[dev1013] Introduction of Synergy Augments

• After the synergy process is complete, players will have the chance to confirm the potential augments and choose whether to implement or abandon them.

If the augments are implemented, the equipment's statistics will be overwritten.
If the augments are not implemented, the equipment's statistics will remain in their existing state.

Augments that have been added through Synergy can be removed.
The closer the elemental balance is to an ideal state, the more augments can be added.
Recipes may be obtained by speaking with the Synergy Engineer NPCs stationed next to synergy furnaces.
Crafting skills are not required.
• The first installment of Synergy augments added in the upcoming version update will affect the following items:

Genbu's Shield / Genbu's Kabuto / Suzaku's Scythe / Suzaku's Sune-Ate / Seiryu's Sword / Seiryu's Kote / Byakko's Axe / Byakko's Haidate / Kirin's Pole / Kirin's Osode / Hecatomb Cap / Hecatomb Harness / Hecatomb Mittens / Hecatomb Subligar / Hecatomb Leggings / Hecatomb Cap +1 / Hecatomb Harness +1 / Hecatomb Mittens +1 / Hecatomb Subligar +1 / Hecatomb Leggings +1 / Koenig Schaller / Koenig Cuirass / Koenig Handschuhs / Koenig Diechlings / Koenig Schuhs / Kaiser Schaller / Kaiser Cuirass / Kaiser Handschuhs / Kaiser Diechlings / Kaiser Schuhs / Adaman Celata / Adaman Hauberk / Adaman Mufflers / Adaman Breeches / Adaman Sollerets / Armada Celata / Armada Hauberk / Armada Mufflers / Armada Breeches / Armada Sollerets / Shura Zunari Kabuto / Shura Togi / Shura Kote / Shura Haidate / Shura Sune-Ate / Shura Zunari Kabuto +1 / Shura Togi +1 / Shura Kote +1 / Shura Haidate +1 / Shura Sune-Ate +1 / Zenith Crown / Dalmatica / Zenith Mitts / Zenith Slacks / Zenith Pumps / Zenith Crown +1 / Dalmatica +1 / Zenith Mitts +1 / Zenith Slacks +1 / Zenith Pumps +1 / Crimson Mask / Crimson Scale Mail / Crimson Finger Gauntlets / Crimson Cuisses / Crimson Greaves / Blood Mask / Blood Scale Mail / Blood Finger Gauntlets / Blood Cuisses / Blood Greaves / Shadow Helm / Shadow Breastplate / Shadow Gauntlets / Shadow Cuishes / Shadow Sabatons / Valkyrie's Helm / Valkyrie's Breastplate / Valkyrie's Gauntlets / Valkyrie's Cuishes / Valkyrie's Sabatons / Shadow Hat / Shadow Coat / Shadow Cuffs / Shadow Trews / Shadow Clogs / Valkyrie's Hat / Valkyrie's Coat / Valkyrie's Cuffs / Valkyrie's Trews / Valkyrie's Clogs

I was hoping to fix up some salvage gear but i guess old abj junk might be useful.

[Julian]

Could still get some trial type things for salvage gear instead? idk

(or it will just come later)

[eotfofyl]

Ugh time to level synergy...

[AzazaelFenrir]

So I can upgrade shitty ass Sky weapons, but not my VFork? GG SE. . .

[Toth]

Geez so much stuff this week. What else are they going to tease us with next week? I guess just Voidwatch details.

[The Stig]

Would be funny to see a massive surge of demand in Dfeet and Dhands (and other pointless/lolworthy pieces but I don't remember any at the moment) if the augments prove worthwhile

We all knew this was going to be retarded. Even if there are some marginally worthwhile augments (probably extra +2 STR for WS's and such), they're not going to be good enough to warrant levelling Synergy and trying for the augment you want multiple times over.

[blue]

Give me a crit hit +5% on adaman hauberk or more physical dmg taken- on genbus shield and I will be happy.

[Nameless]

Give my adaberk store tp +10 i will thank you and no longer have to wear yellow armor....

[Not Kuno]

I dont want to wear retard mitts anymore god damn it.

[gairaiden]

Well depending wtf kinda augments SE gives us on this stuff this could revive sky/hnm's/einherjar a bit. If the hq augments (the augments promised to be on par with af3+2) are good then people will probably try to hunt down the current normal pieces to upgrade it. My guess is SE is probably planning to upgrade our old gear by expansion. Zilart this update, CoP next and so on. Keep in mind as well people that there is magian trials being added this update too so its possible other gear may be magian trial'd. SE did state the adjustments to old gear would have some be synergy upgraded and others magian upgraded.

/speculation off

[Nameless]

If they can scale my rajas ring to fit the current lvl cap like they said they are considering, then this would be the best update.... +6 stp yes please.

I am still waiting to uncurse my full shadow breastplate set, let's see if they become worthwhile...

[Taint]

Putting some STP on my Valkyrie's Breastplate would be the heat.

[Snprphnx]

come on guys. we all know Earth Resist+8 on Osode gonna be hot shit

[Karbuncle]

Somethingsomething-Complaining about no Salvage-somethingsomething

They said this is the first Installment, Sure their priorities could have been better, But Oh well. Looks like they just added Sky/Abjuration Armor. I'm sure Salvage/etc will be coming shortly.

Glad you guys are Stupid enough to think because the wording of the OP, that the "Synergy Augments" are going to erase and re-write the Original Stats on the armor like the Official Forums seem to think.

I swear I don't know how those people manage to remember how to breath every day.

[Classikmage]

Maybe get something hawt for my Heca Cap +1, put it back on top. =D

[Fievel]

I knew there was a reason I had a seiryu sword.

[Cail]

Is it gonna be using evoliths? Because atm, evoliths suck. What do I want Atk+5 vs. Dragons for on my ebody...

Isn't it random augment using synergy? pretty sure it has nothing to do with evoliths, may be wrong though.
