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
Levels 26+	30 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
