100 Copper Coins = 1 Bronze Coin
100 Bronze Coins = 1 Silver Coin

1 star to 9 star beast masters, with each star divided into 4 minor levels, namely low, intermediate, advanced and peak. Starting from 5 stars, beast tamers were called—
5 star - commander
6 star - general
7 star - King
8 star - Emperor
9 star - Monarch
Same for Beasts. The only difference is there are 10 star Beast, namely God-Beasts.

Soul rank:
This was a measure of the strength of one's soul. It decided how many beasts a Beast Master could tame in maximum and how much ability he could share with their beasts. There were 10 soul ranks, from weakest to strongest—Common, Uncommon, Rare, Super Rare, Epic, Legendary, Mythical, Transcendent, Divine and Eternal. With a formula deciding how many beasts they could tame at maximum, that is, (2x+5), with common having a value of x=1.
Common - 7
Uncommon - 9
Rare - 11
Super Rare - 13
Epic - 15
Legendary - 17
Mythical - 19
Transcendent - 21
Divine - 23
Eternal - 25
But there is another perk to Soul Rank.
The number of abilities they can use of each beast they have contracted.
With a common rank only one shared ability, and another ability is added with each higher rank.
That is—
Common[1], Uncommon[2], Rare[3]... Legendary[6], Mythical[7]...Eternal[10].
#
There are four levels of bond. Everyone starts at the lowest level with their newly contracted beasts.
1. Chain Bond (Lowest)
Forced subjugation; beast obeys out of fear and forced contract clause.
Stable when beasts are of low★, but prone to rebellion as they grow stronger and the bond has not improved.
Growth is stunted; bottlenecks are harder to overcome.
2. Blood Bond (Intermediate)
Forms when beast trusts the tamer completely and uses the tamer's blood to imprint a mark on its soul; shares vitality between tamer and beast.
More stable, allows smoother growth through bottlenecks. Beast is ready to lay down its life willing for their tamer.
If beast dies, tamer suffers backlash.
3. Soul Bond (High)
Deeper resonance; beast and tamer share fragments of soul, which evolves automatically from the blood bond as their bond strength increases.
Highest stability and greatest potential growth.
Enables access to Fusion Skills (unique powers born from synergy).
4. Ascendant Bond (Extremely Rare)
Born only when beast and tamer reach perfect harmony.
Can break bloodline limits, even creating new evolutionary paths.
Both tamer and beast influence each other's growth (a Common soul-rank tamer could rise beyond expectation through a perfect Ascendant bond).
#
Bloodline ranks.
It gave a rough idea of how far a beast could grow in strength.
Ordinary Bloodline, their strength would cap at a maximum of 2 stars.
Mortal Bloodline, their strength reached its ceiling at a maximum of 3 stars or rarely 4 stars.
Super Bloodline, could grow till 5 stars or in extremely rare cases, 6 stars.
Noble Bloodline, maximum 7 stars.
Royal Bloodline, 7 stars is easily achieved by them, but some have the capabilities to reach 8 stars or rival them in strength.
And lastly, the strongest Bloodline,
Divine Bloodline, 9 stars are to be expected of them, but they are said to even become a God Beast if given time. But nobody knows the truth, as no one could remain alive near them to test it.

Equipments, artifacts and treasures were divided into colour ranks.
White - ★
Green - ★★
Blue - ★★★
Purple - ★★★★
Yellow - ★★★★★
Orange - ★★★★★★
Red - ★★★★★★★
Gold - ★★★★★★★★
Black Gold - ★★★★★★★★★
Black - ★★★★★★★★★★
White for lowest and Black for highest. They were further divided into minor levels: Low, Intermediate, Advanced and Peak. (Low, Mid, High and Peak). Each colour represented its corresponding stars.
Above white quality, tools were infused with a larger amount of mana, which made it so that only people with soul rank could use them. People with no soul rank could only use white quality weapons but even with that, they couldn't use them to their full potential.

Hunters:
Hunters were people who stepped into the path of Beast hunting, even though they didn't manage to awaken a beast-taming talent. Most of these were people who had soul rank, since soul rank meant a person had mana in their body and could temper their body comparatively more easily than those with no soul rank. However, hunters are still far inferior to Beast Masters due to their inability to make contracts with beasts. Since a tamed beast allowed its master to get skills and made it easier for more effective and efficient use of their soul, also the fact that they couldn't fight alongside a beast, they were much, much weaker.
Hunters had a different guild called the Hunters Guild, these were specifically for people who were not beast masters but had the ability to fight beasts with magic equipments and soul techniques. Unlike Beast tamers, they didn't have ranks and were not rewarded with a nobility status. All hunters are of the same rank and authority, but to separate veterans and newbies, they have a credit system. These were given to a hunter when they completed a mission; a more difficult mission provided more credit. For instance, a hunter is said to be a veteran when their credit is above 1000. And a simple goblin subjugation(low to mid 1★) task(F - rank) provided 2 - 4 credit points.

Limiter on Beast Masters
It has to be noted that strength was proportional to soul rank. For instance, Zerek has an uncommon rank soul, whose rank value is 2. So even though he was a high 2-star Beast Master—which has the potential of stats ranging 30 - 40—his stats were in the range of the original full potential of 1-star + 20% of the potential of high 2-star, that is 10 + 6-8 = 16 - 18. Though this was the case only because Zerek neglected his training, since his soul allowed him to naturally gain strength in the range of 16 - 18, with training, he might have actually reached in 30s. This was the reason that James was advancing and not him.
[20% because his soul rank value is 2 = 20%]
[For Rare soul(3), it will be 30% and so on.]
[Advancing to the next rank allows the beast master to unlock the complete potential of the previous rank, regardless of soul rank]
