# Levelling Up

### 🧬 Improving Skills <a href="#improving-attributes" id="improving-attributes"></a>

Leveling up Terries allows users to enhance their [skills](/using-the-werate-app/terries/skills-points.md).

To progress, users must accumulate <mark style="color:green;">**Experience Points (XP)**</mark> to unlock the next level. Leveling up also requires a **predetermined amount of&#x20;**<mark style="color:purple;">**Credit or $RATE**</mark>. Any **unused XP is cumulative** and carries over to future levels, ensuring no progress is lost.

With each new level, users can allocate **one Skill Point** to the skill of their choice, allowing for strategic customization and optimization of their Terry's abilities.

#### 🎯 How Levelling Works

Your Terry gains XP from core actions such as:

* Leaving reviews
* Completing weekly quests
* Participating in XP-based events

When enough XP is accumulated, your Terry can level-up in exchange of <mark style="color:orange;">**Credits**</mark> or <mark style="color:purple;">**$Rate**</mark>

{% hint style="info" %}
XP is affected by **Ambition**, which accelerates progression by increasing XP earned per action.
{% endhint %}

#### ⬆️ What Happens When You Level Up

Each time your Terry gains a level:

* You receive **+1 skill point**
* The skill point can be allocated to **any skill**
* Your Terry becomes more specialised based on your choices
* Increase raw power of your Terry

There are **no forced builds**. Progression is fully user-driven.

With each level users will see the raw power of their Terry increase, allowing them to gain more <mark style="color:green;">**XP**</mark> and <mark style="color:blue;">**LP**</mark>.

#### 🧠 Skill Points & Growth

Skill points earned from levelling can be invested into the 4 core skills:

* [Ambition](/using-the-werate-app/terries/skills-points/ambition.md)
* [Focus](/using-the-werate-app/terries/skills-points/focus.md)
* [Luck](/using-the-werate-app/terries/skills-points/luck.md)
* [Influence](/using-the-werate-app/terries/skills-points/influence.md)

This allows you to shape your Terry toward:

* Faster progression
* Greater rewards
* Increase competitiveness on leaderboards

Levelling is the **primary source of long-term power**.

***

#### 🏆 Level Caps & Rarity

Each Terry rarity defines:

* Maximum level
* Maximum total skill points

Higher-rarity Terries:

* Start with more base skill points
* Can reach higher maximum levels
* Scale further over time

This makes rarity impactful **without invalidating lower-tier Terries**.

## 🪙 Cost of leveling up <a href="#cost-of-leveling-up" id="cost-of-leveling-up"></a>

When levelling up, players have 2 costs to pay in the process:

1. A cost in <mark style="color:green;">**XP**</mark>
2. A cost in <mark style="color:orange;">**Credits**</mark>, which can also be covered with <mark style="color:purple;">**$RATE**</mark> (when available).

#### XP Requirements

All Terries rarities share the same XP cost structure; however, higher rarities have more levels available for progression.

* Advancing from **level 0 to level 1** costs **100 XP**.
* Progressing from **level N to level N+1** requires **1.03 times** the XP needed for the previous level (**N-1 to N**).

#### Credits/$Rate Cost

While all Terries follow the same XP progression structure, the <mark style="color:orange;">**Credits**</mark>**&#x20;/&#x20;**<mark style="color:purple;">**$RATE**</mark>**&#x20;cost** for leveling up varies depending on the Terry's rarity. Higher rarities require larger investments, but they also offer more levels and greater potential power.\
\
The first level cost increases as rarity increases but the progression multiplier per level decreases.

This system ensures that players can choose the rarity that best fits their goals and budget. While higher rarities require a greater initial investment, they provide better scaling. Future updates will reveal details for Mythical and Ultimate rarities.

#### 🔄 Long-Term Progression Philosophy

Levelling up is intentionally:

* **Linear** (steady progress, no hard walls)
* **Compounding** (XP boosts lead to more XP)
* **Permanent** (levels cannot be lost)

Progression favors players who remain active and engaged over time, not short-term bursts.

***

#### ✅ Key Takeaways

* Levelling up unlocks skill points
* Skill points define your Terry’s strengths
* XP fuels levelling, boosted by Ambition
* Rarity determines long-term ceilings
* Progression is flexible and player-controlled

Levelling is the backbone of Terry evolution and long-term mastery.
