gotham City and Metropolis. Track ?The Age of Sin Begins? in your Mission Journal to find out more.
Legends Power Cost Balance
We have re-evaluated and balanced ability power costs across all Legends characters. The most noticeable differences will be felt when playing more recently released Legends characters, who had abilities with power costs higher than intended.
Enhanced Paradox Wave Loot
We have enhanced the gear rewards from the Paradox Wave Raid to be more in line with the difficulty the raid presents. All items that drop from the Paradox Wave Raid have had their item levels raised from level 86 to 87, and 87 to 88 respectively. This will affect gear that players have already earned from this Raid.
