+6 INT Augmented Weskit Causes Sky To Fall, News at Eleven

[System-X-]

Nah i was hoping for the +6 INT, We gotta +6 INT NQ weskit today, I was just feeling crazy and decided to take my chances, magic crit hit rate+4 isnt too bad but it isnt the best.

[Myrrh_Quetz]

The Crit+4? Worse than INT+6

Better then my Weskit. I'd kill for either D:

[Mifaco]

Went first today, and I got the Halfassed Augmented Weskit of Mediocrity

[Rocl]

The other guy is wearing a Haubergeon and Askar Helm. . . .

You'd still run out of tabs relatively quickly, unless you actually do a training mission every hour every day.

It still sounds like a get out of jail free (small fee) card.

Edit: Don't get me wrong, I understand what you're saying, and I'm not opposed to it either.

Indeed, if they wanna limit it, perhaps once per game day to prevent crowding of the spot. It would make the pattern of doing 1 pop, then 1 fov, then 1 pop a nice pattern til your tabs couldn't keep up. Then in those times when you do accumulate tabs without popping anything (like levelling a lower job) you can repeat the pop -> fov -> pop -> fov pattern later in Sky or FoV on your 75.

It's basically like +.4 MAB; nothing special. Still better than before though, of course.

Its the ultimate challenge. In MMO's people feel like they hit a wall. Admitedly its harder in FFXI since you can just do a new job, but ultimately many people are tied to their one true job (BLM in my case, BLU always takes a back seat)

In those cases of people who "have everything" on their main job, then just throwing spare money at the capped job via FoV is a brilliant way to keep people playing and is quite possibly a smart investement for those people with "nothing better to do with the money".

In any case, Hagun and Genie augmenters are definitely in the class of player who builds a relic or mythic and isn't part of the general populous. (Edit: Heck throwing money at Genies / HQ Staves can be BLM's replacement for having no relic .... Claustum doesn't exist ... I can't hear you ::la la la la la la:: )

[Aksannyi]

I still don't like the idea of "augmenting" with negative shit, personally. There's still the chance you can get +STR on a Weskit or +VIT on ... anything, I mean that's crappy enough to still make you run out and get a new Weskit to try again for a better augment. Minus stats is just a kick in the balls to me.

You're so being whooshed, clearly. Yes.

[TheTaru]

You're so being whooshed, clearly. Yes.

Oh you.

[Starr]

yeah but which one popped it? idk do you?

[Plow]

yeah but which one popped it? idk do you?

I'm gonna go with "the guy that's wearing it," seeing how that's how it works and all.

[Starr]

uh yeah so he is a MNK wtf

[Davricle]

Well, you MIGHT be onto something... I was on PLD when I did my weskit and I got Enmity -2. Sure it was minus, but still enmity.

[Necronus]

Well, you MIGHT be onto something... I was on PLD when I did my weskit and I got Enmity -2. Sure it was minus, but still enmity.

My current theory is jobs listed on the gear. Hence an "All Jobs" can be anything ... but seeing all these INT, MATK, M Crit, Enmity - on weskits .... or the MND and hMP on Nobles .... and even the Dark Skill on a Scythe is what seems to confirm my theory.

I'll be keeping an eye on augments in all threads to see if it holds.

(P.S. I'm being a little open minded too .... if a weapon has -STR and -DEX for +2 AGI on say SAM or WAR, even though we as a player base think WTF!? SE has been known to do crap like that)

[blowfin]

Pretty useful for my Sorc. Ring seeing as I don't have A.body. Still, I'm going to keep trying for a decent nuking one.

[Suiram]

Probably need to test if augmented HP changes count towards max HP for the purposes of triggering latent (unless you're just wearing that to trigger it then nuking in a different body--but even still would be good to know).

Edit: Actually nevermind, -HP still wouldn't mess up your latent if you nuked in it and it didn't count, just +HP, but yeah would be good to know lol
