Limit the Augmentation Level

The concept of completing the game with a single +10 upgraded weapon and a large HP pool isn’t working: players simply sell all items they obtain.

Proposal: Limit augmentation to level 4.

• Maximum augmentation level: 4 (0, 1, 2, 3, 4).
• To reach the next level, combine three items of the current level, with a guaranteed success rate.
• • Required items for each level increase: 3-9-27-81 items.*

If this proposal impacts the balance for the Mage class, introduce skill analogs with improved stats in higher-level biomes. However, ensure these new skills require a high character level.
