== {{msg:BASEPAGENAME}} 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 {{ItemCategory|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 <span class="extimage32px">{{Item icon|Teleportation For Beginners}}</span> '''[[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 {{msg:BASEPAGENAME}} ===
::  [[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 ==
[[File:Augment.PNG]]
===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>.

===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 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.

== 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.

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.)

==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.
}}

== Trivia ==
*Prior to the [[Game_updates/2017-08-28|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 https://forum.projectgorgon.com/entry.php?24-Augmentation-and-Transmutation-Changes].
*Even longer ago, augmentation resulted in oils.
