Be able to feed named items with augments to sentient weapons

[Bertum]

If a named item with an augment is feed to a Sentient Weapon, maybe have a warning appear: "Named item contains a regular augment! Are you sure you want to consume the named item?"

Could possibly get more sentient XP with augments fitted.

I think named quest rewards from Storm Horns and Wheloon and possibly others (event named items Crystal Cove etc), should also be able to be feed to Sentient weapons.

I think a less prone to accident method would be to …

1. Implement and item similar to the Filigree Removal tool you can purchase at vendors so players can simply destroy the augment
2. Implement a recipe at the Stone of Change that will destroy all augments slotted in a Named Item - similar to what was done when they upgraded an item and you could remake an old version to a new one
3. Add to the disjunction of Crafting the ability to put named items in with a disjunction that would only remove the augments.

This makes the removal of augments require a very conscious decision, thus avoiding the accidental "I clicked the wrong thing".

they did this so you can’t plug a ML 28 augment into a ML1 cheese named item, making it ML 28 for sentient xp purposes.

I get the reserve in their decision but it was lazy. As above, they needed to add another option which was an augment destroyer. Many named items drop with augments & folks have old useless gear with augments they would munch.

I don't think that much effort is required. As currently there isn't anything stopping someone from accidentally feeding their favorite non-augmented named items.

I think id prefer a message box saying: "You will earn 200 sentient experience. Do you want to consume your Purple Dragon Shield ?". As an example. This option could be disabled in the options menu.

Some of the things id like to feed would be epic items found in 3BC, which some come with augments, so aren't really modified.

If an augment destroy item could be bought for platinum, that wouldn't be a bad alternative.

This has something to do with hard coded
Don't worry it, they're rare
Just junk them and move on

Ok I heard a rumor as to exactly why you can't feed named items with augments to a sentient weapon...
