Anyone know where to get the augmented AF items yet?

[Amused]

The worst part is we don't even get to see what it looks like in all the dye colors without having to invest in it in the first place. Why make something so expensive when you can't even tell if the result will be what you were hoping for? This was such an unbelievably horrible decision. I have some pieces of some sets that I would like to EXPERIMENT with, but with the absurd cost and investment to even obtain a dyeable piece of AF, I don't even want to do it anymore. Why? Because I don't even know if I'll like the way it looks when dyed.

As a very casual non-Legacy, active since early access 2.0 player - and a lurker - I find the myth and seal mat requirements for the AF1 items is bit much. Now, I won't say "don't use myth and seal mats" as there should be a way of creating demand on the market boards. But requiring one to be a master level ALC, then having one spend about 15k myth and a LOT of seals on a recipe that makes 1 item that you need 5 of to fully augment a full set of AF1 armor? That pushing it a bit - and a reason to price gouge. Further, this decision means that if someone wanted to augment all nine of the current AF1 gear sets, they would need 67500 myth, several hundred thousand seals, and a master AlC.

I short, if the ~1 to ~1.5 million gil price tags (on Gilgamesh at least) for one augmenting item were to continue, I can't see many casual players being able to get these items for a while.

Can't we get a compromise here SE?

Honestly, I was expecting some sort of quest chain like our relics, but this isn't just outrageous, it's downright unfair.

The amount of work and money pushes beyond anything currently in the game. Either make these cheaper, or make the iLVL shoot up.

This is just terrible planning.

I really wanted to do this to. I don't understand what the hell they are thinking. Yoshi P I am very unhappy right now.

[Mayh]

I am also disappointed by this.
Why over complicate such a simple thing as dyeing some gear for glamours?

btw housing , minions, relic quest (novus) and new gear (primal weapons , augmented AF , augmented ilvl 90 chest for glow ect) one has to wonder if SE wants the players to burn gil just because....

[indira]

wow, SE must have a deal with RMT, just to dye your gear it cost millions. good job SE at making something useless so hard to obtain.
looks like the bots are here to stay.

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.

Yeeeeaaah... Lore created to disguise a stupid decision usually goes by a far more uncharitable name... The most polite way to say it I guess is "The excrement of the male of the common domesticated bovine"

Dunno why ppl r so blah about it now.
I just did duty roulette and bought the tawny latex from tht quick 500 myth and bought the rest of the myth items on mb.
Got some left over seals and got the other stuff.
In all it costed me about 600k but i felt generous and i tipped the crafter 50k cuz i made her wait there due to me having to find a master carp cuz she couldn't make ancient lumber.

Well, there are two kinds of glamour players.

A) Want rare stuff to walk around and imagine everyone is staring with envy to make themselves feel better than everyone else.

B) Want common stuff to motivate logging in and playing.

Sadly, group B will have to wait longer before logging into this game that is severely lacking in vanity motivation for casual players. But group A can enjoy their grind to be the differently colored AF person.
