Should only be used if the player character gains something from this that can't be gained otherwise.

More commonly used in story-driven games or games that try to be story driven but aren't. Often by unlocking new skills or abilities.

Occasionally this is combined with the other advancement methods with this serving as the unlocking part, and the other advancement method actually taking the unlocked thing. It also may be that progress simply awards the player with points of advancement.
