Prestige Mode unlocks once you hit the level cap of 80. Activate it from the ESC menu.

Choosing to Prestige will reset your character back to level 1 (your EXP is cleared and your skills are wiped and relearned from scratch) — but in exchange, your starting stats are permanently increased. Every Prestige level boosts your base Max HP, Max SP, Power and Guard by an additional 10%.

Prestige Level	Permanent Stat Bonus
1	+10%
2	+20%
5	+50%
10 (max)	+100%

You can Prestige up to 10 times. Reaching Prestige Level 5 also unlocks access to a special NPC service.

Prestige is the primary way to keep growing after the level cap — each cycle makes your character stronger from level 1 onward.
