Compared to previous level caps, where Epics were incredibly rare and worked best in sets due to SetBonus, Lv. 105 Epics by comparison are extremely easy to get, are completely functional as independent pieces and allow players to fully gear a single character in less than a month. The new grind takes the form of a new EquipmentUpgrade system called Option Growth, which allows players to build towards endgame by slowly upgrading the potency of their gear's effects over time, making the process of upgrading to endgame feel more natural.

As an added bonus, the Daily/Weekly dungeon system was overhauled into the Play Point system, where players can use Play Points earned by completing DFO Missions to buy entry tickets into advanced content without being arbitrarily limited in daily/weekly runs.
