September 2018 Version Update

So you lose the mask when you trade it once? So if you had 2 Aeonics you would need to kill Jeuno boss >> upgrade one with white mask >> get another black mask, upgrade to white and then trade for 2nd Aeonic?

This isn't correct. You don't need to wear anything specific to gain credit for unlocking the augments. It's based solely on alliance damage dealt to the boss.

There's a lot of confusion about these augs. It's easier to think of it as two entirely different systems, one for RMEA and one for Dyna gear.

Unlocking RMEA Augs: Requires either 30m damage on the wave 3 boss of a weapon's given zone (Jeuno for Aeonic, Bastok for Mythic/Ergon, Windy for Relic, Sandy for Empy) or by progressing thru the 10k JP hoops. Speak to Oboro to begin the JP steps, or speak to him after completing your Light Mask and trade your weapon to begin augmenting.

Unlocking Dyna Gear Augs: Just trade the Dyna weapon/neck to Oboro and choose your path, nothing else needs to be done, except (probably, I dunno) having visited Dyna D before.

RP for RMEA: M. Astral and S. Astral crystals from Omen and Dyna only. Trade them to Oboro along with your weapon to apply their value.

RP for Dyna Gear: Killing mobs in Dyna-D zones while wearing the gear (will split the RP between weapon and neck if you have both on) or trading Oboro Heroism Crystals along with the piece of gear. FWIW, a wave 3 boss clear that wasn't optimized for wave 1 and 2 trash provided the first 12 ranks of a neck. The augment items for Dyna gear largely just feels like an option for those that don't Dyna or those who want to augment gear for a job they rarely get to take. You'll cap out a piece of gear within 3 full runs with ease.

Observations from today's Dynamis run:terrifying part was the end, talking to oboro he will only ask you about any rmea you have, just say yes. it has no influence on what you can trade after, and you can trade multiples. the only part I don't understand is why even after clear do you get a second mask KI and it earns points. will update more after our next run on saturday.

^you're right, nothing to be terrified about but it seemed that way initially as I stated.

You can augment multiple RMEA simultaneously. One clear from dynamis-jeuno and I'm able to augment Fomalhaut and Lionheart

Nothing to be terrified about. You don't lose your mask of light. The mask of darkness returns and you earn points back. Cap it out again and receive a free large crystal. Kill a fetter to get it back, repeat. There's some goofiness the first run because if you killed the boss enough and had an overflow of credit from damage to the boss, you received your mask of darkness, lost it, and gained the mask of light on the first fetter. You then got a mask of darkness again on another fetter, followed by losing it and getting a crystal on the next if you've killed the boss enough.

A LS member ran into an issue today when trying to get his Aeonics flagged for augs. He had the mask of light and was acknowledged by Oboro as being capable of augmenting, but he couldn't figure out how to get him to aug his weapon. Turns out, you can't trade a murky crystal, it has to be a swart crystal.

No. I used battlemod to scan the mobs' levels, but turned it off before I engaged.

I was also confused by the results. The numbers did not quite add up to my expectations (3.75 * (30 + 11)) * (1.0~1.05) = 153~161. I think there might be some species term in there for blunt? idk. I don't think it invalidates the testing though unless you think he's lieing. Despite the reason he's getting slightly higher numbers than expected, we still observe about a 4% increase in overall damage.

I thought the KI was permanent and you could upgrade weapons in a category as you go. This is crazy - is it the same with the JP method? Make 1 in 14 weeks and then you can make another in another 14 weeks?

It seems like nobody could verify that it works like Ou. There's only been one chance to obtain a mask since the patch hit.

I'll try on something else tomorrow with screenshots if you are bothered by it.

I feel like I'm on crazy pills.
