Augments and Crystals

Augment Slots

Epic items have augment slots. By adding an crystal to the appropriate augment slot, you can increase the power of your epic items by adding additional properties. The type of epic item determines what color augmentation slot is has, which determines which upgrades can be added to that slot.

• Weapons = red
• Armor = blue
• Accessories = yellow
• Green slots = blue or yellow
• Violet slots = red or blue
• Orange slots = red or yellow
• Colorless crystals can go into any color augment slot

Purchase your crystals from Misty who looks like she needs a Red Bull next to the Epic Altar.

Catalysts

Catalysts cost 1 epic token or 2,500plat and tell the Epic Altar which open slot you want a crystal to be forged in to.

If you have a crystal that has two compatible augment slots, you use the color catalyst of the slot that the crystal needs to go in during the forging.

Catalysts are required, even if there’s only a single slot in your item.

Here’s an example from Junts:
Lets say you epic a Kundarak Warding Shield. Said shield has a purple slot (takes colorless, blue or red) and a blue slot (takes blue or colorless).

If you want to give the shield Luck +2 (a blue augment), you need to make it clear which of those two slots the affect is going to go into. The catalysts cost 2,500 platinum and tell the altar which augment to put your crystal into.

Violet catalyst + luck 2 augment crystal + shield = luck uses the violet augment slot
Blue catalyst + luck 2 augment crystal + shield = luck uses the blue slot instead.
