temporary power:
Rings: Rings provide temporary power. Don't get me wrong, rings are powerful but its best when you level them up yourself. I'm not saying this to make you do anything the hard way for no apparent reason. If you would kindly direct your attention you your "player info". You see those stats? They are not effected by what rings you have.



edit: The rings are now soul bound so the "rings" part is not as relevant I guess... but I'll leave it here for two reasons. One, they may undo their decision someday. Two, it shows as a good reminder that ring levels aren't everything.
Power Ups: Battery chargers and ring polishers and whatever else they someday make as a power boost fall into this category. These are made for if you get yourself in over your head while farming or to get past a particularly nasty boss. I'm fairly sure no one is going to try to spend the amount of money you would need to make this anywhere near a "permanent" solution, so I won't even really say much other then this. I never bought any. I don't plan to.


*SPECIAL NOTE* One power up that CAN HELP YOU GAIN PERMANENT POWER is the double orb power up. The more orbs you get the more your permanent charge builds up. Permanent charge is permanent!
