This is incorrect, IMO. Since Warforged characters do not need to spend 150gp upgrading their "natural" composite plating to masterwork quality prior to becoming magically enhanced, the direct implication is that all warforged bodies are considered to be naturally "masterwork" and should be able to benefit from least augment crystals. http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/4mst/ask

Then wouldn't that same express exception extend to augment crystals? A warforged doesn't need to be masterwork in order get the +1, so why must it be masterwork in order to get a least augment crystal? Adjudicating as the Sage says would unnecessarily penalize warforged characters in relation to those of other races for no apparent reason. If you are reading this, Andy, I would be pleased to hear your rationale.
