How to get experience?
What affects gaining experience?
- When leveling on mobs, the difference between your HP and the enemy’s HP matters: the stronger the enemy, the more experience you get. You can determine the farming efficiency by the mob’s color:
- Green — the mob is weak, minimum experience;
- Yellow — optimal balance;
- Red — maximum experience, but the fight will be hard.
- Premium — +15% to experience for quests, crafting, and kills;
- Clan bonuses — skills for fast learning give +3–10% for killing mobs, and the PvP perk gives +5% for killing players;
- Class skills — for example, Engineer gets up to +15%;
- Day/night cycle — increased experience for quests, crafting, and kills from 22:00 to 05:30 in-game time.
How much experience is needed to reach a level?
How does leveling up affect the character?
- More skill points: each level gives 1 point to unlock general and class skills;
- Additional stat points at every 5th (or 10th) level;
- Increases maximum Stamina;
- Increases maximum Health;
- Increases maximum carry weight (up to level 30);
- Unlocks the ability to use more powerful weapons, improved armor, and more complex equipment;
- Grants access to higher-level locations.
How much health and stamina will the character have?
Theoretical calculation of the character’s health and stamina values. Deviations are possible (within 0.5%–1%), which is due to rounding within the game itself or slight differences in growth coefficients.

Analysis of the required XP growth pattern by levels
Below is a graph that illustrates the dependence of the character’s level (from 1 to 50) on the amount of experience required to level up:
The graph clearly shows that the distribution of the required experience for leveling up is uneven. At the same time, reaching levels 35 and 50 happens faster due to a decrease (a slower growth) in the required experience.
You can try to find a mathematical model. For this, the following are usually applied:
- Polynomial functions (for example, quadratic or cubic).
- Exponential functions (growth of the form y=a⋅b^x).
Both models describe the XP growth well, but the exponential one is better suited for displaying a sharp increase at high levels.
Prospects for introducing character level 100
The game files already contain data for leveling a character from level 1 to 100. However, there is no point in dwelling on this in detail, since the developers do not plan to raise the current 50-level cap.
For the curious: upon reaching level 100, the character would receive 59 skill points and 13 stat points. Reaching level 50 requires 48 885 485 XP (from level 50 to 100 – 12 298 510 995 XP).
