Max Levels in Dragon Age: The Veilguard

Rook's Level Cap is 50

The level cap for Rook is level 50. This means that Rook stops earning experience points after reaching the max level.

Earn a Skill Point Whenever You Level Up

Do note that Rook earns a Skill Point whenever they level up and it can be used to progress a specific branch of their Skill Tree. Skill Points can be refunded at any time for free. Companions also have their own levels and each level gained grants them 2 Skill Points. You can also gain additional skill points from Fen'Harel Altars.

Companion Level Cap is 10

Max Companion Level

Companions can gain bond by doing their questlines and bringing them along on other missions. They max out at Level 10.

Max Faction Strength is 3 Stars

Max Faction Strength

All factions in the game start out at 1 Star strength but can be raised up to 3 Stars. This can be raised by completing quests related to their region or selling them valuables. It's best to raise this as this can affect the ending.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard has several side content such as companion quests, faction quests, and side quests. They provide a lot of experience (XP) allowing Rook to level up and be more prepared for the boss fights that will be encountered during the campaign.

Kill Every Enemy You See

Kill Enemies

Killing enemies also provides experience. However, the amount of XP gained is much smaller compared to doing quests, making it not as worthwhile to grind. Note that you can adjust difficulty to kill enemies faster.
