i got NQ first synth and decided, why not? let's just try 1 more. brook didn't think it was worth the time or gil, but i said meh. after HQing the adaman chain synth i had a really good feeling about it... random HQ on cursed breeches. what this screenshot doesn't show is when i augmented his uncursed armada breeches 5 minutes later. look up my screenshot on wiki if you don't believe it, but we got enmity -5, conserve tp +4... and STR+9. 1/1 hq3 augment. insanity.
