'''Augmentation''' is not a skill itself, but is an important mechanic, with 4 different secondary Augmentation skills. It can be confusing at first, Augmentation as a mechanic involves breaking down Magic gear for materials, as well as Extracting or Adding specific mods on gear. There are 4 different types of Augmentation: Jewelry, Weapon, Armor, and Ancillary. Each one is a skill with levels and experience that breaks down different gear types, and each is leveled independently of each other. Details are listed below.

'''Augmentation''' is not a skill itself, but an important mechanic, with 4 different secondary Augmentation skills. It can be confusing at first; Augmentation as a mechanic involves breaking down Magic gear for materials, Extracting [[Treasure Effects]] from existing gear into Augments, and Applying these Augments to different pieces of gear in order to add the extracted mods. There are 4 different types of Augmentation: Weapon (which includes Gloves), Jewelry, Armor (Chest and Legs), and Ancillary-Armor (Helms and Boots). Each one is a skill with levels and experience that breaks down different gear types, and each is leveled independently.

While [[Transmutation]] lets you '''change''' the treasure effects (mods) on your gear, '''Augmentation''' lets you '''add''' one additional treasure effect (mod) to a piece of gear. With [[Transmutation]] you ''distill'' items into phlogiston and use a transmutation table to make changes. With Augmentation you ''decompose'' items into beads and baubles in order to extract a mod from one item and place it on a different item.

Some challenges must be completed before receiving skills from these sub-trainers. For example, [[Malgath]] is reached after defeating multiple Wolf Cave mobs; [[Poe]] is in an obscure corner of Myconian cave; [[Gribburn]] requires learning [[Goblinese]] and gaining favor with [[Hogan]]; and [[Syndra]] requires resolving a problem.

To learn [[Weapon Augmentation]], for example, a player travels to [[Malgath]] in the Wolf Cave and gains his favor in order to train the first level skill called '''"Decompose Main Hand Weapon"'''. This skill will allow the player to take any enchanted (green or above) main hand weapon and break it down into "beads". The level and rarity of the weapon determine how many beads the player receives. Decomposition also occasionally results in the creation of a [[Prism]], which are reagents used in [[Transmutation]].

===Decomposing Items===
 +
Decomposing {{ItemRarity|uncommon}} or higher rarity items breaks them down into beads, ornaments, baubles, or contraptions, depending on item type (e.g. decomposing Level 1-30 jewelry produces {{Item|Small Ring Ornament}}s or {{Item|Small Necklace Ornament}}s). These constituent materials are then used when extracting or undoing augments.  Decomposing may also yield {{ItemCategory|Prism}}, used in [[Transmutation]]. The type (size) and quantity of materials received depend on the level and rarity of the item being decomposed.
 +
====Decomposition Experience Points====
 +
The amount of experience received in the relevant Augmentation skill depends on the level range of the item decomposed, not the rarity. E.g., decomposing an {{ItemRarity|1}} level 5 ring will yield the same amount of Jewelry Augmentation xp as a {{ItemRarity|5}} level 30 ring, but (substantially) less than an {{ItemRarity|1}} level 35(-60) ring <sup>needs confirmation</sup>.

Augmentation skills also allow you to extract "mods" from that specific equipment type. As an example, [[Weapon Augmentation]] teaches the player to extract "mods" from weapons. Extracting a specific mod effect requires materials gained during the Decompose process. This material is usually specific to the equipment type. Weapons, as an example give beads, while jewelry gives ornaments. The exact materials for each augment extraction are listed on their respective wiki pages. The crafting menu says it costs up to one material per level of the effect(e.g. a staff that requires level 60 fire magic would cost up to 60 beads for a successful extraction of a fire magic effect).

