Augmenting Armada Hauberk

It's all luck really, higher skill will make it blow up less often though. Even at capped synergy and perfect balance you'll end up with a lot of NQs. Personally I spent around 7M on tatters and only ended up with 6sTP and DA2 :/

It's all about pure luck. D: You can go 1/1 on amazing good stat while others go like... 1/+300 or something.

I've heard that higher skill improves HQ rate, but don't know of any proof off hand.

I've been doing a lot of augments lately (on other gear, not that one per se) and haven't gotten any real string of luck. I've done all my sky item augments with my skill at 80, but I just get loads of NQ/HQ1/HQ2. HQ3 continues to be super rare, although I did have a run of 5 out of 8 this morning, so it's as random as anything else.

I -think- the only thing that the low skill will affect is your impurity ratio, making it harder to do the synth and get it perfectly aligned. Alignment WILL make a difference on HQ, but I think it's the only thing.

I'm still collecting data, but my rough guess on rates is something like 40% NQ, 30% HQ1, 20% HQ2, 10% HQ3, assuming you have aligned elements.

*stops paying other people for synergy*

whaaaaaat o.O

I thought HQ rates were based off skill level just like any other craft.


edit: well... and alignment obviously :X

There's a lot of different ways people handle Synergy. Me personally I just had my friend do it. He's 80 Synergy and we hit 45 Earth and then put impurities to 0% on the majority of them. Did 14 and ended up with 8 Nq's 5 HQ1 no HQ2's then this on the last one:




As others said it's pretty much just luck based. Lower skill will get you more failed synths etc.

Don't bother with impurities, just wasting fewel.

At 80 synergy your HQ rate should be around 90% on gear auguments.

Would say 60-70% hq1, 15-20% hq2 and 5-10% hq3.
I had no where near such a high hq rate at lower lvls, skill lvl defo helps with hq rate.
