when you augment a rare item (pcc, etc) does it lose its rare? o.O

i have seen a screen shot of a rare item being augmented and it no longer has the rare icon

Yeah, but could you use two of a rare item through trading and getting it augmented and removing the rare tag...hmmm? Not that I can think of any uses for that off the top of my head, but interesting.

You'd probably lose the 5% haste with all the randomness going around.

As far as I know and from what they show in Wiki... You can't augment Rare or EX items. I have yet to try this myself due to the fact that I had 35 tabs up until last night. XD

Now here's the million dollar question... Did you see a 'pic' of it or did you actually see someone wearing it in-game?

Edit: Anyway... I'm heading home sooo... I probably won't be on the forum later.. My point was that unless you've seen it in-game, I call BS til people can 100% confirm that you can augment Rare or EX gear.

Well if that is true, why on earth would you even try something like a PCC ><;

Glad that idiot had it happen.

The wyvern earring thing is too good. SE won't let that continue if it does work, but it most likely doesn't.

You do Elite training regimes - trade the item to the Field Parchment - defeat the NM und get it~

Items that are rare/ex can not be traded ~here

SH can not be augmented, since the maximum lvl of equip you can trade at is 50~

Question: it says that you get back double the amount of gil traded to the "?"...is there a cap on this, and if so, what is it? Cause, yeah...that'd be uber, unless it's some low *** lame cap like 1k lol

Look like it - same place same NM different time - different stats (refering to the reported Life belt change on wiki) ><

i highly doubt i will ever use this service (i said before that came out that it will def. not make any better items anyways, noone wanted to believe me) - its random, someones verve ring got -1dex and -1 vit.. way to go!

Those items are completely separate from this system. They're rewards from a battle in the new storyline if I remember right.
This doesn't look like it's gonna be worth the time at all... might as well just get Beastman Seals.

Those items are gained after clearing the new Storyline Crystalline~ You get one of the bodies as reward and can choose 2 augments. They are NOT gained via the Elite training.

Yeah there is a cap, i heared something like 1k gil in Behemoths Dominon or so, dont have exact numbers yet.

so really, only thing it will be good for is midgear between levels 30-60 and rare case things like a woodsman ring or sniper ring etc

edit: in responce to your edit magi, i mean the fact that rare cant be augmented, i think that wasnt done right XD because i have now seen augmented leaping boots (+3 dex +3 agi) (-2 Agi +7 wind) lawl

i wouldnt even try to augment my rings that way... should i ever get a ring to replace that i would throw 200+ out of the window... ( but thats just my opinion ><)
