Licence summary for automated readers: https://justified.gg/llms.txt Your **Character level** is your account-wide level, from 1 to 60. Every job you work, every kill and every collection tier feeds it. Your level and XP show on your HUD, and the **Escape menu** Progress group has the rest. Each job also has its own ladder. Those are covered on the [Skills](https://justified.gg/wiki/progression/skills) page. --- ## How XP Works **Earn XP** by playing. Working a job, killing players and filling collection tiers all pay Character XP. **Level up** when your XP reaches the next total on the table below. **Collect the reward** for that level: Bits, Shards, Unbox cases, kits and unlocks. ### Where Character XP Comes From | Source | XP | | - | - | | Playtime | 5 XP every 10 minutes while you're online | | Working a job | Half of the XP you earn on that job's ladder also goes to your Character | | Killing a player | 10 XP (the same victim pays you once every 5 minutes) | | Collection tiers | 10 x the numeral you reach, see [Collections](https://justified.gg/wiki/progression/collections) | | Reputation titles | 50, 100, 200 and 400 XP, see [Reputation](https://justified.gg/wiki/progression/reputation) | | Quests and chain steps | Many of them pay XP beside their cash, see [Quests](https://justified.gg/wiki/progression/quests) | ### XP Bonuses These add together on top of the base XP. | Bonus | Character XP | Job ladders | | - | - | - | | First hour of the day | +50% | +50% | | VIP | +10% | +2% to +10%, depending on the job | | VIP+ | +13% | +4% to +14% | | MVP | +16% | +6% to +18% | | MVP+ | +20% | +8% to +22% | | Premium | +24% | +9% to +26% | | Premium+ | +30% | +10% to +30% | - The first-hour bonus covers your first hour of play time each day. If you log off early, the rest of that hour is still there when you come back the same day. - Rank bonuses don't stack with each other, you get the best one you hold. They pause while you're AFK. - Job ladders that pay slowly get the bigger bonus in each range. - A **city blessing** gives everyone online +10% XP for one hour. A player who has finished the Character ladder or prestiged can cast it from the interaction menu for £500,000, once a day, with at least 3 players online. Blessings need a 3 hour gap between them. --- ## Character Level Table Your level is how far your total XP gets you on this table. | Level | Total XP | | - | - | | 5 | 4,900 | | 10 | 19,600 | | 15 | 44,100 | | 20 | 78,400 | | 25 | 122,500 | | 30 | 176,400 | | 35 | 240,100 | | 40 | 313,600 | | 45 | 396,900 | | 50 | 490,000 | | 55 | 592,900 | | 60 | 705,600 | --- ## What Each Level Gives ### Bits, Shards and Cases | Level | Bits | Also | | - | - | - | | 5 | 20 | Newcomer's Cache kit | | 10 | 40 | Bronze Case | | 15 | 50 | Street Survivor's Stash kit | | 20 | 60 | Silver Case | | 25 | 75 | 25 Shards, Established Hustler's Kit | | 30 | 90 | Gold Case | | 35 | 105 | Veteran's Arsenal kit | | 40 | 120 | Gold Case | | 45 | 140 | Senior Operator's Loadout kit | | 50 | 170 | 50 Shards, Platinum Case | | 55 | 200 | Elite's Armory kit | | 60 | 300 | 100 Shards, Diamond Case | Every other level pays Bits too, and the amount goes up by decade. | Levels | Bits for each level that isn't in the table | | - | - | | 1 to 10 | 3 | | 11 to 20 | 4 | | 21 to 30 | 5 | | 31 to 40 | 6 | | 41 to 50 | 8 | | 51 to 60 | 10 | ### Unlocks | Level | You get | | - | - | | 5 | Saved outfits in the wardrobe | | 6 | Auto-pickup: your drops go straight into your inventory | | 7 | The Bazaar: buy and sell materials by the unit (Escape menu, Marketplace) | Until level 7 you can sell materials to the Combat Merchant in Industrial. ### Kits Character kits unlock at levels 5, 15, 25, 35, 45 and 55. Open the kit menu to claim one. Each kit has its own cooldown, and no paid rank is needed. ### Jobs That Need a Level Some jobs need a Character level, and some need a level on another ladder. The F4 menu shows what each job asks for before you take it. Police Officer, for example, needs Character level 5. --- ## Prestige At Character level 60 you can **prestige**, up to 10 times. A prestige costs money, sets your Character level back to the start and pays you cash and a new title. Open the **Skills** tab in the Escape menu and use **Rebirth**. You open it at Ambrose, the Perk Dealer, unless you hold MVP+ or Premium+. | Prestige | Cost | Cash Reward | Title | | - | - | - | - | | 1 | £5,000,000 | £500,000 | Initiate | | 2 | £7,500,000 | £750,000 | Veteran | | 3 | £10,000,000 | £1,000,000 | Elite | | 4 | £12,500,000 | £1,250,000 | Master | | 5 | £15,000,000 | £1,500,000 | Grandmaster | | 6 | £20,000,000 | £2,000,000 | Legend | | 7 | £25,000,000 | £2,500,000 | Mythic | | 8 | £30,000,000 | £3,000,000 | Immortal | | 9 | £40,000,000 | £4,000,000 | Transcendent | | 10 | £50,000,000 | £5,000,000 | Eternal | - Your prestige shows as a P1 to P10 badge on the scoreboard and as a tag in chat. It replaces your level title. - Every prestige gives you 6 extra skill points to spend on perks, on top of one per Character level. - Prestige perks unlock in the Skills tab at prestige 1, 2, 4, 6 and 10: Vitality I (+15 max HP), Resilience I (+5 resistance), Vitality II (+35 max HP), Resilience II (+8 resistance) and Eternal Blessing (+10% damage, +10 resistance and +25% XP). ### Level Titles | Levels | Title | | - | - | | 1 to 5 | Newcomer | | 6 to 15 | Regular | | 16 to 25 | Experienced | | 26 to 35 | Veteran | | 36 to 45 | Elite | | 46 to 55 | Master | | 56 to 59 | Grandmaster | | 60 | Legend | --- ## Tips - Doing a little of everything levels your Character fastest, because every job feeds it. - Log in and work in your first hour of the day to get the +50%. - The level board ranks prestige first, then level. --- ## FAQ ### Do I lose job levels when I prestige? No. Prestige only resets your Character level. ### Does my XP stay if I switch jobs? Yes. Every ladder is saved to your account. ### Why can't I take a job? Check the level it needs in the F4 menu. It may want a Character level or a level on another job's ladder. ### Where do I see what a level gives? Open the **Skills** tab in the Escape menu (at Ambrose, the Perk Dealer, unless you hold MVP+ or Premium+). Its job levels section lists every level on every ladder and what it gives.
