Im just curious for those whom have augmented their weskit. I augmented a few weskits in sky and was able to get INT+2. After seeing some screenshots I saw that you can get up to INT+6.

Now, I do these augments in sky. However, every place and screenshot I have seen was with regards to Cape Terrigan. My Question is this: is it possible to get INT+5/6 in sky? Wiki does not seem to say. Is it proven that the augments are different depending upon location?

I ask this because I can easily solo the Eraser NM in sky (I have not tried the NM in CT). I want to know more before I continue on doing this.

Any info is appreciated.

I personally got my weskit with INT+5 in sky, unfortunately I don't know the day/moon or anything else to go with it.

Was it the INT+5 only or was it the INT+5 and two STATS-3? Just curious :<

If its just INT+5, then it sounds like that theres no real difference between sky and cape terrigan. I didnt see the standalone INT+5 for sky on wiki, hence my original question.

The only reason people think one location or the other is better for melee/mage augments is that the first Weskit with INT+6 was from VoS and everyone followed suit, similar story for melee augments in Sky. Thus we see more coming from one or the other, making it look like a given location favors certain types of augments when in reality it's just sampling bias.

Use whichever location is more convenient for you.

Since I don't have Sky warp I do Vos. But yeah that turtle can have some damn annoying traits. Making it prtty much impossible to solo sometimes.

As far as timing and patterns after doing a few at the exact same game time of day, day of week, moonphase both starting killing and opening of the box pretty sure that has little if nothing to do with what you get

Actually, the only reason why i posted was because i saw the data for both the valley of sorrows and in sky and the augments were pretty different. from what everyone is saying it seems like location has no effect, which means i can solo for my INT+6 :)

I do sky exclusively for augments because it is easier. I got my INT +5 Weskit there and started augmenting other items. Just keep trying until you get it, or SE release some other easy to get armor that is better.

Your weskit is MAB+10??? (Just making sure I read correctly lol). Holy ***that's nice XD. In terms of dmg, that's better than morggy if you're nuking above 2k.

It's like people don't even read my posts :(

EDIT: If you want to be technical about it that's actually an example of reporting bias, but still.

I agree, bs. In almost every piece of gear ever augmented, youll notice whatever statistic that piece of gear is owned by it never gets in an augment. For example you wont find forager's with str or attack. And you won't find weskit with mab. Why do people lie about such untrivial things? Would you get rock hard on the idea that everyone was psyched on you for something you never had? Seriously, what is it?
