Star Legends Platinum Spending Guide

Star Legends Platinum Spending Guide by IBNobody

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

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 on how these items ramp up.
