I've noticed out of the HQ Vs the NQ, Gets better augments "Sky" gear
Just to name one out of many:

Dalmatica
DEF: 45 "Magic Def. Bonus" +5
Adds "Refresh" effect
Enhances "Resist Paralyze" effect
Converts 50 HP to MP
Lv. 73 WHM / BLM / RDM / BRD / SMN

Augment: Quick Magic +1%

----------------------------------------------------

Dalmatica +1
DEF: 46 "Magic Def. Bonus" +6
Adds "Refresh" effect
Enhances "Resist Paralyze" effect
Converts 55 HP to MP
Lv. 73 WHM / BLM / RDM / BRD / SMN

Augment: Quick Magic +3%

Just naming one possible Augment.

----------------------------------------------------

Also a thought, How would this work or effect the NQ Vs HQ Relic gear if they use this system. FYI, I'm just assuming this as a possible augment..

Assassin's Armlets
DEF: 16 HP +7 CHR +5 Enmity +3

"Treasure Hunter" +1
Lv. 75 THF

Augment: Extends "Bully duration+1"

----------------------------------------------------

Assassin's Armlets+1
DEF: 17 HP +26 CHR +5 Enmity +4

"Treasure Hunter" +1
Lv. 75 THF

Augment: Extends "Bully duration+3"
