Augments Listing & Discussion

[TummieGaruda]

Only problem with that is...

there are a lot of things missing: Movement Speed+%, Enfeebling Magic+%, Cure Potency+%, Additional Effect, to name a few.

I think the fact that Enfeebling Magic was neglected might mean a patch pretty soon. They probably just forgot. As far as the other things, the only thing that I can think of is that you are limited to what you can Augment. Probably there to keep certain pieces from becoming too powerful... example Crimson Pants with Evasion or Enmity, Nobles Tunic with MP Healing+% and Cure Cast time...

Here is one example why i think Rare/ex items could be included in augments.


AF gear can be updated to +1.


AFV2 gear can be updated to +1

Granted most suck, but it's still an example

[Max™]

Can =/= Will

Apparently the three new armor sets only have Hume M .dats, which spoils my "you get a blank piece of gear with appropriate augment options" theory completely.

[Uzor]

Slow% is there because you get a negative stat when adding gear, just watch. Putting Haste +5% on an item automatically also puts Slow +5% on the same item. There's no gain with no pain.

[sruon]

Could be future expansions options too.

Yes it could be

[evilpaul]

I'm really hoping to be able to put some Augments on Arhat's +1 and Penitent's Rope, personally. Or maybe Haste on Tiphia Stinger.

I'm also kind of wondering if you'll be able to tell when someone else's equipment is Augmented or just your own?

How can that even be used as an example? That's an entirely different thing.

Not entirely. This was used as an example to demonstrate SE's willingness to augment (for lack of a better word) Rare/ex gear. Granted it costs you some time, but at least they are willing.

Yes?

It's R/EX Gear that the game upgrades/turns into a similar piece with different stats?

Anyway.

I actually had a thought that perhaps if you wanted to put say, Refresh on a body piece, you gotta put a negative on there too.

True that it could be that the next two expansion rewards might offer refresh and haste and shit, but we won't know til we go log in... OH WAIT, EXTENSION'D!

Gallant Legging's and Gallant Legging's +1 only share the theme of the stats and the visible model.

Two different items, as evidenced by the fact that you can have both in your pocket at once.

The +1 for legging's isn't an NQ + 2 shield skill, +whatever def/hp/blahblahblah. It's just a piece of gear with +12 shield, and the other stats which you obtain by giving up an NQ, some coins/upgrade mats. If they were called Jesus Boots +1, no one would make that argument, but the game mechanics would be the same.

Disclaimer: Gallant Legging's +1 do not enable one to walk on water.

It's not rare or ex. It's an item that is upgraded into a similar piece of gear with different stats. I think the symbol was red? And if i am not mistaken it is located in a spot before the rare/ex symbols.


That is if you are referring to augmented gear?

[Sirenia]

With the example they used (Gambison) I think the gear you augment has to be stat-less besides the normal defense....I would not get your hopes up!

I think that was a base example. They didn't want us rubbing one out too soon.

phalanx rings go!

[Starless]

I guarantee the only things you can augment are those three items you get for ACP. I might be willing to believe they'll let you augment vanilla armor as well (Gambison, Linen Doublet, etc.)

[Virtuous Saint]

False, because it states you can add 2 augments of your choice to supplement base stats.

[Farseer]

I don't mind wearing a Gambison if it gives me refresh >_> and slow for that matter.

[Caestus]

One bonus I can see from augmenting things is...


If the augment makes your gear RA EX, and one day you just want a regular ... Hauby (just using it as an example) You will have to buy a new one.

This could bring a little life back into the market. Maybe we will see SH's go up in price, or give the mats for these armors a lift in price.

My thoughts exactly.

It is also my understanding you can only augment one item per character.
