progression route
Level 1–80: move by readiness, not grind.
Seven static stages connect current region levels, fast-travel anchors and verified tower checkpoints. This chooses the next leg; it does not navigate every step.
How to read the evidence
Tower levels and the seven-stage skeleton are verified 1.0 research anchors. Region ordering follows the main-quest and tower progression, not wild spawn levels.
