Anyone know where to get the augmented AF items yet?

Go do the quest. Augmenting the relic armor is a difficult task for the blacksmith. If you don't want a game with lore behind it then the FF franchise isn't for you.

This explanation is not valid.
Gerolt uses a hammer to "repair" a book, then uses the same hammer to "repair" a wooden bow, before hammering on a mage staff.
Tell me what's harder, painting something or repairing a bow with a hammer?
Just take your AF to Gerolt. I'm sure he'll paint it with his hammer.
