Overview

Experience Points are the traditional means of leveling throughout the entire Final Fantasy franchise. There are multiple methods of earning Experience Points, but the primary source is through defeating monsters. In Final Fantasy XI, players can level every job they have unlocked. Starting from level 1, progression is made up to level 99 by earning Experience Points. After every level that is earned, the number of points required to advance (known as TNL or Til-Next-Level) gradually increases.

Level Caps

Initially, up to level 50 is available to all players. Upon reaching 1 Experience Point from level 51, players are temporarily "capped" from reaching 51. At this point, Limit Break Quests must be completed every five levels before a player is allowed to proceed with their leveling journey. These were (and sometimes still are) called "Genkai", referring to the Japanese term for Limit.

Limit Points

Upon reaching level 75, a player has the ability to start accumulating Limit Points. This system is a way to further enhance your character's statistics and abilities, and are even required for the Limit Break Quests after level 75. Limit Points can be earned by being in possession of the key item Limit breaker. Limit Points are earned in-place of Experience Points at a 1:1 ratio, and the rate is affected by Experience Point Bonuses (see below). The mode for earning either Experience Points or Limit Points can be toggled under the menu "Status > Merit Points > Mode Switch". If a player is maxed out on either their current level limit or level 99, this mode automatically switches to Limit Points. Every 10,000 Limit Points earned grants one Merit Point.

For further information, see the Merit Points page.
