46. Stats, Tables, & Gear—All the LitRPG!

Vilastromoz considers an Altmar expedition via avatar, reflecting on the Empire’s elven god council and the Autarch’s dominance. Intrigued by Altmar-made natural dungeons, he instead checks Order preparations and sends academy invitations broadly, including to the Altmar Empire, reaffirming the Order’s alchemical prestige.

Jake emerges from the Undergrowth platform, regretting failing to bring the cave troll family out. He surveys the regrowing biodome area and returns to his lodge, where a note from Miranda explains her temporary absence for a D-grade push and Neil’s recent evolution and work on the Fort’s teleportation circle.

Reviewing system updates, Jake’s dungeon titles advance to Dungeoneer VI and Dungeon Pioneer VI, granting substantial all-stat boosts. He replaces his old cloak with a prismatic one and swaps Badger Pants for epic Undergrowth legguards, gaining Vitality and utility through Life Burst and a passive growth aura.

Jake equips the Altmar N-Signet, studies item stat caps (20% per stat; 15% total from gear) and how percentage amplifiers don’t double-apply to gear stats. Considering his amplifiers, he prioritizes weaker, less-amplified attributes for gear investment while allowing some indulgence in Perception.

He finalizes the ring’s distribution: +300 Strength, +300 Agility, +200 Perception, +100 Endurance, and +100 Intelligence. The influx markedly raises his melee competence and overall balance. Reviewing his status, Jake notes significant gains, resolves to secure further gear upgrades before the Treasure Hunt, and accepts that min-maxing will bend to his practical preferences.
