Experience (or XP) is a measure of your capabilities and growth as an
adventurer. As you explore the realm and engage in various activities, you
will earn experience, which contributes to your overall progress and level.
As you accumulate experience, you will advance through different levels. Your
level starts at 1 and increases as you gain more experience, with the maximum
achievable level being 51.
You can view the amount of experience you have accumulated using the
EXPERIENCE command, or XP for short. This will also display the
amount of experience you are worth to another, should you become their
victim. Your experience can also be seen under SCORE.
Ways to Gain Experience
At present, there are three primary ways to earn experience in Mystavaria -
quests, combat, and general activity.
Quests
As you roam around the land, you will encounter many denizens (NPCs) with
various tasks and adventures to send you on. These quests can range from
simple errands to complex puzzles, providing you with correlating amounts of
experience upon completion.
Combat
Engaging in combat with mobs, animals, and NPCs (PVE) and successfully
defeating your opponent comes with a reward of experience based on their level
and difficulty. It is also possible to engage in combat with other players
(PVP or PK), however this often carries much more risk, as your own demise
will result in a loss of experience. Engaging in PVP and slaying a player
signifcantly younger or smaller than you (someone not considered a combat peer)
is highly frowned upon and comes with no experience rewards, as you will have
proved nothing about your prowess.
Activity
In consideration of those who do not wish to partake in combat, the preferred
method of gaining experience will likely be through carrying out various daily
activities such as harvesting and gathering resources, as well as crafting items
vital to your own and other's survival.
Groups and Shared Experience
Shared experience is not yet functional, however this is in the short term plans
to add to encourage adventurers to work together.
