# Mastery and expansions

_What happens at the top of the ladder: Mastery stars, their titles and ring finishes, and how new levels arrive._

## Mastery stars

Level 100 is the top of the ladder for now, but your XP never stops counting. From there, every 250,000 XP you earn is a Mastery star.

Your stars show on your level ring, and the level room's Mastery tab shows how far it is to the next one. Stars never give coins: they are for pride, titles and the look of your ring.

## Titles

Stars earn titles you can show under your name: Seastar at 1 star, Starlit Keeper at 5, Moon Tide at 10, Northern Light at 25, Sea of Stars at 50 and Eternal Tide at 100.

## Ring finishes

Your level ring changes its finish as stars add up: bronze from 1 star, silver from 5, gold from 10 and pearl from 25.

## New levels

New levels arrive ten at a time in free updates. They bring new content, never more power: the sale bonus, fish slots and capacity all stop at level 100.

On the day an expansion arrives you stay at the level you had. XP you earned past the old top turns into Banked Current, up to 3 levels' worth: every XP you earn after that counts 50% more until the Current runs dry. Stars you already earned are never taken away.
