Once your followers hit level 100, you can equip them with gear, essentially. There are only two pieces - armor and weapons, both of which start off at iLvl 600. You can acquire the gear for your followers from Garrison Missions, Salvage Crates, and from the work orders at the War Mill.
I believe there are two levels of upgrades. Each level has an Uncommon (green), Rare (blue), and Epic (purple) enhancement. The lower level of upgrades is 3, 6, 9 and the higher level is 15, 30, 45.
The current max for followers' iLvl is 655. How do you get there? Well, certain enhancements stack. Generally, the worse enhancements tend to stack on top of the better ones (or, the more common ones tend to stack on the rarer ones). As an example, let's pretend that we have three upgrades: 3, 6, 9.
Using the 3 first and then the 6 will cause the 6 to overwrite the 3, giving us an iLvl of 606. However, if we use the 9 first, then the 6, then the 3 we will end up with an iLvl of 618. It should also be noted that the 3 stacks upon itself at least 3 times (haven't tried more). I haven't tried stacking anything other than the 3s, but thinking about it now it kind of makes sense that it would work. I'll try it out tonight and report back!
The higher level of upgrades does not work the same way. If you use a 30 first and then a 15, you're given a message that you can't add them together. So in order to reach max (or close enough) starting with a 30, you need to add a 9, 6, and then three 3s. I've only seen one 45 so far, but have begun getting 30s from Garrison Missions. I believe this is related to the iLvl of your follower.
Once your followers hit level 100, you get the level 100 quests. Once you have at least one follower with an average iLvl of 615, you start getting 615 quests. It works the same way with iLvl 630 and 630 quests, so I assume there are also 645 quests. Followers that do not have at least 615 iLvl cannot help contribute to 615 quests so it is sometimes hard to find the right combination.
