Tbh, at least for me, the wailing augmenting
for weapons was never that bad. I never got 20+ number, but got some macc20, mab20 with a stack of +1.
My impression was that weapons augments were somehow evenly distributed. The problem with gear augments is that it appear to not to be evenly distributed, at least in +1 stones department, being more likely null > pet aug > enmity > perp > fast cast > macc > mab.
At least seems that the hierarchy of augments for my tries.
New weapons augments process managed to make horrible and complicated a not so bad process. Add this with worse weapons and worse augments than skirmish +2, i really dont see the point in working in anything in new skirmish aside the flute. I was even considering in far,ing new skirmish to sell stones, but i hardly doubt this will be more profitable than rakaznar skirmish, as not all stones have same price, so in practice it will result in a reduced chance to get good stuffs, and i doubt the demand will be high enough to consume all the offer produces, because there is not that many reason to work in new skirmish, at least atm.
