New Augments 7/20/09

[Tenjou]

Hello all,

You might remember my introduction a few months ago, where I presented a list of augments. With this new update, it should be obvious that new augments would be added. However, it may not be so clear as to what exactly was added. That's where I come in. I didn't want to necrobump the old thread, so here is a new one. I hope it is informative.

EDIT: I did a lot more research after seeing some other photos, so here are the new facts.

-There are 5 slots for augments.
-There are positive and negative augments, though each specific augment can go as much as 31 plus the base value.
-Some augments can stack in multiple slots to a maximum possible effect of +128 or -128. If you try to stack above +128, it will roll over to -128 and continue adding from there. Same for -128, it will roll to +128 and continue to subtract.
-There is a specific byte to turn off the EX flag if the item isn't already EX. In other words, SE could make it so you don't get stuck with the augmented item... but they are probably saving it for a magical update where they worked so hard to bring that to you.
-As this is part of a regular item info packet, the augments could be applied to any weapon or armor such as Morrigan's Robe or other Rare/EX gear, but not to unequippable items such as Potions (it will appear without any augments). Some augments will only appear on weapons.
-The list of augments can currently be expanded to 1024, however as there is an unused bit, the list could later expand to 2048. There are obvious blanks for combat skills, magic skills, and crafting skills. SE may know what they want to put for the whole list already, but are trying to stretch it out.
-There are combination augments in a single slot. For these, it's one positive and one or two negatives. The negatives will be a value equal to one half the positive, rounded up.

And now for the expanded list. I've bolded the new augments for clarity. The big winners seem to be Summoners, and other pet jobs. Dancer also seems to have nice new ones (I haven't played retail for years now). In all, I would say that there is something new for everyone. We've already seen a +6 INT Weskit; we can only imagine how good some of these would be +6. All the ones I just found after my original post are at the end of the list, as well as at the bottom of page 1 of this thread.

HOW TO READ: Take the two bytes listed, and reverse them. Then convert to binary. The format is then as follows:

xxxxx yyyyyyyyyyy
value augment ID

You have to enter the bytes shown to get the listed effect.

Finally, I'd like to thank Furen, the maker of Cure Calculator. He helped me get the cures just about 100% accurate to retail. Also thanks to Kaeko and others for replying about my spell resist questions (sorry about forgetting names).

We are very close to a new release, after which I invite all mages to help test my spell damage/resist models, and also all crafters and HELMers to help test the developed crafting model. We haven't used melee damage formulas yet. Check my sig for details.

[Cyprias]

01 01 Hand-to-Hand skill +1 o.O

[miokomioko]

Hand-to-hand skill is going to be restricted to the Lv.69 neckpieces from Kupo, watch. Don't get your MNK boners yet.

[Therin]

I was thinking it'd be on the PUP knuckles from Pixie quests.

[pahnphoenix]

oh fuck, if i can get +1 h2h skill and finally break 300 (base damage up once more) i'm going to be kind of pissed. i didn't want to fuck around with this augment shit.

[Cream Soda]

Hand-to-hand skill is going to be restricted to the Lv.69 neckpieces from Kupo, watch. Don't get your MNK boners yet.

To the OP, is there anyway to be able to tell which items have the possibility of getting which augments?

[Tenjou]

Any weapon or armor -could- be augmented in any way. I can't tell how SE chose to restrict the system, only what is possible within their spaghetti code restraints. And by the way, I can 100% confirm spaghetti code from what I've seen.

[Omniyoji]

Oh wow, that's pretty cool.

[Gtype954]

+18 Damage +96 delay
-50 delay +6 hand-to-hand skill.

+18 DMG +46 delay. Hand-to-hand skill 305 with faith torque and 8/8 merits. yes please.

[Chen]

isn't there +2 m.acc found?

[ringthree]

isn't there +2 m.acc found?

Reading is fundamental.

[Midnightjade]

I'm not sure I understand. If we look at (for example) the Hagun recently posted with Store TP+11, how was that generated within this system. Is the Store TP value taking up multiple slots or is it one slot with a huge boost?

Within this system, how high could a piece of gear go in terms of (say) +Haste% or +Pet Acc?

