Epic Level Daggerheart

My group is only halfway to endgame and I haven't put much thought into this topic yet. For us it's mostly the story lines that we want to see to completion so the mechanics will not matter much but we might do more with "looter shooter" and up the inventory item/focus.

Maybe just " Up the Stakes"? My experiences in the past that is the more abilities that are gained the stakes go down....its like a causality type thing....nothing really changes...more powers...more powerful monsters....danger and stakes not really shift......but reaching an APEX level and then having more powerful foes rise to challenge....now that is a true endgame!

Just my thoughts.
