Orb of Augmentation Guide

A magic item has up to one prefix and one suffix. A magic item with only either a prefix or suffix property can have a second property of the missing type added to it by using an Orb of Augmentation. The affixes can be rerolled with an  Orb of Alteration.

You can upgrade a normal item to a magic item using an  Orb of Transmutation. A magic item can be upgraded into a rare item using a  Regal Orb(It will retain its current affixes and one new affix will be added).

An Orb of Augmentation is a currency item that can be used to enhance a piece of magic equipment with an additional random affix. This can only be used on an item with one affix, since magic items can have at most one prefix and one suffix. Orbs of Augmentation are commonly and frequently used by all players, often in conjunction with an Orb of Transmutation and Orbs of Alteration. At low levels or in races, they may be used to quickly craft useful magic items before stronger rare items can be found to replace them. They are also used on strongboxes to potentially improve the items dropped. At high levels, Orbs of Augmentation are used in conjunction with Orbs of Alteration to craft magic items with top-tier affixes as the first step in a long crafting process to produce a high-end rare item. They are also used to craft desirable affixes on maps. Can be used to purchase certain low-level magic items directly from vendors. Used for a very large number of crafting bench recipes.
