Augment is an extra slot on equipment such as weapons and armor that can give the item to make an extra stat bonus available. Augments schematics are obtained through slicing crew missions. Once you obtain an augment's schematic through a slicing crew mission, you will have to craft the augment. You can then equip it in an item's augment slot. Different grades of Augments require different. Nov 16, 2015 An augment is an item modification and can be applied to an augment slot. Augments can be crafted by the Armormech, Armstech, and Synthweaving Crew Skills. 1 Armormech 2 Armstech 3 Synthweaving 4 See also Absorb augments - Absorption Rating/Power Shield augments - Shield Rating/Power Versatile augments - Mastery/Endurance Accuracy augments - Accuracy/Endurance Fortitude augments - Endurance.

Hey everyone, I am sure you all know by now that there is a new way to add augment slots to gear in 1.3. I am going to walk you through the process currently on PTS right now so you will be well prepared once 1.3 lands on the live servers.

What is happening to my current augmented gear?

Your current augment slots on existing gear will remain once patch 1.3 arrives. They will be converted to the appropriate tier, depending on the item level or the level of the augment, whichever is higher. So if you have a level 20 item with a level 49 augment inserted into it, it will be converted into a MK-6 augment slot since the augment is a Level 49 and therefore MK-6. This is a good opportunity to insert whatever gear with augment slots you have with L49 augments (green ones will do) so that they all get converted to MK-6 tier.

Can I still crit craft gear and get augment slots after 1.3?

Yes, you still can. Be warned that the augment slot you get post-1.3 with the crit crafting will have a tier corresponding to the item level. So post 1.3, it is not really worth your time to crit craft low level gear for augment slots.

Getting/Making the Augmentation kits(Armormech, Synthweaver, Armstech)

Only players with these crew skills can craft the augment kits. The schematics for these can be purchased at your respective trainers:

Once you have purchased the schematics, you can now craft it (armstech screenshot provided by Droxel of Harbinger)

Note: As of the latest update on the PTS (June 13), you also need 2x slicing components for MK-5 and MK-6 augment kits

You can see that in addition to your normal crafting mats, you will need augment slot components of the appropriate tier.

Keep in minding that these augment kits are tradeable.

Getting the Augmentation Slot Components

In theory, you should be able to RE any crafted item (i.e. crafted items that typically give you an augment slot when crit, not those that give you extra when crit) you crafted to get an augment slot component regardless of the quality. However, there seem to be some issues on the PTS with some crafted items not giving out components when RE’ed (i.e. War Hero Orange crafted shells were not giving out components when RE’ed). There is a thread on it.

The level of the item you RE determines the tier of the augment slot component you get.

Applying the augment slot onto your gear

Once you have the augment kit (either crafted yourself or purchased from the crafters), you can head to the item modification station.

There are two stations located on the Crew Skills section of the fleet, directly opposite the crew skill trainers.

Getting the augments themselves

How To Add Augment Slots Swtor Item

You get your augments the same way pre-1.3, except augments are now tiered like the augment slots. You can only augments into augment slots that are of the equal or higher tier. (i..e you can put a MK-5 augment into a MK-6 augment slot but you cannot put a MK-6 augment into a MK-5 augment slot).
