Thanks Oseema

Lol thats exactly what I've been getting on Herc vest this entire campaign.

Time to play DRK I guess.

Oseem is nothing if not consistent in his ability to disappoint. While none of these are going to win an award for most laughable augment on the level of Enmity+/Enmity-, it's impressive that all six of my tries today were truly terrible!

Oseem continues to taunt me in my quest for an interesting Valorous Mask (well, I guess some of them are interesting... just not good).

Today followed a theme of: there are a LOT of augments on these pieces, but nothing of any practical use! There's a Snapshot in there though, for when I want to... spam WAR crossbow attacks?

They really need to add a "Preferred Augment" option with Dark Matter. Gives it like a 5% higher chance or something. Would make augmenting with Dark Matter a lot more realistic.

To expand on this, maybe even have an option to use one of the three stones along with the DM to more or less give us those stats on steroids. Just my thoughts.

That's... not really true though, about the slim chance of getting anything worthwhile. Despite my joking about Oseem (thanks for that shield block rate on staff, bro), I do manage to get at least one keeper on one of my two characters on most monthly campaigns. It's really not supposed to be a targeted thing, so I don't mind one truly random occasional campaign that usually gives garbage but occasionally provides something amazing.

My main has TH+2 pieces allowing me to get TH4 on all jobs, some really good/BiS WSD+8~9% pieces, some killer MAB gear. I have a mage alt/mule with 5/5 Refresh+2 Chironic (and 3/5 Refresh+2 Merlinic), a couple very good MAB/Burst pieces, some very good random RDM melee/WS gear.

That being said, yeah, I don't think it would really destroy balance if they made 6 a day DM chances a permanent thing.

Or, maybe instead of requiring Dark Matter, something like consuming one stone of EACH of Fern/Pellucid/Taupe for a "Techniques" chance would be fair.

They really don't have to go that far, just make the pool smaller. The array of *** augs is staggering. Everyone wants the exact same ***. Just make the pool reasonable.

Or perhaps increase the lowest possible value on specific augments, if they aren't willing to ditch the idea of "all augment stats are fair game".

There's really no reason for the useful stats to get +1/1% values. If you knew that whenever you were lucky enough to roll a WSD, it was gonna be at least 5%, or make Acc/Atk START at 20, or attribute start at 10 or something... that would make things a little more exciting, and more likely to get good pieces (while still retaining the highly random nature the devs seem to want).

Smaller pool is exactly that.

Eliminating pointless ***has the same effect as raising the low end. They both raise the chance of a decent aug. One or the other would be reasonable. Both would be spectacular.

I refuse SS my DM failures, I want to forget them asap lol

I dunno about you guys, but I totally want Pet: CHR +1 augs lawl

That WSDMG 1% is overpowered reported for hacking.

I just accidentally deleted my 'INT+5','STR+8','Weapon skill damage +4%','Accuracy+20 Attack+20', aug on Herc Feet.

/quitgame

Just get better augments dummy

Granted that aug wasn't anything stellar, it was pretty nice for what I was using for. Was a DM aug I got several months ago.
With Fern you can get up to 5% WSD, but good luck ALSO getting STR+8 or more and Acc/Att+20 (I couldn't care less about the INT)

Out of despair I spent 350ish Fern stones yesterday, but not even one WSD+5 aug. LULZ.

/cutwrists

I dont see the problem, can get better repairs /pup and burst drains better

Weapon Skill Accuracy, Thanks Oseema...

Edit: There's a theme...

Heard you like Attack

woah

Pup Pet insta-TP setup after 800+? stacks of fer stones

Aw man, accidentally took a screencap of the wrong augment without thinking (got the piece's previous augment, not the craptastic new one Oseem offered me).

Merlinic Jubbah with VIT+15, Racc/Ratk+something, Block Rate +1%. That's... definitely something.

so close yet so far

Thanks Oseema on a mule that cant really use them ; ;
