Anyone know if the augments are better depending on which training regime you do? Say you trade a level 5 item to the behemoth regime... would it produce a better augment than the regime in gustaburg? And yes... I know most augments suck anyway, that's not my question lol.

I did my Beetle harness in BD yesterday with the highest page I could use. It got Ranged Attack +1 Resist Petrify +1 and 4 Water Res. So I'm guessing the answer is no. hah

I havn't put this to the test yet, but my theory is better augments come from you being closer to the NMs level. Its called 'elite' training and all ive seen people do so far (including myself) is go batter a weak nm on a 75. Thinking of sorting out a low level, level synced party and see what that yields.

I tried a lv10 Rep bronze medal (Mp+2) in Xarcabard and just got water res+6, whoo-hoo.

Then, thinking along the lines of gear closest to the lv cap for the area, took a lv50 Raven Jupon (Eva+9 Enm-9) to BD and got hMP+1 added on. Not SPECTACULAR but i was just hoping for +'s and not -'s so im happy.

What I learned: Gear closest to the lv cap augments better. Ofc this is based on my 2 random experiments, but its logical if nothing else.

Also, I hadn't seen hMP+ on an augment yet, so another benefit.

No. Kinda obvious, you won't get level 50 augment useable at level 5. Would make no sense :p Augment is scaled accorded to the level of equip augmented, thats why you only got [Lightning+3] [Eva+1] on your level 5 item.

As for lightning weather, I got [Wind+9] [Dark+7] on a level 40 item and weather was on. Coincidence :)
