Leveling up is a gameplay mechanic in Sea of Stars. It occurs when the party has accumulated enough experience points earned from battles to reach the next level. Any new party members that join throughout the game will have the same level as the rest of the party. The party starts at level 1, and the level cap is 30.

When the party levels up, the stats of all party members increase. Each party member receives an additional stat bonus from a list of four options that can be freely chosen by the player.

Level-Up Bonuses[]

Choices[]

When leveling up, the player is presented 4 out of 6 possible level-up bonuses, and selects one of them. Which bonuses are available is randomly decided. Party members who are not considered available will have their level-up bonuses automatically chosen for them by the game.

Stat Amount
HP Icon Hit Points HP +8
MP Icon Mana Points MP +1
ATK Icon Physical Attack ATK +2
DEF Icon Physical Defense DEF +3
M. ATK Icon Magic Attack M. ATK +2
M. DEF Icon Magic Defense M. DEF +3

Predetermination[]

For LV. 2, while the presentation order of the level-up bonuses is randomized, the 4 available options are fixed, for LV. 2 only. Note that it is only possible to choose the LV. 2 bonus for Zale and Valere, though this data exists for all party members. Garl is also possible by utilizing the local co-op bubble to skip the battle with the 3 Training Croubes in Zenith Academy, and then by subsequently avoiding the Luslug battles in the Forbidden Cavern.

Party Member Available Bonuses at LV. 2 Note
Zale MP, ATK, DEF, M. ATK -
Valere HP, MP, ATK, M. DEF -
Garl HP, MP, ATK, M. DEF Local co-op only
Seraï HP, MP, ATK, M. DEF Illegal, lowest-possible join level is 5
Resh'an HP, MP, M. ATK, M. DEF Illegal, lowest-possible join level is 8
B'st HP, MP, ATK, M. DEF Illegal, lowest-possible join level is 11

Pool[]

The number of times a specific level-up bonus can be chosen for each party member is a fixed amount. Zale and Resh'an have the same pools, Valere and Garl have the same pools, and Seraï and B'st have the same pools.

Party Member HP MP ATK DEF M. ATK M. DEF
Zale 5 times 5 times 4 times 5 times 5 times 5 times
Valere 5 times 5 times 5 times 5 times 4 times 5 times
Garl 5 times 5 times 5 times 5 times 4 times 5 times
Seraï 5 times 4 times 5 times 5 times 5 times 5 times
Resh'an 5 times 5 times 4 times 5 times 5 times 5 times
B'st 5 times 4 times 5 times 5 times 5 times 5 times

XP to Next[]

Upon completion of a battle, the game displays earned XP and "XP to next." The latter value is the amount of XP required to reach the next level. When "XP to next" reaches 0, the party levels up.

The values that the game displays for earned XP and "XP to next" are inflated values rather than the true values. If the party does not level up, the displayed values are derived from the internal XP multiplied by 2 then multiplied by the party level (internal XP * 2 * party level = displayed XP). If the party levels up, displayed earned XP becomes more complicated to calculate, as it becomes the sum of the internal XP multiplied among multiple party levels; displayed "XP to next" is 0 when leveling up, and the new "XP to next" is an in-game unknown until additional XP is earned.

40,630 total internal XP is required to reach LV. 30. While the "displayed" values for "XP to next" are misleading and cannot merely be added together like the internal values can, they are included here for encyclopedic purposes.

Party Member Stats[]

Base Stats[]

Each party member has fixed base stats for each party level from 1 to 30. Equipped weapons, armor, trinkets, and party trinkets, enabled relics, level-up bonuses, and spa bonuses alter these values from their initial states.

The base stats presented here do not consider equipped weapons, armor, trinkets, or party trinkets, nor enabled relics, nor level-up bonuses, nor spa bonuses. Due to level-up bonuses being unavoidable, and weapons being alterable but not unequippable, it is not possible to view these base stats under normal conditions. Furthermore, it is not normally possible for Seraï, Resh'an, or B'st to join at LV. 1, though LV. 1-30 stat values exist for all party members.

Endgame Stats[]

No Equipment[]

While considering level-up bonuses and spa bonuses but while ignoring equipment, these are the stats party members have at LV. 30. Note that these are idealized stats because weapons are alterable but not unequippable.

Party Member HP MP ATK DEF M. ATK M. DEF
Zale 249 22 108 73 124 75
Valere 252 26 126 75 106 73

Seraï 234 22 123 74 113 74
Resh'an 260 28 106 76 119 88
B'st 325 20 159 80 109 80

Best Weapons and Armor[]

While considering level-up bonuses, spa bonuses, and the best-possible weapons and armor, but while ignoring trinkets, party trinkets, and relics, these are the stats party members have at LV. 30. Note that it is not possible to obtain a 2nd Cosmic Cape without New Game +. On a regular playthrough, either Seraï or Resh'an would have to wear the Sparkmesh Cape as their next-best armor, sacrificing 2 DEF and 6 M. DEF.
