Looks like the flagging process isnt working with the new epic type.
I only tested with going from 77 to 78, but I got a blank response from the LUW when I used the new aug, but it worked fine when I converted it back to the original aug. Chars name is Kevice if you want to look at logs. Time stamp was 11:51 to 11:54 is MST.

Seems to be a similiar issue:
Tried to give my epic augment 7.1 and Charged Veeshan Scale of Power to Epic Vendor (EV) in ToV (Ranger char->Lagornson).
But EV gave it back to me. I had to change it back to 7.0 to have EV accept the aug and scale in order to progress to 8.0.
After that I could change it back to 8.1.
As I used 2 Ranger Epic Modificatioon Elements in this progress I guess I have to farm more elements in Qvic ....
