- A slot has a level between 1 and 3. A level 3 can hold a level 3, 2 or 1. If your slot isn't a high enough level, then you can't put that high a level decoration.
- Attack, Affinity, Defense, Slot or health regen. Honestly i feel defense is the most worthless and useless one especially for a measly 10 points. And health regen too. I think affinity or slot upgrade are the best especially if your weapon has negative affinity you could augument it out, or already has good slots.

It’s time again to dive into yet another semi-secret mechanic of Monster Hunter World. Today we will be talking about augmentations for weapons. In order to augment, players must acquire a Warrior or Hero Streamstone from tempered Elder Dragon quests. Hunters have a 12% chance to obtain a Warrior Streamstone and a 3% chance to obtain a Hero Streamstone.

Extra Slot
When Affixing, it is possible to increase the number of slots on the base item by one by using the Extra Slot. When using the Extra Slot, the success rate of all Augments will be lowered by a certain percentage depending on the number of slots. An item can have a maximum of 8 Augments.
Slots | 2 Material | 3+ Material |
---|---|---|
0 → 1 | 100% | 100% |
1 → 2 | 85% | 90% |

Boosting Affix Success Rate
Same Name
When the base item and fodders are all the same item (same name), the Affix Success Rate is increased.With one fodder, the Affix Success Rate is multiplied by 1.1.With two or more fodders, the Affix Success Rate is multiplied by 1.15.Note that for this effect to apply, the base and fodders must all be the same item. If a single fodder is different, the effect does not apply.

Mastery
Mastery is an Augment that can either be synthesized or transferred; it currently appears in-game as Mastery I, II, and III. The presence of another Augment, Doom Break, can boost the transfer and synthesis rate of Mastery III by 20%.
Mastery can be synthesized by combining the same tiers of Might, Precision, and Casting or Toughness, Reflex, or Genius. For example, to synthesize Mastery I, the fodders must have Might I, Precision I, and Casting I present.

'Super' Augments
Certain Augments require a multi-step process to create; these are typically much more difficult to fuse than regular Augments due to their abnormally low success rates and the number of required materials, but they also give much greater stats than the average Augment.
Fusing a 'super' Augment requires two components: a Catalyst and a corresponding Augment.
Catalysts
Catalysts are Augments that are explicitly used as components in 'super' Augments. Each type of 'super' Augment requires four of a corresponding Catalyst type; the Catalyst in question is typically fused with lesser Augments that share a common theme, such as Factor Catalyst requiring all three types of Factors. Catalysts are always fused at a 10% base success rate.
Ability | Synthesis Materials | Success Rate | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Soul Catalyst | Elder Soul | Luther Soul | Gemini Soul | Apprentice Soul | Persona Soul | 10% |
Factor Catalyst | Yamato Factor | Mother Factor | Deus Factor | - | - | |
Reverie Catalyst | Elder Reverie | Luther Reverie | Gemini Reverie | Appregina Reverie | Persona Reverie |
Other Components
'Super' Augments require one other Augment to trigger the final synthesis. The Augment in question depends on the specific 'super' Augment; some require synthesis, while others don't.
Final Augment | Component | Synthesis | Success Rate | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Astral Soul | Soul of Darkness | N/A | - | ||
Aether Factor | Aether Soul | Any EP4 Soul | Any EP4 Soul | - | 10% |
Mana Reverie | Omega Memoria | Omega Reverie | Historia Soul | Fabula Soul |
Synthesis
To fuse a 'super' Augment, four of the corresponding Catalysts must be present as well as the corresponding component within the same recipe. The 'super' Augment will appear as a possible affix target if all conditions are met.
Augment | Materials | Success Rate | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Astral Soul | Soul of Darkness | Soul Catalyst | Soul Catalyst | Soul Catalyst | Soul Catalyst | 60% |
Aether Factor | Ether Soul | Factor Catalyst | Factor Catalyst | Factor Catalyst | Factor Catalyst | |
Mana Reverie | Omega Memoria | Reverie Catalyst | Reverie Catalyst | Reverie Catalyst | Reverie Catalyst |
Guardian Soul
Receptors
Receptors are rare Abilities that can be found on certain pieces of equipment. Receptors cannot be synthesized or transferred, but when used as a component in Affixing, it greatly enhances the transfer rate of other types of Abilities.
Soul Receptor
Soul Receptor is an Ability that can be used to boost the transfer rate of Soul-type Abilities. Soul Receptor can be found on certain weapons as an Augment Factor. When used as a component in Affixing, Soul Receptor boosts the transfer rate of all Soul-type abilities except for 'Di Soul' and Astral Soul to 100%. When transferred this way, Souls do not require multiple copies to enable transfer.
Soul Receptor can be used to transfer 'Di Soul' at a rate of 70%.
Soul Receptor can be used to transfer Astral Soul at a rate of 10%.
