agumentation question again.

I got a lvl 70 stone as drop yesterday and i wonder about using it on my SOM.

My question is. Do i have to be lvl 70+ to use my weapon after applying that stone? I'm lvl 74 now, and i was planning to keep that weapon for when i do sub. Can i use the weapon from lvl 61 and up?

afaik the only good thing about high level stones is it gives better chances at 3tier augment bonus, and thrice the power.

you can use ANY stone as an augment stone if i understand the system properly. low or high. the stone level only determines the capability and power of the augmentation effect.

to bad its a random effect huh? let me know if you get 4% p.atk bonus on that som :P

now, i was wondering if its possible to have 2 of the same SAs??? like say that som with acumen already...augment it and it gets acumen again...30% cast speed bonus?!?

effect is random. gl getting it. and i think most of the augment effects are stat bonus NUMBER based not PERCENT based.

And the level you can apply it obviously.

To directly answer the first posters question, as long as you are 70+ you can apply the stone to any weapon you so choose (C grade and up).

After that, you can use it on a subclass, main class, whatever without any level restrictions.

Ty so much for quick answers all. :cool:

Going to try it really soon, and post results here if i dare. :eek:

Edit: Critical 24.1 and Max MP +37.8 was the result i got.

Actually, that was a good question as I was looking through that guide but hadn't readily found the answer.

That result only strengthens my belief to not invest in this Augmentation system at all. 38 extra MP...for a level 74 nuker, that's not even one nuke.

I think it's more the stat bonus that is of interest.

24.1 Critical would have been great if it wasnt on a mage weapon. This was my first experiment here

Yeah the crit would have been rocking on a focused item already.

Its just like anything else, luck of the draw. There are some truely amazing augmentations out there if your lucky. Otherwise, just sell the **** stones and make a fortune.

Three of my friends got life stone drops.

One had a +12.1 crit rate increase and +.07 evasion.

Another got a bonus of +.08 HP and CP recovery AND an active ability that temporily reduces the attack speed of a target. (Very nice debuff, I think; like having a second SA.)

The third got +.07 hp recovery and +5.1 m.atk.

Nice little extra bonuses to have, when you think about it. The highest grade that they used was mid level. Just imagine the possibilities with a high level stone.

This Wind shackle debuff was like 2% on hit ?

Not all abilities on the same. For wind shackle for example... it can activate if you are hit, when you hit, when you nuke, or it can be an active ability.... which is what the op said it was.

You guys have it made..I have +3.3 p attk, +0.1 mp and +0.3 cp regen .. as a destroyer, the p attk makes little difference and the mp.. =-(

well on pts i got +9.9 crit and +2.4 evasion on a pole
the +24 crit you got would have been pretty cool if it was for any other class
what i can i say its just another nuker nerf :P

I used a mid lvl 46 life stone for this one

not bad
man is there any reason at all to get higher lvl/ higher grade stones?

Well, a higher lvl grade stone is suppose to put a glow on the weapon,
And for the higher lvl, It says this in the interlude patch note:

"The bonus granted during augmentation is random, determined by the levels of the Life Stone and the weapon. The success rate is 100%." ;)

Higher grade is higher glow...(though if you roll a good effect you'll still get a glow)

Higher level is higher chance to get the "good" effects. Sure you can get it on lower level stones, but its rare.

So far none of the ones posted in this thread are even near the quality of a high level high grade stone. (Like, +100-200 CP, +30-40 Crit Rate, etc)

Till now i ve been on xp with my 62 SR for 5-6 hours and no life stone dropped. Not even at my clanmates, is it so rare?
