I suppose that's a simplified way to look at it. You have two separate power levels: hero and item.

Item power level ranges something like 5-300, and as you've noticed, it goes up as you open chests. Basically there's this hidden "highest power found" stat that tracks item power attached to spawned equipment (whether found in opened loot boxes or from crafting new gear), and this number is used to determine future items as well. Every time you get a new item, its power can be up to 10 more or 10 less than your highest power found. Eventually, however, you will only find items with a power rating of 295-300. The game then uses the combined average of all equipped items' power levels to determine your total power level gained through items, up to 300 with a full set of 300 power items equipped.

For hero power, it's a lot simpler and goes up by 10 for every level, so for a total of 350 at level 35. Combining a level 35 hero with a full set of max power items can give you a total of 650 power level.

Yep, you got it! Because Recruit boxes only can give you up to 100 power items, while all others can go up to 300. As I briefly mentioned above, you can also use all the scrap you get from salvaging junk to craft new items which can also boost your "power found" a little faster, assuming you're willing to part ways with your scraps.

Go for Legend Emperor coffer when you can, the other chests have lower drop rate of red gears.

There's a faster way. Craft stuff. Every craft has a chance of increasing your power level.

It only costs 10 salvage, which is nothing.

Sorry to necro an old thread, but YOU DA REAL MVP!! I had been getting frustrated at the slow rate of item level increase until I did this. It's amazing how uncommon this knowledge seems to be.
