Recently I’ve been in Fortress Mechanotus raising two factions for Type 3 SoF Augs at one time, Brownie Rebels and Ak’Anon Strike Force V.

First, get SEVEN Gearing Up quests at one time from Tabazin Gearflinger at location 93 x -1475. He is hidden behind the tent with Plink Squichbolt in it to the left after you zone in. As you complete these quests you will raise your Ak’Anon Strike Force V faction and gain experience.

Next, eliminate the steamwork mobs until your eyes bleed. Killing them will raise your Brownie Rebels faction. You should find a bunch of no drop items off the steamwork mobs. The ones you need for the Gearing Up quests that you accepted are as follows:

Sheet of Steel
Hex Bolt
Spool of Fine Wire
Steel Wire
Oil Can
Grease Tin
Small Coil Spring
Large hex Bolt
Micro-Cog
Steel Beam
Steamwork Powersouce

Finally, if an item is used in multiple quests turning in one of those items will update all of the quests that use that item.  So it is most beneficial to get another quest immediately after finishing one even if you have more items to turn in.

Over on JhetBhlak.com I’ve added a Type 3 augment chart for the augments released during the Secrets of Faydwer expansion. The chart is broken down by class and includes the augment name, vendor purchased from, zone purchased in and the faction the vendor is on.

When you select an augment there is also information on how to increase the faction so you can purchase that particular aug. You will need to be Ally to purchase the augments from the vendors.

If you find any errors on the chart, feel free to leave comments here so I can update it.

I have not confirmed this yet but it looks like the Hotzone Aug Drop for Riftseeker’s Sanctum is called a Frozen Pyrilen Eye with stats of 65 to hp/mana and 1 heroic charisma. As soon as I can get to RSS and take a picture I’ll put it up.

Now this augment is worthwhile for tanks. The Sunderrock Springs Hotzone Drop is called a Petrified Bladefin Eye. It has a required level of 65, AC 18, hp 50 and 1 heroic stat to both intelligence and wisdom. And this aug fits in both 7 and 8 slots.

The Plane of Storms Hotzone Drop (as reported by Clafin) is an augment called Eye of the Storm. Required level of 60 and 45 to hp/mana/end.

It looks like there may be two Hotzone Drops (as reported by Clafin) for Blackfeather Roost. The first one is called a Fossilized Griffon Eye, 35 hp/mana, 5 to all saves and a required level of 55. The second drop is a Crystallized Griffon Eye. I’m not sure if this is really a Hot Zone Drop because it has a required level of 48 and recommended level of 55 (30 mana/end).

Blackfeather Roost Hotzone Drop 2

The Pickled Froglok Eye drops from the Sebilis Hot Zone. The stats are 30 to hp/mana/end and 5 to disease and poison resists. It has a required level of 50.

The Hot Zone Drop for Feerrott is a Fossilized Tae Ew Eye. A 10 hp/mana/end  type 7 aug with a required level of 25.

The Wakening Lands Hot Zone Drop is a Petrified Holgresh Eye. It’s required 45, 25 mana/end and 5 to all stats. Mine dropped for me off the giants by one of the zonelines. I didnt see any other special drops and was there for a few levels.
