In this guide, I have explained the highest level you can reach in Diablo 2 Resurrected and also what penalties are applied during your runs.
Diablo 2 Resurrected Ladder is a base race to reach the Max Level in the game. To reach the Max Level, you will grind through Mobs again and again. Although slaying Monsters and completing Quests gives EXP to Level Up, there are certain conditions and penalties when you gain EXP in Diablo 2 Resurrected. In this guide, I will explain What the Max Level or Character Limit is in Diablo 2 Resurrected and what you have to do to get there.
Well, the short and simple answer to this question is 99. The Max Level your Character will reach, or to put it, the Level Cap is 99 Levels in Diablo 2 Resurrected. To get to Level 99 you will need to get a total of 3,520,485,254 EXP points. You will need to grind a lot of runs to get this much EXP. Well, that’s the answer but it is not as simple as it seems. Blizzard has implemented EXP restrictions so that the grind isn’t as easy as it seems.
You gain EXP by killing Monsters and Bosses. But the amount you gain from each of them depends on your Level, The Monster’s Level, What Difficulty you are playing in, and many more factors. You gain EXP based on a percentage. To gain the most EXP from Mobs, you and the Mob must have a Level difference of 5 Levels higher or lower. Any more or less than that will apply an EXP Penalty.
The difference between you and the Mob you are fighting greatly affects your EXP Gain which is apparent by the Chart below:
This is the amount of EXP you get for each Mob that fits in this Chart. For Levels above Level 25 it’s whole another level, pun intended. With Levels 25 to 69, there is no penalty if the Mob is a higher level than you; but if the Level is lower, then the penalty applies. The penalty percentage is the same as above if the Mob is between -6 and -10 or fewer Levels from yours. Here comes the kicker, the above penalties not only apply but each level from and after 70 has its Penalty. Yes, the EXP gain from here is gonna be miserable. Below are the penalties for each level from Level 70.
The Gain Percentages from Levels 70 to 99 are as follows:
As you can see, the EXP gain for Levels 97 & 98 in d2r is less than 1%. This is a miserable point if you haven’t been doing Leveling process correctly. To gain the proper Levels for your Character you should do these runs in this order as mentioned below.
This is how you should go about Leveling your Character to the Max Level Cap. Hopefully, this guide was helpful in your adventures in Diablo 2 Resurrected. You can also check our guides on Climbing the Ladder and Power Leveling Guide in Diablo 2 Resurrected
