[Tulun]

Well Just went and Augmented my Spike necklace in The glacier since that was the most tabs i had and well ...

+ dark resistance /sigh

dark weather and the resist is interesting to say the least.

In before "Gotta face NE on Iceday in double weather on full moon to get haste"

This is truly what gets to me. They said we would be able to choose two stats to enhance your gear of choice, but went around and did something completely different. I'm pretty sure they meant to make that 180 turn though because they did have the post message stating it was still in development and could change. Freakin' bastards...

Umm actually the only thing they mentioned about choosing stats was on the 3 bodies that are awarded from the new expansion.

As illustrated above, players will be able to customize certain pieces of equipment by adding two augments of their choice to supplement the item's base attributes. This new feature will allow for two pieces of armor bearing the same name to possess distinct capabilities, specially tailored to complement the skills of the wearer.
A wealth of heretofore unseen diversity in adventuring attire awaits you!

Notes on the new augment system. SEPERATE FROM THE THREE BODY REWARDS DESCRIBED ON THE ACP SITE.

"certain pieces" = 3 bodies lol?

[Stubwub]

Oh yeah, which explains why they wasted their time talking about you not wanting to give up your valued old equipment in the same update notes, amirite?

I was joking bro chillax

lol, I'm being sarcastic myself. I dont really care, haha.

[xloppielx]

well they did also post.

"*This development screenshot may not represent the final product."

aka This was is an Idea that we have but its probably going to change drasticly.


LOL

[xloppielx]

taking a look at that I think ill go buy a gambison and try augmenting that next for sh@#'s and giggles.

[Miraun]

Saw a couple posts back that people weren't able to augment a tathlum (level 50 thrown), but had luck with boomerangs. Seems to be a restriction on whether or not they can stack.

I found 4 items that are in the thrown slot that don't stack, which may be awesome to augment... I know Optical Needle was mentioned, but I had completely forgotten about the others
Nazar Bonjuk
Kakanpu
Mantra Coin
Optical Needle


Also, maybe they're changing re-augmenting with today's emergency maintenance? (baseless hope)

I had a quick look at the English and Japanese and it says nowhere in the Japanese page that you can choose, nor that there are 2 augments.
All it says is you can get augment(s) on your own items under certain conditions, and that you may receive as rewards items with the same names but with different stats. Also, the sentence on "courage and valor" is not on the JP page.

That's what french POL mentions too. Doesn't say that you can choose nor X number of augments.

Basically says your gear will get new stats (doesn't say -anything- about choosing or the number) And that on top of this, few pieces will get different stats different following players while keeping the same name (referring to ACP bodies.)

im take a bet that the guy uses online translators lol

[TummieGaruda]

I guess from now on, we should check JP and EU site translations to see if everything matches up until they do something about the way things are worded in English. Sadly, I find myself checking the French site more often now as it seems to be the least vague when it comes to these things.

What the fuck... just /sigh.

Definately checking JP notes first next time

[JigglyJam]

Well, I think I'm done with FoV augments. I guess it can be something to do for items without stats/with just a defense rating or items I don't plan on getting rid of. I wouldn't use it on a PCC or a woodsman.

Gil and extra EXP is okay in my book. (well i don't feel like wasting beastmen seals but some might)
