List of Augments - Confirmed

[Tenjou]

Greetings All,

I represent ProjectXI, the project to make a FFXI private server. As we move closer and closer to reasonable playability, the time has come where I require help from the playerbase for things such as specific damage formulas.

For now, I would like to share my latest findings. I was very curious about SE's new Augmented Items system. Last night, I spent a few hours on my private server injecting the packet to modify an inventory slot so that I could discover how augments work.

By continually modifying certain bytes in the packet, I could change the augments. As with most of these types of exercises, they are very useful in demonstrating what SE -could- do if they wanted, but just chooses not to. Here is what I have found so far:

-There are 5 slots for augments.
-There are positive and negative augments, though each specific augment has a range of -32 to 32. In other words, the negatives can become a positive, and vice versa.
-There is a specific byte to turn off the EX flag. In other words, the item doesn't have to be EX if SE so chooses.
-There is a field for item ID. In other words, the augments could be applied to any weapon or armor if SE so chose, but not to unequippable items such as Potions (it will appear without any augments).
-Some augments can stack in multiple slots to a maximum possible effect of +127 or -127.
-There are at least a hundred "blank" slots for SE to add more later, and a lot more "space" for SE to expand the system beyond that.
-There are combination augments in a single slot. For these, it's one positive and one or two negatives. The negatives will be a value equal to one half the positive, rounded up.

To prove my point, I took some screenshots of me injecting the packets on my private server. Perhaps the only true limitation is the size of the text box graphic. Observe:

Well without further ado, here is every possible augment! Note that I went through all the "blanks" to make sure. It was also fairly easy to determine the range of accepted values. Finally, note that even though I wrote +1 or -1 on most, the value can be anywhere from -32 to +32.

FIRST BYTE: Specific Augment based on type.
SECOND BYTE: Augment Type and Amount: 10's digit is amount, 1's digit is type and odd/even.

I wanted to post this in "Advanced Topics," but alas I can't get around the time limit. Thank you Sonomaa though, for augmenting my post count! Mods feel free to move this if you please.

I hope we can all enjoy exchanging new information. Thank you, and see you again!

Very nice work. And disappointing to see you cant have a combination of 3 all positive stats (although considering if you can stack buffs like you said, I guess it could turn out positive, but still), and that there are more negitive stats than positive (See Cure cast). However nice to know there is room to improve.

Now to just find out if theres a way to control (or atleast influence) the stats you get at all.

I think preliminary efforts show that gear worn affects the Augments.

[DAKPluto]

I want that Aristocrat's Coat....

[DAKPluto]

Hmm...so what do you do that requires Sibelius? Composing, arrangements, orchestrations?

[darkhorror]

Very cool, I want to see a bunch of + a bunch of counter would be sweet to be able to get a bunch of counter gear.

The other thing I want to see is that if -Delay% for H2H weapons affects total delay or just delay of weapon. As there was one that someone got with -25% delay on it and if it's total delay will be a very strong weapon.

I tried it once to see how well it interpreted playing off the digital piano. Not well at all.

Anyway, just wanted to add that my findings are pretty much the same as what's in rom\220\58.dat, but I noticed there's some not listed in the advanced section such as Wild Card delay.

[Shinryuu]

Hey, hey, mister OP

I love you

Thanks for the massive effort.

Not sure about FOV elite augment but yesterday I got a ruby ring(in my signature) that has 3 positive augments on it.

I got it from ACP ebony key.

[Fogo]

You have sibelius but not finale, that makes me cry

Nice work, interesting prospects.




Also...I want that morrigan robe...

[darkhorror]

Would there be a way to test to see if the -Delay on H2H weapon is from total delay or just weapon delay?

[Tenjou]

Unfortunately things like that are what we need -your- help with. We can technically make weapons any delay or stats we want, but we'd like to make it as accurate as possible, at least at first. About the only thing we can't change is the in-game graphics and helptext.

It's one of the main reasons I'm trying to establish a presence here, as I anticipate we will soon need help with these types of things.

[Narol]

Well, there goes some of my pseudo-theories related to how this system works. I half-drunkenly posted that I either vastly over- or underestimated SE in regards to the augment mechanics. Apparently I overestimated them.

[Tahngarthor]

Me injecting a packet to augment an Aristocrat's Coat. Again please be aware that this is not a retail server.

I'm more interested in this than anything else How functional is it so far?

edit- On the topic- Your list and description suggests that any pet-related augment takes up 2/3 slots for one augment- but then having both pet augments from the ACP gear would require more slots than are available.

[Tenjou]

Looks like the pet augments come in pairs. So I guess all 4 of those could fit in with the first one which just makes it say "Pet:"

I'm really unsure about those though, it obviously shouldn't be +62,000,000.


Also I'll just point out that the range for single slot augments seems to be 1 to 32, but the ones like HP and base stats can stack up to 128. Any more than that, and it loops into negatives!

needs more peoplew orking on the pservers

[Tenjou]

on a private server is it possible to test AV, and find out the weakness? or does he not act like the one in game?

We will be able to make the mobs do what we want in the future. Unfortunately we are as curious as everyone else about AV and PW.

needs more peoplew orking on the pservers

Come to our website and IRC if you want to help.

[cdgreg]

"So your saying there is a chance..... YEAHHH! ..... I read ya...."


Read that like Jim carry from dumb and dumber.

This is from a completely laymans non-programmer vantage point: but I thought the private server software writers had to input mob behavior, so if they dont know certain mob conditions then they can not replicate it? Which is why they were not able to figure out AA?

[Shinryuu]

Correct.

[Bockage]

For those of you involved with Projectxi happen to have an idiots guide to setting this up on a PC? I was thinking this would be the perfect tool to help get pictures for BGWiki.
