Augmentations

Augmentations are items found in the game that add stats to the items you craft. Crafted items in Rift are always better stats-wise than gear gained by questing, or random mob drops. While rare (blue) gear is often better than crafted – of the same level range. Augmentations can be found in Daily Crafting quest bags and boxes or purchased from the Planar Augment Merchant in your major city.

How Augment stats and power are determined

  • The Augment Type determines which stats it gives.
  • The Augment’s Level & Rarity determines the relative power of these stats, before they’re crafted into the item.
  • When applying an Augment to an item the item slot also plays a role in the amount of stats that are applied. The larger the slot, the larger the bonus.

So Chest items get larger bonuses than Accessories.

How success and failure work with Augments

A player’s chance of successfully crafting an item with an augment depends on the skill level of the Augment, the level of the item, and the crafter's skill.

Chance of failure increases if:

  • The Augment is higher in skill level than the recipe you are trying to use it in.
  • The Augment is higher in skill than the crafter’s current skill level.

Chance of success increases if:

  • The Augment is lower in skill level than the recipe you are trying to use it in.
  • The Augment is lower in skill than the crafter’s current skill level.

As a general rule of thumb, the larger the difference between the Augment's skill level, the recipe’s skill level, and the crafter's skill, the greater your chance of success or failure (depending on if the difference is in your favor or not).

Below is an example of two different items (a necklace and chest armor) that are given the same Augment. Note that the spell power is slightly higher on the chest piece.

Details regarding how failure and success rates work with augments was provided by Erick Zann via System Designer, Gina Reams. Thanks Erick!

Once you place an augment it will then say "trivial" or "very difficult". This depends on the skill of your profession. If your profession skill is 150, then you will find 150 skill augments "easy". While if you used a 250 skill augment when your own profession was only 150, then that combination would be "very difficult".
