There is no reason when creating a named set augment that the augment should not become restricted to the type of item it can be inserted into based on the type of item used to create it. So if you sacrifice the Part of the Family armour to create an augment then that augment would only be usable on another piece of armour, and you would always need Part of the Family on armour to get the set bonus. Its less of an issue with sets such as Feywild where all but goggles have items for each of the sets but would probably make sense to keep it consistent as well as preventing the use of goggles for Feywild named sets.
Part of The Family Armour plus Augment ---> Part of The Family Armour Augment
Part of The Family Necklace plus Augment ---> Part of The Family Necklace Augment
Part of The Family Gloves plus Augment ---> Part of The Family Gloves Augment
I had been thinking for some time that there needed to be a way to transfer named item bonuses to items which did not have them, and every time a new update came out with shinny new gear without named set bonuses on the thought came again. There is a lot of nice gear in this game that just sits in my bank because it is not part of a set and the set bonuses are just too nice to miss out on. I should not be using level15 armour at level 20-28 but I do because the set bonus is just too nice and most of the gear in epics is old and out of date.
