Its not a problem. Its just pointless. The first relevant soul on the whole tree is the True Tiger or Dragon.
From a super pointless soul (Hongmoon 1) to a pointless soul (Cosmic 5) you need to waste :
23 blackstone
3 sacred vial
840 soulstone crystal
210 moonstone crystal
840 sacred crystal
210 elysian crystal
330 gold
So there are 2 choice : either you buy the mastery bundle (nc want you to do this) or you flush all the mats down in toilet. And you still nowhere, because you will need :
55 sacred vial
34 blackstone
49 silver scale
2800 soulstone crystal
700 moonstone crystal
2800 sacred crystal
700 elysian crystal
1100 gold
At this point you are at a relevant point, at True Tiger or Dragon.. Still not True Bright or Everspark, or the new stuff. And its only 1 equip from 13.
