WHERES THE MAGIC ATTACK BONUS

I THINK IT GOT LISTED UNDER PET. I FREAKED FOR A MIN TOO.

[Max™]

Funnily enough, quotes default to italic, perhaps bold would serve your purpose.

Also: Enm +5 Fast Cast +5% Coselete is still an easy choice, now the question is if I can put Haste and Refresh on my Haubergeon.

I'll start to have an orgasm from how awesome that is already, and then prematurely ejaculate.

[Seraph]

That's right. Let me craft a cheap bow with Auto-Refresh and Haste on it.

[Epical]

Why is everyone ruling out the gobbiebag items being quest rewards? Angelstone/deathstone? What is going to suck is the other shit... not in price but in rarity.

Awesome augmenting options though.

[QUOTE=donnie;2626799]now to know which items can be augmented, and what sort of augments can be added./QUOTE]

This is what I'm wondering, hoping we can make something useful for BLM and (nuking) SCH.

[Yeager]

PET:
Attack%+d Ranged Attack%+d
Accuracy%+d Ranged Accuracy%+d
Mag. Acc.%+d "Mag. Atk. Bonus"%+d
"Double Attack"%+d Crit. hit %+d
"Magic Atk. Bonus"%+d <------------ Right there
"Magic Def. Bonus"%+d

I think "Magic Atk. Bonus" and "Magic Def. Bonus" were mistakenly placed under the "pet" category because there's already an option for pets that includes "Mag. Acc. % and Mag. Atk. Bonus" together for the pet.

Sigh I hope FFXI doesn't turn into a game like many f2p crappy MMOs where you can put stats on all your gear just to wave your e-peen around.

On the other hand, I wonder how augment will be implemented. Wether it will be really easy or wether it will be a lot of work, so you decide for one piece at a time and work to add stats on it.

I would expect the two orbs to be the "quested" portions, as like what you said the stones were. You also still needed crafted items though, which is sad to see that they just stomped all over some already wanted crafted items, rather then using some of those useless synths we have now.

[Suiram]

If augmented gear can't be bazaared, AHed, traded, or d.boxed, and since the update preview with the Gambison suggests that it should be possible to augment more gear than just the Crys. Proph. rewards, maybe people who have the patch done and are .dat mining check for an NPC somewhere (probably Jeuno) who will augment gear for you?

The items clearly say: "made from (oxblood/angel skin)" which means it is more likely that it will be crafted more so than rewarded since it's VERY VERY uncommon for SE to add something as both crafted and a reward item last time was really the national quests and I think some ToAU ones?

[Day]

So ... it's not that uncommon then.

[Franzer]

seriously if this is the case, holy shit game is about to get broken. just buy a stupid shitty item for 1k, sup got haste refresh fast cast, thax

[Destinye]

Huge gap between 2002 and 2006, so yeah..pretty uncommon for them to really add them obtainable in both fashions.

Then maybe oxblood and angel skin will be added as quest rewards? DUR, no way that's what everyone meant when they suggested it.

"Fast Cast"%+d
"Conserve MP"%+d
"Refresh"%+d
"Haste"%+d
MP recovered while healing %+d

this is all win. I hope equipment such as Neck/Back/Waist/Ring can be augmented.
some nice Conserve MP equipment, as well as Fast Cast

Oh wow, hadn't even thought about that.

Pld doesn't have much in ammo slot aside from Kaman (PLUS ONE), or the couple of all jobs DD pieces (I'm with Team Smart Grenade!), even if it is only possible to get one of the bigger augments on a piece of gear with one of the smaller ones, a refresh bow would be so unbelieveably badass it hurts. Then haste on the hauby... god, I dread finding out how this works.

Here's hoping my horrible thought just now (that perhaps stats will be randomly applied, and divided up by zones, cue spamming the sky NM fight for months on end trying to get a refresh augmented piece) is wrong.

[Shuichi]

That augment list is just....wow.

[Qeomash]

I'd bet there are level minimums for each type of buff. I mean, could you imagine putting a regen and a refresh on level 1 gear?

[Yeager]

I've got a set of HQ Lv. 7 gear on my mule. I'll try to see what kind of stats I can add onto them. Mule is Lv. 10 WAR so I'll see about adding some STR, DEX, Haste%, and Accuracy+.

My hunch is that augment numbers will be dependent on the level of the piece of gear, with HQ getting +1 added to those numbers.

So, a NQ Leather Vest will get +1 STR and +1% haste, while a HQ one can get +2 STR and +2% haste.

JUST A HUNCH THOUGH!
