Overview[]
The majority of actions Prospectors undertake grant experience, from chopping trees to crafting items. The difficulty of the Prospect and various food buffs also affects how much experience Prospectors earn per action. When leveling up, Prospectors will earn blueprint points and talent points.
Points per Level[]
For levels 1-60
On odd levels, a Prospector gains:
+1 Talent Points
+4 Blueprint Points
On even levels, a Prospector gains:
+2 Talent Points
+3 Blueprint Points
Level 60 is the maximum level shown, but Prospectors continue to gain experience and will continue to level/earn blueprint points indefinitely. Once a Prospector has reached level 60, no more talent points will be gained and will max out at 90 total.
If you want to experiment with talent and blueprint progression the Icarus Talent Calculator (not up to date) is an excellent tool for this.
Experience Chart[]
The specific amounts of XP required for each new level is shown in the table below. If you consider that chopping down a tree and turning it completely into usable wood results in approximately 700-900 XP, that gives a simple indication of what is required to gain each level. Different gameplay styles will lend themselves to leveling faster or slower.
Note: XP values put into your Characters.json file must not contain commas. Ex: 2,400 should be 2400
