How the level cap grows
In MU Online the highest level a character can reach is not fixed. Almost every season update lifts it a little, so long-time players always have a new goal. In recent seasons each step has been 50 levels, and the cap now stands at 1,750 after the second update of Season 21 Part 1.
Raising your level also unlocks the newer hunting grounds, and after the 4th class every level gives a point for the Skill Enhance Tree.

EXP rules at high level
- A 3rd class character stops earning EXP at level 800. To keep leveling it must finish the 4th class upgrade.
- A 4th class character only gets EXP from monsters of level 160 or higher.
- Damage also depends on the gap between you and the monster. If your level is below the monster's level plus 600, you deal less damage and take more, up to 70% either way.
- Season 18 Part 1 changed the EXP needed for every level from 1,451 upward.
- Since Season 19 Part 1, a 4th class character above level 1,600 no longer earns Skill Enhance Tree points.
