# Leveling Up Encounters will give you reputation points. Once your reputation points reach a certain threshold, you’ll be able to level up your Rank. Leveling up is at the account/Empire level. Meaning you will only need to level up your account/Empire, not individual troopers. PLEASE NOTE: Each rarity of gear has a different level requirement in order for it to be equipped. Common: Required Level 1 Rank Rare: Required Level 1 Rank Epic: Required Level 5 Rank Legendary: Required Level 10 Rank - You must make it all the way to level 10 for you to be able to equip legendary gears when performing missions or encounters. Important: Rank levels are wiped after every ladder reset! --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
