Base level

Base level guides attributes, resources, equipment requirements, regional access, quests, and broad prerequisites. It is one path of power rather than the entire progression model.

Class mastery

Mastery represents practice and identity. It opens skill points, passives, and future specialization choices without reducing a class to the equipment currently worn.

World Attunement

Attunement records a character's relationship with each world. It can govern resistance to environmental pressure, access to local systems, and readiness for regional pinnacle challenges.

Runic Imprints

Imprints provide horizontal build expression through discovered effects and combinations. They are intended to broaden decisions without replacing the value of levels, mastery, or equipment.
