Experience

"Experience points are awarded for defeating foes and completing quests. However, the experience is not applied automatically; characters must rest in order to level up."

Experience, also known as XP or EXP, are points that allow characters to level up and unlock abilities. Experience points are earned by completing quests, defeating enemies, and sometimes through conversations. The more difficult the task, the greater the experience reward. It is recommended that players choose quests and hunts where they meet or exceed the recommended level.

Resting
Experience points accrued are not applied to characters until they rest at a lodging or haven. When this happens, the points are applied and characters can level up, which automatically increases character attributes.

Skill experience
Skills use a separate set of experience points, but still follows the same requirement of needing to rest before the accrued points are applied.

Boosting experience
