If I read correctly, combines cannot be done if an item contains an augment. Does this apply to visible gear combines? In the upcoming Darkened Sea expansion on Phinny, for example, you can upgrade a T2 piece of gear to T3 by combining the T2 piece with a dropped item. Typically, I just ignore my purity augs in this case and let them poof. Does this mean we can no longer perform this combine and that we'll need to buy a Perfected Augmentation Distiller from the store to remove the purity aug before doing the combine?
Try right clicking on the aug, it should offer you the option to destroy the aug... It could be a left click, but I'm pretty sure it is right.
Yes, it means you cannot combine with a purity augment in the item. No, you do not have to buy anything. Any augment can be destroyed by right-clicking and using the menu provided.
