Leveling (2024)

Description[]

Power Levels are your character's experience and combat ability. The more power you have, the better; along with encountering/unlocking dialogue and dangers.

Investment & Free Points[]

Investment Points always start and refresh at 15 (unless you choose no attunement, in which case it will be 25 at first, and then go back to 15, this also applies if you didn't put your starting charrecter points, making it 27.), and decreases per attribute increase. Once your number of investment points reaches 0, you level up.

If you have the Autodidact Boon, for every Power Level after Power 1, you gain a 3 Free Points. The same thing applies to Adret, which gives you the Autodidact Boon for free. If you have both the Autodidact Boon and the Adret Race you will get 6 Free Points. Free Points will allow you to increase all of your attributes of your choice but doesn't allow you to power up if you don't have enough exp. Free points cannot be used after Power 20, and considered useless. It's recommended to use your points as much as you can before reaching the cap, of Power 20.

You can spend Free Points whilst sitting near a campfire (or anything that can substitute a campfire).

It is also noted that you can get free points even without Autodidact by getting white orbs that spawn out of humanoid and monster mobs (has a certain chance to do so) or you can talk to Shrine of Courage. It will not affect anything else after reaching Power 20 and using up all your investment points.

Notes/Trivia[]

• At Power Level 3 and below, if you managed to leave the Depths, you are able to return back to the Overworld without any challenge unless you "drowned" a few times.
• At Power Level 4 and above, if you ever get to the part to leave the Depths, you are forced to partake in a Trial (Most likely a boss) in order to return to the Overworld. At this point, if you get sent to the Depths' void by any means, you'll be sent to the Second Layer and will be forced to escape with the available options at the risk of wiping.
• At Power Level 5, your character is eligible to create Guilds.
• Each Power Level increase stabilizes your Health Bar if its tainted. Does not work while in The Depths, but can save you from certain death.
• The amount of times you have been forcibly sent to the depths increases a counter called Times Drowned in the summary which adds the number of Drowns to your Power Level when calculating which trial you must face.
• Autodidact is not that useful at higher levels. However, it will make leveling from 1-12 much easier and quicker.
