To develop your character, your character needs to have better equipments such as weapons and armors, etc... Higher items such as these require the characters to be at higher levels. As the players levels increase, they can increase the strength and defence.
Killing an monster or completing a quest gives experience points. When a user recieves such points the percentage of level completion increases. Thus when it reaches 100% the player moves to the next level.
The Blue circle denotes the current level of the player and the green circles show the current experience of the player. When the current experience reaches 100% player reaches the next level.
At every level increase, the character is given 6 skill points. These skill points can be used to increase the Attack and defence power. To view the skill points, increase the powers, level status etc... open the Character Window.
To increase the attack or defence of a character using the skill points, open the Character Window. With the help of the Skill points table below, increase the Strength/Inteligence & Dextarity by clicking the '+' button.

This could be helpful while you are hunting and you don't want to manually change the weapon or armor by opening the Inventory window. However this feature is limited to a single Item only.
