Power level milestones worth knowing
TipsPower level is the main measure of how strong your character has become. The game marks eight specific milestones with badges, giving you clear targets to chase as you grow.
- The first milestone is 100,000 — a solid early goal to set your sights on.
- After that the targets climb to 1,000,000 then 10,000,000.
- Further milestones sit at 25,000,000, 50,000,000, 100,000,000, and 200,000,000.
- Each milestone unlocks a badge, so you always know when you have cleared a major step.
Zeni and bounty goals
TableZeni is the game's currency, and bounty is the price on your head as a player. Both have the same ceiling.
| Zeni cap | 1,000,000, which unlocks the Millionaire! badge. |
| Bounty cap | 1,000,000, which unlocks the Most Wanted badge. |
| Bounty Hunter role | switching to it unlocks the Bounty Hunter badge immediately. |
| Bounty Hunter earnings cap | collecting 1,000,000 Zeni worth of bounties unlocks The Collector badge. |
Karma, conquering planets, and other goals
CheckBeyond power level and Zeni, the game tracks karma, age, planet conquest, and killstreaks. Each one opens a different badge.
- Push karma to its positive maximum to unlock The Just badge.
- Push karma to its negative maximum to unlock The Wicked badge.
- Conquer a planet to unlock the Conqueror badge.
- Reach an in-game age of 100 to unlock the Century badge.

Common questions
FAQHow do I open the menu?
Press TAB on keyboard, hold SELECT on Xbox, or hold the touchpad on PlayStation. Once the menu is open, go to Help to find the full list of controls and other game details.
What is the difference between bounty and being a Bounty Hunter?
Bounty is the price on your own head as a target, and it caps at 1,000,000. Becoming a Bounty Hunter flips the script — you hunt other players with bounties on them and collect Zeni as a reward, with a separate badge unlocking once you have collected 1,000,000 Zeni that way.
Which direction should I push my karma?
Both directions have a badge waiting at the extreme end. Positive maximum unlocks The Just and negative maximum unlocks The Wicked.