===Extracting Augments===
 +
Augmentation skills also allow you to extract "mods" from that specific equipment type. As an example, [[Weapon Augmentation]] teaches the player to extract mods from weapons (and gloves). Extracting a specific mod effect requires materials gained during the Decompose process. This material is specific to the equipment type. Weapons, as an example, give beads, while jewelry gives ornaments. The exact material for each augment extraction is listed on the respective skill's wiki page. An extraction takes 20 of the required material (e.g. 20 beads).
  
−
Extracting a specific effect requires a "crystal" as well. Putting the wrong type of crystal(e.g. using a redwall crystal because they're more readily available) will result in the item and crystal being destroyed, and the player will receive a message stating that they used the wrong type of crystal.

Using the right type of crystal requires matching up a specific gem's primary and/or secondary effect with the effect of the item. These effects are notated on the [[gems]] page.

For instance, extracting a psychology effect from a sword, the player uses [[tourmaline]] as the crystal in the extract augment recipe. The weapon and crystal are both destroyed in the process, but create an augment that can be placed on another weapon. The player's augmentation skill level determines the success of the extraction; the skill level should be within 10 levels of the weapon's level.(A player with level N Augmentation has a 100% chance of extracting a level N+10 power, but only a 10% chance of extracting a level N+20 power, and a 0% chance of extracting anything higher.) If you fail to extract an augment, the item is lost anyway. Even if the weapon and crystal are destroyed, the player still receives Weapon Augmentation experience

=== Applying Augments ===

The next step of augmentation is applying the extracted mod to another item. The attachment skills are learned from [[Nightshade]] once you have sufficient favor. The recipes for attaching items fall under the [[Lore]] skill-line.

Applying an augment to an item costs 100 Enhancement Points on the item, which is max points for normal loot items (120 for crafted). Therefore you can apply only one augment to an item. Other uses for Enhancement Points include [[Shamanic Infusion]], the addition of Pockets to chest/leg armor ([[Tailoring]] for cloth and leather or [[Blacksmithing]] for metal and organic) and various other improvements such as additional armor through reinforcing ([[Blacksmithing]]) or additional damage of a particular element ([[Tailoring]]).
 +
 
 +
Note that applying an augment will bind the item to your account. Despite the item text reading that the item is bound to the character that augmented it, your other characters will be able to equip it. You can (currently) not augment an item that is bound to another character on your account. If you want to augment items without using the NPC install service, you should make sure that all items are bound to the character that can apply augments, by using that character to transmute the item for the first time (other characters can then transmute the item without rebinding).

===Undoing Augments===
 +
Only one augment can be added to an item at any one time. If you want to undo an augment applied to a piece of gear, use the appropriate "undo" recipe, for example "Undo Augment on Helm" in [[Ancillary-Armor Augmentation/Recipes]]. These undo augment recipes can also be used to undo [[Shamanic Infusion]]s.
 +
 
 +
Undoing an augment always uses small materials (e.g. {{Item|Small Shoe Contraption}}), regardless of the level of the mod being undone or the level of the item. Undoing an augment consumes 25 of the small material.

Augments can now be found in loot from monsters. Augments are much more likely to drop from animals (e.g. bears and wolves) than from sentient enemies such as goblins. The skills you have active will influence the types of Augments you find (e.g. you'll find more Ice Magic augments while using Ice Magic), but there is also a large randomness factor.

(At higher level we expect player-augmenters to make up the difference; the plan is that when we eventually have level 125 monsters, they won't drop augments at all -- only player augmenters will be able to make max-level augments.)

The next step of augmentation is applying the extracted mod to another item. The attachment skills are learned from [[Nightshade]] once you have sufficient favor. The recipes for attaching items fall under the lore skill-line. The recipe uses a reagent specific to the type of augment--a ring or neck augment requires an ectoplasm for example. You can apply only one augment to an item using the lore recipe. applying an augment to an item costs 100 points on the item, which is max points for normal loot items (120 for crafted).

