INTRODUCTION

I wrote this guide because after playing a bit, I felt like the premium character bonuses offered were not worth much. This was especially true because I saw that my "elite" premium armor sucked compared to the premium armor sets purchasable at the beginning of the game.

It turns out that I was wrong. It's not a bad deal, considering you get +10 auction bays. The rest was icing.

If you plan on paying to play Star Legends, here's what I recommend to get you started:

Recommended Buys for 75p ($9.99)


30p: Upgrade Character #1 to a Premium Character (Lv1)
5p: Purchase Character Slot #2
5p: Give Character #2 +50 Inventory Slots
5p: Purchase Character Slot #3
5p: Give Character #3 +50 Inventory Slots:
+ 10p: +75 Stash Slots
------
60p

(15p Left Over)

All premium weapons and armor provide bonuses based on their PREFIX RANK and ITEM LEVEL.

Weapons with class prefixes may not be exclusive to that class.

ALL PREFIXES CAN BE FOUND IN MY ITEM COMPENDIUM (http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?36152-Star-Legends-Item-Compendium&p=406822&viewfull=1#post406822).

Some Enhancers are only available at "Advanced Enhancer" terminals. These terminals also sell standard enhancers at a reduced rate or for credits. Guild halls offer access to these.

ADVANCED ENHANCERS



4x Experience (30min): 30p (1.00min per p)
4x Experience ( 5min): 10p (0.5min per p)

PREMIUM CHARACTER PERKS

A premium character receives the following:



Lv 1/5/10/15 Armor Sets (Sleeves, Boots, Chest Armor)
1500 Credits (1550c Total) (50.00 c/p or 33.33 c/p)
100 Stimpacks (HP Potions) (125 Total)
100 Power Packs (MP Potions) (125 Total)
+50 Inventory Slots (100 Total)
+10 Auction Slots (11 Total)


The armor sets you get are better than the ones you can purchase separately. The armor value is equal to premium armor of the same level, but the bonuses are equal to the next level tier.

Ex: The Smuggler's GloTech level 15 equipment provides the same armor as the Rogue's LightWave level 15 equipment, but it also provides the stat bonuses as the Smuggler's LightWave level 20 equipment.

NOTE: Apparently, the boots don't follow the same pattern. You get Shooter's/Rascal's/Rascal's/Rogue's instead of Shooter's/Rascal's/Rogue's/Smuggler's. Bugged?



PREMIUM ITEM STAT PROGRESSION

If you load out on every premium weapon, and armor, this is what your stats would look like. Use the following table to judge how well you stack up against premium members.

(Implants were left out because the higher level ones are more situational. It's hard to determine what is best for a build.)

Keep in mind that only armor and certain weapons are exclusive to a class. Many of the weapons are not exclusive. Thus, if you want the +25 HP/MP of a "Veteran" weapon for your Operative, you can take it and forgo some of the +Hit and +Crit bonuses.

If you would like more data, I've put together a few charts and graphs (http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?36058-Weapon-amp-Armor-Linearity-with-respect-to-Platinum-Gear&p=405762#post405762) on how these items ramp up.

Not missing per se, but what about a comparison between platinum purchased equipment & dropped equipment?

Totally not "that guy" who doesn't think you did a great job, just thinking in terms of what real money gets you as opposed to taking what drops in the game.

Good work so far!

How about I post a baseline armor guide, per class and level? Weapons are more tricky because everyone has their own preferences.

It's your thread, take it where you want it to go. I just offered a suggestion.

I appreciate it. What I did was created a section that shows the total bonuses for prefixes at a given level. I didn't include weapon damage, though, because that depends on what people like to use for their class.

Looks great! I had been asking in game about armor since I tend to have bad luck with about drops, but people were less than helpful, thanks.

Also, I agree on the weapons, too many factors that impact their stats & perceived values.

Again, thanks for putting this together!

hey i just downloaded this game on my android phone today out of boredom. i entered the same email and password that i use to login pocket legends.

then i created a character named violentsaint because i remember i payed to reserve the name (didnt really pay, just downloaded apps for free plat then bought it)

anyway as soon as i created my character it asked if i wanted to pay 30p to upgrade my character to a premium character and i clicked purchase (mostly because i was intrested to see how you purchase platinum on android phones, i wasnt accualy going to buy it)

anyway as soon as i tapped the purchase button it came up 'purchased' and i was like WTF!

has it accualy charged me and if so how? i didnt enter any credit card info??

really confused... also when is this out on ipad? ( it runs really bad on my crappy LG phone)

thanks.

EDIT: did i get 30p to start off with or somthing because i reserved the name violentsaint?

Everyone who has purchased plat in pl since March got 30 free plat because of a misuderstanding/ confusion with unversial platinum.

btw: How you been? Haven't seen you in awhile.

ok thanks for that. so i guess i got the premium character upgrade for free then :P

yeah ive been alright. i guess not playing pl for half a year and coming back i was expecting massive changes, when to be honest nothing really had changed exept the release of balefort sewers. so i got bored quickly and stopped playing..

i downloaded star legends last night and messed around a bit. made a friend and lvled to 5 (then my phone battery died)

cant wait for it to come out on ipad. the games got alot of potential :)

Trolls or not, I do plan on making the guide shorter.

I will be putting the finishing touches on my Item Compendium tonight. It contains all the premium weapons and implants right now and a handful of armors. When I've added the remaining armor, I'll take away the weapons and armor lists here.
