[dev1013] Overwriting stats?

[Fincat]

[dev1013] Introduction of Synergy Augments
• After the synergy process is complete, players will have the chance to confirm the potential augments and choose whether to implement or abandon them.
If the augments are implemented, the equipment's statistics will be overwritten.
If the augments are not implemented, the equipment's statistics will remain in their existing state.
Augments that have been added through Synergy can be removed.
The closer the elemental balance is to an ideal state, the more augments can be added.
Recipes may be obtained by speaking with the Synergy Engineer NPCs stationed next to synergy furnaces.
Crafting skills are not required.
• The first installment of Synergy augments added in the upcoming version update will affect the following items:
Genbu's Shield / Genbu's Kabuto / Suzaku's Scythe / Suzaku's Sune-Ate / Seiryu's Sword / Seiryu's Kote / Byakko's Axe / Byakko's Haidate / Kirin's Pole / Kirin's Osode / Hecatomb Cap / Hecatomb Harness / Hecatomb Mittens / Hecatomb Subligar / Hecatomb Leggings / Hecatomb Cap +1 / Hecatomb Harness +1 / Hecatomb Mittens +1 / Hecatomb Subligar +1 / Hecatomb Leggings +1 / Koenig Schaller / Koenig Cuirass / Koenig Handschuhs / Koenig Diechlings / Koenig Schuhs / Kaiser Schaller / Kaiser Cuirass / Kaiser Handschuhs / Kaiser Diechlings / Kaiser Schuhs / Adaman Celata / Adaman Hauberk / Adaman Mufflers / Adaman Breeches / Adaman Sollerets / Armada Celata / Armada Hauberk / Armada Mufflers / Armada Breeches / Armada Sollerets / Shura Zunari Kabuto / Shura Togi / Shura Kote / Shura Haidate / Shura Sune-Ate / Shura Zunari Kabuto +1 / Shura Togi +1 / Shura Kote +1 / Shura Haidate +1 / Shura Sune-Ate +1 / Zenith Crown / Dalmatica / Zenith Mitts / Zenith Slacks / Zenith Pumps / Zenith Crown +1 / Dalmatica +1 / Zenith Mitts +1 / Zenith Slacks +1 / Zenith Pumps +1 / Crimson Mask / Crimson Scale Mail / Crimson Finger Gauntlets / Crimson Cuisses / Crimson Greaves / Blood Mask / Blood Scale Mail / Blood Finger Gauntlets / Blood Cuisses / Blood Greaves / Shadow Helm / Shadow Breastplate / Shadow Gauntlets / Shadow Cuishes / Shadow Sabatons / Valkyrie's Helm / Valkyrie's Breastplate / Valkyrie's Gauntlets / Valkyrie's Cuishes / Valkyrie's Sabatons / Shadow Hat / Shadow Coat / Shadow Cuffs / Shadow Trews / Shadow Clogs / Valkyrie's Hat / Valkyrie's Coat / Valkyrie's Cuffs / Valkyrie's Trews / Valkyrie's Clogs

**When you say, stats will be "overwritten," Do you mean augmented stats or the stats already in place on the item? Just checking.

I agree that it's somewhat confusingly worded, but have some Copypasta from the item forum:

I'm fairly sure that's not correct. They probably mean that you can re-write the augmented stats and replace them as many times as you want.

Here is the system as they're describing it:
1) You synergize some kind of augment for some kind of armor, which is capable of replacing any current augments on the armor.
2) You're given a dialogue that says, "Would you rather have this augment than the current one?"
3) You choose yes or no, and either implement the new augment or not.
4) If you don't like any of your augments, you're capable of removing them so you can store the piece with the porter moogles again.

Same post was over in the proper area, aka crafting

[Fincat]

It's SE. Like I said, just checking. I'm guessing it's related to the augment as well, but you never know...

[Vold]

Previous twitter pictures confirm it's simple augments placed onto the gear. Stuff we've been seeing for awhile now.

[Karbuncle]

My guess is Statistics, They mean the Old Augments if you augment it twice.

I dislike the terrible clarity in the words. but i can assume they dont mean the entire thing will be rewritten.

Anyone else feel that old gear should stay old and obsolete?

[Teakwood]

Nope! Obsolete gear is dumb and I've been looking for an excuse to drag my friends up to Sky. Are you trolling?

Do you feel that your AF1 should be upgradable to be competitive with your Emp. Armor? What makes sky gear so different, the amount of time people spent there?

[Novax]

Seems pretty weird to me, make a ton of new gear which is better then say hey let's get them to use their old ass 75 gear.
Also not impressed with the no salvage upgrades.
