Why can we delivery box NQ JSE capes but not augmented ones?

[Gwydion]

This is a little annoying.

We can delivery-box unaugmented JSE capes between characters on the same account but not for augmented ones. :(

Can this be changed SE?

(I mean, it's too late to do this in time for the campaign unfortunately).

[Zarchery]

It seems a little absurd. Maybe there's a programmatic issue. Can you mail other augmented stuff? I think that it's because of the randomness of the augments. I think that delivery, like Porter Moogles, doesn't actually move the item. It creates a new copy. Since the augments are random, an identical copy can't reliably be created.

I'm just speculating, and if that's the case, it might be too difficult to make the augmented capes mailable.

Though I don't see a reason why the grab bag itself can't be mailable.

[Artharian]

I suspect you're right about there being a programmatic reason - skirmish weapons can be sent un-augmented, but not augmented....

Art.

It's not too difficult. You can mail fish with weights and incompletely used enchanted items. They just never updated their delivery system when they introduced the augment system.

As for making the grab bag unmailable, that was clearly a design decision to prevent people from doing exactly what you want to do.

Which is kind of sad considering the point costs already limit how many you can get add on to that the odds of getting one you want and then actually getting good augments on it and it's almost like there intention was that they were going out of there way to make sure that you had a very low chance of getting something useable even after blowing all your points

You can remove the augments though, as I recall. You have to do so to trade three in to the exchange NPC. Can you also reaugment them?

[Byrth]

You cannot reaugment them. They're augmented when you get them (from other various usable items), and trading them in just gives you an unaugmented cape.

The whole 3-for-1 system was basically outdated when Incursion was released, because no one cares about unaugmented capes.

[Alhanelem]

they'd probably lose the augments if sent through the delivery system and that's why.

This.

There's a weird bug that will let me send my augmented WKR weapons to other characters, but not armor though. I've been able to put my augmented Atoyac in the delivery box to my mule, but I've never sent it for fear of it losing it's augments.

I think a nice solution to this would be if SE invented a new way to get augments on these capes. Maybe with ghastly stones? They are worthless these days, so it might re-invigorate their demand.

I think trading a few of the same cape to get one back with augments would be nice... lord knows I've toss hundreds of capes
