SWTOR Augments Guide

  • Augments are a way of adding additional stats to your armor in Star Wars: The Old Republic. They are available to low level players, but aren’t really worth it, and are more recommended for level 75 players who are working on the hardest content in the game including Ranked PvP and Master Mode operations. Players who are not working on those two extremely difficult types of content really don’t need augments, however they can still increase your character’s stats and give you a boost in combat. In this video, we’ll be going over the different types of augments, how to augment your gear, and a basic over view of the cost-benefits of the different levels and tiers of augments available in the game.

    I've used a few of these, only really to give my inquisitor defense stats because I thought that it would make them interesting and give them a bit of a boost to taking damage.
    Unfortunately the price jump between the last two armour ratings are stupid and it costs half a billion credits on the gtn.

    • @Lucasaurios
      @Lucasaurios Před 3 lety +13

      just buy the blue 73 ones, getting a full set of blues is pretty much what it costs to get a single purple 74 and the stat difference in total is like 100 less of any tertiary stat so its really not a bad option.

    • @spwicks1980
      @spwicks1980 Před 3 lety +1

      Purples arent that hard to get but you need several alts - slicing and scavenging is key. You can grind embers by running Off the Radar all the time with a level 50 comp. You'll get tons of grade 11 crafting missions, which you should run with level 50 comps. When they crit they give between 1 and at least 6 embers. I got about 50-60 a week doing this and breaking gear from running tc each day with a few characters. It'll take a few weeks to get the stuff together but running four to five guilded alts doing a bit of grinding here and there will soon get you what you need. Dont both with golds unless you are a real sweaty pvper :P

    @coginktattoos Před 3 lety +3

    Great video! I personally use augments on all of my toons starting around lvl 10 - 20. I don't make new ones every time I can though. I'll use lvl 14 augs till I'm in my 30's. Then I'll make new ones. Then again in my 40s, 50s, etc. Granted I've been playing since launch & I have master craftsman for all crafts. So I craft them for my other toons. Needed? No. Useful & helpful? Yes. Can never have too much power. 😁

  • @NicoleMay316
    @NicoleMay316 Před 3 lety +2

    Blue augs: for tertiary stats. Accuracy, alacrity, crit. (looking at dps). I feel everyone can get at least a set of blue augs.
    Purple augs: If you run a lot of HM+ ops, MM fps, ranked PVP, get these.
    Gold augs: For flexing and high ranking PVPers.
    I still plan on getting Gold Augs for my main and secondary. Purples on the rest. I'm a stat wh0re. I enjoy pushing my stats to the limits.
    Those gold augs should 100% be easier tho. If you aren't running ranked pvp or MM ops, you need 210k tech frags or 1bil credits for the mats. (Can be better to just buy the aug from GTN).

    To be fair I run a lot of content without augments, including master mode flashpoints. The only reason for you to get them is to try to do HM/MM operations and ranked pvp. If you enjoy unranked pvp, you don't need them.

  • @TheGreater-ScopeVillain

    Hey Swtorista! I have an issue regarding combat and abilities that I was hoping you could answer for me. I am a first-time player who just recently downloaded SWTOR and is really enjoying it so far, but I've been having some trouble with my skills/abilities that has rendered me unable to progress any further:
    At the very beginning of the Sith Inquisitor storyline, on the way to Spindrall's tomb, there is a side mission that requires you to kill a bunch of Tomb Looters. However, when I go to face them, I find that all but one of my abilities are marked in red and therefore unusable. Given that this leaves me physically unable to fight them, a Level 3 noob like me is swiftly cut down. When I respawn by the safety of the medical droid back in the Valley of the Dark Lords, I find that my abilities are no longer marked in red and I think: _"Oh they're alright now, I'll just go back down and fight them again,"_ but when I do go back into the tomb, my abilities are suddenly all marked in red again, leading to a repeat performance of me being trapped with no way to fight back and being unceremoniously slaughtered by an unlikely alliance of Tomb Looters and k'lor'slugs.
    Does this issue have anything to do with the global cooldown time? Because no matter how long I wait, my abilities don't seem to want to regenerate. I know that I must be missing something, but I have no idea what exactly. So, about these infernal red-marked abilities, if you would be able to explain what exactly has happened, what caused it to happen, and how I can avoid it/get out of it in the future, I would *_very much_* appreciate it.

    • @Swtorista
      @Swtorista  Před 3 lety

      I'm very confused and not sure what you are talking about so here is my guesses
      You must have an enemy targeted to use many abilities. Use tab key to target
      You must have an enemy targeted and be within range for many attacks you need to be quite close
      You need to have a weapon equipped and ideally the right weapon
      I am guessing it is one of those three. If you figure anything out leave me a new comment! (I won't see replies to this one easily)
