New Augments coming in Patch 7.6

Hey Community!

I’m here to give you more details around the new Augments we’ll be releasing with Patch 7.6.

3 New Tiers of Augments
Augment 83 (Item Rating 296, Prototype)

• These Augments are meant for players who don’t currently have Augments and find it too costly to obtain the Augments currently available. For this reason these Augments have an item rating lower than the current Superior Augment 77s.
• The tradeable schematic to craft these will drop from Propagator Core XR-53 on Story difficulty.
• Crafting these Augments will require Combined Crew Skill Materials, Processed Isotope Stabilizers, and Solid Resource Matrices.
• When deconstructing an Augment 83 there is a low chance to learn the schematic for Augment 86.

Augment 86 (Item Rating 302, Prototype)

• These Augments are a stepping stone to Advanced Augment 86 and will provide a slight power increase over the Superior Augment 77s.
• The tradeable schematic to craft these will drop from Propagator Core XR-53 on Veteran difficulty.
• The schematic can also be obtained at a low chance by deconstructing Augment 83.
• Crafting these Augments will require Combined Crew Skill Materials and materials crafted by Artifice, Biochem, and Cybertech.

Advanced Augment 86 (Item Rating 310, Artifact)

• These Augments are the new goal for players wanting the most power available.
• The schematic is only available by deconstructing Augment 86.
• Crafting these Augments will require Combined Crew Skill Materials and materials crafted by Artifice, Biochem, and Cybertech.

These Augments will require the same Augment Kit MK-11 as the current augments. Players will not need to acquire a new Augment Kit!

Adjustments to Material Inflow
To support the crafting of the new Augments we’ll be making some changes to how materials are obtained:

• Processed Isotope Stabilizer and Solid Resource Matrices will be purchaseable for Jawa Scraps from the Jawa Vendors in the Cartel Bazaar sections of the fleet.
  • Solid Resource Matrices can be purchased for 30 Scrap: Jawa Junk
  • Processed Isotope Stabilizers can be purchased for 20 Scrap: Assorted Droid Parts
• The cost of OEM-37 and RPM-13 will be reduced to 1800 Tech Fragments (down from 4000 Tech Fragments)
