I see that you need to finish 10 threads in one floor to get to the one above. My next question is whether a person could freely make threads over all the floors they have been to or if you need an item for it?
From what I was told by Shark (from memory) the benchmark only applies to the floor boss on 10 and is lifted when the boss is defeated but don't wuote me on that
Think of it this way, the floors are divided up by 10s. You can RP in the first "set" but to graduate to the next "Set" you need to complete your benchmark.
