Quote:U48 Preview 2: Augment Revamp
This whole post is new to preview 2
Disclaimer
Everything seen on the preview server, Lamannia, is not final and is subject to change or removal before live release.
Overview
Expected with the Release of Update 48 is a revamp to Augments. This, in large part, fundamentally changes the underlying structure of how augments and augment slots function. The post below describes how these changes will appear to players. The posts below this one list the various new Augments that are expected to be included in the release of Update 48.
Augments You Already Have
Any Augment that is not slotted into an item when you log in after the update will be updated to both work with the new augment system and reflect the power level of Cannith Crafted effects at the minimum level of that augment immediately upon first logging in with no other action required on your part.
Any item that have an empty augment slot when you log in after the update will be updated to work with the new augment system immediately upon first logging in with no other action required on your part.
Any item that has an Augment slotted into an augment slot when you log in after the update will work exactly as it had before the update unless you choose to intervene and unslot that augment using a "Legacy Augment Unslotter". Legacy Augment Unslotters are a new item that is sold at House Cannith crafting halls (NOTE: For this preview Legacy Augment Unslotters can be found on the platinum Auction House) which allows you to remove augments from legacy style augment slots and, in the process, convert the legacy style augment slot and the augment to work in the new augment system. To use a Legacy Augment Unslotter do the following:
Double Click on the Legacy Augment Unslotter
Drag the item that you wish to unslot a legacy augment from
Select which Legacy Augment you would like to unslot
Click "Unslot Augment"
Log Out
Log Back in
New Augment System
Slotting Augments is no longer done by double clicking on the augment and dragging into the crafting UI the item that you would like to slot the augment into. Instead you now drag the item that you would like to slot an augment into (that has an empty augment slot) into the Augment Slotting panel located in the right of the Inventory menu (Currently named Modify Legendary Greensteel Items). From there, each augment slot available on the item will be displayed. Empty slots can be filled by dragging the correct color of augment into the slot. Filled slots can be emptied by dragging a Jeweler's Toolkit over a slotted augment.
Updated Basic Augments
All normal augments that grant basic statistics (such as Dexterity, Spell Power, etc.) now provide a bonus that is equal to a Cannith Crafted effect of the same minimum level of the augment. This means for example, that minimum level 16 Diamonds of Wisdom now grant 8 Wisdom (matching level 16 Cannith Crafted gear) instead of the 5 Wisdom they used to.
New Basic Augments
There are a number of new Basic Augment types that cover stats previously not granted by augments. You can see the list in the post below.
New Named Augments
There are new named augments that can be gained from different sources. In the posts below are lists of the new named augments expected in U48 and where to find them. Some can be found specifically in Fables of the Feywild content and others can be crafted using a combination of Threads of Fate, an Empty Soul Vessel (which can be found in Fables of the Feywild content), and various different Raid items. The list of these augments are in the posts below.
Known Issues
Augments do not currently enforce their minimum level on the item they are slotted into.
Augments slots are displayed twice on an items tooltip
The Augment Slotting panel button in the Inventory Menu is still called "Modify Legendary Greensteel Items"
Legacy Augment Unslotter tooltip text is entirely inaccurate. It is currently the same tooltip text as Jeweler's Tool Kits have historically had which does not describe how to use them.
Jeweler's Tool Kits tooltip description has not yet been updated to describe how to use them
