# Player progression In Ascend the End, player progression is multifaceted, encompassing levels, islands reached in Glory Runs, and ratings for Grand Tournaments. * **Levels**: As players level up, they unlock new shelter upgrades such as weapons, bionics, and farms. * **Glory Runs**: Progress in Glory Runs is measured by the islands reached. Each new island or biome introduces fresh challenges, rules, and enemies, adding layers to the gameplay experience. * **Ratings**: Player ratings, along with their level and gear score, qualify them for specific Grand Tournaments. These tournaments offer a competitive arena for players to showcase their skills and earn prestigious rewards. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
