Veteran Levels
Overview
Veteran Levels are awarded after a character is level 50. Each veteran level requires 5,608,000 XP to achieve. The "Total XP" stat in the I.D. window is capped at 44,757,119. Once the cap is reached, the amount displayed in "Total XP" is reset to the amount needed to achieve level 50, or 39,149,119 XP.
Veteran levels are not visible in your character I.D. window nor on the level indicator in the Status window. However, you can see the veteran level of a character in the Info window (Menu--> Personal Info) or by right-clicking on another character and selecting "Info". Alternately, you can use the slash command /Info.
There is no combat or game mechanic benefit to having veteran levels. However, on Homecoming, gaining experience after level 50 awards Incarnate Experience used to unlock Incarnate powers. Veteran levels also bestow Empyrean Merits and Incarnate Threads according to the reward schedules listed in the Details section below.
First 99 Veteran Levels
Almost half of the first 99 veteran levels grant Incarnate crafting materials, weighted to the first 12 which grant the highest quantity and tapering off from veteran level 13 onward. Every three veteran levels awards a badge (often repurposed from the defunct Veteran Rewards badging scheme) through veteran level 99.
Subsequent Veteran Levels (100+)
No further badges, awards, or materials are granted. To date, no maximum veteran level has been reported by Homecoming players.
