Experience and leveling

The maximum level is 110. Levels come quickly up to about 60; from 61 each level needs about 20% more EXP than the one before, and levels 100-109 need the same 2.95 billion each. Monsters give their full EXP whatever your level.

A formation has up to 6 pilots and an EXP bonus: +30% with 2 members up to +70% with 6 (members on the same map). Two ways to split the EXP:

• Shared: equally among the members on the map within 14 levels of the highest one.
• Individual: by the damage each member dealt.

On the burning maps the EXP of every kill is multiplied - by a factor that depends on your level. Each nation has its own copy, plus a shared combat zone. You can’t enter below the minimum level, and duels are off.

• Friends: +1.5% for every mutually online friend, up to +70%.
• Strength of Decca: every 300 kills of monsters within 15 levels of you gives +35% EXP for 30 minutes.
• Happy Hour: server events that raise EXP, SPI and drops - watch the in-game announcements.
• Items: EXP capsules, and some armor options give extra EXP (see Gambling).

Below level 16 dying costs nothing. From level 16, when a monster kills you, you lose SPI (about 2,000 at level 20, 9,200 at 50, 26,800 at 80, 49,700 at 100). Only if you don’t have enough SPI do you lose EXP instead - and you can never lose a level.

Dying to a player or to a nation war monster has no penalty. Happy Hour events reduce the loss.
