At level 50, and every five levels thereafter, there are hard caps that prevent players from rising in level even if earned experience points would put them over the remaining required to advance. These quests remove those caps. Each quest has a level requirement to activate, players need not be at the level cap to accept and complete them. Some quests have additional requirements, see the quest articles for details.
The Japanese community refer to these quests as 限界突破クエスト ('genkai toppa quests'), or genkai for short, a term adopted by the international community and that still shows up from time to time on the wiki.
