Augment and trophy

[Aethia]

Apologies if this was covered in another thread - my search revealed no matches on 'trophy augment'.

I recently acquired my Pottery trophy. I had a +5 CHA augment and, given my gear and the fact that I am a necro, I decided that the best place for it would be on my trophy.

Before augmenting the trophy could be placed in Primary, Secondary, Range or Ammo (no stats on ammo, naturally).

After the augment, the trophy could no longer be stored in the ammo slot.

This was not a result of the 10/8 patch as I noticed it prior to the patch. For me it doesn't make a difference since my mount will go in the ammo slot. But I found it unusual that an augment would remove the ability for an item to be placed in a slot.

Not certain if this is a bug or not. I am rather happy as a necro with 144 CHA and my trophy.

This is not a bug. The single stat augments dropping in dungeon have the following slot restrictions:

EAR HEAD FACE NECK SHOULDERS ARMS BACK WRIST RANGE
HANDS PRIMARY SECONDARY FINGERS CHEST LEGS FEET WAIST

Note that this covers all slots, except Charm and Ammo. And once an augment is combined with an item, the item takes on the characteristics shared by BOTH the item AND the augment. The item has the Ammo slot, but the augment does not ... hence, the combination cannot be equiped in the Ammo slot anymore.

Working as intended. If you put an augment which is slot restricted (it will say so on the augment, just right click it) into an item which is not restricted, then it will default to the augment's slot restrictions.

So when you put a cha augment that is probably primary secondary range on it, then it looks at that as the restrictions.

Note that you don't gain any stat benefits from keeping the trophy in the ammo slot to begin with... iirc.

Augmentation Restrictions - Worn Locations


Remember, when you combine an augmentation and an item, the result will have all of the restrictions of both items.

I'd like to stress this specifically when it comes to worn location.

If you have an augmentation that can only be used in the wrist location and you apply it to an item that can be worn on the wrist and neck, the resultant item will ONLY be wearable on the wrist.

Please keep that in mind when augmenting your items.

aye thank you all.

It seems I didn't remember that fact

I do recall reading some discussion about ammo slots and augments. I can't remember much of it, but with so few items being 'permanent' (mounts, trophy are just 2 I can think of) I guess it struck me as strange that these items could not be augmented in the ammo slot.

Of course, someone would probably try to augment fishing bait and then petition when it was used up -- so better no hassles than too much augmenting.

Just glad this feature doesn't impact me since I love the stats (even more so with +5 cha augment) and my lizard will sit in the ammo slot.
