Just short of 202, same as you just doing day and weekly stuff, I've done a few of those invader events but most of the plans are rubbish so I'm not going OTT for it.

Up to a certain level you are always upgrading your "deck" which is a set of cards that define your character, I think around lvl 550 you have all of the options/slots open so it takes a while to do. Once you have done that then yeah it is kind of willy waving lol.
More time usually means more plans available, more events done usually means you can build a better camp/customise your player with the plans you get, some plans are rare so take more time to get unless you get jammy. There are 4 seasons in the year which give rewards for doing daily and weekly quests, the points you get from that you can spend on a scoreboard which unlocks at different levels, again depending on how well you do in the quests.
Honestly I'm not selling it very well.
Levels are different from Rank. I'm currently level 480ish and rank 200.
Levels are the normal level ups. Every 5 level ups you get a pack of perk cards which will allow you to upgrade existing perks, add new perks, or swap in one perk for another. I have several loadouts of perks depending if I'm using a chainsaw, bow, flame based weapons, making/repairing weapons, making/repairing armour and so on.
Rank is to do with the current 'season'. Every three months or so there's a new long event thing. You are given daily and weekly quests to get 'score' which levels you up the ranks. As you go up the ranks you get a small amount of tickets per rank, and you can spend some tickets to get items that may well only appear for that season. You get access to new items every 10 ranks or there abouts. Rank 100 is the top normal rank. If you continue to 150, you get access to a a few items that are consumables, but you can redeem as many as you have tickets for. Then you can continue ranking up for as long as you have time before the event ends. Current one will probably end mid December.
As for benefits, more levels means more perk cards to upgrade or choose from. Up to a point. Once you're past 500 you probably know and have upgraded everything you want or need to.
I timed how long to do today's dailies and the new weeklies.
An hour and 13 minutes.
Although I did re-roll the collect however many teddies and soap quests and the 10 events when well fed. Not doing those. Did get bumped to rank 205 too.

Ive just transferred my fallout 76 from bethesda to Steam, yes i'm late i know! I'm only seeing the option to buy on Steam, im guessing thats because i haven't transferred in time?
As far as I'm aware it should just work. Did for me, but then again I did it as soon as it was available.
Season 19 starts December 3rd.
Roadmap time...
So the perk card changes are going ahead as of 3rd December with the new update.
The Gleaming Depths update releases with some substantial balancing changes to a handful of Perk Cards. We wanted to make sure you had a heads up on what’s changing so that you can prepare your builds for the update.
Our goal was to take generally underperforming perks and make them more interesting and easier to incorporate into your builds by removing some extra ranks, lowering the cost, and changing their effect to scale with the related primary state.
Here’s a look at the Perk Card changes that are arriving with The Gleaming Depths update:
Going to have to spend some time once the changes go ahead. Going to screw up a couple of my setups certainly. Some of the things moving to endurance make sense tbh, but it's going to screw me over for a bit. Will absolutely have to keep Starched Genes

Oh wow, my decks will need changing too. Only just sorted my deck and working to find Herbivore and egghead serums.
It was interesting reading the above posts, level 550 for full deck completion. Me and a friend are a long ways off lol.

I sell all of the serums in my camp, if I'm on give me a shout and I'll drop some for you.
New decks look interesting, everyone needs to change them I'd say.

Oh that sounds fantastic! Thank you.
OK, remember to spend all your season tickets before the server goes offline tomorrow for the update.
They do not roll over. Each season starts from 0. You will lose any you haven't spent!
Not even going to plan any perk loadout changes until I get the perks in front of me. Oh, and perk loadout manager is working again.
