Star Charts Starter Guide

After introducing the Star Charts system in our Riptide preview blog, we have compiled a short guide to assist you in maximizing its potential in the most efficient way. We hope it helps in taking your first steps with this new feature!

As Star Charts are a very flexible system that was made to adapt to your gameplay style, this guide is not an exhaustive one but rather a little help to get you started and find your own way. We are completely open to your suggestions and would love to hear your feedback and add your contributions here! Please feel free to post any discoveries you make or fantastic configurations you come up with. (Dedicated Forum Thread: Star Charts Discussion )

 

Your first step: Obtaining Star Charts

Star Charts can be obtained from Starglade Chests received by doing quests:

• Daily Quest: Preparing for War
• Instance Boss: Judgment- Azoth Drake

 

Once you have your own Star Chart, you can start working on it and using it to improve your stats. Enhancing you Star Charts is a step-by-step process you can approach in different ways. We recommend the following:

• First level up your Star Chart
• Then use the Horoscope feature
• When you like your attributes, perform Stargazing to increase Aptitude!

 

Leveling Up Star Charts:

Star Charts have 50 Levels, there is a slight increase in the EXP required between levels:

• Star Chart LV1-LV2 requires 6 Exp
• Star Chart LV2-LV3 requires 6 Exp
• Star Chart LV3-LV4 requires 7 Exp

Astral Infusion

                Similar to Devour, it uses other Star Charts or Astrobana Pearls to increase the power of a single Star Chart.

Where to Find Astrobana Pearls:

• Daily Quests: Raccoon Alliance Pact, Liu Soo's Plea and Stronghold Assault.
• Instance Boss: Judgment - Century Golden Toad
• If you are in a hurry, you can get them through our week-end Flash Charge Rewards and save some time!

Inheriting a Star Chart

• You can choose either to inherit your old Star Chart, or the new one.
• The result is a star chart which averages the aptitude of both charts: If you have a 15 aptitude star chart and a 0 aptitude star chart, you will get a 5 aptitude star chart out of inheriting.

                 

Using the Horoscope Feature

• Requires Nebula Dust Orbs
• Randomly refreshes the number and types of attributes
• Star Charts can give you up to 10 new attributes
• The more Astral Energy you have the better attributes you will get
• Performing Horoscope increases your Astral Energy

 

How to get Nebula Dust Orbs:

• Daily Quest: Strangeness in the Snow
• Instance Boss: Tyrant Prince Mushi
• Instance Boss: Belle Leun, the Mad Princess

About Astral Energy:

• Astral Energy has 10 Level. The required EXP required goes up between each level:
  • Astral Energy LV1 – LV2 Requires 50 Exp
  • Astral Energy LV2-LV3 Requires 250 Exp

 

Choosing Attributes:

• Star Chart Spirit and Penetration attributes are the most powerful!

Ultimate 10 Attributes for Magical characters: 2 Spirit; 2 Magical Penetration, 2 Magical Attack, 2 Magical Defense, and 2 Physical Defense.

Ultimate 10 Attributes for Physical Characters: 2 Spirit; 2 Physical Penetration; 2 Physical Attack, 2 Physical Defense, and 2 Magical Defense.

 

Stargazing:

• Requires Astrospira Pearls
• Improves Aptitude which determines the quality of attributes

 

Where to Find Astrospira Pearls:

• Daily Quests: Raccoon Alliance Pact, Heroic Warsong, and Search for Energy
• Instance Boss: Judgment - Blossom Succubus

 

Follow these simple steps and you’ll not only have a statistic, but also a visual proof of your Star Chart’s awesomeness. Just select your character or a fellow playmate to see their Star Chart flare and compare!
