If you’ve reached the end of the upgrade tree for your master rank weapons in Iceborne, you’ll be able to augment your weapons, choosing specific stats to increase based on the number of slots. I've finally started to get the parts for my DB augments, and after Health Regen, I'm not sure if I should go with Affinity (2 slots) or Element (1 slot x2). Is it better to get the +10% Affinity or the +30x2 element damage for DBs?

What is Augmenting?

Augmenting is the act of further enhancing weapons and armor past their maximum refinement level. For weapons, augmenting allows you to infuse them with additional properties. Augmenting armor, on the other hand, raises their upgrade limit, allowing you to reach even higher defense values.

You will be able to augment equipment after completing the post-game quests Beyond the Blasting Scales and Thunderous Rumble in the Highlands. Clearing them allows you to take on threat level 2 and 3 investigations that randomly reward streamstones. These materials are quite rare, so you may need to run investigations several times to get the ones you need.

Types of Steamstones

Material	Description	How to Obtain
Streamstone Shard	Secondary material in augmenting rarity 6 weapons and rarity 1 to 5 armor	Clear threat level 1 investigations
Streamstone	Secondary material in augmenting rarity 7 weapons and rarity 6 to 7 armor	Clear threat level 2 investigations
Gleaming Streamstone	Secondary material in augmenting rarity 8 weapons and armor	Clear threat level 3 investigations
Sullied Streamstone	Become warrior’s steamstones after appraisal. Primary material in augmenting rarity 6 and 7 weapons.	Clear threat level 2 investigations
Shining Steamstone	Become hero’s streamstones after appraisal. Primary material in augmenting rarity 8 weapons.	Clear threat level 3 investigation

Augmenting Weapons

Augmenting weapons requires the most farming, as you will need either a warrior’s or hero’s streamstone specific to your weapon. For example, augmenting a rarity 8 great sword requires one hero’s streamstone: great sword.

The number of augments you can infuse your weapon with depends on its rarity. You can have up to three augments on rarity 6 weapons, two on rarity 7, and one on rarity 8.

Weapon augments cannot be removed or replaced once they have been applied. Be sure to choose those that suit your playstyle and skills.
