# Augmentation Overhaul #
- Augment Slots standardized across all items, into the following types;
- Type 1 (Stats): All equippable items have at least one of these slots. Augs with only stats will fit into these slots.
- Type 2 (Worn): Equippable items without a focus or worn effect will have one of these slots. Augs wih a Focus or Worn effect, along with Type 1 augs, will fit in these slots.
- Type 3 (Spells): Currently unused.
- Type 4 (Procs): All Weapons have at least one of these slots. Augs with Procs, Damage, Bane Damage, Elemental Damage, or Type 3 augments will fit in these slots.
- Type 20 (Ornament): All PRI\SEC\RANGE items will have one of these slots for statless ornaments.
- Type 21 (Ornament): All Visible Slot equipment will have these slots (Currently unused).
- Two-Handed weapons have an additional Type 1 and Type 4 slot compared to 1-handed items.
- This should provide additional coherence to augment itemization, remove the relatively meaningless type 7\8 split, allow for items without foci\worn effects to be a little more valuable, and provide a much-needed boost to two-handed weapons.
- Any augments in slots which are no longer valid will be ejected from items when this gets deployed, and will need to be reinserted.
** THJ ONLY**
- (THJ) AA can be activated while casting
- (THJ) Items can be augmented even if it would result in an item that you can no longer use
- (THJ) Fixed Archery procs.
- (THJ) Fixed Reyfin Malakwa for Multiclass characters
- (THJ) Items upgraded to Legendary via Power Source now correctly show as attuned.
- (THJ) Legendary items may no longer be equipped in Power Source, and Enchanted->Legendary upgrades will eject the item from the Power Source instead of infinitely soaking XP

AA Exp Scaling has been enabled for the first 300AA.

Extra stuff for Kunark
Replaced the level 51 Mage Seasonal AA.
Replaced Companion of Necessity with Dimensional Armory. Summons a 10-slot, Lore, No-Drop, (Not Temporary) 100% WR container. Any items placed inside this container will be automatically equipped by your summoned pets.
Pets will now properly proc augments and display ornaments.
(Summoned) Pet base damage is now influenced by the weapons they are wielding.
Some auto-granted AA had their costs removed. This may cause your total AA spend count to go down. Expect to see more of this in the future.

On next patch:
For those of you new to the server, balance changes are ongoing, both buffs and nerfs will happen to outliers. I try to lean toward buffs for others instead of nerfs for the one- but outliers have to be handled.
