I'm looking at my gear right now and if we got the 25 star system only two slots would actually change.

magnus rage because it's a low level ring, and my shield because there's a slightly higher level one that can get 20 stars.

I don't really understand the people who keep claiming this will entirely affect our gearing. It only means we can get more stats from the higher stars. It doesn't cost nx to do this, but it will cost a lot of mesos and encourage use of higher level items.

I'm just wondering if you made the same complaints about upgrading other things in the past. Ex. cygnus gear to cra, and cra weapon to arcane weapon.

If you had perfect potentials it could have been quite expensive to do your cra weapon.

Depending on how they handle transposed tyrants adding 25 stars wouldn't ruin tyrants at all. Of course, you'd have to choose to make them untradable but you may not wish to do this.

If Nexon chose to release the 25 star system it would instantly make any tyrant gears completely trash, since it would make the new content equips like arcane umbra superior to the tyrants + u also get a set bonus. All the people that heavily invested to 15 star their Tyrant equips(the funded players that pay Nexon well) would all be extremely upset, probably enough to quit.

Just to dispel some nonsense,

Level 200 items only (22 stars):
145 all stat, 106 att (gloves are 113 attack)

15 star tyrants:
115 all stat, 150 attack

Take for example tyrant cape vs 22 star arcane cape:
With fully primed slots, and either 15 star for tyrant or 22 star for cape you will have:
Tyrant: 205 all stat, 180 attack
Arcane: 270 all stat, 112 attack

I'm fairly certain the stats on tyrant are still better if you managed to get it to 15. There are however more things to consider such as the set bonuses, sweetwater transpose, and higher potential tier.

If they did give us the 25 star system and decided to nerf the sweetwater system 22 star arcane will be better eventually due to the set bonuses. But it's a long difficult road to get all 4 (cape, shoe, glove, hat and you'd use weapon and shoulder either way) slots to 22.

Now on the other hand if they give us 25 star and don't ruin transposed sweetwater (ie, allowing us to transpose from a tyrant to a normal item and then getting 22 stars on that item) tyrants continue to be best in slot.

If there's a third option: they somehow manage to only nerf tyrants transposed to sweetwater (ie, we'd still be allowed to 22 star a transposed hat because it was never a tyrant) in this situation 4 set sw is going to be very competitive with arcane gear.

I haven't looked into flames and how they scale with level so that may be worth considering as well.

Star values were taken from here so if they're wrong I am sorry:

having all professions on one character is just going to make you more limited by fatigue. I don't really see any balance reason against it though.
