Augments and Pet gear

[Haff_Ling]

My Iron Defender pet gear doesn't recognize the augments I put in the collar or the docent. I don't have anything else currently that has a pet and was wondering is it just the Arty pet or is this happening with other classes? This puts the kibosh on my Tempest Spine strength lever on Elite....

Try a LGS Strx3 collar.

I think LGS Ooze also used to work on pets, so your pet could have its' own pets, but not sure if it still does. Been awhile.

Edit: Nvm SSG nerfed LGS ooze collars for pets.

You can hit 75 str on any build, just have to have STR on swap equipment, and run a trash destiny

6 base (small race) + 0 tome + 2 ship + 21-22 enhancement (Sharn regular/minor artifact items) + 9-10 insightful (RL/Sharn items) + 4-5 quality + 4 alchemical (scroll of Tenser) + 2 profane + 1 exceptional + 5 morale (Primal Scream twist) + 16 Destiny (Primal Avatar 6 stats + 2 Spirit Boon + 8 Tree Form final stage) + 6 psionic (Gloves of Titan's Grip) + 2 Lasting pot + 2 Yugo pot
= 80-83

actually that's 75 with +8 tome, Sharn gear on swap and zero str in destiny, so.

if using 22 str artifact, might as well stuff it with some str filigrees.

It's not just Arti dogs. Augments used to work for pets, but were broken under the new and "improved" augment system. I thought I was going to improve my pet's Str augment from +8 to +12, and ended up just losing the +8.

I think the best you can do at the moment for Arti is a Stone Heart docent with +8 Str on it. A Druid pet can use the +20 Str Mail of the Moron out of KT.

For additional help hitting a Str requirement, you can swap on a Kindred Pendant for +4, and a sentient weapon or minor artifact with a 3-piece (fairly cheap on SXP) Cry of Battle set for another +8. And don't forget to have someone give the pet a Primal Scream. I think I had my wolf's Str able to reach into the 120s with most of the buffs and stuff; 75 should be in reach even without augments working.

Try a LGS Strx3 collar.

LGS augments don't work for pets, either. I wasted a whole lot of Large LGS ingredients crafting 2 collars that did literally nothing. LGS augments already didn't work for pets before they broke regular augments.

Has anyone heard anything about these issues getting fixed. I don't mean the green steel. It has been so long it is pretty obvious that will never be fixed. But the broken augments is relatively new and should be corrected in my opinion.

They both use the same augment interface now. Unless given a reason to think otherwise, I'm assuming normal augments became broken for the same reason LGS augments have been broken. So hopefully whatever fixes one will automatically also fix the other.

I very much doubt any work will be given to pets/summons/hires until they're ready to do ALL the work on pets/summons/hires

I just encountered this issue after crafting a collar and docent set. It's like the augment doesn't exist. This has been going on for a year? Why?

[btolson]

1.5 years later and I discover this for myself as well. Not even Rubies of Shock, etc will work in named collars. Hopefully it's on their radar to fix.
