Category talk:Augmented


 * Results from Field Parchment-obtained augments should go on Talk:Field Parchment.

There are two known ways to get augmneted equipment: Field Parchments and by exchanging certain key items at the chest in the Tenshodo HQ (as part of the new add-on). I've updated the page to reflect this.-- 04:31, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Apparently, there are three known ways to get augmented gear: Field Parchment NMs, getting key items from A Crystaline Prophecy and trading them to the Tenshodo, and ANNM who will drop random equipment with random augments among other things. How any of this works is still being investigated, I assume. Personally, I think the development team gave us a bullshit update, another in a long line of bullshit updates. --Jaxen 19:58, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Proposing a way to tabulate our results (copied over from Talk:Field Parchment: --Tengokujin 21:01, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Aikido Koshita on Lightsday (83%) got Earth+4 and Ranged Acc+1. Traded on PLD in behemoth's dom. --Alydra 03:43, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Possible Augments
Should we have all of the possible augments (that SE released anyways) posted here? I'm thinking that at the end of the aCP missions, when you get to choose your 2 augments, this would be a good place to see what augments you can use? I don't know how to put it on the page so if someone else could that would be great >.<

NPC Storage?
If an item like the Noct Doublet set is augmented, either one or all 5 pieces, can it still be stored with the npc? FFXI-Revenant 11:36, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Yes, you CAN still store the equipment, but just like signed items, it will wipe the augment. Me and my girlfriend ran a small test on 2x Seer's Crowns; I got +1 Att, she got +1 MND & +1 EVA...went to store, NP, took it back out; the augment had been wiped off. --Upitupi 17:07, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

To Upitupi.. I think thats a good thing, if u didnt get a "good" augment then simple storage it then have it aumented again!--Kongolo 09:19, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Why random?
Why are the augments random, if you can't sell the item.. or remove the augments.. If you get a screwy augment, then you're out the amount of gil for the item.. and now the item is only "alittle" better, if even that.. The augments should actually give you an effect you actually need. --Shadowhero 17:27, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Because SE likes to raise our hopes then laugh meniacly when they crush them to a fine powder then snort it >.> --Kaiselius 23:13, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
 * That makes sense. -roll eyes-  It's a game, and it has random elements to it.  Why not just ask why you can't dictate the amount of damage you do consistently?  Augments are most likely random to keep people doing it; it's not a gil-sink, it's not just craziness.  If you don't want to Augment equipment, don't do it. But some of the items have been pretty neat, and some of them have blown... just like every other game in existence.  Anybody roll a dozen times in Diablo II on your Charsi item?  --Baroness 18:38, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Square Enix straight lied to us. They falsely advertised that we would get to choose what augments we wanted only to give us a product far inferior and completely limited on its full potential. It was a genuine opportunity to make set our characters apart with equipment toned to our personal styles of play and they pissed on the idea all together probably under the assumption that it would fuck up the "balance" of a game that has lacked balance since its release. There are plenty of ways to give people their choice of augments and make sure that it wasn't abused: Limit the number of augmented equipment a person could hold at one time; prevent people from obtaining the additional boosts to stats already existing with the equipment; only allow people to augment once during a given time period; etc. Instead of making us work a number of hours towards the reward of choosing an augment, they made us work a number of hours towards the reward of getting a RANDOM augment that may not even boost the stats useful to the job you equip it for AND has the potential to make the item worse than it was before. You tell me where the reward is in that, Baroness? --Jaxen 19:45, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
