Level

 

1. What Is Level?

 

Level is the basic measure of a character's strength. Various features and content unlock according to your character's Level, and you also earn stat points.

 

Within each Level you gain 1 stat point for every 20% of EXP, and when you level up you gain 1 more stat point. In other words, you get 6 stat points per Level.

 

 

 

 

2. How to Earn EXP

 

To earn EXP, you must defeat monsters of a suitable level. You only earn EXP from monsters no more than 6 Levels below your character. Monsters 7 or more Levels below you give no EXP, and you won't get Silver Coins or items from them either.

 

If your character's Level is higher than or close to a monster's, the EXP you earn is reduced. As long as your hunting speed doesn't drop, taking on higher-Level hunting grounds is better for growth. The same principle applies to Skill Points.

4. Level Penalty

 

Unlike regular monsters, when you fight a Boss while your character's Level is lower, you receive a power-reduction effect. For every 1 Level of difference between the Boss and your character, your Attack, Defense and Resistance drop by 5%. This effect caps at 90%, and a gap of 18 Levels or more applies the maximum penalty.

 

However, this Level penalty does not apply to Bosses in Dungeons.
