Enshrouded 1.0 level cap and returning-player checklist

Player level and gear level are different

Progression track	1.0 ceiling
Character	Level 50
Fully upgraded equipment	Level 55

Do not use a weapon’s level as a target for your character experience bar. These are separate progression tracks, so reaching the character cap does not imply that all equipment improvements are finished.

Check your build before leaving home

Existing saves receive a skill-tree reset on the first 1.0 load. Reassign those points before judging whether your old build still works. A returning character with unspent points is a different test from a fully rebuilt character.

Before heading out, inspect your skills, review your equipment and prepare supplies for the next area.

Where the new journey leads

The complete map adds Cinder’s Cradle beyond Veilwater Basin. New Hollow Halls also appear in Albaneve Summits and Veilwater Basin. Treat destination access and your character’s readiness as separate checks: knowing where to go does not mean your current loadout is ready for it.
