OOW Augment info

[Fian]

First off a gem cutter is needed to apply your JC skill to the augments. In bazaar, only one was being sold for 10k (item is trivial 30 something, so 10k is way overpriced). To make the gem cutter, though, you need diamond dust that drops off giants in Permafrost. I killed about a dozen of them and no diamond dust dropped. I opted to buy the 10k gem cutter instead. I also had 2 flowstones that I was told dropped off named in OOW. With JC2, GM with GM bag, 280 INT 280 DEX and 280 CHA, I tried to apply the fine hydroabrasive + gem cutter to the augs. I failed on both attempts.

You're from Tunare, aren't you? You're going to hate me for this, but ...
I'm the shaman you ran into while hunting the dust, and then you'd sent me the tell about the cutter and the fails (/comfort). I got a dust drop off a Magus in Vox's room, made a baby gnome and made the cutter, and tried the combine on the one augment drop I'd found in the bazaar, and ... got a Radiant Cut Voidflow (found trivial 351, I was super lucky, yes). It is possible! Don't give up!

One of the reasons for the high price of the gem cutter is that it's used in a revamped Veeshan's Peak quest for some sweet items. My gnome has sold three gem cutters for 25K each in the last few weeks. I'm very glad he held onto one for his own use.

LOL Kheera, yes that was me on Tunare

Grats on the drop and successful combine!

So let's say I have Mudflow Stone. Can I "polish" it and then "radiant cut" it later? Or do I only get one shot?

Based on the EQTC OoW Augs Guide, I don't think so - you have to pick the JC step you want the first time, no going back:

Once a stone has been cut in any one of these three methods, it cannot be changed to a different cut or back to the basic stone.

So the tinkered gem cutter, made from diamond dust, is the correct one? I had seen some gem cutter tools in Abysmal Sea and was hoping it was for a new gem cutter. I didn't want to have to collect diamond dust.

They may have acidentally left the tinkered thing on a vendor. SOmoene would have to try the combien to confirm it is the same item. It is suposed to be the tinkered item.

[Yakk]

I believe the vendor gem cutter tools are for the Gates of Discord Breakdown in Communication quest progression.

[splunge]

Yeah, thats a different item.

The one weird thing about Everquest is that item names have to be EXACT.

'griffon egg' is not the same as 'griffon eggs'.

[Kieroth_whiteleaf]

Not just names.. ID numbers too.

THere's a couple caster runes (either attraction, nagafen, or expulsion - don't recall which) to where there's two different runes with the exact same name that make different items. They don't stack with each other either.

Probably was immensely frustrating back in the days when the UI ate DNCs

[brolbain opimian]

nother example of that for all the old schoolers is "rune of ivy" all had the same name but identified as different quarters of one bigger stone.
