No longer possible to augment base Ironworks Gear?

Hope there's a hotfix or something soon.

It is a bit of a sucky situation, but luckily for your fiancé there is no real need for her to upgrade the level 50 gear. The non-augmented Ironworks gear is good enough for all the level 50 content, and as you level up you can get better gear in other ways.

I literally just joined these forums to complain about this. It's no longer possible to augment Ironworks gear and frankly I think that's unacceptable. They need to add a similar upgrade as with everything else.

I know Ironworks gear is only useful through Heavensward-ish but keep in mind that the augmented gear is easily dyeable and the base gear is not. So even if it isn't useful to you stats-wise anymore you now have to spend all those tomestones to basically start over just because you want the shirt you already own to be... idk, yellow.

But you can still get Augmented Ironworks gear. In fact it's easier than ever.
You make it sound like you're upset that Agmented Ironworks was taken out of the game which simply isn't the case.

Is weird that they didn't give us the option.
There is some people like us who don't play always and keep alternative gear for some other jobs waiting down the list.

If we got the base gear, there is no point to buy the whole item again.
Ok, good for the people who carries 2000/2000 poetics always, but is not fair that on Shire or Scaevan there is the chance, and not for Ironworks.

A little bit of thread necromancy to say that you can in fact upgrade the Ironworks gear to Augmented versions for 100 Poetics even after this patch. I upgraded old pieces today (Jan 2021) However, the vendor is in North Shroud, named Drake. He is near Gerolt in Hrystmill. The vendor works the same as all the others, he's just not in Mor Dhona like you might expect.

Just to confirm ^
