Yeah, I generally don't acknowledge the existence of things like enhancements, inspirations, inventions, or stores as having any sort of substance in the lore. They're effectively non-issues. Sure, maybe you can invision a character stopping off at a "laboratory" or "library" for some "widget" that might help in his adventures, but I don't think everything always needs to be explained like that. Dr. Brainstorm alone proves how lame trying to explain every mechanic in game lore can be. Just nod your head and accept that mechanics are mechanics and try not to think about them too much. It's separate from the story and immersion breaking if you try to brute force them into it.

Considering that you're literally unable to be defeated in the tutorial, the lack of XP after the level up is understandable.

A Praetorian Devouring Earth Epic Archetype. Initially serving the Hamidon, it infiltrates Praetorian society with the cover of being some kind of superhuman with plant powers.

I'd like to remind people that by the time you're fighting the giant Shivan, you're already level 2.

In order to command the beasts, you must be able to speak to the beasts.

I've always done the tutorials. Free level. Who's gonna pass up that?

I always thought Praetoria could have made use of a few task forces. Throw in some well-written task forces and you might see some activity there.

I guess scaling hawks are too silly to hang with giant, snow-breathing wolves.

Funny how the only sound in this game that bugs me is the chime for League chat.

Or they could just move the missions to another rundown trial/hazard zone. Y'know, like they said they would.
