Synergy Augment Question

[Kristal]

So if I understand correctly the only augments I can put on the vest are monster family related? Pretty much useless in that case, unless there are some mob family related augments that really help in abyssea (i still have yet to partake in an abyssea party).

FilledTriangleUp is mostly "Vs. family", yes. You can also add Resist Status instead.
What evoliths do you want to put on the vest?
[1] Vs. family : Attack/Evasion/Accuracy/Magic Defense Bonus
[2] Vs. birds : Magic Attack Bonus/Defense/Magic Accuracy/Magic Evasion
[3] HP/Utsusemi Enmity Up

If you want an Attack/Accuracy/HP vest, you should go for the Ebur Vest. (It has 8/8/8 rather then Furia's 8/6/5)

If it's looks you want... the ebon versions have been reused by the dominion NPC. Ebon Vest = Spry Vest, Shikkoku Togi = Kokugetsu Togi, Ebon Talar = Mederi Talar.
No furia or ebur versions yet, but I suspect SE will add those for lvl 95 and 99.

It's a shame really.. the evolith system had potential with the 'make-your-own-armor' thing, but they let it slip and die.
