Levelling
Contents
Overview
Levelling is an important aspect of the server. By levelling up through gaining experience, or XP, players can unlock additional gameplay content such as new spells and more quests. Players are also able to craft high-tier profession items, as well as be eligible to apply for certain staff positions.
The minimum level is Level 1 with 1 experience, and the maximum level is Level 80 with 217934026 experience. A player’s level indicates what academic year they are as a Hogsworth student. Every tenth level is equivalent to one school year. For example, Level 10 is Year 1 and Level 11 is Year 2. There are eight years in total: Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4, Year 5, Year 6, Year 7, and Graduate. After Year 7, a player will be considered a Graduate. Upon graduating a year, a message will be broadcasted in the in-game global chat.
There are several different activities a player can do to gain experience and level up. These include completing Daily Activities and quests—including event quests, converting Academic Credits and Arena Tokens, killing mobs, working on professions, and completing Reputations.
Daily Activities
Daily Activities in /me, when completed and claimed, can reward a small, modest, or large amount of experience. There is also the Daily Reward, which provides a gift of experience if the player is not Level 80. The specific amount scales to the player’s level.
Quests and Events
Quests, including Daily Riddles, and event quests reward experience upon their completion. The specific amount depends on the quest’s level. Completing all available quests in a year or years prior does not guarantee levelling up to the next year. Side quests do not reward experience.
Academic Credits & Arena Tokens
10 Academics Credits, also known as AC, can be converted to experience at the Credit Trader in the Trophy Room or the /me menu. 5 Arena Tokens, or AT, can also be converted to experience at the same rate as Academic Credits at the Arena Tokens Shop NPC at the Duelling Halls. For classes, 10 AC is the standard amount and, for challenges or tournaments, 5 AT are awarded for participation.
The specific amount scales to the player’s level. However, this amount is more significant than the amount gained from Daily Activities, mobs, and professions.
Mobs
Mobs found around the world /map provide some experience when killed. The specific amount is dependent on the player’s level. Generally, to maximise the amount of experience gained, it is best to kill mobs that are three levels above your player level. However, note that there are not enough mobs for all levels to have an ideal mob to kill.
Professions
Professions provide more ways to gain a small amount of experience. Currently, only potions brewing and confectionary cooking provide experience upon completion, where the specific amount depends on the crafted item’s level. Herbology does not give any experience.
Reputations
Reputation tasks at various towns give experience upon completion. The amount is the same across all of a town's tasks. However, this amount varies between all towns, as it is relative to the town's level. More experience is earned by claiming a town's Tier 2 reward, granting a permanent XP boost when killing local mobs.
