Star System

Star System

Intro

Players on AstRO shall equip Stars and wield their powers to defeat fearsome foes. But the Stars by themselves won't do much, players must acquire and customize their stars with Star Aspects, giving powerful attributes and abilities to their Stars. ⭐️⚔️

The constant movement and clash of Constellations in the sky often causes a fine dust to fall in small quantities on Rune-Midgarts. Players may find this Meteorite Dust accumulated by monsters and can use it to create and upgrade Star Aspects to increase the power and tier of their Stars, enabling powerful combos and modifications to their stats and skills. 🌌✨

The Star System is a custom system for AstRO that overwrites the old Shadow System. It focuses on progressing the player through increasing their attributes along with the natural progression of the game.

Where To Start

To find the NPCs required to use the Star System, players just need to head to the Zodiac Palace via the Warper -> Special Areas -> Zodiac Palace, or by simply heading to the portal east of the main Prontera square.
