For the main quest see Augmentation Gems. Three additional quests grant augmentation gems, Society Infiltration, purchased for 100,000 Luminance from Nalicana, and Gladiator Diemos, one of the Colosseum Bosses.
For (hopefully) helpful suggestions as to which Augmentations might benefit you the most, see the "Advice" section on the Augmentation Gems page.
- Augmentations allow players to permanently modify themselves, adding special abilities and increasing stats.
- Note: Blank Augmentation Gems are treated the same way as non-blank ones, so if you turn one in only to find that you cannot use it you can still give it to any trainer in exchange for the desired augmentation. Alternatively, you can return any augmentation gem to Donatello Linante (Silyun) or Arianna the Adept (Bandit Castle) to receive a Blank Augmentation Gem.
- Monthly Event Update Augmentation Changes/Additions:
- During the From Darkness, Light event a new Infused Void Magic Augmentation was introduced.
- During the Stirrings in the Dark event the timer for picking up a Blank Augmentation Gems was lowered from 21 days to 13 days.
- During the Lost City of Neftet patch Blank Augmentation Gems were modified and can now be handed to Nalicana for 10,000 luminance points.
- During the Master of Design event a new Jack of All Trades Augmentation was introduced.
- During the Present Dilemma event, you can now return any augmentation gem to either Donatello Linante in Silyun or Arianna the Adept in Bandit Castle at 66.5N, 49.9E. You will receive a Blank Augmentation Gem in return.
- During the Master of Arms event the Tristra's Essence Augmentation was removed as the Gearcrafting skill was merged into the Item Tinkering skill.
