Killing monsters and fulfilling certain tasks will grant players experience (also known as xp, exp) which they can accumulate to increase their levels in professions. Players will start a profession with zero experience, and are able to level their professions to level 500.

Experience table

The following tables shows the relationship between the profession level, the experience required for that level, and the experience difference from the previous level:

Experience figures

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

Required Experience gain for Level up Cumulative Experience per Level

Since the experience scales quite significantly, here the figures are repeated with a logarithmic exp-axis:

Cumulative Experience per Level in a logarithmic scale Required Experience gain for Level up in logarithmic scale

Required experience amount breakpoints

Based on the above table, we can notice a few breakpoints in the experience formula:

Novice

Levels 0-6 : every level requires around 2,95% more experience than the previous one;

Levels 7-12: every level still requires 2,95% more experience, but the required experience is also doubled;

Levels 13-20: again, every level requires 2,95% more experience, but it is once again doubled.

For example, going from level 13 to level 14 requires slightly more than 4x the experience required from level 4 to level 5.

Apprentice to expert

Levels 21-200: the required experience, per level, has been quintupled (explaining why you suddenly feel like you hit a wall once you are at skill level 20), and every new level from 21 to 200 requires 1,94% more experience than the previous one.

Expert to ultimate

Levels 201-500: the required experience per level is now quadrupled, then every new level requires around 0,60% more experience than the previous one.

Conclusions

Since the experience gain per action grows at a similar rate than experience needed (the percentage increase), but with no breakpoints, one can assume that the amount of actions required to level up from, let's say, 21 to 22, is the same than the one required from 198 to 199.

Levels 0-20 are certainly made easier for the sake of allowing players to explore new professions quickly, and can be seen as the introduction to a skill and its game loop.

Levels 21-200 are intended to be regular levels, requiring some dedication from the player, and setting them up for the final xp wall. Most of the game's content for a particular skill is unlocked prior to level 200.

Finally, levels 201+ encourages the player to identify and specialise in a select few skills that they would like to pursue achievements in, such as leaderboards and the ultimate cape, or for their own enjoyment.

Impact of knowledge conversion into experience

Between levels 20-200: converting one knowledge point into experience grants 25% of a level.

However, between levels 201-500, each KP grants 6,25% of a level. Given that levels 200+ take four times more actions, this means that the experience each KP gives retains the scaling from 20-200. This encourages active training and prevents KP being used to significantly skip over endgame content..

Easy battle penalty (combat)

In combat and activities which involve combat, such as Crime Dens, defeating a mob that is 11 or more levels below the player's combat level will incur an experience penalty, known as the easy battle penalty, on the experience earned from completing the activity. This penalty increases with increasing level difference.

Active combat penalty

Although the game has a display for easy battle penalty during combat initiation, this indicator is not always accurate. The experience awarded for fighting a mob of a certain level below the player's combat level can be more accurately estimated with the following formula. This is also reflected when looking at monster information cards, and is calculated using the player's current combat profession compared to the monster's combat level, even if the card of the monster being viewed is from another episode.


CurrentXP=BaseXP×0.5CM1050 rounded down to the nearest integer.


where CM100

Currrent XP XP obtained for killing the monster at your current level
Base XP Base XP awarded by the monster without penalty
C The combat profession level of the player, depending on the episode they are currently physically located in
M The combat level of the target monster


From this we can deduce that the XP penalty itself is given by the following

Penalty%=100%×(10.5CM1050)

Currently the greatest observable penalty ingame occurs when comparing a level 500 Watchperson with a level 39 Eyeless Zombie, for which the player will obtain 1xp out of the monster's 758 base experience, resulting in a 99.87% penalty correct to two decimal places.

Passive combat penalty

The player will also incur an experience penalty for fighting passive monsters below the highest tier available to them, which is summarised below.