Thanks.

[Davricle]

There was no Hagun posted with Store TP +11.

That was the new Fey GKT

[Midnightjade]

Doh! So many sources for the augments I got confuzzled and forgot it was Rindomaru.

OK, so let's say the Demon Helm I saw posted from VoS FoV that has +31MP. Or the Weskit with INT+6. Are those coming from one augment with a maxed value, or multiple augments which all happen to affect the same stat, falling into line like the wheels of a slot machine?

[Thoreau]

Hand-to-hand skill is going to be restricted to the Lv.69 neckpieces from Kupo, watch. Don't get your MNK boners yet.

/em starts plotting extremely painful and/or embarrassing things to repay Miokomioko for such a horrible (and most likely accurate) prediction.

[miokomioko]

Different sources of augmentation have different restrictions to what can be augmented.

Fey Weapons' augments are restricted to those that have any relevance to the job the weapon can be equipped by. (e.g., you will not find Enhancing Magic Skill on the THF dagger)

Mini Expansion chest items will only be augmented with stats from a specific set, depending on the item. (e.g., Crimson Key's Gold Ring can only come augmented with MP, INT, CHR, MND, and Enmity)

Field of Valor Elite Training has a much larger set of augments that are possible for any item, but they are still restricted to not include things like combat skills, etc. Also, the potency and even the set of augments available is restricted by the level of the equipment in intervals of 5. (e.g. you will not find Magic Critical Hit Rate+ at all or a something as potent as base stat +5 on Brass Subligar)

Are those coming from one augment with a maxed value, or multiple augments which all happen to affect the same stat, falling into line like the wheels of a slot machine?

And, as I realize I may have misunderstood your question, the augments that look like "AGI-1 DEX+1 VIT-1" are all one augment. The list in the OP states there are seperate values for these. There exists simply "stat+1" possible augments but also the same with some negative effects paired with it.

For example, if you traded in a Cape, and it came back with Fire Resist +1 and Wind Resist +1, that was actually two random augments each with the value of 1. In the same scenario, if it came back with Light Resist +2 and Dark Resist -2, that is actually 1 single augment with a value of 2.

[Deimos]

Is there any way to tell the potential additional effects, Tenjou? The Pixie weapons are starting to show some odd added effects, like this one:

http://www.bluegartr.com/forum/attac...fight-augo.jpg

Would be interesting if there was a list of the possibilities.

[Midnightjade]

Lots of good stuff

Thanks, that's helpful. I'm most interested in the FoV system since I have a bunch of tags/tokens from doing FoV.

On Tenjou's list, how do I tell what's available on an item by level, assuming all augments are available for all items of a particular level (is that assumption valid btw?).

Thanks.

[Tenjou]

Are those coming from one augment with a maxed value, or multiple augments which all happen to affect the same stat, falling into line like the wheels of a slot machine?

It is possible that the INT+6 is a single augment. However, it could be spread over a few augments. That particular weskit seems to be a single augment, probably 1f 3a (1f 02 + 28, in other words add 5 to the base value of the AGI-1 INT+1 MND-1 augment, and negatives get cut in half for combo augments).

Within this system, how high could a piece of gear go in terms of (say) +Haste% or +Pet Acc?

Within the absolute bounds of the code, any one augment could stack over 4 slots for a max of +128 (augment ID + f8). If you use the fifth slot to go even higher, it rolls over to -128, then increases from there back toward 0. Of course, that won't actually happen for one gear piece. Who knows what SE decided to do.

Is there any way to tell the potential additional effects, Tenjou? The Pixie weapons are starting to show some odd added effects, like this one:

Investigating now. Thank you for pointing those out.

[miokomioko]

I would have made the assumption that the INT+6 Weskit was given two augments, each with a value of 3. Also, extremely lucky. Unless, however, I'm missing this trend of negatives getting cut in half when the value is greater than 1, but couldn't that also be from values of multiple augments on one piece often being equal? (or is that just unlikely if the stats you're basing this off of are very common x-1 y+2 z-1?)

Have there been reports of, say something like:

DEX-2 AGI-2 STR+2
DEX+2

resulting in an augment that looks like AGI-2 STR+2?
