Activities
Eight activities share one step economy
Step Conquest turns one bank of real-world steps into eight activity tracks, each capped at Lv 25. Commanding matters most because it also sets your unit level cap and how many legions you can field.
Every activity levels from what you spend steps on. Marching powers Traveling, battles power Commanding, gathering powers Foraging and Mining, guild battles power Social, crafting powers Alchemy and Smithing, and dungeon runs power Exploration.
