Random Augment system.

[Rustic]

I've got a better idea.

Why not both?

Yorica gives us both random armor drops and specific ones we can trade wings for.

Why not have a single stone provide a random augment, but, say five or ten of those stones (with an according multiple of bayld cost as well) provide a "best case" augment of choice for the tier?

I do a bucketload of Yorica and end up with 5 +1 Verdigris Stones. I blow all five + 2500 Bayld and get a best-case +1 augment of my choice on an armor piece instead of a random one for a single stone + 500 Bayld- or I can take my chances with a single stone.

People will still be doing Skirmish for tons of stones as a result.

Edit bonus: Let people trade in unaugmented armor pieces for a stone- hands/feet for NQ, head/legs for +1, body/shield for +2. Now nothing goes to waste even if it's useless!

Hmmm.... this has potential.....
BUT....
And I'm mainly just thinking about Hagondes with its 20 possible augments...
It doesn't really solve the issue about getting +pet atk when want/needing +MAB (not +pet MAB).

Why wouldn't it? Drop enough stones on it to pick your augment, choose +MAB. Problem solved.
