Leveling

Leveling is Soulrend’s main progression system. Dealing damage to mobs fills a progress bar, and each time it fills the player gains a Soulrend level. Levels run from 0 to 200. Each level gives one skill point for the skill trees, and levels 1 to 180 also give one attribute point for the six stats.

The Soulrend level also sets how strong mobs are: most new mobs take the level of the nearest player (see Mob Levels). Companions a player owns take their owner’s level too.

How it works#

Step	What happens
Deal damage	Damage to mobs adds to the level progress. See [[leveling/earning-levels
Level up	When the progress reaches the level’s requirement, the player gains a level. Extra damage carries over to the next level.
Rewards	1 skill point every level, up to 200. 1 attribute point every level up to 180.
Spend	Skill points go into the [[skill-trees

The Prologue quest Leveling Up introduces the system.

The Levelling screen#

The Levelling screen is a tab in the inventory, next to the Origins, Skill Tree, Quests and Combat Skills tabs. It shows the player’s level, rank, progress toward the next level (“Progress damage / requirement”) and the skill points earned so far. Its menus are:

Attributes: the player’s current attribute values, grouped into sections (Core, Combat, Defense, Vigor, Resist, Spell, Utility and others).
Stats: where attribute points are spent. See Stats.
Titles: where a title is chosen. See Titles & Ranks.
Skills, Perks, Origins and Factions.

Details#

Death doesn’t reset anything. Level, progress, stats and title are copied to the respawned player.
The cap is 200. At level 200 damage stops counting.
Attribute points stop at 180. That is exactly enough to raise all six stats to their maximum of 30.
Server operators can set or reset a level with /soulrend level set <players> <level> and /soulrend level reset <players> (/soulrend skillpoints works the same way). Both need permission level 2.

In this section#

Earning Levels: what damage counts and how much each level needs.
Stats: the six stats and what each point gives.
Titles & Ranks: titles to display and the rank shown on the Levelling screen.
Mob Levels: how mobs take the level of nearby players, and which bosses have fixed levels.
