Augments Listing & Discussion

[frodnonnag]

any of the pet/avatar stats are pretty groundbreaking for augments.

-perp on anything other than hands, body or feet means free fenrir.
+skill on body or earring, ring, or belt.
acc/atk on slots that don't have it.
list goes on.

if we can augment rings, earrings, back, neck or cape, it will be pretty revolutionary for smn gearset.

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.)

This guy serious?

[Neb]

maybe augments can not be chosen they are put on the gear you trade randomly and you get them after completing the FOV BS in the treasure casket????

The world may never know.

i'm more inclined to believe its statless gear only, crafted pieces, seems broken to be able to put it on gear with stats already such as hauby or NM drops. but we don't know the extent of the bonuses, their restrictions, or how to apply them without thorough ingame testing.

Why bother saying that any item you augment can no longer be sold or traded, if only three specific pieces of armor can be augmented? And they showed non-vanilla (and non-ACP) armor being augmented as an example.

[Kimiko]

Agreed, but we'll be finding out here in around 23 minutes from now.

Doesn't even matter pertaining to a few jobs. Espcially BLU... I'd love to add Blue Magic Skill to all of my rings, earrings, belts, and capes.

My point was he said he believed only the 3 bodies could be, which is pretty funny, if you catch my drift. (Hint: Look at augmented items update details)

[Raineer]

Looks like /panic to me lol

Except the augment details says you choose 2 augments to supplement base stats.

[Max™]

That's /panic.

The dialogue suggests you'll have to do the "Page 5" top level NM to get a (chance at, as they may be random from a few choices) good augment.

I'm going to be utterly baffled if they let us both pick the augments, and have it as a general list for slots.

Then I will immediately make a haste/refresh bow before they patch it.

i'm excited at the possibility of breaking a 400 mp elemental siphon, max skill prepatch and double weather and day only makes 396.

All these pet-augment capabilities are basically the gear that SE should have added from the start give PUP a purpose.

[Starless]

"Gambison" isn't a statless item, is it? I got my names mixed up again, didn't I?

[Caestus]

yes it is stat-less lol

[Max™]

Lvl 36 piece is Defense only.

(Defense is technically a stat, look at the various gear you have which doesn't have it)

Find what the mistake is lol.

[miokomioko]

I'm putting my money on basic, stat-less, visible armor only. (aka: head/body/hands/legs/feet and disregarding DEF stat) Aside from the obvious 3 ACP body pieces.

You'll notice that there isn't much in ways of "vanilla" armor in higher levels... *tadaa* preserving value of rare/ex/abj/etc gear.

"Choose 2 augments to supplement item's base attributes" Hmm...
