There are a variety of 40hdex augs, some wasteful vendor augs, a variety of infused and threaded augs at 36hdex, and a scattering of others above 32hdex, but this list should hold anything you actually want to invest any time in, the rest if youget it , use it til it's no longer useful right?

Starting out just get a buncha Resplendent Sulstone of Deftness for 1250 Remnant of Tranquility in Plane of Health (they sell back for about 50% and remnants are tradeable) and work your way up. these are 32hdex and nonlore. You can recycle the remnants for future alts as you upgrade your slot5s and sell these back, then don't have to farm or buy as many remnants in the future.

NEXT: Damage Augs, Special Slot 3 and 5's, and others often unknown
SOON: Free to Play Accounts- Non-Prestige Augs for slots 5 and 7, and armor for each archetype

I got . Gleaming Gem of Feshlak 100ac 19hdex Feshlak in ToV zone From Zlandicar Chest seems to be kind of rare drop
 
This is all fairly subjective and will vary depending on how you prioritize ac vs hps vs hDex vs hAgi (and vs hSta, if you’re into that). Like the earlier poster said, I recommend getting good at the advanced search feature on eqresource.com.
 
Just curious, if you had the time to get just about every slot full of Seaglass Curio would it be worth it? I mean if you're going for mainly heroic dex and it's 80 and it's not lore might as well right?

yes
 
@Tapout i just finished farming a full set and it took me almost a month. I didn’t do many missions though... I just killed nameds for non lore type 5s and sold them, then bought the dex ones
