You assumption is pretty baseless in fact the tweet said that if you didn't like the augment you could erase it. If you can't choose your augment it makes far more sense they'd let you erase them. Generally when you look at 90% of augments outside of ToTM they are all random with parameters. It would be nice to dream that SE would let us pick the specific stats but at most I bet we might be able set some parameters if we're lucky.

Guess what stat I'd have to augment onto a Salvage, abjuration, or sky set for it to be worthwhile for Dancer.

Spoiler: show

The dancer job

My interests, this is relevant to them.

You know it in your hearts to be true.

Honestly I am impressed that we will be able to overwrite the augments. The old dev team will tell us that we could re-augment the gear, by throwing out the old gear and obtaining a new item to augment.

Now, if they wanted to impress me, we would get this:

I don't think it's an evolith system anymore, mainly because of the picture, which I hadn't really paid attention to. But you can indeed erase evolith augments on equipment with Revertant. The reasoning behind this is that you can potentially replace them with better evoliths. Same reasoning can be applied here. Very weird that they're choosing to do these through synergy though, which is why I initially thought of evoliths. But I agree, it's more likely that it's not going to be the same system. The wording on the translation makes it iffy.

This, 1000 times the fury of an exploding sun this.

PS. I hope you guys enjoyed storing your gear, because you won't be able to once you augment it.

Fuck me. I totally forgot about that minor point.

New series concerning Synergy stuffs (readable order from top to bottom).

Thanks so much for your feedback on yesterday’s tweets regarding synergy. We’d like to address some of your concerns!

Skill: You’ll be able to take on the augmenting of gear solo and we're planning to make the required skill level rather low. (1/2)

However, if you’re planning on aiming for that sweet HQ, it’d be better to have a higher skill level. (2/2)

Stats:Using Emp. +1 as a comparison, stats will fluctuate. Working to make it so stats will be close to +2 if you make HQ2/HQ3. (1/3)

However, due to reasons such as not changing the level to equip gear, it’s difficult to make stats that would outweigh +2s. (2/3)

All the stats will be positive and you can overwrite and remove them, but you won’t be able to do this for specific stats only. (3/3)

So it sounds like they're taking some things in the right direction. But still, I'd so much rather it not involve Synergy at all...

[orson]

Well good luck to all those people obsessed with upgrading their salvage/king/sky/etc. gear. No storage and SE is saying at best they'll be equal to +2 gear (it's a good thing it seems easier to HQ synergy.) Our only hope is that the stats added are static like NQ +6 str -2% physical, HQ +7 str -3% physical. I totally agree with Thalandor46 synergy is freaking stupid to be involved in this.

[TehKerm]

I dont see the issue with it honestly, not like synergy is hard to lvl or do lol

[gairaiden]

i think in the first time in my 6 years of ffxi i finally found something to choke SE devs over. upgrading our 75 gear SHOULD NOT involve fucking synergy much less random number generator stats. looks like SE gave us back the old herp derp team. I dislike very much they are making old gear synergy upgraded however it wouldn't be nearly as bad if we got some sorta new materials to upgrade the shit and had set stats added that we know wtf we're getting instead of trying god knows how many times (+4 haste bestia legs says hi) to HQ the shit with good stats. if the hq rate is anything like trying to get haste+4 bestia legs then this is gonna be a bitch.

[Shenrien]

I'd much rather have a Kill X-NM with Gear equipped Y-many times rather fuck around with synergy, but that's just me.

[Eanae]

You'll have to kill X-NM to get Y-Item to fuck around with synergy I'm sure.

Ebody and ridill becoming relevant again would probably be the only thing to bring me back to XI now. Here's hoping.

Hey me too, that and my Salvage Gear, Haidate, etc. Oh.. and some actual fun end game again. :/

It's all time investment/luck and no skill. Some of that shit will more than likely be BIS for something (Haidate is BIS for Hi outside Abyssea for example, even now), so the guy with the best gear is simply the person willing to put the most time in. Basically they want us to work more rather than smarter, which I find boring.

[Kuishen]

Dear SE,

If you're paying attention to our feedback you should notice the overwhelming bad reaction to using synergy in the use of upgrading old gear. Just stop now and do something else with it. Nobody ever liked that shit, ever.

Thanks.

It's sad to say it now, but I miss 3 kings/cerb/khim/tia.

Upgrade an empyrean weapon and you can feel the terrific brand of FFXI competition again, competing for ???s to pop NMs!

(I don't understand you people at all.)
