Basic Cultivation (Consumer) levels in THE

- Nine Levels - all levels have the abilities of the previous

---

- Levels divided into three bands - Cultivator, Immortal and Transcendent

---

- Nine ranks in each level - First through Ninth.

* First three ranks of each level considered low rank

* Fourth through Six of each level considered mid rank

* Seventh and Eighth of each level considered true rank

* Ninth Rank considered of each level peak rank

---

- Low, Mid, True and Peak also used to classify levels within each band

------

- Mastery levels for professions - Alchemist/Pill Master, Formations Master, Forging Master, etc.

* Novice - Low Level Master (mortal)

* Apprentice - Mid Level Master (Earth)

* Master - True Level Master (Sky)

* Sage - Peak Master (World)

Example: Ming says she is Second Earth as a Formations Master - therefore is officially a Low rank, Mid Level Apprentice Formations Master. 'Second Earth' or 'Third Sky' sounds better, so people tend to use that format when talking about Cultivation levels or Mastery.
