Every 2,500 Total Levels there is a level gate. When you reach one, your EXP holds at the edge of leveling until you have collected enough Ascension Points (AP): 500 AP at the first three gates (9,999, 12,499 and 14,999), 1,000 AP from 17,499 onwards. You can start early: from 249 levels below a gate (e.g. Total Level 9,750 for the 9,999 gate) you can already earn up to half of that gate's AP. Your next level-up then breaks through the gate, your AP goes back to 0 and you get a permanent +1% Rare Drop Rate. Nothing is lost while you wait: the first kill after reaching the AP you need levels you up.
These gates replaced the old @bonus soft caps (see Level Cap & EXP Table). Type @ascension (or @levelcap / @levelprogress) in-game to see your next gate, your AP and how much AP you have earned today from each source.
| Gate (held at) | Unlocks | Needed | Pre-gate AP (from level) | Rare Drop Rate after |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total Level 9,999 | Total Level 10,000 | 500 AP | up to 250 AP (from 9,750) | +1% |
| Total Level 12,499 | Total Level 12,500 | 500 AP | up to 250 AP (from 12,250) | +2% |
| Total Level 14,999 | Total Level 15,000 | 500 AP | up to 250 AP (from 14,750) | +3% |
| Total Level 17,499 | Total Level 17,500 | 1,000 AP | up to 500 AP (from 17,250) | +4% |
| Total Level 19,999 | Total Level 20,000 | 1,000 AP | up to 500 AP (from 19,750) | +5% |
| Total Level 22,499 | Total Level 22,500 | 1,000 AP | up to 500 AP (from 22,250) | +6% |
| ... and so on every 2,500 levels, with no end. | ||||
Already past a gate? You lose no levels. Your next gate is simply the next one above your level, and every gate below your level already counts for the Rare Drop Rate bonus.

With Ascension Tiers, Mu Lung Dojo @bonus farming is no longer held back by your level: no @bonus cap based on your Total Level and no level lock. The only limit left is the 99,999% maximum per @bonus stat (125,000% with a DP rate buff). Wearing a Firestarter Ring inside a burning @instance raises the EXP maximum to 110,000% (only when no DP rate buff is active - the DP buff wins). Example: a level 5,000 player can farm all the way up to 99,999% @bonus EXP.
