Max level

What Is the Max Level in Minecraft Dungeons 2?

The hero level cap in Minecraft Dungeons 2 is 100. Reaching it takes 449,647 total XP from Level 1. Hero Level raises the Blacksmith upgrade cap — at Level 100 it reaches Item Power 150 — but max level does not end progression.

Different systems

Hero Level, Item Power and Difficulty Are Different

Raising Hero Level does not raise everything else with it. Three separate systems decide what your character can handle.

Hero Level

Character progression from 1 to 100, driven by XP. It sets the Blacksmith upgrade ceiling for your gear.

Item Power

Gear progression attached to a single item. It affects combat scaling and how far that piece can be upgraded.

Difficulty & Threat

Separate from Hero Level. Difficulty and Threat change enemy pressure and which loot can appear.

Hero Level and the Blacksmith

How Hero Level Affects the Blacksmith

The highest Item Power the Blacksmith can upgrade a piece to is set by your Hero Level, not by the item. This is the Blacksmith upgrade cap.

Blacksmith upgrade cap = floor(Hero Level × 1.5)

Check Your Level

Enter your Hero Level to see its Blacksmith cap, the next cap and how much XP the remaining levels cost.

Level progress and XP progress are different. Later levels cost more XP, so your level count is not a share of total XP.
