If I understand what you are saying / asking - the Star Beast is an entirely different set of gear.

The Blood Star pieces don't contribute to the Star Beast set and the Star Beast does not complete any portion of the Blood Star set.

His question was whether the arcane set has a set proc like 7/6 star beast(sb weapon+ 6/6 sb) has in the form of cosmic killer buff (200% dmg 60% dmg red)

Ah! Thank you for the clarification!

There is no Blood Star equivalent for the 'Cosmic Killer' feature of the Star Beast.

Blood Star set gives massive boosts for the 6/6 already, and the stats and procs of the weapons make it OP; so an additional boost for having 7/7 Blood Star is not necessary.

I do hope that once you try out the new Blood Star weapons (ideally with a full set of Blood Star gear to maximize your stats) you will agree :-)

Yes. The basic Blood Star weapon and all of its modifications are lost in the process of creating the Ascendant version.

Something that I like from kraken is that there are boss killers(gun, bow and blade) and mobs killers(staff, daggers and shield), I do.hope blood keep this, not necessarily in that order, but that they maintain the focus on different styles/targets.

Also, the others weapons are being tested/have a exact date/event to be released or will it take longer?

We do not have exact dates for the release of other Blood Star weapon types - but they are all currently in development and we do plan to release them in the future.

This initial suite of Blood Star weapons feature 'Nature' elemental damage and we plan a future suite to employ 'Shadow,' and yet a third to use 'Cosmic' elemental damage.

I also like when classes of weaponry have clear specialization - and I expect to see that play out in various ways with Blood Star :-)

If nature has been getting everything first, we should have nature jewels/gems come back. it seems nature is the only elemental getting any attention for the past few months now.

Another suite? Will shadow elemental variant only be in Blood dags/Bow? Will we see shadow blood chaks come at a later date? Same goes for cosmic. Confused if there will be three blood chak variants.

Also will there be a disclaimer before ascending blood weps about awakenings being reset?

May we have nature jewels/gems come back. Will help gearing new nature sets.

Indeed, elemental damage seems to be forgotten, that was said that they do work everywhere just like normal damage, then what's the difference? I think this was adressed too early...

"I'm excited about the new Bloodstar weapons! I can't wait to test them in the game!"

Thank's !
very informative.

Sell arc awakes 4m each

Will they actually nerf kraken or is this speculation? I feel like nerfing kraken would be kinda messed up why do that when they can strengthen future enemies ?

I don't see the weapon making up for 2500 main stat loss with full blood set. I'm hoping the amulet is op.

A new suite of extremely powerful "Blood Star" weaponry has been discovered.

The last of the star-borne shrapnel that followed Hedourah's comet to Arlor contained the mysterious Blood Star... a cosmic crystal of unknown power.
An errant shard of this Blood Star punched through the soil, through the ceilings and floors of the Elder Woods caverns and came to rest somewhere deep below.
The rocky cyst crated by this powerful meteor became known as the 'Fallen Forge' by Weaponsmiths of the realm, as it was the source of material for new and special weapons.
Risking life and limb, artisans harvested the Blood Star shards to create a powerful suite of weaponry!
Now that weaponry can be yours...
And if you dare to retread the Weaponsmiths' steps...
You can conquer the Fallen Forge and infuse these weapons with even more power!

The First 3
The Blood Star Chakram, Chain Sword and Orb will soon be available!
Daggers, Bow, Sword, Staff, Rifle, Shield, will be released at a later date.

Basic Blood Star Weapons
To be fair, there is nothing 'basic' about the Blood Star weapon!
These weapons offer exceptional stats and powerful procs (as you would expect).
However...
These Arcane weapons can also be crafted into bound versions that are more powerful, gain experience and increase stats!

Crafting the "Ascendant" Blood Star Weapons
After acquiring your new Blood Star Weapon, equip it and stop by Keane in Berylline Bay.
If you have completed the Lost Expedition quest line you will see a new conversation and quest option when speaking to Keane.
Take the quest. Complete the challenge. Receive your reward: a special crafting component.
Go to the token vendor Foreax and purchase the appropriate Recipe and get crafting.
Note: once you have completed Keane's quest you will be able to purchase the crafting component quest reward from Foreax.

"Ascendant" Blood Star Weapon Crafting Achievement
Unlock a new Achievement (150 AP) for crafting an Ascendant Blood Star weapon,
and earn a nifty new badge for your trouble...

Attachment 275341

Additional Notes

Blood Star Weapons Initial Availability

Excited to read your questions and comments!
