This amount was not that great. It was enough to pay for his next upgrade, but was not enough to carry him to level ten, much less to take him to level 20. The ability to obtain Worldly Essence would only get worse as time went on because they only had two decades of free farming.
Not to mention that so far, Damon was only frolicking in customized tier 1 instances, where the Universe Will was obviously tweaking his scenario to try and show him something while also creating favorable conditions for him to succeed.
But wait, forget all that, did you just say that Instances had tiers?
Well dumbo, of course, they did!
That was why all the instances that Damon had visited had the number '1' after them. They were the first tier of such instances, meant for those between level 1 and level 10, and once one passed level 11 and entered that same instance, they would be introduced to tier 2 of it.
