New set bonuses will be interesting then with so many Artifact bonuses from the above!
Looks like it’s worth keeping some of the stuff we don’t normally roll on!

[Dragavon]

Note that for the soulforged set bonuses you need 3 augments.

The augments does nothing else than give you a set bonus.

If you want the wild fortitude +4 artifact bonus to con, which is awesome, then you need 150 threads, 3 empty soul vessels (we have no idea how rare these will be) and 3 Quori-Infused Cores from legendary Lord of Blade.

Then you need to slot the augments in 3 different items.

So making any of those augments will be insanely costly and take a very long time.

[Dragavon]

Any item that has an Augment slotted into an augment slot when you log in after the update will work exactly as it had before the update unless you choose to intervene and unslot that augment using a “Legacy Augment Unslotter”. Legacy Augment Unslotters are a new item that is sold at House Cannith crafting halls (NOTE: For this preview Legacy Augment Unslotters can be found on the platinum Auction House) which allows you to remove augments from legacy style augment slots and, in the process, convert the legacy style augment slot and the augment to work in the new augment system. To use a Legacy Augment Unslotter do the following:

Double Click on the Legacy Augment Unslotter
Drag the item that you wish to unslot a legacy augment from
Select which Legacy Augment you would like to unslot
Click “Unslot Augment”
Log Out
Log Back in
