so I have been playing a bit of PSO lately and I know that this game was somewhat inspired by that game in a few ways, and these weapons were a small part of PSO

but yeah, the "Awakening" System for these new ones - you could get your BRAND NEW, PROPERLY BALANCED, weapon from say, boss tokens, and before you could fully unlock its power/upgrade it to the next level, you'd have to kill 1,000 monsters with it. (In PSO it may have even been 10,000?) You then could bring it to a certain area to have it upgraded into its 5* form.

this system would only apply to the new weapons, naturally, and not old weapons. An awoken Divine Avenger would be ridiculous. THAT WOULD BE BAD. Awakening NewSwordX to be able to craft it to the 4* version, though, with no actual strength buffs to it, is what I am suggesting.

I'm not asking for some sort of god-weapon or something stronger than everything else, but as a bonus little thing. It could tie into whatever storyline element happening, too. Maybe buy the 3* for tokens, and awaken it before crafting it to 4* then AGAIN for the 5* versions.

I am not asking to awaken existing weapons/make existing weapons stronger with this system. I am suggesting this as an entirely new system (in place of/to unlock crafting options) for entirely new weapons.
