The max level cap in Assassins Creed Shadows is so high you might not even need to worry about it.In general, your level determines the equipment you can use, the in addition to the rating of your base stats, like health. The weapons and armor you find plus the enemies you run into will scale in level alongside Naoe and Yasuke. Thankfully, at least the two share experience points and level progress, so you only need to keep track of one experience meter!Heres what the max level cap is in Assassins Creed Shadows, and a rundown on what we learned during our playtime regarding leveling up.What is the max level in Assassins Creed Shadows?The max level cap in Assassins Creed Shadows appears to be 60, based on how Forge upgrades work at your Hideout.You can upgrade rooms at your Hideout. As described in the game, when your Forge is upgraded to its highest rank, it allows you to upgrade weapons and armor to level 60, indicating thats the highest level in the game. This number tracks contextually with how much of the game weve played so far, as of this writing, and is aligned with other players whove reported a similar max level.Getting to level 60 is no small feat, though. After 62 hours, weve finished the main story, completed a bunch of optional activities (like Lost Pages and Kuji-kiri), and still only reached level 50. As a result, it stands to reason itd take you a considerable amount of time to reach level 50. At this point, the regions have scaled to level 46, and equipment at level 51 and level 52 has started to appear.By level 50, it takes around 18,000 experience points to level up. Naoes flat stats are 945 Health and 492 Attack Damage, while Yasukes are 2,211 Health and 985 Attack Damage. Moreover, equipped with a gear set and weapons around this level, Naoe reaches 3,947 Health and 1,969 Attack Damage, while Yasuke gets 9,104 Health and 3,784 Attack Damage.So far, weve earned 294 mastery points, but this is also the result of a focus on clearing castles. Each castle features a number of Samurai Daisho; youll get one mastery points for every Samurai Daisho you assassinate. Because of that, the numbers may vary depending on how much time you spend clearing castles.Completing castles is great for leveling up, though, since they generally give you a lot of experience (and, as a bonus, reward you with rare gear). But the biggest source of experience in the game is hunting all of the targets in one single board of your Objectives menu. Doing so involves completing a final quest. In the end, you may earn around 10,000 experience points.But if you want some quick missions to complete and earn a little bit of experience, you should consider taking advantage of Contracts and Anomalies not just for experience, but for bonus materials and mon as well.Just starting Assassins Creed Shadows?
