Anyone know where to get the augmented AF items yet?

Grindwall has been the answer to everything lately...

On the other hand, you do have a bunch of people in this topic complaining about the items needed to glamour these armors.

Personally, I think SE went overboard on the requirements for the stuff they added today: glamours on AF costing several myth items is bad enough, but then they also made the synth for the magicked broom required to clean the chocobo stables use a glazenut, a broombrush and 5 bamboo (of which you can only get roughly 1 per hour). At least this synth makes 20 brooms.

How to screw up both dyeable AF and Chocobo Raising in one single patch.

Should have made it where the Myth version was dyable, as those are just reproductions of the Artifact armor (so no problems with those being dyable), at the very least theyre reproductions and not armor thats been passed down for years.

Couldn't agree more. The most outrageous recipes. Add a cool feature and make it so only the elite rich can afford it. GG squeenix.

Yet most people will do it to look different.

Which flags up an inherent design flaw in so much as everyone looks identical at max level due to the lack of variety in gear choices caused by a strict vertical progression where each significant update introduces one set of gear per job with bland and uninspired "+1 betterer" stats on it.
