I'm curious as to the minimum level needed to be effective in lusternia - from a non-combat point of view. I know technically you don't need levels to RP, but you need level 30 to do family, level 50 to get mentor. What sorts of level benefits are at what levels?

Basicly, I'm not the biggest fan of bashing .

Well, the main benifits are increase health, mana and ego plus higher chances of doing criticals everytime you bash.

Oh, lessons though up to 70 though, 80 and above are kinda useless with their 5 per level lesson.

And oh, one more thing, 80 is the magic number if you don't want to sleep and eat.

50 is VERY easy to get even with minimal effort. No need to bash - just do quests in villages, your org's power quest, whatever.

70 is easy to get too, and it's a solid milestone (no more free bound credits by that point), but it requires some effort.

Levels are generally harder to get past 70, but before it you should have a relatively easy ride.

EDIT: All the hard-coded benefits for high levels have been mentioned though. 50 for mentor, 30 for marriage, 80 for not getting hungry and sleepy. And of course, 99 for titan/100 for demigod. But I don't think you'd be interested in that, at least for now.
