Of course, before anything else, Ryan had one last task: reach level thirty-five and put on the equipment he had been stockpiling.
Most of his new gear had come as rewards for turning in materials to the guild. Some of it was allocated internally, but Ryan had made sure to secure a complete set for himself.
The highlight, though, was the Heart of Defiance, a piece he had bought a while ago and kept tucked away until the right moment. Now it was finally time to let it shine.
He hadn't yet unlocked the passive skill Radiant Intellect, which would one day allow his stamina gear to boost spell power, but he had something else to fill the gap. The Relic of Adored Radiance, earned from the First Light quest chain, had replaced the makeshift relic he'd crafted earlier. The relic alone granted him an extra twenty-two points of Holy spell power.
