Zodiac System

12 signs, each levelable 1 through 10, each with its own permanent combat effect. The catch: no sign can pull ahead of the others — they all advance together, tier by tier.

1What is it?

A second progression track built around all 12 zodiac signs at once. Each sign has exactly one effect, and its strength depends only on that sign's current level — never combined with any other sign's bonus.

12 signs

Aries through Pisces, each independently levelable from 1 to 10.

One effect each

Every sign has a single fixed effect type. Its value scales with the sign's own level, not cumulatively across levels.

Global tier gate

A sign can only advance past level N once every other sign is already at level N or higher.

Always on

Every unlocked effect applies automatically — no activation, no upkeep.

2The tier gate

This is the core rule that shapes how you build the whole system.

All 12 signs advance in lockstep. You cannot push one sign to level 5 while the rest sit at level 1 — a sign can only go from level N to N+1 once every one of the 12 signs (including itself) is already at level N or higher. Progress is always spread evenly across the full set.

3The 12 signs

Each sign's value shown is its effect at level 10 (max). Lower levels use a smaller version of the same effect — see the in-game @zodiac menu for every level's exact number.

LibraAll Damage+8%
ScorpioCritical Damage+20%
SagittariusLong-Range Damage+35%
CapricornHP/SP Recovery+60%
AquariusMagic Damage+20%
PiscesHealing Effectiveness+42%
Every effect type is unique to its sign and never stacks with another sign's effect — Libra's All Damage is the only one that combines with everything else, by design.

4Leveling cost

Every level-up costs three things: Zeny, Old Card Albums, and a material specific to that sign and level.

Zeny
200,000 × Lv²
Same formula for every sign. Level 10 costs 20,000,000 Zeny.
Old Card Album
1 → 30
Rises with level: 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 14, 18, 24, 30 at levels 1–10.
Sign material
~350 per level
A different, farmable Etc item per sign and level — never equipment, never from a mini-boss.
Every material is a normal Etc-type drop from a regular, fast-respawning monster — no mini-bosses, no equipment pieces, nothing that requires a rare farm.
