To level teleport (or levelport) is to teleport to another level (as opposed to somewhere else on one's current level). This is extremely dangerous without teleport control, as it can deposit you just about anywhere (including below the point you are equipped to handle safely), but with teleport control it is an incredibly useful tool.
When arriving at a level by means of levelporting, you are placed randomly on the level, unless the teleport region is restricted in the special level file. Therefore it is a useful tool for entering Moloch's Sanctum due to the chance of it placing you near the altar and the high priest of Moloch.
Level teleportation can be achieved by:
- a cursed scroll of teleportation (or reading the scroll while confused, regardless of beatitude)
- the level teleport trap
- #invoking the Orb of Fate
Restrictions on level teleporting
- You cannot level teleport from or into Fort Ludios.
- The Quest branch has its own separate level numbers. You cannot levelport into or out of the Quest branch, and any controlled levelport inside the branch uses the Quest level numbers (so "1" is the Home level and "3" is the Locate level, even if the Quest portal is on level 14). You cannot levelport below level 1 until you have permission to begin the Quest.
- You cannot levelport from above the Valley of the Dead to below it; you will end up in the Valley instead. You can levelport from below the Valley to above it, and may levelport into the Valley from any level, or to any level from the Valley.
- You cannot levelport into Moloch's Sanctum until you perform the Invocation.
- You cannot levelport while carrying the Amulet of Yendor.
- You cannot levelport in the Endgame, except in Wizard mode. Even in Wizard mode, you can only levelport to the next or further Planes.
- Levelporting to level 0 or a negative level will irretrievably end the game, for one of several reasons. This is only possible with teleport control; an uncontrolled levelport will never take you above level 1. The exception is in Wizard mode, where levelporting to -1 through -5 takes you to the appropriate Plane.

- The Eye of the Aethiopica allows a related technique known as branchporting.
