Levels and experience

Your level rises with experience: every kill pays the monster’s experience, the number on its page, and quests pay a fixed amount, listed on each quest page. The game shows the experience still needed for the next level (“TNL”) on the character sheet.

Level cap

There is no level cap. The cap was lifted in 0.4.06^[1], lifted again after a short pause in 0.4.08^[2], and removed once more in 0.4.51^[3] after it had been frozen while the world grew. That update was celebrated with double-experience weekends.

Level rewards

Each level hands out stat points to spend, and many items and spells have a level requirement, shown on their pages. The training guide says where players train and which quests repeat.

The experience a level takes rises in steps: the first jump in the curve starts at level 80 (moved there from 50 in 0.4.51^[4], so 50 to 80 is flatter than it was). Your level is your level in whichever class is active; a class also keeps a training level of its own, raised by playing it, and a knowledge level raised by reading knowledge books^[5].
