How to Increase Character Level


Use Thief Compendiums on Characters

Thief Compendium
You can use Thief Compendiums on your characters to level them up quickly. You can get Thief Compendiums as you complete missions and progress through the main story.

Increase the limit by leveling up your Player Level

Your Player Level is tied to the character level. You must increase your Player Level to break their upper limit and level up the characters again.

Battle Enemies

Battle Enemies

Battling and defeating enemies will allow you characters to get a bit of EXP. Although its not as fast as using Thief Compendiums, it is still a good way to earn character EXP as you will always have a chance to battle enemies when you do the other contents in the game.

Defeat Shadows in Palaces

If you do not have Thief Compendiums and have more time in your hands, an alternative way to level up your Characters is to clear Shadows in Palaces. However, there is a daily limit for the EXP you gain, but it is more than worth it by allowing you to save your materials!
