Project: Gorgon is a 3D fantasy MMORPG (massively-multiplayer online role-playing game) that features an immersive experience that allows the player to forge their own path through exploration and discovery. We won't be guiding you through a world on rails, and as a result there are many hidden secrets awaiting discovery. Project: Gorgon also features an ambitious skill based leveling system that bucks the current trend of pre-determined classes, thus allowing the player to combine skills in order to create a truly unique playing experience.
The Project: Gorgon development team is led by industry veteran Eric Heimburg. Eric has over a decade of experience working as a Senior and Lead Engineer, Developer, Designer and Producer on successful games such as Asheron’s Call 1 and 2, Star Trek Online and other successful Massively Multiplayer Online Games.
In the past I have tried removing the +1 speed augment from pants and it has resulted in the destruction of the item. Someone recently bought a +1 leg speed augment from an npc and linked it in chat.
1. Has anyone tried removing a leg run speed augment post patch?
2. What gem did you use if you made it work?
It doesn't require a gem to undo an augment. Use the "Undo Augment" recipe, not "Extract Augment" (the latter of which does destroy the item and crystal in the process).
Not totally sure what you are trying to do / whether this is answering your question.
"When extracting an Augment from an item, you can now extract generic (non-skill-specific) powers by using any of the "desert gems": Turquoise, Sapphire, Emerald, Morganite, Sunstone, Tiger's Eye, Opal, Goshenite, Danburite, and Ruby. Previously these gems did nothing when used with extraction, so for now they are all assigned to generic-augment extraction. Eventually some of these gems will be needed for other things, though. So just to make it official, Sunstones and Goshenites are the permanent generic-augment-extraction gems. Some of the others may be reassigned to do other things in the relatively-distant future -- 3+ months from now."
Those gems were able to exract some of the generic mods in the past. You could not extract everything however - like run speed on pants previously.
They patched it so that the remove-mod does not break the item (or last I tested it). Try again with a lesser bead, because the mod in question is likely below level 60. Some mods only exist at specific levels, so it makes removing generic mods with desert gems tricky.
