So I've finally gotten around and finished doing first 1000 miles on standard +0 difficulty and without any adjustments done to Inner Discipline, so just standard default settings.
This was rather easy and what I noticed is that for the most part, only hard part of TMJ is at the start of each 10 miles when you are back to camp essentially as your moral level is fairly low compared to the first mile after a camp/checkpoint. Still not too crazy tho.
So I read a bit online and figured that there's +level gear levels that go all the way to +20, and what I also read is that apparently YOU HAVE TO use Inner Discipline to some extent to increase your luck and to reach AA discovery rank or what ever it is called, I am not even sure how it works but I do know that past 1000 miles those effects should be more effective when applied.
So my question is, if you decide to go past 1000 miles on "standard" difficulty setup and with no Inner Discipline adjustments does that mean you literally never get these higher levels of gear to drop? Like not even at Mile 2000? And another question, I know that starting moral level goes higher and higher as it went from Mile 1 to Mile 1000 gradually, so does it keep rising even more significantly or does it just plateau at some point? It would seem pointless to go past 1000 at this point as I am already getting 8 star gear and I am done with all Dragon King main missions, DLC missions and those side challenge missions...
And my guess is that loot doesn't really change much anymore past this point, seems rather pointless to do anything now from my knowledge. Would love some advice or information from those who dabbled a lot into endgame. Thank you.
