# All [[players]], [[mobs]], [[NPCs]], [[quests]] and [[items]] in [[WoW]] are assigned a level.<br />This is a way the game categorizes their overall effectiveness, power, usefulness, strength and challenge.<br />This degree of comparison is in no way exact and considered more of a guideline.

#* The level of a [[Player]], [[Mob]], or [[NPC]] relates to a guideline to expect similar [[Ability|abilities]], [[attribute]]s, [[Equipment]], and [[power]]s. Creatures of similar level should fight at about an equal footing such that one will not easily defeat the other.

−

#* The level of [[Quest]] or [[Item]] determines the required [[Player]] character level needed to pursue that quest or [[Equip]] that item. Quests of similar level should be of similar difficulty to complete and items of similar level should have similar [[stat]]s.

−

# Degrees of advancement in [[skill]]s ([[Professions|profession]]) are sometimes called levels. For example, one may have [[Journeyman]] skill level which is better than [[Apprentice]]. Or one could say that you need at least 50 levels (points) in [[Skinning]], before you can [[Train]] Journeyman.\ Skinning.

# [[Spell]] [[rank]]s are sometimes called levels (but this is more rare).

The maximum level in the original [[World of Warcraft]] is level 60. In the expansion [[The Burning Crusade]] the maximum level was raised to level 70. In the second expansion, [[Wrath of the Lich King]], the maximum level was raised to level 80. In the third expansion, [[Cataclysm]], the maximum level will be raised to level 85.

[[NPC]]s such as trainers and questgivers rarely make direct reference to a player character's level. Notable exceptions are very early quests (teaching ''you'', the player, about training new [[rank]]s of skills), and [[Rhonin]] who at level 80 congratulates your character on reaching "the 80th season of adventure" in an in-game mail.

== General Level ==

Some comments on general levels:

−

* Characters under level 10 are usually considered [[Newbie]]s.

−

* Most [[Player]]s only begin to master their [[Class]] starting around level 20.

−

* Even though it may seem like a long way to 30th level, below that might be considered "low level", since you can reach up to level 80 (current cap).

−

* Training gets progressively more expensive as levels increase.

−

* [[Elite creature|Elite]] [[mob]]s vary wildly in how much harder they are to kill than their level would indicate. Some non-elite mobs are much easier to kill than their level would indicate.

−

* Level is just a guideline, so some types (classes) of creatures match up better against others regardless of their level. For example, a [[rogue]]-like mob might be much easier to kill than a [[priest]]-like mob, if you depend too much on your physical defenses. [[Rogue]]s do much better against [[caster]]s than [[tank]]s. [[Priest]]s and [[paladin]]s do much better against [[undead]] mobs than normal mobs. And so on...

−

⚫

=== ~~Colors~~ ===

−

The characters and mobs you come across in your travels will have their [[difficulty]] (determined by level) indicated with a color.

−

*[[Skull]] (AKA "'''Level ??'''") is 10 or more levels higher (or a "boss")

−

*[[Red]] is anything more than 4 levels higher.

−

*[[Orange]] is 3 to 4 levels higher.

−

*[[Yellow]] is always up to 2 levels lower or higher.

−

*[[Green]] limit changes depending on your level:

−

**Level 1-9: 4 levels lower

−

**Level 10-19: 5 levels lower

−

**Level 20-29: 6 levels lower

−

**Level 30-39: 7 levels lower

−

**Level 40-70: 8 levels lower

−

**Level 71-80: ? levels lower

−

*[[Gray]] is anything below the lowest green level

−

== Honor, PvP & XP ==

−

* Gray level players do not give you any Honorable kills

−

* Gray level quests give you a highly reduced amount of experience. At the level cap (80), instead of experience, you will be awarded 6 copper per exp point.

−

== Hit & Crit Chance ==

−

* On Orange and above Mobs you will have a greatly reduced hit and crit chance. And at the same time they will have a much increased chance to hit / crit you, and can cause crushing blows.

−

( You can offset this by getting a lot of +defense skill items and skills )

−

* On Green and Gray level mobs you will have a higher hit and crit chance than what is shown on your skill list. Because their "defense" skill should theoretically be lower than your weapon skill.

−

* On Yellow Mobs your hit and crit chance is about accurate.

−

== Skill Level ==

−

There are six basic skill levels:

−

*[[Apprentice]]

−

*[[Journeyman]]

−

*[[Expert]]

−

*[[Artisan]]

−

*[[Master]] {{bc-inline}}

−

*[[Grand Master]] {{wotlk-inline}}

−

*[[Illustrious]] {{cata-inline}}

−

== Item Level ==

−

* See [[Level (Item)]].

−

==Trivia==

−

*The Maximum level hardcoded into the game is 255
