The Star Rank, or Prf (short for "Preference") Rank, is used to denote a weapon that can only be used by certain characters in the weapon rank system. For a list of these weapons, see List of Star Rank weapons.

Overview

Star Rank weapons are unique weapons that can typically only be wielded by select units, or perhaps only a single unit. Such a weapon may have a listed, standard weapon rank, though this rank often low in order to guarantee that its intended wielder can equip it upon acquisition. Certain such weapons designed for use by multiple units, however, have a high rank requirement. An example of the latter includes the Aum Staff in Shadow Dragon.

In TearRing Saga: Berwick Saga, Star Rank weapons work slightly differently. The weapon can be used by anyone with high enough level, but its "chosen" user will be able to use the weapon regardless of level. Weapons that lack visible rank are considered Rank 50 and as such are exclusive to their chosen wielder.
