EXPERIENCE LEVEL LEVELS XP RANKING LEVELING TNL (96)
Experience (xp) can be earned in several ways:
- Being part of a group that kills an NPC
- Improving songs, skills, or spells
- Completing some quests
- Successfully raiding other cabals, or retrieving your own cabal's item
- Exploring the world (See EXPLORATION)
- Profitable business (See COMMERCE)
- Noticing obscure or important places, people, and things (See OBSERVATION)
- As a reward from an Immortal
- Personal milestones, such as joining a cabal for the first time
The experience you get from combat will depend on several things, including:
how many players are in your group, your level versus the level of the NPC,
your alignment versus the NPC's alignment; how many of this NPC have been
killed lately, and some random variation. There is a big experience bonus
for groups of 3 and a small one for groups of 2. Orcs also receive an
additional experience bonus when grouped together.
Immortal reward of experience can be for a number of things, such as good
roleplaying, a good description, or a good role. These rewards are at the
discretion of the observing Immortal, and do not come when asked for! Along
similar lines, Immortals may punish you through a loss of experience for poor
roleplaying, including going Out Of Character (see OOC).
You can use your PROMPT to keep track of how many experience points you need
until your next level. (This is abbreviated 'TNL' for 'To Next Level').
You lose experience by:
- Killing good-aligned creatures if you are good-aligned
- Recalling out of combat (by use of the 'recall' command below level 10)
- Being the target of certain spells
- Dying to a creature (non-player)
- Dying to a creature or player while flagged as WANTED.
- As a penalty from an Immortal
