Skills
Five skills that level from 1 to 99 as you play. Titles at 50, 75 and 99. Cosmetic only, never power.
Skills level up from what you do in the world. There are five: exploration, navigation, survival, contracting and slayer.
They are cosmetic only. A level never gives items, damage, speed or protection. You can ignore skills and play plain anarchy.
Levels
Every skill goes from 1 to 99. The XP table is the one Old School RuneScape uses:
| Level | XP |
|---|---|
| 2 | 83 |
| 10 | 1,154 |
| 30 | 13,363 |
| 50 | 101,333 |
| 75 | 1,210,421 |
| 92 | 6,517,253 |
| 99 | 13,034,431 |
Level 92 is about half the XP of 99. Level 30 takes a few hours. A 99 takes hundreds of hours.
XP keeps counting after 99, up to 200,000,000 in each skill. Past 99, /skills shows a virtual level in brackets, up to 120. For example: exploration 99 (105).
Your total level is the sum of your five skills.
How each skill earns XP
XP comes only from what the server sees: where you are, the chunks you enter, the contracts you finish and the mobs you kill on a task.
| Skill | XP from |
|---|---|
| Exploration | 2 XP for each chunk you enter for the first time. The first find of each zone type. A part of a zone type you have not been in before. |
| Navigation | Distance travelled, paid each minute. Walking, swimming and boats, up to 10 blocks a second, pay 0.4 XP a block. Faster travel pays 0.12 XP a block. Height does not count, so the Nether roof counts like any route. |
| Survival | Each active minute alive: 80 XP, rising with the length of your life, up to 240 XP a minute once you have been alive 20 hours. |
| Contracting | The console's own contracts: 5,000 XP for each page. See Codex. |
| Slayer | Kills on a task from /slayer: 3 XP for each point of the mob's health, and a bonus when the task is done. See Slayer. |
Zone XP for exploration, by tier:
| Tier | First find of the type | A new part of a type you found |
|---|---|---|
| Common | 2,500 | 150 |
| Uncommon | 8,000 | 500 |
| Rare | 25,000 | 1,500 |
| Legendary | 80,000 | 5,000 |
| Mythic | 250,000 | 15,000 |
A part is a 1,024 by 1,024 block square of that zone type. Each part pays once.
Zone types already in your /zones log when skills start pay their first-find XP once, the first time you join after. See Exploring.
What does not pay
- A chunk pays once per player, ever. Logging out and back in does not reset it. An old chunk pays the same as a new one: what counts is that you have not been in it.
- At most 3 new chunks a second count. Flying faster than that pays no more.
- Navigation pays the straight distance of each minute, measured against where you were in the last 10 minutes. Circles, loops and going back and forth pay almost nothing. Credit stops at 50 blocks a second.
- Dying or changing dimension starts the navigation minute again.
- Survival counts a minute only if you moved at least 3 blocks or turned in it. Spectator and creative count nothing. Dying resets the bonus for a long life. It never takes XP.
XP drops and level-ups
- XP you earn shows on the action bar, for example
+1,200 exploration xp · +25 navigation xp. It is added up and shown at most every 2 seconds./skills dropsturns it off, and again turns it on. - Each level gives you a chat line, such as
navigation level 31., a small firework and the level-up sound. Only you see and hear them, so they never show anyone where you are. - A 99 is announced to the server:
Steve reached 99 survival.Your name shows only if your/statsis public. Otherwise it says "a player". Exploration and navigation 99s are announced 6 hours late, because they say you are out travelling.
