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 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

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

Small Ring Ornament

s or

Small Necklace Ornament

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

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.

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.

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.)

— March 9, 2020 Game Update

Augment-Installation Services

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. The following NPCs can install Augments for you:

NPC Name	Zone	Install Cost and Requirements.
Amutasa	Rahu	Amutasa can install Level 0-60 Augments for 650 Councils. You must be [Friends] or better.
Joeh	Serbule	Joeh can install level 0-20 Augments for 50 Councils. You must be [Comfortable] or higher.
Kalaba	Eltibule	Kalaba can install Level 21-40 Augments for 250 Councils.
Kib the Unkillable	Red Wing Casino	Kib the Unkillable can install Level 21-50 Augments for 350 Councils.
Nightshade	Kur Mountains	Nightshade can install Level 0-100 Augments for 2000 Councils.
Preta	Sun Vale	Preta can install Level 0-50 Augments for 350 Councils. You must be [Close Friends] or better.
Rick Snapley	Gazluk	Rick Snapley can install Level 61-80 Augments for 1000 Councils.
Torgan	Gazluk	Torgan can install Level 61-80 Augments for 900 Councils.
Tyler Green	Serbule Hills	Tyler Green can install Level 0-25 Augments for 0 Councils. You must be [Friends] or better.
Urzab	Ilmari	Urzab can install Level 41-60 Augments for 650 Councils.

Trivia

Prior to the August 28, 2017 Game Update, Augmentation was (even) more complicated. A dev blog regarding the changes made to Transmutation and Augmentation can be found here: https://forum.projectgorgon.com/entry.php?24-Augmentation-and-Transmutation-Changes.
Even longer ago, augmentation resulted in oils.

+===Extracting Augments===
-• [[Syndra]] in Kur Mts--Armor (chest and legs)
+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).
-• [[Gribburn]] in Eltibule--Ancillary Armor (boots and helm)
+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.
-• [[Poe]] in Serbule--Jewelry (neck and ring)
+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.
-• [[Malgath]] in Kur Mts--Weapon (mainhand, offhand and gloves)'''
+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.
-To be able to talk to each of these sub-trainers, a challenge must be completed. For example, [[Malgath]] is past mobs in the Wolf Cave; [[Poe]] is in a back corner of Myconian cave; [[Gribburn]] requires learning [[Goblinese]] and gaining favor with [[Hogan]]; and[[Syndra]] has a puzzle to solve.
+Assuming everything went right, the player receives an augment which can be applied to a different main-hand weapon.

-Using [[Weapon Augmentation]] as an 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 rarely results in the creation of a [[Prism]], which are reagents used in [[Transmutation]].
+=== 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.
-[[Weapon Augmentation]] teaches the player to extract "mods" from weapons. Extracting a specific mod effect costs beads. The crafting menu says it costs up to one bead 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).
+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]]).
-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.
+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).

-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.
+===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.

-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 level N player 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
+== Augmentation Loot ==
+{{Quote|source=[[Game_updates/2020-03-09#Augments_In_Loot|March 9, 2020 Game Update]]|
+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.
-Assuming everything went right, the player receives an augment [[new example]] which can be applied to a different weapon. (In the past, augmentation resulted in oils, which are no longer used in the mechanic.)
+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.)
+}}
-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 one augment to an item using the lore recipe. For additional enchanting options, please see [[Transmutation]].
+==Augment-Installation Services==
+Some NPCs can now (since [[Game_updates/2018-06-20#Augment-Installation_Services|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.
+The following NPCs can install Augments for you:
+{{ #dpl:
+ | category   = Augmentation
+ | include    = {NPC infobox}:zone,#Augmentation,
+ | columns = 1
+ | table      = class="sortable wikitable" style="width:100%",NPC Name, Zone, Install Cost and Requirements.
