That's a pixie weapon, not an FoV augment.

I'm surprised no one has said anything about the SMN Fey weapon that has Blood Pact Ability -5 and avatar perp -2. Seems fey weapon augments are surprising the hell out of people.

the perp is minor at best, the real nutgasm will be -bp, atk and mab all rolled into one weapon.

Yeah just the fact that they are possible is crazy.

I read two, three pages of this thread then skipped to the end.

I can understand the feelings that I just wasted "X" amount of time (and money) to get this item from Salvage, HNM, Einherjar or other just to see a near-equivalent item come from Fields of Valor or other.

Well, didn't the Augment system came to be because of a lot of players, the non-hardcore types (yes, they DO EXIST) were asking for more casual play?

I'm the kind of person that doesn't mind at all. To me, this Augmenting system is just another addition and alternative that is given to players to do if they don't have access to one or more of the following:

• Copious amounts of Gil; or the time and/or means to obtain large amounts of Gil in spurts or periodically
• A dedicated Endgame LS that can do HNMs or other high end events regularly
• A group that can do Salvage with good organization and skill
• The time to spend hours doing endgame events

The players that I know personally who fit into those categories above are students, parents, and singles who have busy schedules in their life.

One person I've known for five years in this game has little time for merit burn parties. He rarely does Sky with his LS because of work and school. This game is a means to relax and enjoy himself. He gets his EXP and merits out of Campaign and has been doing that ever since that came out. He now has the highest Medal rank in Campaign and a little over 1 million AN. Oftentimes I would see him spam Fei'yin or Fields of Valor to get Augmented items since equivalent items are obtained from events he has no time for. He has just enough time to do Dynamis twice a week and Sky rarely like I said.

I have other examples who would fit similar situations. The Augmenting system is more like a reprieve for the casual players. The ones complaining about this have to realize that NOT EVERYONE has a dedicated Salvage group or can claim HNMs or do Einherjar or shit out 12 million Gil in one day or a week.

What ever happened to trying to understand another player's situation? Or, has empathy been thrown out the door?

Not everyone can be as privileged as a lot of players who post on BlueGartr forums who are part of a large endgame LS (or a myriad of LSes that can do specific events). I actually see no problem with the Augmenting system, and even I'm part of an endgame LS and I'm not complaining about it.

Congratulations to the ones who are getting these Augmented items. It's nice to see something different at the very least.

It just looks like a lot of players are afraid of change, nothing more. And, this happens every single major update.

amen~

Incredibly gutsy...or silly. Goodbye 20M+! But I guess that's not as bad as it gets.

I honestly was going on the basis that you have a higher chance to get stats that are NOT on the item than you do with stats already present. If I had gotten +str dex or accuracy I would of had the best gloves by far in the game for tp.

[Nishida]

oops wrong thread

Lol, I said in vent right before I popped it that maybe SE will reward anyone dumb enough to do this +movespeed on the hands.

Magic Defense is some sort of -minus damage afaik

Magic Evasion is just that, the likelihood you'll resist a spell. The terminology was made "official" after the introduction of Dancer & Stutter Step where it says "The <monster>'s Magic Evasion has been reduced." If you go Death Blossom stuff on RDM, you will notice "The <monster>'s Magic Evasion Down has worn off."

Magic Evasion is not new, and probably not a mistranslation as MDB exists in augmentable form already. There is Magic Accuracy, therefore, there is Magic Evasion. Think of it this way: Magic Acc helps all spells land, Magic Eva helps all spells resist.

[Aquilla]

consider me educated, I did not know that.

well, I suppose it could've been worse, as far as augments go^^

[Aksannyi]

Why is it I played this game for five years and never once heard the term "Magic Evasion?"

The entire concept is silly as hell, how do you evade a spell? Like stated, a resist. Resists are just resists. Perhaps the term "evasion" is misleading or something, because I see evading as avoiding being hit. I'm clearly not evading if I'm even getting partially hit by a spell, I've just built up some resistance.

I mean come on, you evade a melee it, and it simply says that the mob misses you. There's no partial evasion going on. Is there? The whole concept of magic evasion is so screwy I can't even wrap my head around it. Maybe that's just me.

[Enedin]

I always thought that BLM's needed to focus to hit the mob. Like, half a resist on nukes or sleeps, they didn't hit it 100%. Not sure that's what it is, but it does sound like magic evasion to me.

[Aksannyi]

Yeah I mean I get it in theory, just the wording sounds so silly to me.

[Drai]

is it called magic Evasion in the JP version? could have just been translated weird

[Aquilla]

yay, i'm not the only one who didn't know wtf magic evasion was :D

beats me, my ls also thought it was just screwy translation
