Yup, i could have got 27 maybe 28-29 stars if i tried but honestly i didn't see the point. Why waste stam/char trying stuff out when all you get is + 20 levels or something. you can easily fodder her up from the time you saved not wasting stam/char. Instead i got the ninja chick 4/5 skill + mincost so i am pretty pleased with that, could have gone for 5/5 skill but i was getting trash luck and i needed gold today (monday) lol.
