Hey, i know that items have different maximal amount of augment slots. Most items can have 0-2 augments, but some can have 3 or even 4 (for example leather belt or old buckler*).

I'm saying this, because i tried to maximize slots in Aronax armor by reloading fight with Krampus, but i can't get more than 2 slots.
Can anyone confirm that it is possible to get 3 or 4 in that armor?
If it has standard max of 2 slots (and i think that's the case), it isn't so OP. It is very good armor, but rogue armor is very comparable (and i would argue it's even better) - because it gives bonus agility and luck which is pretty unique, but 1 less point of defense and 3 less points of magical defense.

*And now about old buckler - thanks to 4 possible slots for augments it simply outclass new shields, which cannot have augments at all (maybe it's a bug?).
Old buckler with 4 iron plates gives 12 defense! For comparison round shield gives 6 def and heather shield gives 8, but has bigger agility penalty. And who knows if we don't get better plates or other types of augments in the future - that's why upgrade slots are so important.

There is ofc another cool piece of equipment from the latest update - Blacktooth (Greymount's sword), which is currently best sword in the game. But i think it has one potential weakness - it probably isn't silver (like for example shadowstone weapons), so enemies with magical immunity might be invulnerable for this weapon (ofc you can always use bloodpoison in that case).
Has someone tested this and can confirm?

Anyway, it's a shame that there aren't any possible upgrades for weapons atm - but i advise to maximize potential slots nonetheless.
I know that equipment isn't the most important thing in this game, but i really like what is implemented so far and potential with all these options for the future. That's all.
