I want you guys to understand that tiers of weapons are not as important as it seems. So lets say a person has a Mortal Tier Saber and another has a God Tier Saber. The God Tier just has better damage and a few inherit weapon skills but the user had not mastered the saber as a weapon but the Mortal Tier had mastered his weapon. The Mortal tier has better chance of beating him because of skill and mastery.Potential is thing that cannot be measured so I will not use that as my base of my system.
Tier of All Weapons
Mortal Tier-These weapons are held by people in history who are normal and have not made any known contribution to history.This is does not mean they are weak weapons. They are not known. For example: A solider in King Author's army, his sword could be count as mortal tier but maybe his sword slayed a dragon and move up to demigod tier.
Demigod Tier- These weapons are held by people who have made major contributions to history and have impacted history in some way.For instance, Julius Caeser spades could be used because these were used in battles and he made contributions to history or King Author's sword.
Godly Tier-These weapons are used by gods.You know them and I will not try to list them. However, the user cannot handle them because of the past users power so they can only pull out 25% at the beginning.They will gain more power has they master the weapon. They should not be underestimated at any cost.
Primordial Tier- These weapons were wielded by beings whos names are not suppose to be mentioned. (You guys need to give me some gods name and weapons and tell me their history and how they come into play.) The users body cannot handle the strain of 10% at the beginning. However they are are few anomalies.
Stages of Power
They follow the same principle of power as the weapons tier.However, they are split into six stages .
Beginner
Novice
Intermediate
Master
True Master
Absolute.
The Power
The people of this world uses power of Ancient Qi. Everything becomes old, so they give off Ancient Qi.Even new born babies give off ancient qi because they are now aging. So, the people cultivate this qi because it helps to improve their weapons and themselves.
