    Ambuscade tweaking

    First off, thanks again for listening to us and refining the entry system . Great work! Now can you please refine the cape augment system? Having to trade that poor little taru 50 times per cape puts him and I both to sleep ! I understand the first trade of each item being 1 to pick the augment, but can we get it to where I can trade the other 19/9 of that item in 1 trade? PLEASE??

    Hello!

    Unfortunately, we have no plans to make this adjustment.

    The reason being we wanted to lessen the risk of mistakes happening when trading in multiple items at once. For example, if you turned in 20 and selected the wrong stats, then it would have been a lot worse than trading in one and making a mistake.

    We hope you understand our decision when it comes to trading items concerning Ambuscade-related cape augments and thank you for your feedback!

    If I may ask then, why not make the first trade "Mezzotint" much like the augmenting system we see for trading in items to Oboro for JSE items or to Nolan for Escha gear? Once that's set, you can ask him to change it in exchange for a single item, or you can trade and advance how much you've already done. This way, you reduce the risk of mistakes, and still speed up this process a lot more than making 50 individual trades for each cape.

    If we have to trade it 20 times, we are more likely to make a mistake. What happens if we choose the wrong stat on the 20th trade, the cape reset to 1/20 on the new stat right? How is this better than trading the 20 and selecting the wrong stat?

    You can't choose different stats unless you use the needle thing. You set the stat on the first trade

    Please don't. It's already grindy enough.

    I think another possible suggestion is to allow the npc to store the augment items, then we can augment them from that stock. Would save the trading part. I can understand if they only allow you to apply one at a time, but at least you'd only have to trade the cape and can use a command line or macro for it that way.

    Personally I think it's fine as it is... it's not like your trading 100 items, it's only 20 at most... unless your constantly changing augments w/ needles or something.

    Actually you're trading 50 items per cape with the current system for full augments (20 thread, 20 dust, and 10 sap). I would much rather risk picking the wrong augment over going through the augmenting menus 50 times for a single cape...
