Augmented dyed equipment do not feature the cogs associated with most augmented items (they look identical to non-augmented versions). Disassembling augmented dyed items does not return the dye. Dying in unsafe PvP with this item drops a broken off-hand ascension crossbow - the dye, augmentor, and gizmos are lost. Weapon gizmos charged with perks can be used to enhance the weapon's abilities. As a one-handed off-hand slot item, the Augmented off-hand ascension crossbow (shadow) can hold 1 gizmo, allowing up to 2 perks.
