The brand-new Star-Collections will arrive in August. Star-Collections have two qualities: Legendary and Extreme. In addition to a more exquisite appearance, they have some unique features including: [Star-Constellations], [Can be Obtained Repeatedly], [Exclusive Number], [Exclusive Stats], [Custom Name], [Support Trading], [Security Lock], etc.

Star-Collections are incredibly rare and each server has a limited number of Star-Collections available. There will be no new Star-Collections generated once the current distribution is completed.

Star-Collection Features Info
