Fixed: unreachable faction recipes, honest quest labels

September 2, 2026 · Fix

A sharp-eyed player pointed out that no amount of grinding was ever going to close the gap between real character levels and the numbers showing up on late-game quests. Digging into it turned up two real problems, both fixed now.

The bigger one: a batch of faction-store recipes had a level requirement set so high that nobody could have ever actually bought them, going back for months. Those recipes are now purchasable the same way the newer factions already handle it: reputation standing, not an out-of-reach level.

The other: quest cards and the Codex were labeling a story-order number as a "Recommended Level," which looked like something you were meant to reach. That number never actually gated anything, so it's now shown honestly as a Story Rank instead.

Nothing about quest access, story order, or existing progress changed. If you've been eyeing a faction recipe that felt permanently out of reach, it's worth checking again.
