Introduction of synergy augments!

[ronin sparthos]

Fear not, evoliths will still be worthless.

SE hasn't said exactly what the Synergy will require besides the original gear but its safe to say that it'll be something new (GoV connected?) and simple.

Well that or synthesis materials you can buy off the AH to support the economy. lolXIeconomy

[Cail]

Good cuz fuck evoliths. Shit was a waste of time

[BorkBorkBork]

Woot upgraded Koening will make my PLD.....shit nvm it's still gonna be worthless.

[Vlint]

Once it's augmented, it won't be able to go back into the porter moogle slip will it? =(

[Dooom]

I imagine not; or if you can, it would lose any augments.

[Jeryhn]

I imagine this is a non-issue, since you can remove the augments.

I have a Dalmatica just rotting on a storage slip and decently leveled Synergy, I'll probably give this a shot. If nothing comes of it, no matter, I still have Pluviale.

[Syntex]

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.

This man speaks the truth. I got enough shit to do in abyssea still then to waste my time with 1-2 more stats on a WS.

[Malacite]

Eh some more +STR on Heca could be really sexy >_>

Otherwise yeah, wtf @ no Salvage gear. Interesting that you can augment shortbus' shield though.

I've been leveling Synergy for this update and I have to tell you, leveling Synergy is very, very dull. 31.4 now.

[LinktheDeme]

Kirin's Osode is the only tradeable item on that list it seems

Its far easier to level than other crafts, at least. >.>

[Zouri]

It would be nice to get a pet reward+10% on a kirin's osode..... one can only dream though...

edit:

you missed Kirin's Pole

[Spira]

woulda been nice if they gave us a new picture example of what could be a possible synergy reward...
I'd imagine the materials you synthesize it with play a part in its outcome.. that way augments wont be entirely random?

inb4 it comes from voidwatchers.

Meaning they're giving us a new event that drops items to augment old event gear to be just about on par with gear we already have.

[Moridam]

In before OA2-3 on Seiryu's Sword?

Now that would be hilarious

quite likely. if not maybe GoV.
Either way I'd hope there is some control over the outcome of augments.. like maybe 1 Gem of Courage can give like augments for possibly STR, Attack, Pet:Attack, Double attack+, Double dmg+ or something

would also be funny if you could augment Genbu's Shield into being an aegis for mages.

ITT: People mixing up FoV augment with aptant augments.

this would be the list of shit you can put on your gear.

How about cure spell casting time -6% on your dalmatica, or crit rate +6% vs birds, etc? It's not random crap like yay str-2 on my hecatomb's cap.

My guess is most pieces will have 2 vs species and 1 magic skill to put in.

So in other words, everyone start farming scylds for the upcoming update because we're probably going to be getting more hunts to do that give us even more scylds to choose from.

Or who knows, maybe SE will be epic and give us weaponskill etches for the gear, in which case I see the prices of cursed gear skyrocketing.

So yeah, Im gonna go and stockpile some divine logs now kthxbye

Edit: and also the augment you put on your gear is 100%, there's no chance involved with the augment. The "chance" part of the system is how powerful of a evolith you get from your hunt or whatever you get the evolith from for this (my guess is either no new hunts or maybe some abyssea hunts, which would be cool) and even then the variety of evoliths you get from one hunt is generally a range from decent epic, generally the evoliths you want dont ever give you a "shit" one. Maybe you'll get one that is not as good as your current but for the first evolith you put on your gear, even crit rate+1% on a sword is not shit by any standard.

You must have missed the part before where SE said that an HQ synergy would yield better results. I'm thinking it's not evoliths.

Also, about Salvage gear.... they distinctly said that some of the armor upgrades for old gear would be trial related. They could easily still have trials lined up for salvage gear in time for this update.
