Beast Gear

**Beast Gear**, or also known as **Beast Equipment**, are equipment created from forging using beast core/crystals and other materials (beasts and etc). The beast crystals are located inside beasts as each beast forms a crystal inside itself. Every beast crystal depending what beast it had come from had a different use and you could try to figure it out from what the beast was like. For example, if a beast crystal was obtained from a large turtle-like creature then it would most likely a defensive item could be crafted. Maybe it could be turned into a shield or even a good piece of chest armour. Inside the crystal contained a power. As Each beast crystal contains a different amount of power and could be figured out from how powerful the beast was like. And for this classification of power the beast contains, a system was created known as Tier. For example, The weakest of intermediate beasts were at least 10 times stronger than a basic tier beast. And the item made from intermediate crystal will be better than the basic crystal. Of course, this would depend on the beast, for there were some beasts that were just easier to deal with than others no matter what tier they were at.

## History

The beast gear is actually the rediscovered ancient technique of forging that was once common during Magical era and the Beast crystals would be used to forge armour and weapons for knights. But later Humanity eventually closed all the Beast Nests, leading to the extermination of all the Magical Beasts due to the beasts being exist from earth and having no type of beast crystal to make from, the beast gears were forgotten by the time of Magicless era.

During Magicless era, the Beast Weapon were knowned as anti-altered weapon, as most Anti-Altered Weapons were just weapons that released an electric discharge. However, some Anti-Altered Weapons (that were just Beast weapons) were discovered like the Magical Beast fossils: in excavations. Despite how much time passed, they were still in good condition. They were simply weapons forged by ancient blacksmiths with Beast Crystals. They were purchased by rich people in auctions, but many were not aware of how much power they had. At last when the beasting process technique being forgotten, the Altered went exist. While the Anti-Altered weapon also had been forgotten.

Later during 27th century, the human race was attacked by the Dalki, the humans' technology advanced fast by replicating their technology through Richard Eno, with this advancement, the humans learned the ability to travel to other planets using portals. These planets would often contain different levels of beasts. The stronger the beast was the better weapon you could make out of it.

When the Earth had found a way to mix the beast crystal with Human weapons as the Dalki did with theirs, it was a turning point in the war. Beast weapons can enhance abilities. The higher the beast crystal used to make the weapon, the higher the power enhancement.

A new discovery was made with the beast crystal thanks to Richard Eno and that was the beast weapons. Human combining their abilities with powerful beast weapons was the true turning point in the war, but not many people remember this fact as they were too fascinated with the discovery of abilities that happened nearly at the same time.

Beast core was a small crystal located in a different part of the body depending on the beast. This could be used to either create a beast weapon and beast armour or even be sold for Credits. If the beast crystals couldn't be used to make a weapon, they would be used as an energy source instead.

Every beast crystal depending what beast it had come from had a different use and you could try to figure it out from what the beast was like. For example, if a beast crystal was obtained from a large turtle-like creature then it would most likely a defensive beast gear could be crafted. Maybe it could be turned into a shield or even a good piece of chest armour.

A Soul Weapon was different from a beast weapon as a beast weapon could be used by anyone.

At some point, power levels didn't matter too much in the wide universe. The attribute that high-level beast gear gave you was much more useful. It was more important how you used your ability in conjunction with the beast gear.

Some users would choose to focus on a set of beast armour that specialised in one area. They would do this to make up what they were lacking for, or to strengthen their strengths.

## Category

When the beast crystal forged into beast equipment they are usually categorised into three types;

* **Beast Weapon**
* **Beast Armor**
* **Beast Accessories, clothings and others**

The beast weapon is a attack type of equipment which is mainly focused on attacking the opponent, example; Gauntlet, Sword, Gun, Tonfa, Synthe etc.

The Beast Armor is a defence type of equipment which mainly focused on the defense of the user and also gives high stats than other equipments of same tier, example; Armor, Shield, Boot etc.

The other beast equipments are accessories and clothings, these gears doesn't give any stat boost to the user but it gives the user to access some power of the beast, example; Earring, Mask, Helmet, Cape, Ring etc.

The Armor Set is a set of armor which are used together to power up the set

## Tiers

Weapons were categorised into eight different levels depending on which beast core it was made with. Of course, this was based on beasts from planets that had already been discovered. There was sure to be other planets with stronger beasts and abilities that they had yet to find out about, that may be categorised above that. In the human world today, there were two known weapons of the Demon tier class.

So far, humans had discovered eight different types of beast crystals, and with it, eight different gear and equipment levels could be made. But later it was found out that their is a ninth tier which is beyond any other and was rare to come by. The nine tiers were as follow:

1. [Basic tier]
2. [Intermediate tier]
3. [Advanced tier]
4. [King tier]
5. [Emperor tier]
6. [Legendary tier]
7. [Demi-god tier]
8. [Demon tier]
9. [God Slayer tier]

Of course, the higher the tier, the stronger the beast needed to be killed to obtain it. At the same time, these tiers were even rarer.

