If you take a look at the weapons and armours list youll find a lot of alchemy paths that only get up to 3 or 4 star. There is some cool stuff there that has the potential to be a cool 5 star weapon so why dont they? I think that the reason OOO made this things to get only to a low level was so you had to switch to other weapon for higher tiers and because gettin some of this stuff to 5 star would be useless because other weapons have already their properties. So heres a list:
Firecracker, Cold Snap and Static Flash
Many people want these bombs to be upgraded and some others dont. The reason why some poeple think this would be a bad idea is because theyll overshadow vaporizers. But vaporizers grant you a status in the bag, while these bombs just a chance. These bombs are focused on damage rather than on status. Others say that it wold make no sense since firecracker and friends are modified proto bombs, but this doesnt mean they arent open to improvement.
Cautery Sword
I know this sword is a joke. Its a dead end alchemy path. My first armour was a jelly mail, my first sword was a slime slasher and my favourite monsters are jellies. They should make this sword go all the way up to 5 star, it could look like a combuster but with the glowing middle pink, and it could me more threatening against jellies because right now a nightblade cause more damage to a jelly than a cautery sword.
Ionized Salt Bomb and Radiant Sun shards
It has already a long range so just make the 5 star version bullets ricochet.
Blizzbeaker, Surge Breaker and Blazebreak
These are sets of armours that are specifically used to resist their respective statuses. There are already armours with much better resistance to these statuses so why would they make them reach 5 star? Besides they look really cool they could add them some abilities. I came with this idea: lets take blazebreak for example, its ability would be Damage bonus against burning enemies: low. So if an enemy is on fire you deal more damage when you attack him. Its just an idea.
Winmillion
A 5 star winmillion why not?
Searing and Static Edge
Maybe making 5 star versions of this sword would make Combuster and Voltedge obsolete, but there are ways to balance them so they can be at the same level. Making searing and static upgrades deal less damage than combuster and voltedge would be a good way. But if we cant get this by any means at least give us the weapons that are already there. Fire and Shock Mecha knights use Static and Searing edge, give us the weapons that the other mecha knights have:

The Ghost
Ghosts in tier 3 use gran fausts but in tier 1 and 2 they use weapon that resemble a striker. We should be able to get that sword and it could work exactly like the fang of vog, a three hit combo with the same charge attack that can either inflict curse on the enemy or on yourself. Also they wear a cool armour, i would love to wear that skull helmet it looks awesome.
Awesome Vitasuit (Name still in work)
Why would someone choose to upgrade their solid cobalt armour to a vitatuit deluxe if it gets nowhere. Make an awesome vitasuit.
If you know about other weapon or armour that should get improved plz let me know and i will add it to the list, also i want to know if you approve this idea and if you dont which weapon and why? Thanks :)
I'd agree with some, but not all. For now I'd be satisfied with 5* versions of ALL alchemy paths that stop at 4*, especially since it wouldn't be too much work for them to do... Creating (almost) completely new alchemy lines for items that stop at 3* or earlier might create balance issues or make people rage that their stuff is now obsolete. Plus, it requires much more time to do, which I'd prefer they spend on new content :/
