[[Category:Items]]
Mindstars are one-handed weapons with many unusual properties. Any character can wield a mindstar (or two), but making the most of them requires knowledge of the [[Mindstar_mastery_(category)|Mindstar Mastery]] talents. [[Summoner]]s and [[Oozemancer]]s begin with knowledge of this tree. Other classes may get it by purchasing the tree in [[Zigur]] (100 [[gold]] to buy it locked, or 750 gold to buy it unlocked), or by betraying an [[escorts|Alchemist escortee]] to the Ziguranth.

Unlike daggers, mindstars wielded in the "off" hand do not incur a damage penalty. However, at first the [[damage]] done by a mindstar as a weapon will be quite low. A tier 1 (mossy) mindstar has only 30% [[Willpower]] + 10% [[Cunning]] damage multipliers. Unlike other weapons, these multipliers increase on higher tier mindstars. Tier 2 (vined) mindstars have 35% Willpower + 15% Cunning, and so on up to tier 5, with 50% Willpower + 30% Cunning.

The [[Psiblades (talent)|Psiblades]] talent will multiply the mindstar's base damage multipliers by a factor of 1.3 to 1.8 or so (depending on talent level). With 5 points in Psiblades at 0.8 mastery, a tier 5 mindstar will have damage multipliers of 85% Willpower + 51% Cunning. (Compare to 100% Strength for most one-handed weapons, and remember that mindstars can be dual-wielded with no penalty.)

Mindstars can also be combined into [[item sets]], based on their [[egos]]:

Note that the Resonating, Harmonious, and Wyrm's mindstars are a little odd in that they don't form a set automatically. Wield the set-forming mindstar in one hand, a mindstar it can form a set with in the other, and use the set-forming mindstar. The two mindstars will become a matching set. They can be reactivated later to form a different set. (In some cases, like a Wyrm's paired by Harmonious and then paired to Flames, both sets will remain valid.)

Example set: http://i.imgur.com/qr3MV.png (Note that while the curses and set-forming ability have disappeared from this view, they are still present on the items.)

If you're not interested in dual-wielding mindstars, the set-forming ability of mindstars can be safely ignored.
