Prestige

Let members reset XP and continue progressing with prestige ranks.

Prestige

Prestige lets members reset their XP back to 0 in exchange for increasing their prestige count. It is useful for servers where active members reach high levels and need a longer-term progression goal.

Prestige is a Server Premium feature.

How Prestige Works

When a member prestiges:

  • Their XP is reset to 0.
  • Their prestige count increases by 1.
  • Their level is recalculated from 0 XP.
  • Prestige can be shown on rank cards, used in leaderboards, and used for rewards.

Members can prestige manually with /prestige once they meet the XP requirement.

If Automatic Prestige is enabled, Kiai will prestige members automatically when they earn enough XP.

Settings

Prestige settings can be found in /settings > Prestige.

  • Prestige: Enables or disables the prestige system.
  • Automatic Prestige: Automatically prestiges members when they reach the requirement.
  • Custom Prestige Name: Changes the name shown for prestige on rank cards, such as Tier or Ascension.
  • Prestige Requirement Formula: Controls how much XP is required for the next prestige.

The default requirement formula is:

12 * ((50 + ({prestige} * 10)) * (50 + ({prestige} * 10))) + (50 + ({prestige} * 10)) * 12

{prestige} represents the member's current prestige.

With the default formula:

  • Prestige 0 requires Level 50 worth of XP.
  • Prestige 1 requires Level 60 worth of XP.
  • Prestige 2 requires Level 70 worth of XP.
  • Each prestige adds another 10 levels worth of XP to the requirement.

You can use the XP Calculator to test prestige formulas.

Prestige Rewards

When prestige is enabled, rewards can target both a prestige and a level.

Example: A role reward for Prestige 2, Level 10 will only apply after a member has prestiged twice and reached Level 10 again.

This lets you build reward paths that continue past the first leveling cycle.

If Automatic Prestige is enabled, members prestige as soon as they reach the requirement. Rewards above that prestige's requirement level cannot be reached, so Kiai blocks those reward requirements instead of letting skipped rewards fire.

If prestige is disabled later, Kiai preserves the stored prestige requirements on rewards. While disabled, rewards behave as level-only rewards until prestige is enabled again.

Prestige Leaderboard

Use /leaderboard and choose Prestige to view members ranked by prestige and XP.

The normal XP leaderboard also accounts for prestige when prestige is enabled, so members with a higher prestige rank appear above members with lower prestige.

Prestige leaderboards are only available for the all-time period.

Level-up Message Placeholder

Level-up messages support the {prestige} placeholder. Use it to show a member's current prestige in custom level-up messages.

Example:

{user} reached level {level} at prestige {prestige}!

Prestige is best for communities where members consistently reach higher levels and need a reason to keep earning XP after completing the normal progression curve.
