Total level

Total level is the sum of the levels of all of a player's Skills. The current maximum for members is 2376, which has only been achieved by 58 players (as of 11 August 2008). The maximum for free players is 1494 (although mainly everyone trains a member skill before having reached the highest possible free total level). Total level is a common way for players to compare their stats.

The opening page on the Hiscores ranks players by their total level, then by experience. Before the Summoning update (15 January 2008), the top overall generally went by experience as much as level. Currently to be in the hiscore requires more than 629 total level, or exactly 629 level with more than 1,002,000 experience. (Rounded up)

After the updates on 21 May 2008, players would be informed when their total levels reached important milestones.
