# Power-Ups & Permanent Progression

Permanent progression improves a character beyond normal equipment upgrades. These systems provide lasting stats, unlocks, or utility and should be developed throughout Royal content.

## Main Systems

* [Spirit Dice](/character-and-equipment-progression/power-ups-and-permanent-progression/spirit-dice.md)
* [Furniture & Housing](/character-and-equipment-progression/power-ups-and-permanent-progression/furniture-and-housing.md)
* [Madrigal Statue](/character-and-equipment-progression/power-ups-and-permanent-progression/madrigal-statue.md)

## Planning Permanent Upgrades

Complete guaranteed and inexpensive upgrades first, then compare the next cost with an equipment improvement. Keep older-content materials when they are used in Alchemy, furniture, or permanent-item recipes.

{% hint style="info" %}
Permanent systems often provide smaller individual gains that become powerful when combined. Track completed upgrades so materials are not spent twice on the same goal.
