I'm just curious if there's any benefit for going after the higher level FoV NMs, likes the Behemoth Dominion ones, for augmenting lower level gear? Do they give better augments than the lower level ones, or are they the same as all the others with just a bigger item level range?

Seems the benefits are random, Ive been doing Behe Dom ones and gotten like +3 earth stats... check out the thread on BG for a list of all the auguments so far

# +1 VIT (Spike Necklace) - Earthsday, Last Quarter Moon 55%, Daytime
# +1 Dex, Resist Stun +1 (Holy Shield) - Lightningday, Last Quarter Moon 55%, daytime

# +7 Fire resist, +6 dark resist (Drone Earring) - Firesday, Full moon (95%)
# +1 Attack (Friar's Rope)
# +10 Fire resist (Magna Gauntlets)


Yeah... it's pretty random. For the most part they all suck, but once in a while you might get lucky. Though generally not worth the effort consider you can't resell any items after augmenting them.

Got this from Behemoth first try. I'd like to get one with +2 str with no - stats though.

On Behe I've gotten a Puissance ring with +4HP -4MP and a pair of leggings I got from a casket in yhoator, thinking maybe casket items might have a higher chance for better augments.. got VIT+1 CHR+1 MND-1 INT-1 on it....lol Maybe I should've tried it in yhoator instead where I got it? :/ I figured behe would give the better results being it's harder. I did a garnet ring with the tiger NM in beauc and got +2MND on it..lol I wish there was some sort of factor that helped determine what stats you get... even if it meant trading crystals related to the element of the stat you wanted when they implemented this.. i.e. trade a stack of fire crystals to ensure +STR goes on it. But unfortunately you can't. :/
