Leveling Adjusted

8.5.2 was using a leveling formula that skyrocketed leveling requirements too much, so Leveling has been adjusted closer to the previous Endless Leveling configuration. Still, it speeds up early prestiges, then slows down the later prestiges.

DEFAULT SETTING (CAN BE UNCAPPED):
The absolute leveling cap is now level 250, instead of Endless T-T
This is due to skill points being too powerful at higher levels and way too hard to balance for servers/pvp. This will make the mod healthier to work with and more flexible for any future features and mod integration  (Trust me, I'm cooking something good)

SYSTEM 4 — Compressed + gentler prestige scaling (2.0 exponent, start cap 50, +10 base)

Caps:
50 → 100 → 150 → 200 → 250
Base: 100 → 150 → 200 → 250 → 300

Prestige    Max Level    XP Requirement
P0    50    36,500
P5    100    135,000
P10    150    302,600
P15    200    545,000
P20    250    865,200

:pushpin: Behavior:

Much slower scaling pressure overall
Late game is significantly more reachable
Prestige increases feel meaningful without exploding grind
Best “long-term playable MMO curve” of the four
:scales: DIRECT COMPARISON (key insights)
:firecracker: At P10 (midgame breakpoint)
System    XP @ cap
Default    654,000
