Gnosis

With the Ghost Galleon Update (Version 0.2) the difficulty is no longer tied to the player level.
Instead the Game introduced a new mechanic: Gnosis.

With this mechanic you are somewhat able to overlevel and get stronger, but some content will be locked for you until you increase your Gnosis Level.
As of Update 0.2 and 0.3 there are only 4 levels of gnosis which have different requirements to unlock, see below.
