Sky/Abjuration Gear Synergy Augments

[Slycer]

Sounds like HQ3 should go up to haste+4 then. I'm guessing STR, AGI, and VIT are all 1-7 ranges.

[Damane]

there is the possibility of each stat going up to 10 maybe needs more tests

[Damane]

got on on test server with p.feet I crafted into tatters. as for now no major new results (only 6 augments), have to wait until my char is copied back into the server :X, will update tomorrow^^

[Kutsurabi]

Not sure if this is the right place to put this but...

[Alistaire]

From media > augmented items thread:

Saw this browsing jeunomart, don't know if people were aware of augments, but here you go.

I think it's pretty safe to say augments aren't random.

[Slycer]

What are the HQ tiers of these results? I wouldn't expect the type of augment to be random, since it's only one augment per piece and they seem to align nicely with the base stats, but possibly a slightly higher value on HQ3 or something?

[Zykei]

I'm not sure if there is a HQ result considering it doesn't follow the same Pz scheme of 100-130 or 50-65 for HQ tiers (Tenryu tekko +1 gave me 524 Pz or something to that amount iirc). I know this isn't proof that these don't HQ since I've only personally did 1 synth but the strange Pz result might be worth looking into as well.

On another note, these augments can't be removed (With Sky gear, you can remove the augments by simply trading the gear to the furnace without tatters and completing the synth).

[Damane]

the valkyre cuishes are very stingy on HQ3, i got my first HQ3 after 18 tries today... and the stats were horrible +6 STR +2 haste and +5 resist thunder yaaaiiieee. will try out more

will also try and see if the HQ head can only get refresh +1 or +2 is possible (tough I doubt that very much)

[metalheadz]

After roughly 260 tatters I can confirm Kaiser Cuirass can get PDT-6%! (Refresh +1, Conserve MP+3, PDT-6% currently on mine and was first PDT-6% I've got!) Refresh +2 is a myth though!

[Byrthnoth]

/devil'sadvocate here, but you've proven that it's possible to synergize at least 259 times without seeing the true max for a stat (PDT). Turning around and saying Refresh +2 doesn't exist because it failed to show up in 260 augments immediately after that is a little \_(~,~)_/

I just tell my self it doesn't exist so I don't have to keep pulling my hair out trying to get max stats on the augment. However you have a point.... back to hunting down tatters... /wrists

new test results on Valkyrie's Cuishes:

HQ augment: Haste 1-2 (I didnt see 3 Haste yet, but I only also got 1 HQ 3 of combined 60 tries, those shit just refuse to HQ3)
NQaugments: STR 1-7, AGI 1-7, VIT 1-7, Dark magic skill 1-5

will go on with tests, but the HQ3 rate on those is abyssmal compared to other equipment oO

RNG

I've had some terrible streaks as well.

[Slycer]

So there's two ways to look at this, for both Valkyrie's Helm and Kaiser Cuirass

Refresh+2 can't happen:
For the vast majority of augments, there's a slight increase (+1) in caps at HQ3. For the Refresh as HQ3, NQ through HQ2 show up as MP+XX augments, so the "increase" from HQ2 to HQ3 is to go from MP to Refresh. I can't think of any cases where a stat cap jumps up by 2 from HQ2 to HQ3.

Refresh+2 can happen:
For ALL augments, the cap on augments increases if you use HQ gear as a base instead of NQ gear. Refresh+1 can appear on Koenig Cuirass, and probably Shadow Helm, so Refresh+2 may be possible.


Like I said before, the only account of Refresh+2 is on the JP wiki, so I don't really know.

[Damane]

after 100 augments from the last few days I can confirm for cursed cuishes-1 the final stats:

HQ: haste 1-3 (haste 3 is extremly rare)
NQ: VIT 1-7, STR 1-7, AGI 1-7, dark magic skill 1-5

Someone said dark magic skill can go up to 6, I have never gotten 6 in any of the HQ2 or HQ3 synth, max number was allways 5.
I will proceed to do now augments on the valkyre helm and hands(again), If anyone wishes me to do more augments on the cursed cuishes -1 on test server, pls say so.

In any case the legs seem fairly useless if you can get your hands on phorcys legs. Maybe for requiescat with STR augments on top of the MND the base legs have (but even then ogier's breeches win?)

[Damane]

I want to note that valkyrie sabatons (cursed sabatons -1) can get +5% crit hit dmg.

[Slycer]

Been a while since I checked here, added the +5% crit hit damage to first post. 3% crit rate/5% crit damage combo piece sounds pretty sweet but it's missing some key WS stats, would a piece like that have any utility for those jobs?

[Byrthnoth]

Not really, unless you get lucky with a random pool augment as well.

5 Critical Hit Damage, 3% Crit rate, 5 STR for . . . Vorpal Blade?

dunno chant de cygne for paladin?

[Byrthnoth]

Yeah, probably that if you can't get https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Huginn_Gambieras
