There’s a max level cap in Avowed, meaning you can’t unlock literally every ability in the game at once.
Upon leveling up, you’ll earn an ability point to upgrade your abilities or unlock a new one. Attribute points are earned every level until level 10 — from which they’re earned every other level — and can be used to improve your character’s stats. However, you cannot over-level your character to the point where they can drop meteor showers, spin like a whirlwind, and unleash a flurry of blows every other second as there is a max level cap.
Here’s the max level cap is in Avowed, plus some details about what it means to reach it.
What is the max level in Avowed?
The max level cap in Avowed is level 30. According to Game8, you’ll need to accrue 449,500 experience points to hit level 30. To see how much experience you’ve earned to-date, open the “Character” menu and find the experience section in the header.
It may be disappointing to hear there’s a level cap in Avowed, but frankly, you’ll need to do almost everything in the game — from side quests to collectibles — to even come close to reaching it. On my first playthrough, I completed every quest, found every treasure map and god totem, completed everything in the sidebar checklists, and yet, I still only reached level 28 in the final zone.
Polygon’s Avowed reviewer, meanwhile, finished the game at level 23, though they primarily focused on the main story. But, as of this writing, a different Polygon writer who’s been completing all side quests and optional content is in the penultimate area, and only at level 24.
For most players, you’ll finish Avowed below level 30. For those that do reach level 30, it’ll be in the game’s last zone, so you won’t have much time to feel the effects of any new abilities and attributes you’ve earned.
At level 30, if you respec, you’ll have 29 ability points and 27 attribute points to play around with. Depending on a few choices you made during your playthrough (like if you accept or deny the Voice’s power), you may have more points to spend. Your companions will have a maximum of eight ability points across their four abilities, but you’ll unlock all eight points before reaching level 30.
