Total level is the sum of the levels of all of a player's skills. The current maximum for members is 2,277, while the maximum for free players is 1,493 or 1,485, depending on whether members' skills (each having one level) are counted – hiscores and the total level counter include them, while free-to-play total level locked worlds do not. Total level is a common way for players to compare their stats.
With the development team announcing the implementation of a 24th skill, Sailing, new total max level is expected to increase to 2,376.
The opening page on the HiScores ranks players by their total level, then by experience. Other than when new skills have been recently released, the top ranked players in the HiScores are generally listed in order of experience rather than rank. The number one player won't have a higher level than the number two player, but certainly more experience.
Once players reach the max total level, a different set of fireworks will appear in place of the regular set of fireworks usually seen when levelling up.
In RuneScape Classic, the maximum total level was 1,782 (1,390 for free players). The addition of Runecraft (1,881), Slayer (1,980), Farming (2,079), Construction (2,178) and the latest skill, Hunter (2,277), brought the maximum total level to 2,277 (1,493 for free players).
Certain worlds require total level requirement to access.

Average skill levels for members to access these worlds are as follows (rounded up): 500 (34), 750 (50), 1250 (55), 1500 (66), 1750 (77), 2000 (87), 2200 (96). It is necessary to get more than the listed total level for the free to play total worlds, since levels in members skills (including the initial 8 if level 1 in those skills) do not count toward the total level required for the free to play worlds 381, 385 and 419.
Trivia
- The first player to reach the current maximum total level was Jebrim on 27 October 2013, 247 days after the servers were first opened.
