2-augment, loot-gen items?

I have several with a yellow and a colorless; does anyone know if there exist randomly-generated items with a yellow and a green augment slot?
  

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

I had a colorless+green for a while.  But the effects were not that strong and I got rid of it.  Sad

I *think* yellow+green existed and thought I saw one linked once, but, I could be mistaken.

No, I don't think you can get an item with two colored augment slots on it. I know for sure yellow and green doesn't happen. I looked a while ago for the same thing and learned that the hard way.

anyone know how the augment slots work with the new crafting?

I remember hearing somewhere that they no longer increase the min level of the item, even when slotted.

My testing on lama indicated that the augment would set an AML, but the existence of the slots would not.

So like if you made an ML15 shard and put it on an item, it would be an ML 15 item, instead of ML17 under the old system.

So quick and simple example:

A cloak with +1 Charisma, old system by itself it'd be ML1 with no augment slot and ML3 with a colorless slot.

Under the new system it would still be ML1, unless you put an augment in it that had a higher ML.

thanks.  that is good to know. 

wish I had more double-slot items.  Those are going to be mighty. 

Do they still drop?  I don't remember seeing one in quite some time.

As far as I know, they do not drop in the new loot tables.

I have been searching end rewards, chests, and the AH/ASAH for the past few weeks.  Other than the occasional one on the ASAH, I haven't seen any drop in several hundred chests / end rewards.

Correct.
  

Do not try the patience of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger.

We are dreamers, shapers, singers, and makers. We study the mysteries of laser and circuit, crystal and scanner, holographic demons and invocation of equations. These are the tools we employ, and we know many things.

The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

Well fuck. Guess I'm glad I'm a hoarder.

Holly shit, I have 2--3 CC items I crafted for my main that I ALMOST threw out two TRs ago, but kept because I had spent TP to populate the 2 augment slots on each. That's gonna be nice.

Hmmm, I bet I could also sell some of the others for a small fortune. Either way, hoarding that shit is payin dividends.

Those of us who have been hoarding double slotted items are hopefully all aware that they feel a lot more powerful than they actually are.

While it's nice to have another slot, the actual benefits are relatively minimal considering it's always colorless. For a stat that you need 8/2 is way too low, so at cap you can really only use the slots for boosting a less important stat or a skill. Basically, worth having but not a huge deal for most players or most builds.

Double slotted items would probably be best suited for leveling, which would allow you to (for example) make a pair of ML 8 str5/deadly4/insstr2 gloves with heavy fort fear immunity? and master's gift slotted.

That's pretty much all I ever used 'em for, and I maintain it was a great decision Tongue

The MLs on colorless augments are just straight up fuckin stupid. You can get a Stat +6 item with masterful at lvl 9, but to get +6 to a stat on an augment? Fucking LEVEL 20. How is that balanced? Especially when, at level 20l, you could get +7 and +8 items, and it only got better from there?

And +8 stat augments? ML 28.

So, yeah, unless you're slotting awkwardly, augments are all about bumping those lower-level stats a bit. All stats do something. A few extra points in charisma for UMD, points in stats for saves, etc.

SO picture making an ML-20 ring that's really good for 20, and then just casually tacks on two +6 stats? I'll take one of those, thanks.

Except Fort is a blue augment and only slots in armor & shields (and the occasional Cannith Challenge item etc) .......  Double aug slots are always clear/yellow... never going to find a double with green

You're correct, I wasn't thinking.

The ML 20 +6 stat augments are a holdout from the old epic augment system. They don't do well with updating old stuff to be in line with current power levels.

You can do plenty with a Colorless and a Yellow slot for leveling gear.

13: Vitality and Fear Immunity

20: Exceptional Stat, Spell Power

25: Draconic Gem and Imperial Blood

Vitality is tough to slot since a lot of heroic items already have it. I keep one in the colorless slot on my Lion's Mane though.

I have a few colorless +yellow RLG. I hoping one of them is a ring to make a Con/Sheltering/InsCon at ML13 with a diamond of vitality and a deathblock topaz. Just generally too useful to not do.

Spell power in a yellow slot? You sure bro? Huh

The most broken epic PL in the game is the ridiculous AC buff from martial PLs. But when you include all the inherent benefits from reincarnation, the thing is above the roof. The benefit from TR was supposed to be minimal, but now it is game breaking. start a new character and you will feel, you will get raped in heroics.

Personally I think lower heroics on new characters are harder than Legendary Elite content on a character with good gear and has all destinies farmed.

Wow.

Have you EVER gone to Law School Feyn? Have you EVER been asked by a United States Senator who is now the Vice President of the United States to write a paper just for him on a particular topic of Constitutional Law for his use as a Senator? Have you ever been asked to help a very notable Harvard PhD turned Constitutional scholar with his very-well received book on Legal Philosophy and Constitutional Revolutions? Have you ever been offered a job as a Deputy Attorney General BEFORE you even graduated Law School?

No? Then STFU you fucking amateur.

I've mostly been hoarding items with green slots in them.  A single green slot is way more useful than a Yellow + colorless, imo.

I don't know about 2-augment or not... but I've been trying to find all the lootgen "compass" trinkets I can find so I can search them for even one augment slot.  I've found exactly one (Storm Horns chain reward) with a colorless slot.

Anyone have a better idea where these can be found?  Running the SH chain over and over is boring as all getout.

I'd rather have both to keep my options open, and greens still drop so there's no reason to be too concerned about getting them imo.
