# Leveling & XP

Almost everything you do on CraftZ earns **XP**, and XP is what makes you stronger over the season.

### Earning XP

You gain XP from:

* **Killing zombies** and other enemies
* **Defeating** [**world bosses**](/threats-and-factions/bosses.md) (a big chunk each)
* **Opening chests and crates**
* **Surviving** [**horde raids**](/threats-and-factions/horde-raids.md)

Whenever you earn XP, a **`+X XP`** message pops up (in chat or on the action bar) so you always know it counted.

### Levels

Your **level** is calculated from your total XP - early levels come fast, and each new level needs more XP than the last.

{% hint style="info" %}
Higher [**ranks**](/progression/ranks.md) earn XP faster. **VIP earns 1.5× XP.**
{% endhint %}

### Level-Up rewards - `/levelup`

Reaching a level tier grants a **crate** - one for each milestone you hit:

| Level | Reward                                               |
| ----- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| 1     | `level1` crate                                       |
| 11    | `level2` crate                                       |
| 31    | `level3` crate                                       |
| 51    | `level4` crate                                       |
| 71    | `level5` crate                                       |
| 100   | `level6` crate - can contain a **nuclear weapon** ⚠️ |

{% hint style="danger" %}
The **Level 100** `level6` crate can hold a **nuclear weapon** - the solo way to end the season. See [Save the World](/game-modes/save-the-world.md).
{% endhint %}

### Skill points

Completing the **tutorial** and [**quests**](/progression/quests.md) awards **skill points**, a separate progression track you spend on the skill system.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://wiki.craftz.net/progression/leveling.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
