Equipment Augments

Augments are extra stats applied to your equipment that push your character further. There are two kinds, and a single piece can carry both at once:

• A4 Augment — added manually at an Act 4 NPC; you pick one option.
• A8 Dragon's Augment — innate to the Champion 80 (c80) Dragon equipment; it grows automatically with your activity.

A4 Augments

Add an A4 Augment by talking to the augment NPC in Act 4 (Channel 51) and opening the augment window.

Each augment costs the same materials:

You may add only one option per equipment, so choose wisely. The option depends on the slot.

warning

Once an item holds an A4 Augment it can no longer be traded or sold — the lock is only lifted if you remove the augment.

Main Weapon

• +20% Damage in PvE (II)
• +15% Damage in PvP
• Leech 250 HP from your target on a successful hit

Secondary Weapon

• Reduces the opponent's resistances by 10%
• +15% Defence in PvP
• Reduces the chance of all negative effects by 20%

Armour

• Movement speed increased by 2
• 10% chance to double a raid box
• All cooldowns reduced by 10%

Removing an A4 Augment

Talk to the same NPC and drag the item into the window to remove its augment.

Removing it lifts the trade/sell lock and gives a partial refund in A4 coins:

A8 Dragon's Augment

The Dragon equipment — the [PvE] and [PvP] Dragon weapon and armour sets — is c80 gear that comes with a built-in Dragon's Augment. It is not a fixed value: it grows the more you play, calculated live from your Exploit stats.

info

Because the growth is tied to your own exploit stats, it does not carry over when the equipment is traded or used by another player — each wearer builds it up from their own record.

There are two independent sets, each built around its Core (crafted at the Dragon Core Crafting NPC — see Specialist Card Augments for the Core recipes):

• [PvE] Dragon set — built with the Dragon PvE Core.
• [PvP] Dragon set — built with the Dragon PvP Core.

The augment depends on the equipment slot. Each starts at a base value and grows with the activity tied to that slot, up to a cap.

PvE set · Dragon PvE Core

Slot	Buff	Grows with	Rate	Range
Armour	+ Reputation gained	Act 8 raids completed	+1% / 100 raids	5% → 20%
Main weapon	+ PvE damage (vs monsters)	Monsters killed	+1% / 10,000 kills	5% → 20%
Secondary weapon	− Enemy elemental resistances (all 4)	Glacernon (Act 4) raids	−1 / 25 raids	−1 → −10

PvP set · Dragon PvP Core

Slot	Buff	Grows with	Rate	Range
Armour	+ PvP defence (damage reduction)	Arena 1v1 wins	+1% / 10 wins	5% → 20%
Main weapon	+ PvP damage (vs players)	Arena of Master wins	+1% / 20 wins	5% → 20%
Secondary weapon	+ Maximum HP	Caligor raids	+500 / 3 raids	2,500 → 10,000

info

The A8 bonus scales with your all-time Exploit stats, so it never resets — every raid, kill or arena win you earn keeps pushing your augment toward its cap.
