Ascent

Levelling pays you now, all the way to 100

Before this, levelling handed over three cosmetics and a stat floor, and then nothing at all from level 30 to 100 — seventy levels, which is most of the game.

Thirty rungs now, and you are never more than a few levels from the next one. Some are a purse of Crowns; the ones that matter are things the store will never sell — halos, epithets, and at the cap The Shattered Crown, a title of your own.

A few notes on how it is built, because they are promises rather than details:

• Nothing above level 30 touches the game's numbers. The Brave/Faith floor still stops at +15. A level-90 account is better dressed, never better.
• The whole ladder is worth about six days of ordinary earning. It garnishes the economy; it is not a way around it.
• If you levelled before today, you are owed the back pay and will collect it on your next finished match.

MY ACCOUNT reads the real ladder from the server. It used to show five hand-typed rows, which had quietly drifted into promising a "Dawn Aura" that was retired two releases ago and a "zodiac perk" at 100 that never existed.
