Experience

Experience points, commonly abbreviated as "xp" or "exp" is a unit of skill gained for character advancement, by way of climbing a ladder of levels. Advancing, or in Nodekian terms, "gaining" to the next level requires a fixed amount of experience points which is determined by a formula and viewable with the command levels.

Gaining experience levels gives tangible benefits: increased stats, inventory slots, pools, and more. Gaining levels allows players to take on greater challenges. The primary way of gaining experience is from killing mobs, other PC, or completing quests. Additional ways of gaining experiences comes from running with lower-leveled and significantly rank players, participating in The Citadel competitions, and role-play.

The current experience cap is 2 billion, up from 1 billion when Nodeka originally launched. There is no "rested experience" like in some RPGs/MMOs, rather a system of "run-time" is used: the first hour of every 24-hour period is given at 300% experience; the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th hours give 150% experience, and then 100% until hour 9. After that, there are penalties for running, with subsequent hours giving 50%, 25%, and all the way down to 5%. After the run-time prevention runs down (or is reset using a glacious stone), a new "day" starts, giving the full bonus before ticking down again. This system was implemented to help curb botting.

Experience to Level

Each level requires a certain amount of experience before a player can voluntarily gain a level and all of the benefits which come with it. The amount of experience to the next level is pre-determined and increases as you gain remort tiers. There was one major level re-balancing, during the player wipe period, where the required experience to level was greatly increased.
