# Soul Levels 256–713
## Soul Levels 256–713
*Beyond Base Level 255, every new level becomes Grace waiting to be shaped.*
**Soul Levels 256–713** are EldenRO's advanced character progression stage. The character continues gaining Base Levels through the Bonfire, while each level above 255 increases **Elden Level**.
Elden Level represents the character's Rune Point progression.
{% hint style="info" %}
**Base Level 256 = Elden Level 1**
At the current maximum Base Level 713, Elden Level reaches **458**.
{% endhint %}

## System Summary
| Property | Current Rule |
| ---------------------------------- | ------------------ |
| **Starting Base Level** | 256 |
| **Maximum Base Level** | 713 |
| **Maximum Elden Level** | 458 |
| **Progression Resource** | Zeny |
| **Leveling Option** | `Level up` |
| **Rune Allocation** | `Channel Grace` |
| **Rune Status** | `View Rune Status` |
| **Traditional Base EXP from 256+** | 0 |
***
## Base Level and Elden Level
The relationship is:
> **Elden Level = Base Level − 255**
Examples:
| Base Level | Elden Level |
| ---------: | ----------: |
| **255** | 0 |
| **256** | 1 |
| **300** | 45 |
| **400** | 145 |
| **500** | 245 |
| **600** | 345 |
| **700** | 445 |
| **713** | 458 |
The intended Rune Point budget follows Elden Level: every Base Level above 255 represents one point of advanced progression.
***
## Gaining Soul Levels
Soul Levels continue using the same Bonfire option:
> `Level up`
The Bonfire:
1. Reads the current Base Level.
2. Calculates the price of each requested target level.
3. Adds the complete cost.
4. Displays the final price.
5. Deducts Zeny after confirmation.
6. Increases Base Level.
The confirmation options remain:
* `Accept the burden`
* `Walk away`
Traditional Base EXP is configured as **0 from Base Level 256 onward**, so this stage is driven through the Bonfire rather than normal EXP gain.
***
## Soul Level Costs
Representative current costs:
| Target Base Level | Zeny Required |
| ----------------: | ------------: |
| **256** | 567,846 |
| **300** | 853,547 |
| **400** | 1,823,125 |
| **500** | 3,335,103 |
| **600** | 5,509,481 |
| **700** | 8,466,259 |
| **713** | 8,914,366 |
### Cumulative Cost from Base Level 255
| Destination | Total Zeny |
| ------------- | ----------------: |
| **255 → 300** | 31,700,376 |
| **255 → 400** | 161,999,191 |
| **255 → 500** | 415,647,106 |
| **255 → 600** | 852,944,121 |
| **255 → 700** | 1,546,190,236 |
| **255 → 713** | **1,659,371,785** |
{% hint style="warning" %}
Soul Levels use the same increasing Zeny formula as Bonfire Levels.
Buying several levels together does not reduce their individual costs.
{% endhint %}
***
## Rune Attributes
The Bonfire currently defines seven Rune attributes.
| Rune | Effect Shown per Rank |
| --------------------- | ------------------------- |
| **Vitality Rune** | +150 Max HP |
| **Mind Rune** | +30 Max SP |
| **Strength Rune** | +2 ATK |
| **Intelligence Rune** | +2 MATK |
| **Endurance Rune** | +20 Weight Limit |
| **Grace Rune** | +0.10% Neutral Resistance |
| **Discovery Rune** | +0.05% Drop Power |
Rune ranks are separate from traditional Ragnarok Online stats.
For example, **Strength Rune** represents direct ATK progression; it is not traditional STR.
***
## Channel Grace
Select:
> `Channel Grace`
The Bonfire displays:
* Elden Level.
* Rune Points spent.
* Rune Points available.
The current Rune menu contains:
* `Vitality Rune`
* `Mind Rune`
* `Strength Rune`
* `Intelligence Rune`
* `Endurance Rune`
* `Grace Rune`
* `Discovery Rune`
* `Leave`
After selecting a Rune, the Bonfire shows its current rank and listed effect per rank.
Enter the number of Rune Points to invest, then confirm with:
> `Accept the Grace`
or cancel with:
> `Walk away`
A successful investment recalculates the character's stats immediately.
***
## View Rune Status
Select:
> `View Rune Status`
to display:
* Elden Level.
* Rune Points spent.
* Rune Points available.
* Current rank of all seven Rune attributes.
* The bonus category associated with each Rune.
This menu does not spend Rune Points.
***
## Maximum Progression
Base Level **713** is the current configured maximum for the advanced trans-class progression group.
At Base Level 713:
> **Elden Level = 458**
This represents a maximum intended budget of **458 Rune Points** generated by progression beyond Base Level 255.
***
