Maximum Level (60)The maximum level for Diablo III is currently 60. (Though, if WoW is any indication, the max level may be raised in future expansions.) Once your character hits level 60 you stop gaining experience points, but that's when the
real fun begins because you start gaining Nephalem Valor instead.
Just to give people an idea, here are the stats for my wizard "Frostillicus" upon attaining level 60. (The stats will continue to go up as I find better equipment.) The final few levels I attained by farming the Desolate Sands, Stinging Winds, and Dahlgur Oasis outdoor areas and dungeons in Act 2 Hell difficulty.

Nephalem ValorOnce you attain level 60, whenever you kill an "Elite Pack" of monsters (i.e. a group of Champions, or a Rare and its Minions) you gain one point of Nephalem Valor for 30 minutes. Each point of Nephalem Valor gives the player a +15% bonus to Magic/Gold Find. Every pack killed resets the timer to 30 minutes and adds one point to a maximum of five, or +75% Magic/Gold Find. (This bonus stacks with Magic/Gold Find item mods and Fortune Shrines.)
Warning: Characters lose their Nephalem Valor bonus if they change any skill, skill rune, or passive skill, or if they leave the game!
