The hot zones (
current list) were created in order to offer additional exp to players, but also had a chance of mobs turning into "an unmasked changeling" which will drop an aug. When the zones are revered back to normal exp status the drops stay the same, so here's a list of augments you can go farm.
Kill any mob in the zone and eventually an unmasked changeling will pop (the mob changes into it at 50% HP) and drops these augs:
