Augments

Augment NPCs:
Augment NPCs (listed from left to right as in the picture above):


 * Gerlbotz (T1 augment NPC, G-9)
 * Rhap Talashpehn (T2 augment NPC, G-9)
 * Maleroune (T3 augment NPC, G-9)
 * Roman (T4 augment NPC, F-9)

Augment Bank
The augment bank works as follows:

T1=0, means you can use 1 T2 shard. T2=3, means you can use 3 T3 shards. T3=0, means you can use 0 T4 shards.
 * 1) Type:
 * 2) Note how many of each "bank" are listed.
 * 3) A bank must be at least 1 to augment the  next tier  shard.
 * 4)  Example : T1=1, T2=3, T3=10

Instructions:

 * 1) See the Augment Bank section, then continue.
 * 2) Equip the piece of gear you want augmented.
 * 3) Talk to the NPC that corresponds to the shard level you're augmenting (e.g. Gerlbotz for T1). You'll see a "registered" system message.
 * 4) Remove the piece of gear and make certain it is in main inventory. Move the gear out of a wardrobe to main inventory if necessary.
 * 5) Trade both pieces at the same time exactly as shown in the example, where Slot 1 is your chosen equipment, Slot 2 is the augment shard:
 * 1) If steps 1-5 are done correctly, you'll receive the gear back with a new augment. Click the "- key" to view the augment.

Note: Any subsequent augments will overwrite the previous augment. GMs will not "refund" an augment.

HQ Augments
There are also a chance to roll an "HQ" augment on T1 and T2 shards, you can only get these special augments ONCE.

The HQ augments are as follows:

5 Str, Dex or Vit and Damage Taken -5% 5 Int, Mnd, or Chr and Refresh 2 2 of Str, Agi, or Int at +5 (example: Str+5 Agi+5 or even Str+10) 5 Str, Dex, or Vit and Triple Attack +4% 5 Int, Mnd, or Chr and Magic Crit Rate +5 5 Str, Agi, or Int and Rapid Shot +8
 * T1 HQ for WAR, MNK, THF, PLD, DRK, BST, SAM, NIN, DRG, PUP, DNC:

Tier 4 Shards
T4 shards drop from the following:


 * Tinnin (treasure drop)
 * Sarameya(treasure drop)
 * Tyger (treasure drop)
 * can be obtained from the daily NM hunt given by Vaihilique in the upper levels of @base.

T4 shards do NOT have a "HQ"

T4 augments apply to hands, feet, and head armor only.

T4 augments give 4 total augments. 1 Static stat, 1 random stat, and 2 random augments from the list of 4 for each job.

You can get the same augments twice, so you could get STR+2 DEX+2 Haste+2 Double Attack+2 or you could get STR+4 Haste+4 (that would be two 2 str rolls and two 2 haste rolls, also mind you I'm using the lowest values). As a example a perfect roll might be STR+4 DEX+4 Haste+4 Double Attack+4, or STR+8 Double Attack+8.

Information on the augments possibilities for T4 can be found here.
