Character Level & Experience
Understand current-Level XP, increasing requirements, overflow, Level Ups, and the distinction from Social Status.
What is XP?
Experience Points (XP) represent a character's accumulated practical experience. Characters currently earn XP by completing eligible work shifts. XP increases numerical Character Level, and each later Level requires more XP.
How XP is Earned
Completing eligible work shifts awards the XP shown in the employment register. Completing a General Studies course also awards its displayed XP once.
Reading Your XP Progress
The display 140 / 1,400 XP means 140 XP has been earned within the current Level and 1,400 XP is required to reach the next Level.
The progress bar shows the same ratio. In this example, 140 divided by 1,400 is 10% progress toward the next Level.
Leveling Up
When current-Level XP reaches its requirement, Character Level increases by one. Overflow always carries forward.
- A sufficiently large reward may cross several Levels in one award.
- Unused XP is never intentionally discarded during normal leveling.
- Level 1 begins at 12 / 15 XP.
- The character receives +10 XP.
- The result is Level 2 at 7 / 20 XP.
XP Requirements
These values are generated from the same progression definition used by gameplay. Requirements continue increasing beyond Level 15.
| Current → Next Level | XP Required |
|---|---|
| Level 1 → 2 | 15 XP |
| Level 2 → 3 | 20 XP |
| Level 3 → 4 | 80 XP |
| Level 4 → 5 | 140 XP |
| Level 5 → 6 | 475 XP |
| Level 6 → 7 | 700 XP |
| Level 7 → 8 | 1,000 XP |
| Level 8 → 9 | 1,400 XP |
| Level 9 → 10 | 1,900 XP |
| Level 10 → 11 | 2,500 XP |
| Level 11 → 12 | 3,200 XP |
| Level 12 → 13 | 4,000 XP |
| Level 13 → 14 | 5,000 XP |
| Level 14 → 15 | 6,200 XP |
Character Level vs Social Status
Character Level represents accumulated experience. Social Status represents a character's position and advancement within Dunmore Territory society.
Increasing Character Level does not automatically promote Social Status. A Level 15 character may remain a Citizen until the requirements for Skilled Worker are completed. Social Status requirements remain documented in the Social Status guide.
Independent life experience
Manual workshop completion gives 5 Character XP per recipe run; employee-operated production gives no owner XP. Real NPC victories give 15 Character XP per difficulty level. Practice and lessons develop weapon discipline instead of Character Level. None automatically promotes Social Status.
