Players can unlock run-enhancing NPCs, stash items, and modify their gear through enchantments. By finding blueprints, players can unlock new equipment enchants and attunements for permanent trinket upgrades. This system supports a dynamic gear setup, enabling players to craft and explore varied play styles.

Infinite Progression
