How powerful is the player really?(Wynncraft Powerscaling)(spoilers for everything)
The Wynncraft story line suffers from inconsistency; it can decide whether it's LOTR, D&D or a JRPG where you kill gods and are Massively Faster Than Light or perhaps Wynncraft is based on whatever drug induced adventures the writers go on in their real lives. But I think we can all agree Wynncraft is peak in Fruma.
Due to tonal inconsistency power scaling in Wynncraft is a bit wonky, for example in the Level 70 quest WynnExcavation Site D the player kills a ‘god’ however 6 levels earlier in the Level 64 quest All roads to peace the player gets beaten by 4 random orcs. A common issue I have with the story is when the player just gets knocked out or taken prisoner in cutscenes. The player is a god slayer but the story is inconsistent in where to put their power level. With all that said there are metrics by which we can judge the players overall power such as levels dps and hp; however, I don't think these stats reflect the lore but I would like to hear input from the community.
ATTACK POTENCY
If you take a bad faith interpretation of the lore where the level 1 player is the equivalent power level of minecraft Steve then the all power feats jump to dramatic proportions where the player is the strongest character in all of fiction excluding characters with infinite power and characters that rely on HAX based abilities. There are arguments like the existence of the creeper to say that the events of the game are based on a universe with minecraft as the underlying nature of the world but this is not explicitly confirmed.

The player shows the ability to destroy quarts and hard steel during Corkus and then there is an apparent massive jump down in power during Fruma to fight the local wildlife; however, the wildlife is magical so this should be disregarded. Assuming that the obsidian spike growths in the Wartorn Palace are the same material as the spikes growing in Wynn the player is stronger than the most powerful nonmagical tnt possessed by the researcher, unfortunately this feat does not tell us much so feel free to one up me on anything.
DESTRUCTIVE CAPABILITY
DC is basically the area of destruction from a single barrage of attacks. The greatest feats here are destroying the canyon colossus, beating anathema, beating the destroyer of worlds. A conservative guess would put the player at a large building to small city block level of DC.
The actual size of the map is called into question when trying to scale anything larger than the player because it is likely that otherwise dialogue becomes confusing like how are you getting lost in the canyon of the lost if the entire world is like 20^2 KM(including empty ocean) or like 1/200th the size of the smallest US state or like ⅓ the size of my home town .

Bosses have stronger potential DC than the player like the opening of the portals from each of the three beasts which is a city block level feat that was casually performed, The canyon colossus could have destroyed all of gavel in a day with its rampage. Such destruction is likely nothing compared to how fast Orphion could take over the entire world if Saphanis was ever to be slain seeing how he controls a domain of an indeterminable size. The lowest possible DC for these bosses would place them at multi city block level but in the lore they would jump to being easily capable of destroying planets.
SPEED
Speed is an interesting one; the player is faster than the speed of light. The question is by how much. In the Aleumia Citadel the lighthouse is shooting off light that the player can dodge by ducking behind a building which scales them at around the speed of light; it should also be noted that this area can be accessed at level 1 if the player goes there on a second account.
It's also entirely possible(and my head cannon) that the player's perception of time speeds up during cutscenes or fights. When Lari fought Bakal she shot several rays of light that could be argued as lightspeed that moved significantly slower than the beacon directly after this they fought at speeds the player cannot comprehend . The attacks of Orphion the realm beast of light being anything less than the speed of light seems silly and the parasite which is level 250 should be faster than Lari who is only level 150 which suggests a jump in power before and after the quest. Sovereign Zhiraok also moves at speeds that move faster than the player can see so this suggests a second jump in power as the player goes through during Fruma.
It could be argued that All the characters are roughly lightspeed and stay around that level the entire game and can use movement spells to go FTL(faster than light) but this would mean that Lari and Bakal were trading blows without being able to see the other opponent or know their own location which seems weird to me. I would place the characters as being Massively FTL during Fruma.
STAMINA
This is entirely based on the build IMO but due to health regen mana regen and the sheer speed and strength of the verse it's very good.
HAX
Overall the list of HAX abilities is short.
The player has cannon respawns as shown in the level 87 quest Beyond the Grave.( I think the player is the scion of death)
One of the expertise the player has is in communicating with seeing and effecting spirits using magic.
At the valley of time the player can see the events of the past although there are different ways of doing this such as with secret discoveries or flashback cutscenes which all happen near constantly.
There are an uncountable number of examples of npc’s such as Lari using magic for non combative purposes that the player very rarely copies whether they have the potential to cast this type of magic “off screen” is unknown however most npc’s rightly regard the player as being good for only one thing.
RANGE
Range is heavily based on class and speaks the most for itself so I won't bother with measuring it. In this level of power the amount of range is honestly quite small.
