# 450 - 10%
# 474 - 25%
# 673 - 25%
# 765 - 20%
# 1086 - 20%
# 1157 - 15%
# 1644 - 15%
# 1557 - 10%
# 2211 - 10%
# 1571 - 5%
# 2232 - 5%
# 3170 - 5%
# 4503 - 5%
# 6397 - 5%
# 9088 - 5%
# 12910 - 5%
# 18340 - 5%
# 26054 - 5%
# 37013 - 5%

== Final rewards ==
Upon fully evolving the tear, you get:

There is a button (after zoning once it is fully evolved) in the description window to convert it back and forth between the above version and a [[Type 3 augmentations|Type 3 augmentation]] version:
