==Reward== As soon as you zone into any of the instances the Abacus below appears in your inventory. You can also get it anytime from [[Distribution Facilitator XCV]] in the Plane of Knowledge. [[Image:PlatinumClockworkAbacus.png|left|thumb|250px]] [[Image:PlatinumPlatedWormPinionGearModelXI.png|right|thumb|350px]] Right click on the Abacus in an inventory slot to receive an augmentation. Note that the aug gets better the more giants you have killed. On September 15, 2009, a patch changed the reward, except the final reward remains the same. The one pictured right was what you got if you had killed all mobs up to and including Grel Strongboom before the patch. You can hail the [[Distribution Facilitator XCV]] at any time to get a new Abacus, if you kill more mobs and want to get the improved aug. You have to destroy the old aug to get a new improved one. It also works anytime you want to replace the aug. ===Removing the aug=== You do not have to spend thousands of plats to safely remove the aug, despite what the "Item information" on it says. You can just destroy it and get another anytime. <blockquote>"Like all of the other "clicky" augs, you can spend ten platinum to destroy your existing one and get a new one from the abacus. This isn't an exploit and hasn't been since they were introduced last year." - [http://forums.station.sony.com/eq/posts/list.m?start=345&topic_id=154308 Aristo, EQ Designer]</blockquote>. ===Raid vs. Group=== <blockquote>"The scaling is a little bit odd between raid and group. There are 19 events but 20 augs, so both paths will actually "skip" a model at some point along their progression. For all but the very earliest few events, the group reward for beating an event will remain at least one model higher than the raid reward for beating the same event." - [http://forums.station.sony.com/eq/posts/list.m?start=0&topic_id=155182& Aristo, EQ Designer]</blockquote> Note that since Aristo wrote that, he amended it to say: <blockquote>"I was mistaken at the time I wrote that. The "jump" for group rewards isn't as early as I thought it was." - [http://forums.station.sony.com/eq/posts/list.m?start=0&topic_id=155182& Aristo, EQ Designer]</blockquote> There are 19 giants, a raid gets +1 for full completion so the reward jumps from XVIII to XX. Doing it as a group gets +1 just for doing the event so skips I. ===Reward images=== Reward at various stages (Note that SOE changed some of them so that they are closer to the final reward): <gallery> Image:PlatinumPlatedWormPinionGearModelIII.png|Reward for killing 3 giants Image:PlatinumPlatedWormPinionGearModelXI.png|Reward for killing 11 giants Image:PlatinumPlatedWormPinionGearModelXII.png|Reward for killing 12 giants Image:PlatinumPlatedWormPinionGearModelXIII.png|Reward for killing 13 giants Image:PlatinumPlatedWormPinionGearModelXX.png|Final reward for killing them all </gallery> ===Lore Group: Platinum Gear=== The description on the augmentation says "Lore Group: Platinum Gear". This means you can only have one of the augs. You can not, for example, have the Platinum Plated Worm Pinion Gear Model III, then go on and kill another giant and have both Model III and Model IV. If you have one of the augs, you must destroy it before you can get another. While you can have both an augmentation and an abacus at the same time, clicking the abacus will give you a message that you can't have more than one Lore item, the abacus will disappear and you will still have the same aug. So if you have one of the augs, you must destroy it to get a more advanced one after you have killed more giants. The Abacus should always give you the most advanced aug you are entitled to. Luckily, you can always get another abacus at any time.
