Every time you gain a level, your energy is fully restored.

- In-Game Tip

**Level** is an indication of the general amount of **Experience** (usually abbreviated '**exp'**) a player has gathered. A player of higher level is able to have more maximum Energy and maximum Strength, as well as access to more Locations and the ability to send certain Assemblers than a player of lower level. Locations unlock at a certain level, and a higher level location will generally be more difficult than earlier ones, and will always use more Energy and give higher rewards when explored than an earlier Location. A Location's level should not be confused with its Rank.

* A list of the levels locations unlock at is on the Locations page, while
* A chart of how Energy improves can be seen on its respective page.

A player's Level increases when a certain amount of experience points are gained. The progress bar in the upper left side of the screen indicates how close you are to levelling up. If you click on the bar, it will show you the exact numbers.

## Benefits to Leveling Up

When you level up, the game will display the new level and the rewards, plus several of your attributes increase.

* Energy equal to your current maximum amount will be awarded
* Strength will be completely restored
* Maximum Energy increases by 5 points
* Maximum Strength increases by 5 points
* Some Coins (amount varies with level)
* 1 Ruby
* New locations can be unlocked
* More types of Assemblers can be gifted.
* At significantly high levels (90+), the rewards for exploring Locations and Mini-Games will be higher. This makes it so you are still able to level up at a reasonable rate even past the 100s.

Since a level up gives prizes, it may trigger a Daily Chest to appear.

## Contraries to Levelling Up

Levelling up, especially to extremes, tends to make the game rather polarized.

* Energy and Strength will take much longer to fully charge. The flat rate of recharge for these two does not increase with level.
* Getting to an extremely high level will cause Event locations to use more Energy.
	+ More Boosts or Energy items may be required to counteract this.

## Methods of Obtaining and Increasing EXP

Experience is an omnipresent drop from locations and mini-games. As long as they are completed, the player will always receive experience.

Here are some ways to get more experience

* A higher level location will award more experience relative to a lower level location.
* As your Rank increases within a location, more experience will be awarded.
* If a location or mini-game has an anomaly, you will be awarded more experience than usual for completing it.
* Two Totems award experience.
* Some daily occurrences award experience (for instance, picking up all 3 daily chests).
* The event daily task awards experience.
* Use Boosts - The Golden Owl Boost will double experience for 2 hours and many other boosts will increase your experience at various rates for exploring locations or mini-games. Several boosts which increase your experience may be used concurrently.
* Completing Quests awards experience.
* When finished with all quests and all diary investigations, the daily task will award experience.
* Simply Visiting your friends (just for popping in).
* Charging friends' spots when Visiting.
* Having a friend with the Mechanic attribute visit your spots.
