XP and Leveling
- XP values vary based on what you interact with (rare ores give more XP than common stone)
- Leveling uses a hybrid OSRS-style formula - early levels are achievable, endgame requires dedication
- Level 100 requires approximately 10 million XP per skill
XP Requirements
| Level | XP Required | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|
| 10 | ~14,000 | Early game |
| 25 | ~96,000 | Early-mid |
| 50 | ~446,000 | Mid game |
| 80 | ~2,300,000 | Late game |
| 100 | ~10,000,000 | Endgame mastery |
