Aldrich felt power flow into him. His levels surged at a staggering rate that he did not expect.
[Experience bonus applied from clearing this quest with limitations. All experience gains doubled]
Doubled experience. Aldrich's eyes almost popped out of his cracked sockets. That was the absolute highest modifier one could reach for experience, and that was only with every single experience boosting item and consumable stacked together in the most efficient manner.
Aldrich saw his levels rise all the way up to 49. Just shy of reaching 50 when he would get access to his next trial quest and bonus passive necromancer abilities.
The levels themselves, though, were not that remarkable. They gave him more raw stats to work with, but as he had noted with his physical abilities, the stats from levels tapered off in effectiveness the higher Aldrich's level was.
