[big]Augmentation Gems[/big]

Posted By Ibn on 23-May-2005
Throne of Destiny provides a brand new way to spend experience points: Augmentation Gems. These gems provide new and unique ways to enhance your characters. By completing a quest to acquire a gem and paying an experience point cost, you can add a new permanent ability to your character. These gems are a new form of character advancement for the most powerful heroes in Dereth, and can only be found in the Throne of Destiny expansion pack.

To acquire an Augmentation, you first need to obtain a Blank Augmentation Gem. Once you've found one of these, bring it to one of the NPCs listed below. Each NPC carries a different Augmentation Gem, which he or she will exchange for a Blank Gem or one of the other Augmentation Gems.

Once you have the Augmentation Gem you want, and enough unassigned experience points to pay for it, simply use the Gem and the new Augmentation will be added to your character! Some types of Gems can be used more than once to further increase your new ability, others can only be used one time. You can always open your Character Information panel to see which Augmentations your character has acquired!

Below is the complete list of Augmentation Gems and providers that will be available at the launch of Throne of Destiny.

Innate Attribute Augmentations
Cost: 500 million experience

Each of these Augmentations will increase one of your innate attributes by five points. No innate attribute can go above 100. You may use up to ten of these Augmentations over the life of your character.

Example: My character has an innate Coordination of 75. After using an Oswald's Enhancement gem and paying 500 million experience, my character will have an innate Coordination of 80. I could then use nine more Innate Attribute Augmentations by acquiring the gems and paying the experience point cost, although I could only use 4 more Gems on my Coordination.

The Keepers of these gems can all be found at the Fiun Outpost in the Halaetan Isles.

Again, this is only when the character is lying down.

Archmage's Endurance
Cost: 1 billion experience
Keeper: Nawamara Ujio of Tou Tou

Any spell that has a duration, when cast by a character with this Augmentation, will have its duration extended by 20%.

This applies to any spell with a duration that you cast, including spells that you may cast on items or on other players, even Fellowship spells.

Clutch of the Miser

Keeper: Rohula bint Ludun of Ayan Baqur

This Augmentation reduces the number of items dropped by a character upon death. Each use of this Augmentation reduces the number of items dropped on death by five.

Innate Resistance Augmentations
Cost: 2 billion experience

Each of these Augmentations will grant a character 10% innate resistance to one damage type. Only two of these Augmentations may ever be used, but you may use any combination of two.