Originally the Military's system of level division was actually based on the eight tier's of beast equipment. Let's use what we see in front of you as an example. If Quinn's boots enhancement type was speed, then a basic tier would give an ordinary person, as long as they could activate the beast gear, the same speed as a level one speed user.

Intermediate tier speed boots enhancement would give someone the speed of a level two user, and it would continue as you went up. This follows true for the most part until you get to the very top of beast equipment. So right now, if her boots are based on enhancing one's speed at emperor tier, she would have the same speed as a level 5 speed user. This is why beast equipment is so necessary. These rules don't apply to Demi-god and Demon tier equipment. They far surpass what we can even gauge as ordinary. Also, some equipment isn't designed to just enhance one area. Maybe the boots are partly power enhancers and don't fully focus on speed. So there are many variables.

It was quite rare for a piece of intermediate beast equipment to have an active skill.

Although some students had beast gear on, nearly no one had a full suit of beast gear with them since they were only first years. A couple of the school Generals have few King tier pieces but not at the Emperor level.

The higher the tier, the 10x stronger will the beast be compared to the previous tier. This made higher tier beast gear difficult to create, because of a scarcity of resources through mortal danger. The level of beast didn't generally mean how strong it was but how strong of a crystal was produced inside its body. There were some basic tiers stronger than others, and this was the same as you went up a tier.

Peoples abilities only went so far, apart from original abilities the ones that were known to the public went up to eight. But even beyond the level eight, there was a power difference between them all and the simple reason for that was beast crystals. The equipment that could be made from different beast crystals could heavily sway the favour of the fight to one person. Elemental beasts were rare to come by, just like humanoid ones.

## Forging

The Beast Crystal that are located inside beast are the main component for forging the beast equipment and as they were forged from it. These Crystals were quite versatile and could create several different weapons and armour, as you can decide what it will be best to turn from the beast itself, but If one didn’t know what beast it had come from, they would only be able to tell by inspecting certain patterns and shapes seen within the crystal could help decide what one would be best to be turned into.

Once this step was complete, the crystal would need to be melted down to the appropriate temperature, depending on what was to be made. The next step after was deciding the mould and finally mixing the melted beast core with the required metals. Cheap or expensive metals could be used but would affect the quality of the end result. Some weapons and pieces of armour only need one crystal. While also mixing metals with the beast crystal but putting cheap metals and mixing it in, it will only make the weapons’ durability low. With basic tier weapons and intermediate tier, you don’t have to worry so much. And The rest was down to the forger. Depending on the forger’s level, the quality and strength of the weapon or armour would be decided.

Usually after obtaining beast crystals you would have to take it to a beast weapons crafter/forger who would charge for the making of the item. Crystals could only be turned into one type of item which all had the same effect. The quality of the item created would depend on the crafter/forger, but if the item was destined to be a ring, a sword was unable to be crafted from the same type of crystal. For example, some beast equipment might have fire resistance if made from a beast from a hot planet or ice-resistant for one from a cold one.

Most forgers and tailors had a blueprint they would follow. These blueprints specified the techniques used and which materials needed to be mixed when creating weapons and armour. If asking for something that hadn't been made before, the client would have to ask someone at the expert designer level to custom make one for them, resulting in costly expenditures (provide materials, provide credits for the forger's equipment...etc). Top forgers can easily create beast gears with at least one active skill along with it. There are standard blueprints for forgers available online.

Under Demon-tier crystals, 3 lower tier crystals are usually needed to make a beast weapon. A chest piece to be made would require 3 crystals, 2 for the boots, 2 for the legs, and 3 for the shoulders. If including the 3 crystals for the gauntlets (weapon), it meant one would need a total of thirteen emperor-tier crystals to create a full beast gear set (without accessories).

The Materials that are needed to be added with the beast crystal are also the important factor in forging as it act as a binding agent between beast crystals, example Glathrium etc. The best thing about Sedron is that no other material needs to be mixed in with it other than the Beast Crystals. It's perfect in every way, as if it was a material that was meant to be made into beast weapons.

### Standard Forger Appearance

Usually, the forgers would be quite large and muscular in size due to all the hammering and lifting of metals they did all day. And with a built like a tank with muscles over muscles. With massive Qi premeated in the body.

#### Others

##### Accessories

Accessories, such as rings and earrings. With these, the beast usually had to be oddly specific, it felt like a dice roll if a person was to run into a beast crystal that could be used to create one of these.

* Mask
* Ring
* Earring
* Helmet
