how set augments work?

As @PersonMan mentioned, set augments require three separate items. In your case, to obtain the Esoterica set, you’ll need to acquire the Cloak of the Mountain (from the Killing Time raid) three times and slot them onto three separate items. However, it’s important to note that any pre-existing set bonus will be overridden. For instance, if you’re currently using the Flamecleansed set (which consists of bracers, armor, and cloak), and you slot the set augment onto, let’s say, the wrist item/bracers, the Flamecleansed set will no longer work and will be replaced by the Esoterica set.

It's a pain if you don't raid all the time. It's mostly a raid rune dump option for people with too many laying around IMO.

Wait a second, please. This one hits too close to home and i felt the need to make a forum account to get to the murky bottom of the rabbit hole.
I'm working towards getting all the items to make an augment set, but the way i understood it was that you could use 3 different augments to make a set;
i.e.: what i had in mid was to make a QUICKBLADE, a LEGENDARY BULWARK and a PERFECT SILENCE, since i was under the impression that i would get the 3 enchantments.
Do i need 3 quickblade augments to get a measly "+15% Artifact bonus to Doublestrike and Doubleshot"? If so, that would put an end to Itemization Plan G and i should start preparation for Itemization Plan H.

Let's try to look at the silver lining: to me that just means less gear tetris, less raiding, less time spent chasing items, more time to do something else outside the game.
It's not all doom and gloom, unless you're a company trying to get me to play as much ddo as possible. But, really, what are the odds of that?

Oh, oops, I was talking "I wish", not "this is how it works". I was whining, not explaining.
How it works now is you need 3x of the exact same augment in different items for the set to activate. Placing a set-augment in an item will deactivate any natural set that item has. The wiki is unfortunately vague on how they work.

The set augments are unique sets so there's no gear with them baked in. (There's other "set" type slots for dino and vecna get but that's a different system).

Also that means that other than dragonlord (which they have already given me) the year of the dragon lost all meaning to me. The only other thing i was actually looking for was that-one-gift-which-is-going-to-probably-be-a-raider's-box-but-for-dragon-themed-raids that could have the glasses for the quickblade aug. Now i can stop holding my breath waiting for the end of august.

Huh? Adding three set augments to one item won't have any effect?
I was planning to add the same set augment to my Minor Artifact three times from now on.
I almost messed up again!
DDO has too many traps.

The set augments do exactly what they say: they overwrite all other set bonuses and add a 3-piece set bonus to the item.
