Key talent milestones

Seal of Command arrives at 20, Pursuit of Justice then speeds up travel, and Repentance completes this route at 30.

When to change this route

This is a melee questing path. With spell-power gear and a fast weapon, compare Seal of Righteousness: Seal of Command is not automatically stronger.
