Character leveling and Exp amplifiers
Character leveling in Tales of Pirates is done by accumulating experience (Exp). When the experience bar reaches 100%, the character levels up. As the level increases, the character becomes stronger: basic characteristics, increase, stat and skill points are added, and it becomes possible to wear equipment of a higher level.
- Server Exp rates by default: 7x
- Max character level currently: 80
There is an alternative way to level up - the quest Hexathlon.
Gaining experience and cutting experience
Experience is gained by killing monsters. A character gains full experience for killing a monster if:
- The character is no more than 5 levels above than the monster
- The character is no more than 9 levels below than the monster
- The character kills monsters alone or in a party of up to two players
For example, a level 40 character will receive full experience for killing monsters from level 35 to level 49 inclusive. If the difference between the level of the character and the level of the monster is too large, or the character kills monsters in a party of 3-5 players, then cutting occurs: the character receives only a part of the possible experience. Based on this, it is beneficial to level up characters in a party of two characters, looking for monsters of approximately the same level as the characters.
The current amount of accumulated experience can be checked by moving the cursor in the upper left corner of the screen 5 circles, above the character's HP bar. Also, experience can be checked in the "Exp" line in the stats tab, which opens by pressing the Alt+A combination.
Experience in party
In order for all party members to gain experience for killing monsters, they must be in close proximity to both monsters and each other. If one or more party members stopped gaining experience, you need to move ALL characters in the party closer to each other.
