Character Progression

Introduction to Character Progression

Character progression in Sipher Odyssey is a multi-layered system that allows players to develop their Vessels (characters) through leveling, ascension, and equipment customization. This wiki provides a comprehensive guide to understanding and optimizing your character's growth journey.

Character Loadout

Every Vessel in Sipher Odyssey requires a complete loadout consisting of:

• 2 Weapons (1 Ranged & 1 Melee)
• 1 Chest Gear
• 1 Head Gear
• 1 Hand Gear
• 1 Leg Gear
• 1 Foot Gear

Important Notes:

• All slots must be filled for a complete loadout
• Each Vessel can have only one loadout
• Each equipment piece can only be equipped by one Vessel at a time
• Equipment with a Vessel icon in inventory indicates it's currently equipped

Leveling System

Experience Points (XP)

XP is the primary resource for advancing your Vessel's level:

• Earned by completing dungeon runs
• Required XP increases with each level
• XP collection stops when a Vessel reaches its current level cap
• Must be spent in the Hero Customization screen to level up

Level Cap

Each Vessel has a level cap determined by its Ascension tier:

Stats Progression

As your Vessel levels up, the following stats will increase:

• Max Health (Int): Maximum health capacity
• Speed (Float): Movement distance per second
• Strength (Int): Melee attack damage calculation
• Defense (Int): Melee damage resistance calculation
• Precision (Int): Ranged attack damage calculation
• Evasion (Int): Ranged damage resistance calculation

Ascension System

Ascension is a powerful progression mechanic that enhances a Vessel's potential beyond regular leveling.

Ascension Requirements

To ascend a Vessel, you need:

• Bytes (Soft Currency)
• 2 other Vessels of the same Sub-race and Ascension level

Ascension Benefits

Each Ascension level provides:

• Increased level cap (+10 levels)
• Permanent percentage-based stat bonuses
• Unlocked features and enhancements

XP Boosters & Accelerants

XP Boosters

XP Boosters are consumable items that increase XP gains:

• Applied before entering a dungeon
• Effect remains active for the specified duration
• Multiplies XP earned from completed dungeon runs
• Only one XP Booster can be active at a time
• New boosters can replace active ones

XP Drives

XP Drives provide instant XP to a selected Vessel:

• Used outside dungeons from inventory
• Available in different tiers matching Ascension levels
• Tier restrictions apply (Vessels can only use drives up to their Ascension tier)
• Purchasable from the Emporium (availability based on player level)
• The auto-feature allows for efficient level-up planning

Trading & Genesis NFT Vessels

Regular Vessel Trading

When a Vessel is traded via the Marketplace:

• Level resets to 1
• The new owner can level up using XP Drives

Genesis NFT Vessels

Genesis NFT Vessels have special properties:

• Come with dedicated equipment
• Equipment is automatically managed when listed on Marketplace
• Cannot be used as Ascension materials
• Retain their equipment when withdrawn to blockchain wallet

Progression Strategy Tips

• Focus on ascending your main Vessels to unlock their passives
• Use XP Drives strategically for quick leveling of newly acquired Vessels
• Prioritize leveling Vessels with synergistic abilities for your playstyle
• Balance your team composition with complementary Sub-races
• Plan ahead when using same Sub-race Vessels as Ascension materials
• Take advantage of XP Boosters during intensive dungeon running sessions

By understanding these progression systems, you'll be able to optimize your Vessels' development and maximize their potential in combat.
