**Character Leveling** Your character level (c-lvl) in Blademistress Chronicles functions similarly to other games, with one notable difference. Instead of gaining experience directly from defeating creatures, raising your skills grants experience towards your c-lvl. It takes 1000 experience points to level up your c-lvl, and there is no maximum level for player characters. **What benefits do i gain?** *Increased max HP per level gained. *Increased max Stamina per level gained. *Increased innate 'Defense' stat per level gained. *Increased innate 'Dust Effect Penetration' (DEP) stat per level gained. **How much experience towards c-lvl do i gain from each skill** Each skill in the game can differ in amounts granted towards c-lvl upon that skill leveling up. They are as follows: *Dodge (d-lvl): 400 *Blacksmith: 200 exp *Staff Crafting: 200 exp *Totem Crafting: 200 exp *Geomancy: 200 exp **What is the fastest way to level up my character?** The quickest method to level up involves focusing on your 'Dodge' skill, which awards double the experience towards your character level (c-lvl) compared to other skills. As your dodge skill level increases, so does the experience required to level it up further. Eventually, you'll find that leveling up dodge takes significantly more time. At this point, it may be more efficient to focus on leveling up your alternative skills to progress in c-lvls. In the long run, after maxing out your alternative skills, dodge remains the only skill without a maximum level and can continue to be increased.
