Max Level & Skill Caps in The Lantern of the Laughless Saint

What is the max level?

The official launch material reviewed for this page does not confirm a single overall character-level cap. Some player discussion may refer to individual skill values, but that is not enough to state that the entire character has a confirmed max level of a particular number.

The correct launch answer is: the overall cap has not yet been verified for this wiki. This page will add a value only when it is supported by an official source or clearly documented, reproducible in-game evidence for the current build.

Which progression systems are confirmed?

The Steam Early Access section says the current build includes fully featured spell crafting and alchemy. It also says those systems are among the mechanics planned for further expansion during development.

That gives players a reliable starting point:

• Spell crafting and alchemy are current systems, not merely future plans.
• Their exact balance, recipes, and best builds can change while the game is in Early Access.
• Character progression should be documented separately from a claimed global level cap unless a source links them.

How should you read early build advice?

Prefer advice that names the game version, describes a use case, and separates facts from recommendations. For example, “spell crafting exists” is an official feature claim; “this is the strongest build” needs current testing and may change after a balance update.

The developer plans regular updates every one to two weeks during Early Access. Treat any numerical cap, build recommendation, or recipe route as time-sensitive until it has a clear version and source.

What will this page track later?

When verified data becomes available, this page can track character-level behavior, individual skill caps, unlock requirements, spell crafting inputs, alchemy systems, and build interactions. Until then, browse the beginner guide for confirmed systems and avoid treating autocomplete suggestions as game facts.
