Superior variants can only be upgraded to the (null) variant of the next Class up. The ordered progression of upgrades, starting with the (null) Common is as follows: * Common (null) * Common Enhanced * Common Superior * Uncommon (null) * Uncommon Enhanced * Uncommon Superior * Rare (null) * Rare Enhanced * Rare Superior Players must combine quantities of the same Class-Variant Augment, along with a base amount of 500 Energy, in order to produce 1 same Family Augment of the next Class-Variant tier up. The necessary quantities for each level of upgrade is as follows:

Class	Variant	Quantity Required to Upgrade to next Variant-Class	Energy Required to Upgrade
Common	(null)	2	500
Common	Enhanced	2	500
Common	Superior	3	500
Uncommon	(null)	2	500
Uncommon	Enhanced	2	500
Uncommon	Superior	4	500
Rare	(null)	2	500
Rare	Enhanced	2	500
Rare	Superior

Genesis and summoned Augments cannot be upgraded.
