This guide provides a full breakdown of Experience Point (XP) costs for all skills, spell slots, and class progression options in Volaire. XP is spent during check-out or through post-event submissions. All XP expenditures must follow the rules of teaching, prerequisites, and class-specific pricing.

* Your character's level = Total XP earned ÷ 100 (rounded down). * Each event grants “Blanket XP” based on your current level:

^ Level Range ^ Blanket XP ^
\| 5–15       | 80 XP       |
\| 16–25      | 50 XP       |
\| 26+         | 30 XP       |

Additional XP may be earned from:

* Roleplay submissions * Plot accomplishments * Crafting and production * Volunteering or donations

XP can be banked instead of spent. Just indicate this clearly at checkout.
