what is the blue level?

[PetTheDog]

I hit level 25 but I am only level 9 in the "blue" number so I can't do a promotion. What is the blue number and how do I increase it? I cannot find any info about it

It's your player rank. You increase it simply by completing missions. It will continue to grow and not stop at 25 like the dwarf levels.

Your looking at the wrong information your Dwarf level is 25 which makes your able to promote that Dwarf the blue levels are ranks that just go up and up so as far as I know they mean nothing are just meant to bragging right.

No I believe it only fills up when you level up your Dwarf, max out a Dwarf it stops filling up.

Ah, true true.

OP, switch to a different class until you can promote your maxed out one.

OP technically CAN promote that dwarf now, they need to perform an assignment as well as accumilate the money and the minerals needed to do the promotion so if they've done the assignment and have the money and the minerals they should be able to promote right then and there the catch is that they MUST be alone to do it.

Blue level is not only for bragging. Some assignments are locked behind certain blue rank level. Also, if you happen to reach level 25 on each class, you won't level them up anymore and your blue rank will stop growing too. To continue leveling blue rank you need to complete promotion assignments and promote them in the memorial hall after that.

Oh yeah I forgot about that, same goes for the cosmetics in the shop.

1 "red" level (class level) = 1 bar on the "blue" level (account/player level), out of 3 bars

Max class level is 25 and once you hit that you unlock an assignement that unlocks class promotion (prestige) so you can reset to level 1 (you keep all upgrades, cosmetics, guns, materials, everything, only the level is reset) and gain more class levels to further raise your player level.

The player level unlocks some things in the cosmetic shop and some prestige assignements in the assignement terminal.
AFAIK the last player level you unlock something at is 100 (which is 300 class level ups or 12 promotions, spread across however you want, either dump it all on your favourite or spread them out evenly), but otherwise there is no limit to how high you can raise it.
I've seen someone rocking a four-digit level the other day and I'm pretty sure it was legit seeing how well they played and their nice cosmetics.

thanks guys, the rank 25 promotion assignment is locked (grayed out, says I need level 10 blue) and I am at 9. I guess I will just do a few more missions until it goes to 10. It seems like something that ought to be mentioned somewhere in the manual/help.

update, looks like "Cursed Hawkins" is right "that they MUST be alone to do it." - when I broke off from my group, it unlocked even though I am still a 9 blue. Looks like a bug, it shouldn't say I needed to be level 10 blue if that was not the issue.

Blue has NOTHING to do with promotions only the level of the Dwarf!

To gain more xp for blue rank, you need to play other dwarf which isn't on level 25

for lower level characters, the blue is still relevant for advancement quests. My screenshot shows that I need to get to level 10 blue in order to get the lethal hazard levels assignment enabled: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1oJOT553JvpzKBIJUIhYfiNnFI_MaHv5J

you need to be ALONE to promote, I am not sure if it says so but last step in promotion.
Don't worry you can do the promo mission with friends, just the "act of promotion" needs to be done in you own instance without others

(think it like it's sacred thing between you and company so it requires privacy)
