Levels
Levels
Summary: Your character grows through two separate levels, Base Level and Job Level. Each earned through their own type of Experience and each granting different rewards.
Base Level
Base Level (BLv) is the main measure of your character's overall power. Gaining Base Experience raises your Base Level, and each level grants Status Points to spend on Stats.
- Characters start at Base Level 1 and can reach 99.
- Each level requires more EXP than the last.
- Dying costs you 1% of the Base EXP needed for your next level, except in the Comodo Arena, most towns, and other exempt maps.
Why Base Level matters:
- Increases Max HP and Max SP significantly per level
- Base Level + DEX affects your HIT rate
- Base Level + AGI affects your FLEE rate
- Higher-level gear and dungeons often require a minimum Base Level
Job Level
Job Level (JLv) tracks your progress within your current class. Gaining Job Experience raises your Job Level and grants a Skill Point to spend on class skills.
- Job Level resets to 1 whenever you change class.
- As a Novice or High Novice, a character can reach Job Level 10, at which point they're ready to change to a First Class.
- Dying costs you 1% of the Base EXP and Job EXP needed for your next level.
| Class Tier | Max Job Level |
|---|---|
| Novice / High Novice | 10 |
| First Class | 50 |
| Second Class | 50 |
| Transcendent First Class | 50 |
| Transcendent Second Class | 70 |
Why Job Level matters:
- Grants Skill Points to unlock and upgrade class skills
- Certain classes get stat bonuses at specific Job Levels
- Some crafting/production skills scale success rate with Job Level (e.g. +0.2% per Job Level for certain professions)
- At Job Level 50, some Second Class job-change quests grant exemptions from certain steps or extra rewards
Transcending / Rebirth
Once a character reaches Base Level 99 and Job Level 50 as a First Class, they can complete the Rebirth quest to become a High Novice, which resets:
- Base Level to 1
- Job Level to 1
- All Stats to 1
- All learned Skills removed
In exchange, transcendent characters receive:
- +25% bonus to Max HP and Max SP
- 100 free Status Points immediately (compared to 48 for a fresh Novice)
- Access to Transcendent-exclusive skills
- A higher Job Level cap on their Second Class (70 instead of 50), granting extra Skill Points and stat bonus thresholds
