EXP (XC1)

EXP, short for Experience Points, are the points used for increasing one's in Xenoblade Chronicles and Future Connected. Once the required amount of EXP is collected, the character automatically goes up one level. EXP is still collected while at the maximum level of 99, but it has no further effect. There is no practical cap on total EXP.

The amount of EXP needed to reach the next level increases with each level, as listed here. EXP and level are carried over into.

In the Definitive Edition, EXP is not earned when playing in Time Attack mode. The Definitive Editon also introduces Expert Mode, which stores most EXP gained in a "box" that can be accessed later, instead of granting the EXP to character immediately. It also allows unrestricted conversion between EXP and levels, both up and down.
