Selected mastery curve and the full prestige journey
Future prestige cycles are proposed; first-cycle curve published 7 September 2026
The first-cycle curve is now published. Future prestige cycles below remain proposed; resets are not enabled. The 24-hour all-eight reference scenario is a model, not a measured completion forecast.
For current level L and completed prestige count p:
f = ((L - 1) / 98)^2
a = 0.5 × p / (p + 5)
X(L,p) = 100000 × [f + a × max(f - 0.25, 0) / 0.75]
X is cumulative skill XP needed to reach L. Next-level cost is the difference between adjacent thresholds.
First-cycle reference milestones per skill: level 25 about 10.80 minutes; level 50 45 minutes; level 75 1.71 hours; level 99 3 hours. Level 50 is 25% of first-cycle XP.
Levels 1–50 keep the same requirements each cycle. Only later levels become harder. Unbonused all-eight cycles are 24h at p=0, 26h at p=1, 30h at p=5 and 32h at p=10, approaching 36h.
Reaching the tenth reset totals about 289.91 reference hours, or 281.56 hours when buying each early-XP rank as soon as possible. These model comparisons use 100% progression time and no other personal bonuses; they are not measured player forecasts.
