Leveling

The Black Masses will feature RPG mechanics which will allow players to level up infinitely, improving their skills to the point where they enjoy near-godlike status.

Player levels are gained by receiving experience in a number of skills.

For each level gained, the player character is awarded 2 ability points, 15 max health, 5 max stamina, and 100 max Daear.

You can upgrade your abilities like in the screen under.

As of version 0.9.8 the max level is 60.

The quickest way to level is to find a mass of the possessed, such as at Fort Wyver in the early game. Then find a place the possessed have trouble reaching and getting up to. Typically this may be a broken down cart or a short stone wall. Swing with wild abandon and watch your max health and stamina rise or use the second ability of the Agility tree, (Flame Shot?), if you plan on going ranged.

The level of the enemies has a significant impact on the experience acquired from hitting them with any attack, including grenades. Masses of possessed can be found in many major cities, but the best ones are usually focused around towers. The central square in Perth is a perfect mid-game grinding tool.

If you are planning for a melee build, be sure to spend that Daear on the Vampirism skill as soon as possible.
