What to Do After Reaching Breakthrough Level Cap



Farm Stored Experience

Side Story
Once you reach the daily level cap, any extra experience you earn from activities or quests will be stored automatically. This stored EXP gives you a bonus, adding an extra 50% when you gain more experience later. Since your extra EXP isn't wasted, you can keep doing most in game activities and exploring points of interest even after hitting the cap.

How to Use Stored EXP

High Level Content Restrictions

Some content, including the main story, has higher level requirements that prevent you from accessing it until your character level cap increases.

Unlock Martial Arts
