This will be another LDoN tier - means you will be able to upgrade most of your LDoN bought Armor and Augments. Also some Jewelry. For this to work, you will have to have your old Armor obviously and you want to get the Augments off first (unless you hate them and favor losing them during the upgrade).
I strongly advice to check out all Armor PRIOR to combining them into new Armor. We will not reimburse 100 Armor/day because you forgot to check if you removed all Augments - we simply cannot do this, otherwise we wouldn't be able to reimburse your accidently deleted Epics

Since you also can upgrade some augs, it's critical to remove them safely or you have to buy them again if you want to upgrade. There are a couple of options available
o Just buy it again (duh)
o trade some AAs for Distillers
o Donate for Distillers
This zone does have a requirement for zoning in - 50 LDoN wins. Doesn't matter if Hard or Easy but that's the deal. If you don't have them yet and want to see the Burning Prince next week - here is your homework for the weekend

Tradeskills will be required for the combines and they are trivial at 300. These are for the ingredients only. The combined ingredients will be droppable and sellable in Bazaar. You still need a no-drop item from Solusek Tower, so you can't just upgrade your armor through the Bazaar.
The final combine which will result in the new armor and destroys your old armor in the process will be NO-FAIL however, so don't worry.
But it's about time we bring Tradeskills to use beside showing off on the Achievements page

Hopefully you enjoy the new zone as much as i enjoyed this on EQLive!
