Re: Balance opinions
Well, if path/cost increase to boosters is gone, I'm more inclined to try CB again.
Btw. When I played Tien Chi in a CB blitz, I had a problem with old celestial masters. They kept dying like flies, which was especially painful when the one I empowered to astral 3 (to forge expensive CB boosters) bited the dust. Then I played Tien Chi without CB and realised that masters dont start with old age most of the time.
Is it another change introduced by CB?

Re: Balance opinions
If so, it's probably unintended. More magic -> higher start age -> Celestial Masters start old.

Re: Balance opinions
Tsk tsk. My celestial masters didnt have more magic.  They were just old, all of them. |

Re: Balance opinions
I don't think anyone really understands how the age mechanics work .
Do the CBM Celestial Masters have a higher *average* age (which is the age displayed when you click on their fatigue in the recruitment screen)? It's possible that you were just unlucky.
Internal ALchemy is very cool but should be much cheaper in CBM, would be my suggestion.

FAQ, bottom.
As far as randomness in age goes, I think it varied up to 10% of maxage being added or subtracted from the listed starting age. Not sure on that, though. |

I think you must be confusing eras, CB has never (at least intentionally) added to celestial master age. |
