In its predecessor,Dragon’s Dogma,and its expansionDragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen, the maximum level players could get to was Level 200. For most, this was not required at all, and the game could bebeat with a barely level 50 or socharacter. InDragon’s Dogma 2, much remains the same, though the max level cap inDD2is significantly increased.
And just like in the first title as well,Dragon’s Dogma 2features a variety of Vocations that the Arisen can take on, and rank up, to access new skills. The max player level inDD2and the max Vocation rank are tracked separately, though.
What Is The Max Level In Dragon’s Dogma 2?
InDragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen, the predecessor toDragon’s Dogma 2, max level was capped at 200. In the previous title, level 200 was still far above what most players would reach normally. The max level inDragon’s Dogma 2is even more exorbitant – theoretically, players can reach amax level of lvl 999.
Both the Arisen and their Main Pawn level at practically the same rate, and havethe same level cap inDD2. But it will take a very, very long time to reach theDD2max level. Most players don’t reach level 100 by the end of the game, let alone by the end of a single New Game Plus playthrough.
In practice,there is essentially no capon your max level because it will take a nigh-unobtainable amount of grinding XP to reach lvl 999. Being at a level even a tenth of that (lvl 100) is high enough to crush most of the game’s enemies and bosses, so unless you plan to go deep into New Game Plus, there’s not much point in grinding to max level inDragon’s Dogma 2. However, it is a good idea to try to grind your Vocation to max level.
Max Vocation Rank Is Different Than Max Player Level
Though there’s not much point to getting max level inDragon’s Dogma 2, as your Vocational Rank is tracked separately from the player’s level, and offers new Vocation skills and Augments at new Ranks. Each Vocation can be leveled to a maximum Vocation rank of 9.
At even Ranks and the max rank 9, all Vocations grant new Augments, which can be transferred betweenVocations once unlocked. New spells, abilities, and core skills unlock at most ranks, but can only be equipped when playing as the related Vocation (except Warfarer, but that’s unique).
So, by leveling up inDragon’s Dogma 2, the Arisen will increase their core stats, but they won’t necessarily gain new abilities. By ranking up their Vocation (which happens naturally alongside regular XP gains), theArisen and their Main Pawnwill unlock new class-related abilities. Both are ways to improve inDragon’s Dogma 2, but getting to max level is not as important as ranking up your Vocation and training new skills as often as possible.
