Total Level

Template:Infobox system Total Level is the combined progression measure in Kintara, calculated from a player's five core skills. It determines access to level-gated zones and reflects overall character development.

How it works

Total Level is not a single number — it is the average level across the five core skills. Each core skill is capped at level 30, giving a maximum possible Total Level of 30.

Rule	Details
Core skills counted	Combat, Woodcutting, Mining, Fishing, Cooking
Bonus skill (not counted)	Smithing — does not count toward Total Level
Level cap per skill	30
Maximum Total Level	30

Level gates

Certain zones require a minimum Total Level (average skill level) to enter. Players below the threshold are blocked from accessing the area.

Zone	Minimum Total Level	Notes
Frostmere	20	Level-gated calm zone. Access to Smithing and Metal ore.
The Shores	20	Ocean fishing zone. Source of rare mounts and fish.
Emberstone	25	Lava PvP biome. Magma Brute mobs and rare drops.

Raising Total Level

Since Total Level is an average, the fastest way to raise it is to train whichever of your five core skills is currently lowest. Neglecting any one skill slows overall progression even if others are maxed.

Skill	How to train	XP per action
Combat	Fight Wild Zombies, Wild Dragons, or PvP in the Wilderness	50–150 per kill
Woodcutting	Chop trees in the Wilderness with an Axe	25 per tree (50 with Lvl 2 Axe)
Mining	Mine stone, coal, and metal nodes with a Pickaxe	25 per node (50 with Lvl 2 Pickaxe)
Fishing	Fish at The Pond or The Shores with a Fishing Rod	125 per catch
Cooking	Cook fish or chicken at roast pits in The Pond or Whisperwood	125 per cook batch