Augmentation Overview

Augmentation is not a skill itself, but an important mechanic, with 4 different secondary Augmentation skills. It can be confusing at first; Augmentation as a mechanic involves breaking down Magic gear for materials, Extracting Treasure Effects from existing gear into Augments, and Applying these Augments to different pieces of gear in order to add the extracted mods. There are 4 different types of Augmentation: Weapon (which includes Gloves), Jewelry, Armor (Chest and Legs), and Ancillary-Armor (Helms and Boots). Each one is a skill with levels and experience that breaks down different gear types, and each is leveled independently.

While Transmutation lets you change the treasure effects (mods) on your gear, Augmentation lets you add one additional treasure effect (mod) to a piece of gear. With Transmutation, you distill items into Phlogiston and use a transmutation table to make changes. With Augmentation, you decompose items into beads (weapons and gloves), ornaments (jewelry), baubles (chest and legs), and contraptions (helms and boots), in order to extract a mod from one item and place it onto a different item.

Along with Transmutation and Shamanic Infusion, Augmentation forms the mechanism for enchanting gear in Project Gorgon.

In addition to its use in player-crafting, augments can also be found in monster loot and applied to equipment by NPCs.

For additional information, see the Lorebook icon_4006.png Augments for Everyone.

Learning Augmentation

Learning augmentation is a multi-step process. Visit Nightshade at the Kur Mountains Outpost to begin a series of quests that allow you to augment gear. There are four subcategories of augmentation taught by the following NPCs:

Training Augmentation

Weapon Augmentation - Main hand Augments, Glove Augments, and Off-Hand Augments
Learn from Malgath in the Wolf Cave. Requires 25 Alchemy, 25 Blacksmithing.
Jewelry Augmentation - Neck Augments and Ring Augments
Learn from Poe in the Myconian Cave. Requires 25 Alchemy, 25 Toolcrafting.
Armor Augmentation - Chest Augments and Leg Augments
Learn from Syndra in a barn in central Kur Mountains. Requires 25 Alchemy, 25 Leatherworking.
Ancillary-Armor Augmentation - Helm Augments and Boot Augments
Learn from Gribburn in the basement of Hogan's Keep. Requires 25 Alchemy, 25 Tailoring.

Some challenges must be completed before receiving skills from these sub-trainers. For example, Malgath is reached after defeating multiple Wolf Cave mobs; Poe is in an obscure corner of Myconian cave; Gribburn requires learning Goblinese and gaining favor with Hogan; and Syndra requires resolving a problem.

To learn Weapon Augmentation, for example, a player travels to Malgath in the Wolf Cave and gains his favor in order to train the first level skill called "Decompose Main Hand Weapon".

Using Augmentation

Augment.PNG

Decomposing Items

Decomposing Uncommon or higher rarity items breaks them down into beads, ornaments, baubles, or contraptions, depending on item type (e.g. decomposing Level 1-30 jewelry produces
icon_5798.png
 
s or
icon_5796.png
 
s). These constituent materials are then used when extracting or undoing augments. Decomposing may also yield Prisms, used in Transmutation. The type (size) and quantity of materials received depend on the level and rarity of the item being decomposed.

Decomposition Experience Points

The amount of experience received in the relevant Augmentation skill depends on the level range of the item decomposed, not the rarity. E.g., decomposing an Uncommon level 5 ring will yield the same amount of Jewelry Augmentation xp as a Legendary level 30 ring, but (substantially) less than an Uncommon level 35(-60) ring needs confirmation.

