Every time you reach your Experience to level, you gain a game level. And is represented by a number.

Your game level does a few things, the higher it is, the less chance you have of failing to use a weapon. Also your game level is used in a LOT more other formulas.

Basically the higher your game level, the easier it will be to do things.

Note: Game Level is not the same as your Total Post Rank. The game level is of lesser importance than the Total Post Rant, because it can be reset at any time by changing your profession.

A new game level will also give you one skill point.
