Utilizing Instrument Augs

Instrument augs are a neat idea, but I do not think the idea has really been fully developed. I think there should be more instrument augs added to give a little bit of variety to instruments. I think maybe a few mid level and high level quests to obtain these augs might be fun and might make filling that type 6 slot semi useful.

Just some quick ideas for what augs we may see would be pretty basic but helpful effects such as:
Stun resistance
Mind shield
Saves
Flowing thought
Recovery
Etc
HP/Mana

The very high end aug quest may even add to the instrument modifier itself, say .1 or .2 to the instrument it is currently on.

Really, the effects don't have to be very powerful, I just wanted a little more options when choosing to aug an instrument. The reason I wouldn't find this unbalancing is the fact that I actually use a real instrument maybe 10% of the time I play my bard. I think giving bards useful augs for their instruments may increase the usage of them outside of kiting.

A few bards have also suggested to me that instrument augs should be able to go on any item with an instrument mod. This may not work out so well with the item already having an aug slot, but I think maybe items with instrument mods on them that are range equipable (and otherwise do not have a slot) might have a type 6 slot added to them. If this would be too unbalancing, then that is understable, just wanted to throw it out there.

So, in short, I would like to see a few more quests spread out throughout the tiers for more instrument augs to give our instruments a more unique feel.

Edit: Instrument augs are already in game, I just want more of them, and more useful effects on them.
 
I like this idea alot. Being a musician in RL, I have a ton of different pieces of equipment for my setup, and I mix and match according to my needs. Would love to be able to do that same thing here. Not looking for the UB3R LU73 - just the ability to personally customize what my stuff can do. Don't know if the code will support it, but it would be nice :)
 
Agree. The bard augment quest line should be expanded to make a psedo-epic. Augments are a way to make instruments more used than the current situation of not much at all.
 
Also could be used to keep instrument progression without taking up raid drops. Apply quested augment of .1 percussion mod to existing instrument (any kind) to get an added .1 percussion mod when using instrument. Increases existing mod or compliments a different mod (if you desire :what:). No need for separate augment slots per instrument type or an all around all instrument +mod
 
or to include it in raid progression add rare quest drops to the trash nearest to names in the zones that want instrument progression
 
my mark of the warsinger aug Poof'd from my elds drum like a year ago .. asked around and
i think belo had his poof about same time, he'd peittioned and got back
