Total level
Level plus master level added together: the number that top tier items, the new maps and the class evolutions actually look at.
Updated on August 10, 2026Total level is the sum of your normal level and your master level. A character at level 400 with master 200 has total level 600. It is the concept that confuses newcomers the most, because the character screen shows both numbers, but half the content in the game looks only at the total, and the other half looks only at the normal level.
The reason is simple: the normal level caps at 400 and will never go past it, because master experience only exists while the level is at the cap. Since the equipment and the maps brought over from Season 20 ask for requirements of 500, 800, 1300, the server needed a number that kept growing. That number is the total level.

Where total level is used
Whenever a requirement goes past 400, it is compared against the total. That holds in the four places below, and the client was adjusted to do the same math, otherwise the item would show up red in your inventory even though it is equippable.
| Where | How it works |
|---|---|
| Item requirement | All 130 mastery weapons and shields and the ten armor tiers ask for total level, from 400 to 1500. |
| Fourth and fifth generation wings | Total level 500 for the fourth, 600 for the fifth. |
| New map entrance | Nixie's Lake asks for 630, the five Deep Dungeons ask for 770, the Trial Area asks for 800. |
| Fourth and fifth class quest | The fourth asks for total 800, the fifth asks for total 1200. |
The milestones and what each one opens
- Total 400Pure level 400, master 0
You just closed out the normal level. This is where the first mastery equipment tier opens, the Bloodangel: the thirteen weapons and shields in that tier ask for exactly total level 400.
- Total 500Master level 100
The fourth generation wings open up (Wings of Elysium, Wings of Flame God, Cloak of Dominator and the rest) along with Darkangel armor.
- Total 600Master level 200
The fifth generation wings open up (Wings of Virtue, Wings of Destruction, Cloak of Oath and the rest) along with Darkangel weapons.
- Total 630Master level 230
Nixie's Lake opens, with the entrance through Raklion (208, 219).
- Total 770Master level 370
The five Deep Dungeons open, with the entrance through Lorencia (176, 29) and a linear chain between the five floors.
- Total 800Master level 400: the turning point
The third class tree closes (400 points spent) and the fourth class quest opens with the NPC Cent. Anyone who does not evolve here stops earning tree points forever.
- Total 1200Master level 800
The fourth class tree closes (another 400 points) and the fifth class quest opens with the NPC Eunice, in Devias (193, 11).
- Total 1500Master level 1100, the cap
The last equipment tier, the Lightning, asks for exactly this. Above here there is no level progression left in the game.
Total level requirement per equipment tier
The ladder of the ten mastery tiers is exactly a total level ladder, in steps of a hundred. The weapons of a tier ask for a hundred more than the armor of the same tier, with one exception at the top.

- 2Darkangel
- 3Holyangel
- 4Awakening Soul
- 5Blue Eye
- 6Silver Heart
- 7Manticore
- 8Brilliant
- 9Apocalypse
- 10Lightning
How the total grows
There is only one way for the total level to go up after 400: gaining master level. And master level only comes in when you kill monsters of level 95 or higher, as a third class character or above, with your normal level at 400. There is no shortcut, no level item and no reset that pushes that number.
- 1Level 1 to 400
Normal experience. The total goes up along with it, from 1 to 400.
- 2Third class evolution
Without it the master never starts, even at level 400.
- 3Master 1 to 1100
Each master level adds 1 to the total, up to 1500.
