XP & Skill Cost Tables
Volaire uses a point-based XP system to determine character progression and skill acquisition. This page includes class-specific XP costs for most major skills.
🧮 How XP Works
| Character Level | Blanket XP Earned per Event |
|---|---|
| Levels 5–15 | 80 XP |
| Levels 16–25 | 50 XP |

Your character level is calculated by dividing your total XP by 100 (rounded down).

🧠 XP Spending Notes
- Teacher Cards are required for skills with prerequisites unless waived by plot or Logistics
- Skills without a valid Teacher Card may result in XP being banked
- XP is only spent during downtime or Logistics-approved events
- You may bank XP at any time—just note this on your envelope or ticket
