max level?

[Cynicalkatt87]

what is the maximum level you get in this game, and where is the strength plateau at? like in ch-1 in the northern zone as you make your way to centrellia, there are some spots where you find level 40 enemies, if one grinds enough to hit them and possibly even high enough to defeat them then will you feel strong or too strong for a while or just the tutorial section? i read somewhere max level was just 50, is this true? is there cap raises with updates or just dlc? okay thanks

Max level is 199 as far as I know. Level 40 - 50 is normal for the story mode ending. About the rest of your question - sorry, I didn't understand what you meant.
Also, while player's max lvl is 199, you'll need to upgrade your equipment for the endgame stuff, because enemy's max lvl is 999.

in the beginning of the game once the big tree is knocked down and the duo decide to head south for military training i want to say in the first or second zone there is a quarry pit in the southeastern area of the map, in the pit is a cave that has a treasure chest in it with some very high powered bugs and like a level 40 queen bee or something like that. if you grind up to beat that uberbug right when you have the first opportunity to see it before doing anything else in the tutorial section of the game and while it is just kirito and uegeo as party members, maybe red too? i forget precisely. but very early in the game. will it wholly unbalance the rest of the game? is power creep based on level skills or gear? reading the changelog the original level cap was 50, and this foe is like level 40 so obviously its endgame content, or at least endgame to the first edition base content.

It's just a stronger field mob protecting the chest, and apart from that there's nothing special about it. Besides if the level difference between you and the target is too big, you probably won't be able to even hit the enemy (higher accuracy needed). It's not really story-end-game, but you should skip monsters that are way over your current level and come back later once you level up and get more skills. About the upgrades, I think you should upgrade your equipment during the main story whenever you can, and after completing the story upgrading is a must.

Game power is based on gear, stats and mechanics rather than levels.

Been easily downing 50+ level enemies just exploiting the basic down + chain burst mechanics.

Yes, grind in this game is huge, added on top of the massive amount of content it already has.

Also the most fun part to coop around.

Sadly it's the part most people stop playing and move on.
