The Astrofel Progression system offers opportunities for your Companion Creature to deepen their connection with their Affliction, turning weaknesses in to strengths.

Participating in the progression system is completely optional. If you prefer your Companion remain at Level 0, that is perfectly fine. The levels serve as a guide for unlocking new experiences, not a requirement.

The Creature Progression system offers opportunities for your Companion Creature to deepen their connection with their Affliction, turning weaknesses in to strengths. Most Companion Creatures will follow the typical progression path of their individual Affliction, however, as long as you stay within the bounds of your Companion's current level and purchased talents, we allow for some flexibility in interpretation. You may purchase alternate progression paths for characters from the Marketplace; contact the support team if you have an idea you would like to explore!

Participating in the progression system is completely optional. If you prefer your Companion remain at Level 0, that is perfectly fine. The levels serve as a guide for unlocking new experiences, not a requirement.
