Components
Upgrade components are items that can be put into weapons, trinkets, or gathering tools in order to give an added bonus or effect when the item is used. They are an essential component of crafting and can be obtained by salvaging or bought from vendors. They can also be found in the form of drops, either from enemies or from item spheres.

This will increase your experience and enable you to move up the levels of equipment or weapon a lot easier to achieve.
