Character Level

Character Level
Character Level will grow by completing missions and killing enemies. It is represented by a unique Inquisitorial Rosette, which marks your position within the Holy Ordos of Inquisition. New levels unlock new item types which you can find during the missions and new Psychic Powers (Psyker only), new Constructs (Tech Adept only); gaining new levels also determines how powerful rewards you receive from the Ordo armoury at the end of missions. Specific levels also unlock new Inoculator components, Perks and additional slots for both, but most importantly every level gives one (or sometimes two) Passive Skill points.

The item level of the drops is determined by the character's level, the character can obtain items that are within 2 levels from his/her level. If the player does a a lower level mission (with positive difficulty modifiers) the chances for getting lower level loot is higher, while doing higher level missions raises the chance of getting higher level items. The Inquisitor can only equip equal or lower level items than the current character level.

The current level cap is 100.

Leveling
In early game, doing the campaign with some random missions is recommended, later the best option of gaining the most experience is running Intel Missions and Void Crusades with consumables and XP gain increasing gear.
