yeah, i think raising stat caps is just intended progression. which is why <a href="/wiki/Seek_Advice_from_the_Grizzled_Veteran" title="Seek Advice from the Grizzled Veteran">Seek Advice from the Grizzled Veteran</a> exists. even in terms of items honestly a lot of it comes down to "occasionally throwing FBG some cash for seasonal items" which like, don't get me wrong, i support and is good, but it's not really interesting enough for the guide.

what *might* be worthwhile to include is gathering all the free advanced stat equipment that's available in game, which is probably meaty enough to be a guide on its own but then could be linked here.
