Talk:Gold star

Always been wondering: What's exactly "by +1 level"? Is it as if you had gained a level when wearing this thing? So a Psion would gain more Intellect from the gold star and a Naturalist would get more Strength? And: if you un-equip, then re-equip the gold star, do these values change? --Alarion 12:37, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

That's a good question. I added to the page the obvious modifiers which are +5 to stats, +10 to max HP/PP. These are independent of class or level as far as I can tell. There might be modifiers to attack/defense/dodge/to-hit as well since I believe they are level dependent. These will have to be spaded.--Muhandes 13:18, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

It adds the equivalent of 1 level to everything. This includes visible and hidden stats. Cristiona

It might be more accurate to say that it adds the equivalent of an average 1 level, since there are differences between classes. I'll put a need spading tag, and with time I guess the hidden stats will be spaded. --Muhandes 14:08, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

At level 76 it increased my to-hit, dodge, offensive power and defensive power by 10. Anyone checking if it can affect the number of auras a psion can hold? Patojonas

This does *not* count as +1 level for purposes of skills which improve with character level btw(checked with Battle Armor). So I wouldn't expect it to apply to psion auras either, but worth trying...Kurg

Seems to me like the description is plainly misleading. It adds some constants to some skills, level has nothing to do with it. --Muhandes 08:23, 25 December 2010 (PST)

Also, to answer Pat - no, it doesn't count as +1 level for holding auras either(level 7 gadgeteer with a gold star, can hold only one aura) Kurg 01:52, 26 December 2010 (PST)
