@Knight-Raime I think you mean "pug" which means "pickup group"

Oh look, there is a mode that has BIS weapons with better droprates. Wow, its almost as if the only point of getting these weapons is to get their augment factor.

If I sold the rest of the goods I got from farming, I would make a 3 mil profit.

So yea, farming your affixes can soak up a lot of the costs

@Akonyl just yesterday I farmed flict and made a tech unit +110.

Total cost: 3mil

About half went into market

@Ragnawind For reference, the correct term for this is multiboxing.

@EpyonComet said in Having a hard time understanding augments, so -:

As someone in a similar situation as OP, I want to thank them and the rest of you guys for providing this info.

I also want to thank @Jay6x specifically for this simple clause: "It generally takes at least 2 of the same Soul to affix that particular Soul (3 to increase success rate)". That explains so much of my confusion, as I couldn't figure out how to transfer Souls and I don't think I saw anyone actually specify that in plain terms.

Nowadays nobody transfers a soul like that. They just make an Alles Di Soul or an Astral Soul. You only need 2 souls for the easier one (Alles Di Soul).

Your first soul would be Yamato/Eastern/Mother Soul. Your second soul would be Snow/Varder/Vol/Gunne/Quartz/Fang/Nept/Meduna/Ringa/Bar Soul.

You can then choose between +35 attack stat of choice +3pp. Or +25 in all attack stats and +3pp.

Also Flict tyro: Infinite Corundum (50 photon boosters)

will save you 3 affix weapons you will have to buy on the market worth 12 million on ship 3.

Out of everything ARKS MAX seems the weakest. +25 ranged on your weapon (it gives +25 melee and +25 tech too) is less than +35 from precision IV. Keep in mind you aren't affixing a unit but rather a weapon and you won't be using melee power with a bow.

The only benefit from mastery III is the enhanced defences it gives but these are still rather poor. It doesn't even give health. If you want more defences I would suggest Stamina III (or higher) and if you want more offence I would strongly recommend Phrase weak if you have access to it. Not only because these are more effective at their task but also because it is much cheaper to affix (You would need 3 weapons with mastery III versus only 1 with phrase weak or the common stamina III)

Oh and nothing is stopping you from having multiple Fornis bows for other elements. In fact that's pretty wise
