Or Perhaps I Am Just Too Subtle- 09.30.2009 Septimus

[Septimus]

Those who paid attention to the July 15th, 2009 update learned of the existence of the Random Stat Generator™ which is the basis of all gear created for Final Fantasy XI, but brought to provenance with the creation of augmented gear. Before the introduction of augmented gear, each update would only bring a few dozen new pieces of new gear with strange, purposeless, useless, or just plain weird stat combinations. Since the implementation of the augmented gear system, now people can feel the thrill of disappointment of patch day every single day with by wasting time and gil on completely haphazard rewards from battles and missions that so rarely ever pay dividends.


No, I am sure you are asking yourself, how can I reproduce that same feeling without going through the process of spending gil, fighting monsters, or even when not in game. Well friend, have I got something for you! Our crack team of Ninja spies have smuggled the algorithms for the Random Stat Generator™ out of Square-Enix headquarters, allowing us to simulate the experience for you.

We at BG proudly present the Augment-O-Matic!

It just makes me sad that the BG server doesn't have the right tools to allow the print feature to work.

It is a shame, I think the update would have been a lot more popular if people would have been able to make sigs out of the augments.

Futurama references are perfect.
