Threat Levels

Game data

The game offers 5 Threat Levels, from Very Low to Very High. These are its own descriptions.

Threat LevelIn-game description
Very LowSuper simple to start! Perfect if you've never played before.
LowA fun challenge! Great if you've played some games.
StandardThe recommended experience, offering a fair challenge for anyone who's played a game or two
HighA true test of skill, demanding mastery of the game's mechanics.
Very HighA brutal gauntlet, reserved only for the most dedicated players.

When the threat rises, the game tells you: “Mobs are more challenging”, “Item drops are better”, “Higher chance to drop uniques”.

Areas are also rated against your current power: “Very Low Threat At Current Power”, “Low Threat At Current Power”, “Standard Threat At Current Power”, “High Threat At Current Power”, “Very High Threat At Current Power”.

The exact scaling numbers behind each level are not in the extracted data, so none are claimed here.

How it works (in-game guide)

Quoted from the game's own tutorial log.

Leveling up

You gain XP by defeating mobs and completing quests.

As you gain more XP, you level up and become more powerful - but beware, so do mobs!

Every level up, you're rewarded with 1 Enchantment Point and your chance of finding rare and more powerful items increases.

At level 5, a second artifact slot is unlocked.

At level 10, a third artifact slot is unlocked.

Power level

Your power level is determined by the power level of your equipped items. This will effect how powerful you are towards mobs and how much damage they do to you.

Recommended levels by region: Brave Haven (1), Honeycomb Fields (2), Howling Woods (6), The Deep Dark (14), Rainy Plains (21), Frozen Highlands (26), Humbler Huskland (36), Lullaby Hills (42). At level 15, spend 300 Emerald, 50 Echo Shards and 4 enchantment books to upgrade the Merchant and Enchantsmith.
