promotions?

[SlickMick1234]

im really confused as to how promotions work, could someone explain? please and thank you

1. Reach level 25 on a class.

2. Do the promotion assignment.

3. Go to the promotion terminal and pay to promote.

[LT2483]

When a class reaches level 25, a 4 mission long promotion assignment for that class appears in the assignment terminal. Once you do that mission, you then go to the promotion terminal in the memorial hall and pay a fee (credits and class-dependant crafting materials).

Promotions reset that class to level 1 (but DON'T cause anything to become locked again), unlock some features when you do it the first time (and first time for each class), and give you a promotion star, which affects the portrait frame around your character.

Promoting the first time gives you access to deep dives, the forge and grants you a key to activate machine events. All it does is reset your character to level 1 again, but only in terms of allowing you to collect XP again until you build back up to level 25. You aren't punished in any way by promoting, however, by NOT promoting a character and leaving them at 25, you do not earn any Xp on them until you promote to reset them.

Since Chib already told you on how, I will explain to you why:
- First promotion unlocks content (Deep Dives, Overclocks, extra perk slot).
- Following promotions are to reset your level so you can increase your blue rank
- Increaasing your blue rank opens exclusive cosmetics for that rank, the highest rank required for the last cosmetic is 100

Promoting is optional but encouraged.

Every class has its own red level. Those range from 1-25. Once you reach 25 a special Promotion assignment unlocks. Completing that gives you a promotion and resets red level for that dwarf back to 1. Advancing red levels (per class) increases you blue global level, which is used for unlocking some cosmetics and bragging rights.

First promotion (one bronze star) is the most important. The first ever allows you to use matrix cores (through events) and forge for crafting advanced weapon upgrades and additional cosmetics.

At least one bronze star on that class is required for that dwarf to attend Deep Dives and Elite Deep Dives, series of harder missions which reward matrix cores.

You have 1-3 stars for Bronze, then Silver, then Gold, Platinum, Werid Blue Don't Know How It's Called, Legendary. Beyond that you keep legendary 3 badge but can promote for gamer ego points.

1.1 USE the Assignment Terminal once a Dwarf gets to lvl 6 to 10 , Wear It Out as some early assignments can not be skipped ... nobody emphasizes this point ... when you get Red 25 , your "Promotion Assignment" will show up here (scroll down)
