Level
The Obelisk Level corresponds to the Dome’s radius. Obelisk Shards are used to increase your Obelisk level and the radius of the dome. The Obelisk Shards are obtained by completing Milestones, Trader or Villager quests, and Daily Quests.
The higher the level of your Dome, the greater the radius of its protection. At Level 1 the radius is 5 meters and increases by 5 with each level until it caps at 50 meters at Level 10. as shown below.
