No longer possible to augment base Ironworks Gear?

[ItMe]

They said in the patch notes that if you turn in a non-augmented piece along with 100 tomestones you can trade it for an augmented one.
As for the twine and such? Probably just chuck it.

The patch notes said you can do that with non-augmented Shire and Scaevan gear.
I saw no mention at all of Ironworks gear in the patch notes, and haven't found any vendor which would let me upgrade Ironworks gear with poetics.

Having the same issue. Checked all the new vendors, no upgrade options. Don't want to fork out the extra poetics to buy the augmented gear at heaps more the cost. Quite annoying.

I just went through the patch notes and they said that gear, that was obtainable by traiding in certain items, cannot be achieved anymore.

That truly sucks imo.

Strangely enough, the vendors (such as Seika in Idyllshire) still have the option for the dyied version.
You just cannot achieve the necessary item anymore.

Calamity scavengers apparently exchange unupgraded weapons purchased with poetics (ironworks, shire, scaevean) for the augmented versions (for 100 poetics)

Almost. They gladly exchange Shire and Scaevan gear in that way - just as the patch notes say. They do not have an option for Ironworks gear - and the patch notes make no mention at all of Ironworks gear.
