The World Tree Awakening, Radiant Gems & Endgame Stat Caps
Max level is no longer the end of a Pal's power curve thanks to deep-zone progression tracks.
Reaching maximum level used to cap a Pal's growth. The World Tree Awakening mechanic adds a progression track beyond that ceiling, letting fully leveled Pals keep gaining power in the deep zone.
Radiant Gems
Awakening is fueled by Radiant Gems, hidden throughout the World Tree region. Hunting and banking gems is the gate on how quickly you can push a roster past baseline, so prioritize the routes that yield them densely.
Scaling past the cap
A fully Awakened Pal pushes measurably past the normal stat boundaries, which resets the top of the power curve for combat and expeditions alike. Plan which Pals deserve gem investment before you spend, because the best candidates are the ones already carrying ideal passives.
