Line 1:
Killing monsters and fulfilling certain tasks will grant players '''experience''' (also known as '''xp''', '''exp''') which they can accumulate to increase their levels in [[profession]]s. Players will start a profession with zero experience, and are able to [[level]] their professions to level 500.
 
== Experience table ==
The following table shows the relationship between the profession level, the experience required for that level, and the experience difference from the previous level:

The following figures show the required experience per level and cumulative experience:

== Required experience amount breakpoints ==
Based on the above table, we can notice a few breakpoints in the experience formula:
 
For the sake of being rigorous, the following data has been observed based on an incomplete chart, not datamined.
 
 
Line 199 ⟶ 41:
Levels 201-500: the required experience per level is once again quadrupled, then every new level requires around 0,60% more experience than the previous one.
 
 
To say it differently: at level 20, you've got 4,8% of the experience to level 50, 1% of the experience to level 100, 0,13% of the experience to level 200 and 0,002% of the experience to level 500.
 
At level 100, you've got 12% of the experience to level 200, and 0,2% of the experience to level 500.
 
At level 200, you've got 1,5% of the experience to level 500.
 
At level 350, you've got 30,7% of the experience to level 500.

Levels 0-20 are certainly made easier for the sake of allowing players to explore new professions quickly.
Line 220 ⟶ 54:
 
 
'''Impact of knowledge conversion into experience:'''
'''Additional data needed:'''
 
Levels 20-200: converting one knowledge point into experience grants 25% of a level.
 
Levels 201-500: it grants 6,25% of a level. This is logical: since levels 200+ take four times more actions, having knowledge granting 25% of a level would mean post 200 leveling would rely mostly on knowledge conversion, which would feel weird for sure.
Providing exp gained per action isn't quadrupled either for levels 201+, it would be interesting to know whether converting knowledge into experience ends up being the fastest way to level past this point, considering knowledge conversion seems to be granting around 20-25% of a full level. I don't have a high level skill personally so additional data would be very helpful.
