Revision as of 18:46, 19 January 2022

Experience Points, or EXP, are a system that drives the advancement of players in the game. All Disciples of War, Magic, the Hand, and the Land receive EXP for a wide variety of activities. Upon reaching a certain threshold, players advance by one level. Upon reaching level 90 in a class (or in the case of Blue Mage, level 70), players will no longer earn further EXP from any activities. Various ways to boost EXP gain are also available to players, as well as several one-time sources of EXP.

Sources of EXP

Disciples of War and Magic

Disciples of War and Magic earn their EXP primarily through combat activity, such as defeating enemies, participating in FATEs, and completing dungeons. The following is a non-exhaustive list of activities that grant EXP to Disciples of War and Magic:

Disciples of the Hand and the Land

Disciples of the Hand and the Land earn their EXP through crafting and gathering activities respectively. The following is a non-exhaustive list of activities that grant EXP to Disciples of the Hand and the Land:

  • Synthesizing Recipes from the Crafting Log
    • A one-time EXP bonus is awarded the first time a recipe is crafted.
  • Gathering Items from the Gathering Log
    • A one-time EXP bonus is awarded the first time an item is gathered.
  • Completing Tradecraft or Fieldcraft Levequests
  • Completing Class Quests
    • Can only be earned once per character.
  • Completing certain Challenge Log entries, once per week
  • Turning in Collectables
  • Participating in the Restoration of Ishgard
    • Experience points are lowered to 1000 per turn-in after Level 80.
  • Participating in Ocean Fishing

Bonuses to EXP

Quite a number of bonuses can be applied to increase EXP earned. Most of these bonuses stack additively with one another, unless otherwise noted in the sections below.

Food Buffs

Food items can be consumed for a wide variety of buffs, as well as a 3% bonus to EXP gain for 30 minutes. The duration can be extended to 60 minutes by consuming multiple servings of the same food. This bonus applies to EXP gained from defeating enemies, synthesizing recipes, and gathering items.

Armoury Bonus

The Armoury Bonus is a bonus applied to EXP gained by combat classes when below the level of your highest class. The bonus is +100% for levels 1-79, reducing to +50% for levels 80-90. Despite what the in-game Active Help entry implies, this bonus does not otherwise change depending on the discrepancy between levels. This bonus applies to EXP gained from the following activities:

Rested EXP

Rested EXP is gained by resting or logging out in areas designated as sanctuaries. Sanctuaries are typically areas around an Aetheryte as well as City-States, such as Limsa Lominsa, Gridania, and Ul'Dah. Sanctuary status is indicated by a crescent moon symbol to the right of the experience bar. Rested EXP provides a 50% bonus to EXP gained from defeating enemies, synthesizing recipes, and gathering items. Because of this, rested EXP is consumed as a percentage of the bar, rather than a flat amount.

The current rested bonus is displayed on top of the experience bar. The dark orange portion indicates how much EXP can be earned before the bonus fades. If the bar is blue, it indicates that the bonus will carry over to the next level. It takes 7 days to gain a full bar of rested EXP, at which point no more will be accrued.

Free Company Actions
