Omg i made a terrible mistake, or did i?

Ok so couple days ago was last day of free augment... well, technically, not free, it was same price to augment but only 1a to remove the augment stone from the weapon. So it was a large advantage financially to try to get the augments you want (Active Reflect damage, Active Refresh and Active Duel Might) On C grade weapons so the gems to augment it is only 20 D grade gemstone instead of 13 A grade for R grade.

So I started by buying unidentified C grade weapons, KNOWING THAT by augmenting as many times as I predicted I had to, I'd eventually keep some augments that wasn't really the ones I expected, I though to myself it's better to be a higher grade weapon so if its a skill that needs a landing chance or anything that has to do with M.Atk or P.Atk it would be better on THE TOP C GRADE WEP.

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY... My main weapon is Apocalypse Cutter With SA. Health. So in Olympiad... when I use a C wep with an augment skill... by switching weapons... I lose my Health SA Hence I have 25% Less HP just to give myself something like +Crit or +Max HP or +Clarity or whatever... so anyway, I though I'd get Yaksa Mace since it has a possibility of having Health SA So by adding Health on the Yaksa and an active Augment, i could use the skill withough loosing the HP, that was the whole idea.

When u buy an unidentified weapon, you get a random SA by "Checking" it... but the unidentified wep costs 1.04kk and I didnt wanted to buy many and check them until i get the health sa, i just though I'll buy one and i'll put augment on it and when i get the good augment i'll change the SA and put health, it will make me save money. So that's what I did... I bough a bunch of Yaksa Maces and checked them, and then I added augments on them, when I though the augment was descent, i kept it and changed to a new yaksa mace... so... after 150kk adena spent on this process, i got tired and stopped...

My progress enabled me to get thoses augments i consider "OK"

Augment Passive : Reflect Damage (Of course I wanted ACTIVE but I though to myself well, on cases where I have no chance of winning i could use UD + Yaksa and spike shield and with the high % Reflect hope that the opponent kills himself) So I decided to keep it. The SA on that Yaksa mace was "Anger" Which reduces 15% HP To add some p.atk.

Augment Active : Refresh (YES! That's one of the skills I wanted... I got it using a Life Stone Level 84. The skill says "Refresh Lv. 3" So maybe I would of gotten Refresh lv4 or lv5 with R grade or R-95 R99 life stones??? That... I don't know but for now I got Refresh Lv. 3 And I'm happy about it. The SA on that Yaksa mace is "Rsk. Focus" It doesn't touch your HP Total but I'd still lose 25% HP from switching from a SA Health weapon to this, so Of course I had in mind to put SA Health later on.

Augment Active : Clarity (Yay! Another skill I wanted... Altho the one I wanted THE MOSTTTTT was Active: Reflect Damage, but I got it passive, oh well... the skill says "Clarity Lv. 3" : Decrease MP Consumption for all skills. On this I have to say that I've goten through cycling all thoses augment other clarity augments, one said "Clarity Lv. 2" : Decrease MP Consumption for Magic Skills and "Clarity Lv. 5" : Decrease MP Consumption for Phyisical Skills and "Clarity Lv. 4" : Decrease MP Consumption for Skills. It was pretty confusing but overall the lv.3 (all skills) was approx 15% Less mp and the lv 5 (Physical) was -10% for phyiscal skills only so all in all it was VERY confusing so I only kept the one with "ALL SKILLS" but thoses "lv"'s were very confusing and ***ed up :|
On this Yaksa Mace I had the SA Anger as well.

Needless to say, I couldn't go in OLY with thoses SA, because by switching to my Yaksa Mace with Anger, not only would I lose my 25% HP from the Apo Cutter Health, but I'd also lose an additional 15% HP from the anger, so it was a NO GO To use this mace like it was, so I went to Black Marketeer of Mammon to remove the SA... and guess what... there is NO OPTION TO REMOVE THE SA... So I searched around the NPCS and I heard Trader of Mammon could remove SA... SO I WENT ON TO SEARCH THAT LIL ***** AND WHEN I FOUND HIM HE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM' CANNOT REMOVE THE SA OR CHANGE IT IN ANY WAY...

SO I'M STUCK WITH GOOD AUGMENTS THAT COSTED ME 150KK TO OBTAIN ON YAKSA MACES WITH ANGER ON THEM, HENCE LOOSING ME 40% HP ON OLY IF I WANNA USE THE AUGMENT ON THEM.

PLEASE TELL ME THIS MISTAKE IS FIXABLE, PLEASE TELL ME THERES A WAY TO REMOVE THE SA FROM A BOUND C GRADE AUGMENTED WEAPON OR... UNBIND IT AND THEN IT CAN BE REMOVED OR ANYTHING BUT TELL ME I DIDNT SPENT 150KK FOR AUGMENTS AND THEY ENDED UP ON WEAPONS THAT MAKES THEM UNUSUABLE..... THAT WOULD SUCK !!!!!!!!!
Unfortunately, the only way to change the SA on the weapon is to remove the augment :(
You can't remove SA from bound items below R grade, afaik... Unless I'm mistaken. Ofc you can unbind them, but it requires you to remove the augments...so you're screwed anyway.
You are screwed.
Look on the bright side, I know people that dropped 10bil on augmenting and didn't get anything worthwhile. I personally spent 2bil+ in A gems last week and got crap for it.

While I realize that 150kk can seem a lot to new players and casuals, in reality it is chump change in this game. Be careful about spending too much money for Oly stuff, it should really be the very last thing you concentrate on. Get 99, xp your dual class, OE the skills on your main, get a good armor/wep/boss jewels, and then play the Korean random game they call augmenting.
I didn't think anybody still bothered trying to augment C grade stuff. :D

A lot of people do actually. Low C is the cheapest means to achieve stuff like active reflect/refresh/etc..
Active focus on summoner on C grade..nice to go beyond 500 crit rate on pets..but that active reflect still hasn't shown up yet.:)
