Character Level & XP

Character Level & XP is the numeric layer behind the level-up half of the Mastery & Progression page: leveling grants attribute points across Defense, Ether, Magic, Weapon and Fighting Style (see Attributes & Stats), and the client's progression formulas cap that track at 100 with a curve documented as base 100, exponent 1.3.

That exponent shape is meaningfully different from mastery's curve. Mastery XP grows by compounding a fixed growth rate per level (1.025x, i.e. +2.5% each level), while character level XP is described by a base-and-exponent pair (100, 1.3)- consistent with an exponential requirement formula where the XP needed per level rises by a fixed power rather than a fixed percentage. Both curves get steeper with level, but they are not the same shape, and the client does not expose the exact per-level output number for either- only the seed constants that feed the (undecompiled) formula functions.

A separate min/max range applies specifically to mission board content: documents its own level window ( 5, 100, 5) with a of 0.25, meaning mission board difficulty is level-banded in steps of 5 and adjusts modestly for party size- distinct from, but capped at the same ceiling as, overall character level.

Enemy defense is calibrated against player level through a documented reference curve: level 1 sits at 5 reference defense, level 15 at 15, level 30 at 35, level 60 at 80, level 90 at 125, and level 100 at 140. This curve is the balance anchor the Enemy Scaling & TTK page's damage-mitigation formulas measure against- a level 60 character and enemy are both assumed to carry roughly 80 reference defense unless gear or attribute points push them off that baseline.

The formula set also documents a of 1000. Whether this is a hard wallet ceiling on total held gold or a cap specific to one reward context (a single mission board payout, for instance) is not specified by the surrounding data, so this page reports the constant without asserting which.
