Levels & Experience

Advance by earning experience from core activities. Level-ups are challenging but generously rewarded.

Experience (XP) is earned from crafting, market purchases (Elements & Offers), artifact mining, swap trades, liquidity rewards, and daily rewards.

Different activities grant different amounts of XP.

Craft value: 0.05 XP per 1 MST value.
Discovery multiplier: ×500 applied when the craft is a successful discovery.
Foresight bonus: ×2 applied on top of discovery when you correctly predict the result.
Experiment bonus: ×10 applied when your experiment yields a Cracked Shard.
Market spending (Elements & Offers): 0.1 XP per 1 MST spent.
Artifact mining: 0.25 XP per 1 MST mined.
Swap trades: 0.001 XP per 1 MST traded.
Liquidity rewards (swap): 1 XP per 1 MST-equivalent of claimed trading fees. MST-equivalent is paid MST plus paid USDC divided by the claim-time pool price (USDC per 1 MST), covering USDC-only and mixed fee claims. If that price is missing or not positive, XP uses paid MST only. Unclaimed liquidity, principal, and unpaid fees do not grant this XP.
Daily rewards: XP included in regular claims.

XP multipliers are applied when special conditions are met during crafting. They multiply your base craft XP.

Formula: element value × 0.05 × multipliers

Discovery ×500: awarded when you discover a new recipe for the first time.
Foresight ×2: awarded on top of discovery when you correctly predicted which element would be created.
Experiment ×10: awarded when your experiment fails and produces a Cracked Shard instead.

Multipliers stack multiplicatively. Discovery + Foresight = ×1000 total.