Level Range of Item XP
1-30 50
31-60 400
61-90 3200

Item Decomposition Recipes

Recipe Skill Level Ingredients Trainer
Decompose Main-Hand Weapon Weapon Augmentation 1 Main-Hand Item x1 Malgath
Decompose Ring Jewelry Augmentation 1 Ring x1 Poe
Decompose Chest Armor Armor Augmentation 1 Chest Armor x1 Syndra
Decompose Helm Ancillary-Armor Augmentation 1 Head Armor x1 Gribburn
Decompose Off-Hand Weapon Weapon Augmentation 13 Off-Hand Item x1 Malgath
Decompose Necklace Jewelry Augmentation 13 Necklace x1 Poe
Decompose Leg Armor Armor Augmentation 13 Leg Armor x1 Syndra
Decompose Boots Ancillary-Armor Augmentation 13 Footwear x1 Gribburn
Decompose Gloves Weapon Augmentation 18 Gloves x1 Malgath

Extracting Augments

Augmentation skills also allow you to extract "mods" from that specific equipment type. As an example, Weapon Augmentation teaches the player to extract mods from weapons (and gloves). Extracting a specific mod effect requires materials gained during the Decompose process. This material is specific to the equipment type. Weapons, as an example, give beads, while jewelry gives ornaments. The exact material for each augment extraction is listed on the respective skill's wiki page. An extraction takes 20 of the required material (e.g. 20 beads).

Extracting a specific effect requires a "crystal" as well. Putting the wrong type of crystal (e.g. using a redwall crystal because they're more readily available) will result in the item and crystal being destroyed, and the player will receive a message stating that they used the wrong type of crystal.

Using the right type of crystal requires matching up a specific gem's primary and/or secondary effect with the effect of the item. These effects are notated on the gems page.

For instance, extracting a psychology effect from a sword, the player uses tourmaline as the crystal in the extract augment recipe. The weapon and crystal are both destroyed in the process, but create an augment that can be placed on another weapon.

Assuming everything went right, the player receives an augment which can be applied to a different main-hand weapon.

Applying Augments

The next step of augmentation is applying the extracted mod to another item. The attachment skills are learned from Nightshade once you have sufficient favor. The recipes for attaching items fall under the Lore skill-line.

Applying an augment to an item costs 100 Enhancement Points on the item, which is max points for normal loot items (120 for crafted). Therefore you can apply only one augment to an item. Other uses for Enhancement Points include Shamanic Infusion, the addition of Pockets to chest/leg armor (Tailoring for cloth and leather or Blacksmithing for metal and organic) and various other improvements such as additional armor through reinforcing (Blacksmithing) or additional damage of a particular element (Tailoring).

Note that applying an augment will bind the item to your account. Despite the item text reading that the item is bound to the character that augmented it, your other characters will be able to equip it. You can (currently) not augment an item that is bound to another character on your account. If you want to augment items without using the NPC install service, you should make sure that all items are bound to the character that can apply augments, by using that character to transmute the item for the first time (other characters can then transmute the item without rebinding).

Undoing Augments

Only one augment can be added to an item at any one time. If you want to undo an augment applied to a piece of gear, use the appropriate "undo" recipe, for example "Undo Augment on Helm" in Ancillary-Armor Augmentation/Recipes. These undo augment recipes can also be used to undo Shamanic Infusions.

Undoing an augment always uses small materials (e.g.

), regardless of the level of the mod being undone or the level of the item. Undoing an augment consumes 25 of the small material.

Augmentation Loot

“

Augments can now be found in loot from monsters. Augments are much more likely to drop from animals (e.g. bears and wolves) than from sentient enemies such as goblins. The skills you have active will influence the types of Augments you find (e.g. you'll find more Ice Magic augments while using Ice Magic), but there is also a large randomness factor.

The goal of adding augments to loot is to make augments more available to low-level players. For this reason, augments are more likely to be found on low-level monsters than high-level monsters. (At higher level we expect player-augmenters to make up the difference; the plan is that when we eventually have level 125 monsters, they won't drop augments at all -- only player augmenters will be able to make max-level augments.)

Some NPCs can now (since June 2018) install Augments for you! By using one of these NPCs, you do not need to have learned the various Augment Installation recipes from Nightshade. Learning Nightshade's recipes will eventually be a cost-savings for max-level players who do a lot of augment-installing, but at the current max level of 80, most players will find it cheaper to use these NPCs.
