[yurdi]

They're supposed to be introducing new Type 3 augments in the near future, but they're being secretive about what they'll do and where to buy them.

For now, you can get a Dodge +8% Type 3 from the Everfrost LDoN merchant, as well as several other augs from different LDoN vendors. I think the others max out at 2 mana/tick and 20 ATK.

Do the + hp LDoN random drop augs fit in slot 3? I think I long ago deleted all of mine, but just curious.

All of the old Slot:Any augs are now Slot:1,2,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12.

There's a new Type 3 aug that was posted to Lucy's yesterday, Shard of Guktan Hate, 20 ATK. Not sure if it's one of the new generation Slot 3 augs or not. http://lucy.allakhazam.com/item.html?id=68186

[Elfdruidess]

If you check out the Lucy IDs from 68181 to 68190, most of them are listed as from LDoN and in game for a while. Only 68186 is found in Dec 2007. Next closest is 68187 found in Jun 2007 (and already before SoF).

LDON Search tool, sell explanatory drop downs.

I have that +dodge mod one.

If I were a melee, I'd get the +20 Atk ones.

Some other ones there have See-invis, Enduring Breath, or Ultravision.

Make sure you check before you buy the +ATK ones ---My beastlord alt is so over-cap the +ATK ones are a waste of a slot.

The see-invis and enduring breath ones are worth their weight in Porous Loams, though, as you no longer have to worry about accidentally removing your Faerune. ;D

[Aldier]

And anyone that has the EB aa and innate self buffs with see invis capabilities or a faerune item would not need the see invis augs.

Currently, for a caster, the type 3 augs are absolutely terrible. There is the Dodge +8% aug and after that, for a druid, the next best aug I could find is 5ac, 5hp, 5mana or 5 Fire/Cold/Magic resist. Thats IT. No other aug I have found for type 3 is of any value. Mana regen is so plentiful on gear that those are worthless now too.

I'm still curious as to why the BiC aug had slot 3 removed from it

The LDoN augs that havn't had slot 3's removed are all pretty minor; 1-2 regen/mana regen, 10 or 20 attack, a couple with dodge mod, etc.

Hopefully whenever they unveil the new intent of type 3's is, it won't be lukewarm

Because the crybabies who are too gimp to go out and fight for their gear are jealous and don't want us having great augments like BiC that you can't buy in the bazaar or sit in guild hall and make.
Fits right in with the LoN *buy your gear* philosophy.
Coming soon, EQ item mall, don't play, just shell out some cash and you too can be uber.

Someone needs a good swift kick in the quest container.
Yes, I'm unreasonably ticked off about that change.

It's because the devs don't like you sticking HP augs in anything other than type 7 and 8s.

The BiC augs were deemed too powerful, as most casters stuffed them in the slot 4 of their epic. Heck, doubtless many do and I'm amazed they've not had the temerity to nerf it yet. Perhaps it's due to the outcry it'd cause, as the argument that casters don't melee therefore the slot 4 is useless have appeared more than once.
Similarly, the BiC augs could be placed in the slot 12s of cultural items and back when 45 HPs was the most you could put in there it was a darned good aug to use.

The same thing happened way back when LDoN first came out, as the 12 HP augs that dropped randomly were initially any slot compatible - they were swiftly nerfed!

The more recent removal of slot 3s from augs such as Tipt and the VP key was to stop you putting extra HPs in the as-then upcoming SoF gear, the change happened in September. (Prior to that they were all changed in April to stop you stuffing them into the purity aug slot of TBS gear).

Oh it had NOTHING to do with any player comments.

It was decided by the team before there was even a glimmer of slot 3's going out to players.

It is still by far the most flexible augment there is, but there is definitely the desire to make people choose between it and other "stat giving" gems, and not go into a slot where there is no intention of including stats. (there is a minor hint about slot 3)
