Main Quest: At least level 25

To complete the main storyline, it is recommended to be at least level 24. If you only focus on the main quests, you may fall short of the recommended level, so it's a good idea to level up by completing side quests and defeating enemies.

Talents Enhances the protagonist's magic and statsClear the main quest "Jackdaw's Rest"
Potions Can be used for healing and enhancing the protagonistClear the main quest "Potions Class"

In higher difficulty levels, it is important not only to level up but also to unlock talents and prepare potions. Relying solely on spells you learn through the story will limit your options in battles, so it's recommended to utilize talents and potions to broaden your choices.
