I've tried combining mods with the same markings (as in circle with a shield shape with triangle with a shield shape) but that doesn't seem to be the key. Sorry but I find this "mods" bit very confusing. Thanks

Each type - the symbol on the mod has a different number of mods needed to combine for a set bonusYou can press the bottom area to see the listing, here is a partial list

The image on the mod doesn't affect the stats on the mod itself. All mod sets roll from the same pool of stats. When you equip enough mods from the same set, you'll get a bonus based on the set. In the example you provided, you should have gotten a Defense set bonus. This doesn't show up on the mods themselves, it just gets added to your character's stats. You can see which bonuses are active by looking at the circles below your equipped mods, as indicated by Kyno above.Offense, Crit Damage, and Speed sets require four mods, so you can only get one of those set bonuses. The other sets only require two, so you could get each of those set bonuses as many as 3 times.The bonus is calculated off your character's "base stats," which I believe means any stats they have unmodded and not counting any gear they haven't yet "absorbed" i.e. if your character is at gear 11 and has one of the +6 speed detonators equipped towards gear 12, a speed set won't count that 6 speed when calculating how much the set bonus adds.

Arrows are the only mod that can have a speed primary.

Primaries don’t affect the set bonus; that relates only the picture on the mod.

On top of what Naraic said, it's the symbol on the mod that determines the bonus, not the stats. E.g., if you have 6 health mods with speed secondaries and a speed primary on the arrow, you get 3 times the health bonus for 3 pairs of 2. The mod stats apply on top of this, meaning you also get more speed even though you only have health mods.With speed mods, you have to pick another mod type to get a second bonus. This can be either health, defense, potency or critical chance. Everything else needs a set of 4. In your case, it would make sense to farm another potency mod with speed secondary.

I ran out of time before I could finish my thought. You can buy mods in the mod store, but you don't want to waste currency on anything not showing 5 speed on a 5 dot mod. Arrows at 5 dots with 4 speed primary being the exception. People that have god mods got them by winnowing through LOTS of mods.

Each stat can upgrade 4 times. "God" mods are ones where speed secondaries have procced multiple times with a bonus of 6 per time - leaving you with a speed secondary of 29. I have none of these.

If a mod starts with 6 secondary speed and increases by 6 speed four more times, then the mod will have 30 secondary speed. Slice the mod to six dot, and it can have 31 speed.
