How to Level
Attributes:
Everything into Physique, except for when you need to invest into Cunning or Spirit to meet the required stats for equipping items.
Leveling:
There are primarily 2 ways to go. Either focus more on Occultist or Shaman. I would suggest going with an Occultist focused setup since it is easier to level with. You can ofcourse, focus on both equally, but then would be spreading your points too thin and that is not recommended.

- Yellow > Stag > Panther > Remove Yellow >
- Falcon > Nighttalon > Toad > Red >
- Behemoth > Remove Red > Bysmiel’s Bonds >
