'''Augmentation''' encompasses four different skills that allow you to augment items with assign specific treasure effectsto items. The four categories are: Jewelry, Ancillary Armor, Armor and Weapon augments. To learn how to apply augments, speak to [[Nightshade]].
Learning augmentation is a multi-step process. [[Nightshade]] sends players to visit four of his associates: [[Poe]], [[Malgath]], [[Syndra]], and [[Gribburn]]. The player can then return to [[Nightshade]] to learn weapon augmentation, which makes it possible to train some abilities. The player will also have to travel then travels back to [[Poe]], [[Malgath]], [[Syndra]], or [[Gribburn]] in order to learn individual types of augmentation. Each of these sub-trainers has their own challenges such as having to use violence to reach their locations (i.e. [[Malgath]], [[Poe]]), learning [[Goblinese]] and gaining favor with [[Hogan]](e.g. [[Gribburn]], and carrying wood for the campfire so [[Syndra]] is warm enough to talk to the player.
Using [[Weapon Augmentation]] as an example, a player first travels to [[Malgath]] and gain 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, between approximately 1 and 30 beads given out. Decomposition also rarely results in the creation of a [[Prism]], which are reagents used in [[Transmutation]].
Assuming everything went right in this example, the player recieves [[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 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.
