Level, Experience, and Progression
Now that you know all the common relevant stats for combats, you may asked "How to have more of it?".
There are several ways to improve your character stats and customize it to your liking.
Leveling
The simplest and the most common way to get stronger in any videogame.
When you defeated enemies in battle, completing a quest, or some other mean, you will gain experience or "xp" for short. And when you accrue enough xp, you will level up.
- Defeating enemy in combat grant you xp equal to the enemy level × 2.
- The amount of xp you gain from completing a quest depends on its difficulty.
- There are also a perk and a fetish that can grant you xp.
The amount of xp you need to level up is your level × 10.
Upon leveling up, you will gain 1 perk point and 1 enchantment capacity. At every 5 level, however, you will gain 3 perk points and 5 enchantment capacity instead.
Perks & Traits
Perks and Traits are passive benefits you can acquire the while you are playing the game. It can be anything from simple stats upgrade to a major change in how you do combat.
All player start of with "Abnormal Aura" trait and one occupational trait chosen at the start of the run.
The main way to gain them is via Perk tree where you can exchange the perk points from leveling for a set path of perk you can choose
But there are also many "secret" perk you may gain from complete a quest as a reward or when you do it in a certain way.
Equipment & Enchantment
The other major way to customize and improve your character stats is via equipment and enchantment.
Weapon is an obvious way to make your characters hit harder but it's your choice if you want to beat everyone with a feather duster.
Your attire, meanwhile, are usually just for cosmetics but there are some clothing that will increase your natural physical shielding which will not eat up your enchantment capacity.
If you wear a certain combination of equipment, you will also gain a set bonus which will bump up your stats even more.
In the end, it's a trade off. Whether you want your character to look absolutely dapper or slap every pieces of armors on to your character is entirely you choice.
But something that does not have any tradeoff is Enchantments.
Unlocked after your character discover the existent of Arcane Essences from beating someone in combat or sex, every piece of equipment can be enchanted with Arcane Essences to modify just about any stats of the wearer. There is a limit to this however. With every stats increase by the enchantment, the more the fill up the enchantment capacity. You should not wear too many enchanted gears to the point that it exceed the enchantment capacity as the more your exceed it, the nastier the debuff you will receive to the point that it make the game unplayable.
