Your character will rise through the ‘levels’ by earning Experience Points. Although the advancement is slow, the rewards are worthwhile and permanent.
Your character starts at level 1 and can progress right through to level 15. In real time it is estimated this could take between 5 and 8 years depending on the frequency of your turnaround.
Obtaining a new level is known as ‘Levelling Up’. With this comes various permanent increases in abilities, bonuses, skills and new spells.
The type and quantity of rewards varies and depends on the level reached. Rewards have been grouped below by:
- Every Level
- Every 2nd Level (2nd, 4th, 6th, etc)
- Every 3rd Level (3rd, 6th, 9th, etc)
- Every 5th Level (5th, 10th, 15th)
Every Level #
The rewards below are given each and every level, starting from level 2.
The Skill Group Allocation Bonus is the only bonus that you will be allowed to distribute amongst your character’s skill group ranks as you see fit. Everything else will be automatically assigned as depicted below.
