Augments Listing & Discussion

[Sho]

Actually, to be more down to earth, whoever said SE is just adding a broad list just to have it is probably correct.

SE has a penchant for adding a huge list of things to an update, and yet not allowing access to everything. White/Black/Blue Magic Spells, Ninjutsu, Songs, Chocobo Racing (for a short time), Pankration, and Moblin Maze Mongers (for a short time so far) all have an extended data table full of things not implemented for the general players to use or even see. Even obscure things like having up to Rank 15 symbols for the original nation missions.


Ahh well, we gonna see what's up soon. Unless it's a time-released event... much like getting that Aht Urghan Boat Pass Key Item (I wonder if anyone remembers that? lol)...

Visible only seems likely.

That's why I'm totally making a haste/refresh bow before it gets patched, and hope they don't notice it.

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

People seem to forget a base attribute could be defense and just something small as + hp/mp.

Ya well my point was, it is incredibly unlikely they meant to supplement the simple DEF almost all armor has.

That's what I was trying (and failing) to get at. SE has a history of using the technicalities of the English language to their trolling advantage in update notes.

Don't get me wrong though. I certainly hope I can make augment some other things, as my jobs are the ones that for the most part get screwed out of the good armor (cor, pup, sch), so it would be nice to make some for myself.

I remember like 105 people on a ferry going to Aht.... it was all sorts of horrible.

I will eat my hat w/o salt if u are able to augment any decent gear...SE isnt gonna add something so broken to the game...imagine if u could put haste or store tp on hauby...*POOF* tons of end-game bodies and side grades just become obsolete. You will be able to augment blank gear, or maybe their HQ varity (Im looking at you lvl 50 Shinboi gear) so that fulfills SE's intention of "augmenting stats + base stats" b/c they have some random stats on it.

Honestly, its a fairy tale thinking SE is gonna break their game w/ augments.

As a level 75 MNK, the only thing I expect out of this are some good Chakra boots. Currently Power Sandals (VIT+3, Lv.18...) are the best option, and the only way to obtain them is through NOT completing a quest. You need to turn the boots in to complete the quest.

Hands and Body already have "enhances Chakra" on them, and SE won't add a head piece that tops Genbu's Kabuto's 15 VIT. Legs are a possibility, but I'm not betting they'll add an augment that tops Kensei Sitabaki's 5 VIT.

I remember 105 people on the ferry...to selbina, and 30 of us actually made it to aht urghan.

Regarding negative augments, if it was some kinda points system where beneficial stats used up points and negative ones gave them back, then I'd be pretty happy. I'd have no trouble putting like -HP or -Mnd on a piece if I could add more Str or Dex for example :3

Our group traded a physical earring at the Behemoth Dominion's elite parchent. It came back with Fire and Dark +3. Yay!

[Destinye]

Well guys, go augment your OMGILLMAKEANUBERHAUBY! >.> lol This is why I can see that it was to be used for statless gear which makes up the majority of vanilla's gear sets.

[ronin sparthos]

So much for a "socket" type system to help boost vanilla gear the way you wanted it to be boosted - with limitations of course.

[Virtuous Saint]

I wonder if they read their own 'Get more Malmage from your Gear' update details??????????????????
