XP

Experience points (often abbreviated to XP) are a quantitative measure of character progression throughout The Witcher games. In all the games, XP is accumulated by completing quests, objectives, defeating enemies or monsters, or through special actions. These points are applied to a total score which is used to determine when the player will level up.
== ==
 
Completing quests and defeating monsters are the primary ways to earn XP, but sometimes simply speaking to the right NPC at the right time (usually to advance a quest) also earns XP.
By accumulating these points, Geralt's level periodically increases. Level 1 requires 1000 XP, and each subsequent level increase requires 1000 more XP than the last. Each time Geralt levels up he receives several talents that he can use to improve abilities, attributes and skills in the Hero panel (during meditation.)
Every ten levels, he also increases in rank, although the only effect of this is to change his 'title'.
=== Rank progression ===
: Novitiate Witcher: Levels 1 – 9
: Rising Witcher: Levels 10 – 19
: Skilled Witcher: Levels 20 – 29
: Seasoned Witcher: Levels 30 – 39
: Master Witcher: Levels 40 – 49
: Legendary Witcher: Levels 50+
This table contains the cumulative experience required for each level along with the type and number of talents received upon reaching each one:

=== Notes ===
* There are 111 Bronze, 102 Silver and 33 Gold talents to choose from.
** Of these, 11 Bronze are given free of charge due to Geralt's previous training.
** Two more Bronze are obtained as 'story abilities' (also free).
** One extra Silver is obtained by completing the Ripples quest.
** An additional 6 Bronze, 3 Silver and 2 Gold come from mutagenic potions rather than XP.
** Thus, having reached level 50 and consumed all mutagenic potions along the way, Geralt can acquire all Bronze talents, all but 22 of the Silver and all but 8 of the Gold.
** You keep earning XP and levels even after reaching level 50, but you won't get any more talents for them.
** Maximizing Experience Points
== ==
In The Witcher 2, Geralt can progress through a maximum of 35 experience levels, each of which requires 1000 XP. For each level, Geralt's Vitality increases and he receives one talent point to apply to a skill tree. Before talents can be allocated to Swordsmanship, Alchemy or Magic, 6 points must be spent in the Training tree.
== ==
In The Witcher 3, Geralt earns ability points each time he levels up. These points are used to obtain upgrades to combat abilities, signs, or other skills. There are 70 levels worth of XP totaling 124,000 XP. From levels 1-10, 1000XP is required to reach the next level. From levels 11-20, 1,500 XP is required to reach the next level. For levels above 21 to the maximum of 70 (100 with ), 2,000 XP is required to reach the next level. For the first 20 levels of New Game +, you gain twice as much experience points as in a regular game (from all sources). The table below shows the XP required for highlighted levels.

The amount of received for completing quests depends on the difficulty level and Geralt's level. If Geralt is six or more levels higher than the recommended quest level, he only gets 5% of the total reward for the quest (a few exceptions exist).
 Since Patch 4.0, the level difference after which quest decreases to 5% is changed from 6 to 10.
Stats 	Easy	Normal	Hard	Very Hard
Experience Gain	100%	100% 	90% 	80%
Regardless of the above, Geralt receives 1 for every 10 paid during the quest by selecting the yellow dialogue option (this rule does not work in some Hearts of Stone quests and Blood and Wine quests).
In addition, there's earned each time when Axii is used in dialogues, depending on Delusion's level:
* Level 1: 25
* Level 2: 35
* Level 3: 40
Another source of is combat. You gain from 1 to 48 for killing an enemy. The amount depends on the difficulty level, Geralt's level, and the enemy's type and level. If Geralt is six or more levels above the enemy, the kill awards only 1 (2 on lower difficulty levels). Enemy upscaling does not affect the number of received in combat. In some quests, such as The Battle of Kaer Morhen, no are earned for defeating enemies. Geralt usually receives 1 for defeating an enemy in a fist fight.
Abandoned sites and Monster nests both reward unaffected by the level constraint and difficulty level.
