The level system
Boosts assigned to level progression unlock Level 1 at 2 boosts, Level 2 at 7, and Level 3 at 14. Each higher level includes the lower-level perks plus additional benefits.
Use this hub to understand how boosts work before you decide what your server needs. The level system and newer additional-perk allocations are related, but they are not the same thing.
No keyword soup. Just the part that changes the decision.

Discord also allows separate boost allocations for certain perks. Server Tags and Enhanced Role Styles currently use 3 boosts each, and Game Server Hosting can use 3 or more depending on the option.
Admins can reallocate boosts between level progression and additional perks. Moving boosts away from a level can eventually remove level perks, while removing boosts from an additional perk disables that perk immediately.
