1) When Arcane Legends first was released (November 2012), the highest level was 16. So during that first month (called "season 1"), the only dungeons were Blackenridge & Ydra Forest. It took regular amount of XP to get to every level up to 15, but then to get to level 16 it took 16k XP. Level 16 was called the "cap level". Anyone who reached level 16 during the first season was given a special vanity banner.
2) Then in mid-December, there was an expansion and the Dead City dungeons were added. This was the beginning of "season 2" and the max level was raised to 21. Normal amounts of XP were needed to get to each level up to 20. Then to get to level 21, you needed 20k XP (I think it was 20k). If you reached level 21 during season 2, you received a special vanity banner.
3) Then in mid-February, there was an expansion and the Kraken Isles dungeons and Paradise town were added. This was the beginning of "season 3" and the max level was raised to 26. Normal amounts of XP were needed to get to each level up to 25. Then to get to level 26 you needed 24k XP (I think this was the amount). If you reached level 26 during season 3, you received a special vanity banner.
4) Then in mid-April, there was an expansion and the Nordr dungeons and the Stronghold town were added. This was the beginning of "season 4" and the max level was raised to 31. This is the current season we are in. And now you need 26k XP to reach level 31, and if you reach that level before the end of season 4, you will receive a special vanity banner.
And so on. Every season repeats this pattern. The amount of XP to reach the "cap level" usually increases slightly with every campaign. The main reason to reach cap level is that you get slightly higher stats, and you can use all the elite gear. As you probably know, all of the elite mythic and arcane gear from each campaign is for the cap level. For example, mythic armor, amulet and ring are all level 31 items, and so is the arcane warrior hammer. So if you don't reach cap level, no way you can equip those better items. So you will not be very effective in PvP and will probably even have some issues in PvE. Most hardcore players make sure to reach cap level every season. But that is a choice for you to make for yourself.
